TIE YAcHT RowEEA. - We published on
Saturday description of the Yacht {" Row
ems" which has been donated to the Fair.
Since then we have gained somo additional
information IS to her history. She was built
at New London, Connecticut, for Regatta
which took place in New York bay, in which
she took the prize for sloops of the second
class. Her splendid sailing qualities attrac-
ted considerable notice, and she was purohas-
ed and fitted up luxuriously by Winslow,
Lanier & Co., ef New York. She was af-
forwards purchased by gentlemen of this
city, and made the voyage from Now York
to this city via the Gulf Of St. Lawrence, a
distance of twenty five hundred miles, in
most admirable style. She Is now repaired
thoroughly, and is in excellent order in eve.
ry respect.
She has logged between fourteen and IF.
teen miles an hour, and is doubtless the
swiftest sailing craft on the Lakes. Her fur
niture and fittings are of the most elegant
and costly character. A similar vessel could
net now be built for less than ten thousand
dollars.
A VALUABLE RELIC.-Among thG
rare and Interesting relics which will b,
on exhibition in the museum Of the SANITARY
Fair, will be the beautiful sword of Colone
Ofton, alias Colonel Williams, Inspector
General of Braggs army, who was hung b.
Rosecrans, at franklin, Tennessee, on tn
nineteenth of June last, he having been de
tected as spy within our lines. Apart from
it's intrinsic beatty the sword derives neV
interest from the history of its dashing an,
brilliant owner. The details of his scouting
expedition, his discovery and execution
with an account of his checkered and roman
tic life, were published in Hsrper's Weekly
July 4th, 1858, as we'll as in many Northern
dailies, and attracted much attention. Tn
sword represented for exhibition by HonrJ
Newcomer, the well-knOwn "scout of the Ar
my of the Cumberland.
WELL DONE, MAssILLosl-The citizens
of MassillOn have sent up splendid cOllso-
tiOn of articles for exhibition at the Santa
~ Fair. They have done more and bette
than this, hOwevsr,-they exhibited at homt
the articles which they had prepared for thu
Fair and cleared $3.50 for the Sanitary Com
mission by the exhibition. Good for Mas.
