THE LAST REGATTA OF THE SEAsON.--As it
is anticipated that the regatta to come off mex t
"Wednesday, September 25th, will be the con
Guiding one of the season, in order to make the
affair more Interesting than any that has
hitherto taking place, at the suggestion Of
parties interested, and at the particular re-
quest of number of ladies, the prize to be
awarded on this occasion to the winning boat
will be handsome suit OF flags. ThiSproceed-
ing, 1t is expected will be satisfactory, and
will tend in great measure to do away with
any Ill feeling or dissatisfaction which might
arise in conseq uence on the awarding of money
prizes. 1t is acknowledged that the absen ce
OF money prize ought not In the least mar the
interest Of gentlemen fond OF aquatic
sports. 1t is hoped On this occasion to show
the public that at the National Capital we are
capable Of producing a boat adapted to sailing
on onr waters which will defy all competition.
Boats must be entered At least "a hours before
time Of starting at Major Watts, the head.
quarters Of the club, Sixth street wharf. The
regatta will start from Sixth street wharf at
IT. O'Clock precisely, on the morning OF the
25tb, and be accompanied by steamboat to
Fort Washington and return.
