The annual Regatta Of the Yacht Club. whicA
took place yesterday, was decidedly dull sdair
The race was postponed from the day before in oos
ssousncs. AZ we were informed of the stiff bresss
that WAS blowing, some Of these fresh water saIo0
being apt to be qualmish when it Is at all rough.
The members and their invited guests proceeded
TO the anchorage on board the elegant steamer NJ
tewan, small and dingy little tug being hOspsaSR
provided for the exclusive accommodation Of ns
members Of the press This little craft was digua-
fed for the nouce by the title Of tie Judges oos
not that the Judges were on board her, they knew
entirely too much. Nor was there any one else %
board prepared furnish lists o; the boats, ccpissa
the rules, or key to The signals. AL these Ting
we were expected to divine as best we could. Hecs

Favorita at II 20 a. m.
The wind at the time of starting was blowing
moderate breeze from the northeast, and the ~

course down the river and bay under pretty eO't
Roadway. After they passed the first stake-bos =
Robbins's Reef, the wind lulled and soon chorps>
around to the south-east-the process Of bestins

The Maria and the Bonita, schsones, with tho
sloop Fairy, for some reason beet known to thoss
charge of them, here fell out of the race Though hs
Maria rounded the buoy at S. w. SPi, and returned
