On Wednesday morning between l and O'Clock
fire broke out in small one story tenement, sit
uated on the east side of Dryades street, between
Thalia and Erato streets, and before the flames
were under control, nearly the entire range of
buildings in the square, fronting on Dryades
street, was destroyed The principal sufferers
were the occupants, Mrs. Burns, Mrs. Tapka and
Mrs. Rose, and Messrs. Young, Kane Pratt, Stun
berger, Oster and Dorman. The blacksmith estab-
lishment of Mr.. Adam Ruth, on Thalia street, was
also destroyed. The buildings were not valuable
and on them the insurance was nearly up to the
value; but the occupants, though generally in
sured to some extent, were in no instance fully
covered. Mr.. Joseph Drostie, of Louisiana Hose
company, we have heard much praised for his gal
lantry in extracting two children from the flames
under perilous circumstances

LOWER STORY OF THE MASONIC HALL FOR
EAsE-Under the present circumstances, when
the lease of good business stand is tantamount
to a fortune to any merchant, we think it some
what surprising that the lease of the lower floor
of the Masonic Hall should not already have been
taken. It is really one of the best locations for
retail store or auction mart in the ctyas it is in
the limit of the most frequented neighborhood ;
near all the principal theaters and places ofpopu-
lar resort besides being directly in the way of all
the Masons going in and coming out of the differ
ent lodges a very important item, when it is re-
membered that the order is very large and infu
entail in this city and State. The changes the
board of directors propose to make in the build
ing, if the lessee requests it, will throw the entire
ground floor of the building into one large room
which will form one of the largest and bes
lighted stores in the city The room will be yer,
high and particularly adapted for showing goods
while the floor being considerably above tn
ground will make it dry and safe for the storag
of merchandise. Persons wishing to obtain thi
important lease can learn the terms and all neces
sary particulars by applying to Mr.. 7. D. Va
Horn, secretary of the board of directors, at thi
Office.

In company with several gentlemen, we yester
day afternoon visited the new dredge boat Louis
Gaguet which the lessee has just built to dredge
out the Car0ndelet Canal and Bayou st. John, SO
as to be ready III time for the fall trade. Steam
being raised, Q trial of her dredging capacity was
made and proved highly satisfactory to the parties
directly interested and astonishing to US. In
twelve minutes the auachile lifted from the bottom
of the canal which at that point was eight or nine
feet deep, eight cubic yards of mud, and deposited
it in pile on the bank, ready to be carted away
The facility with which it works is truly astonish-
ing, and the amount Of work it is able to do in a
day is almost incredible to person who never saw
| one in operation as it is estimated-and we be-
| eve the estimate is fair one-that the machine
can do the work Of six hundred good hands in a
day. Consequently, with such an assistant fol
dredging, it is but fair to calculate upon every
obstacle to commerce being removed from the
canal, bayou and pass in ample time to meet the
requirements of trade on the lake
The lessee is determined to make the Caronde
let Canal the great center of the lake trade next
winter, and we believe that be will succeed il
money, enterprise and sound business sense tell oil
an undertaking for he is in possession Of all these
qualifications.
1t is his design to begin work with his new
dredge boat at the lake end, and open out the pass
at the entrance of the bayou to sufficient deptl
to admit the largest class of steam vessels trading
in the lake. He will then turn his attention tt
widening the canal and Strengthening the bayou
and as he will have another dredge-boat at worl
soon, all the work will be done in couple 0
! months at the farthest. But when we say all tn
work we do not wish to be understood as ntimat
, ing that these are all the improvements he has il
e contemplation. On the contrary, he will nOtTea2
3 his abors until he has formed large and capacou
harbors for all the different classes of vessel
. which will enter the canal; constructed tn
wharves necessary for the safe lane
r ing and receiving of freight and building Of saf
y warehouses for its reception. In this conneCtio
it is apropos to state that the shell road down til
bayou to the lake is now repaired, and is a
:, smooth as could be desired. Therefore, our ci
v iaens will no longer be deprived of their favori
Y drive during the summer.
d The amount of business being now done by tn
canal is much larger than ever before at this Sc
% son, judging from the immense piles of lumbe
wood and bricks on the sides of the canal and IL
g large quantities of merchandise on the wha
is around the basin, where we saw q steamer lyin
= This was truly an agreeable sight to us, and v
lg sincerely wish that the canal will realize under Il
present management all that Carondeet
~ originator, expected of it, for every facility wh
th is added to the commerce of the city is money
er the purses of US all.

There are many points on the river where keeping

Great interest was shown in this race, and con-
siderable sums were wagered on it.
As night approached and the temperature be-
came peasanter, additions to the assemblage
were constantly arriving from the city, and by
dark it was estimated that from eight to ten thou
sand people were on the grounds. Meantime, the
dancing commenced, and as darkness set in
splendid pyrotecnic exhibition was given. The
scene was brilliant and exciting. The grounds
were illuminated with Chinese lanterns and other
devices, and the great multitude of both sexes
moving to and fro the ascent of rockets, the
charms of music and the pleasures of the dance,
all contributed to render the festival one of the
most allurng spectacles ever presented to the
people of New Orleans.
1t is gratifying to know that the effort has in a
pecuniary sense. exceeded the expectations of the
department. To say nothing of the tickets pre-
viously soId the cash receipts at the gate, on Wed

will also be realized from the rent of booths. Tht
sports and entertainments were resumed yester
