/ The race was run as follows: Mr.. JNo. B.
HERIoT, Jr., had in his possession two stop
watches, one to note the time of the Eleanor, and
the other of the Maggie Mitchell. The watch to
indicate the former was stopped at 12h. 35m 1s.i
the other at l2h. Som. U.s., making difference in
the time of the watches Of Am. 54s.
/ AS the stern of each vessel passed the end OF
the wharf, going out, these watches were again
set in motion, and according to the time as indi-
Gated by them, the Eleanor arrived at Oh. Am.
1ts; the Maggie Mitchell at Oh 26m. 5Sts. These
two differences added together, make total Of
7m 46s, the difference of time between the Two
boats, as decided by the judges The correctness
of this decision is shown by the fact that the time
occupied by the Eleanor in the race was III. 49nl,
pts, and Of the Maggie Mitchell H. som, 46ss.; the
difference between which is exactly I'm. 46s., as
before
We are glad to see that these boat and yacht
races are exciting increased interest in our COM
munity. Never before, as far as we know, has 30
much pains been taken to ascertain the exact time
Of starting, etc., as in this instance.
The Battery, and the wharves adjacent to South
ern Wharf, tho starting point, were lined with
spectators who had collected to witness the race
The steamer Fannie, which had been chartered by
Mr. LOUIS KEsA,qEE for the occasion, had o full
compliment Of passengers and accompanied the
yachts on the race. The steam tug, and new
yacht built by Mr., JONES, accompanied the sailing
party, Al the hour appointed the yachts left the
wharf, and were soon out OF sight. .s.
From notes furnished, we learn that the Eleanor
kept the advantage on the outward trip. When
opposite Comn,ing's Point she raised her aying
jb and gaff top-sai The Light Ship Was rounded
in III. 3Sm. In returning, act the jib topsail, and
shortly aferward the flying pbboon was carried
away, which impaired her speed somewhat. Some
difficulty was experienced in raising the square
sail, and when of Fort johnson scraEed the bot
tom slightly. ..
The Maggie Mitchell met with no mishap be-
yond getting her gaff top-sail ropes entangled.
This occasioned some little difficulty, but the
ropes we're soon arranged, and the Maggie bound
ed over. the waters triumphantly. The race e1-
cited considerable attention, it was not only a
test between the two boats, but between the build
ers-one, the Maggie, being Northern built boat,
and the Eleanor one Of Mr.. JONES best, Another,
recently from the hands OF this celebrated builder,
sailed by Captain BoNNEAU, accompanied the race,
and proved worthy Of her creator.

THE KILLING OF DANIEL DUENEGAN,
CoLoRED.-The killing of Daniel Dunno
gan, a colored man, in West Tennessee on
the oath ultimo, is thus reported to the
Freedmen's Bureau:
Daniel is the freedman who shot young
Jones, who was attempting in company with
other rowdies, TO break into his cabin. 1t
appears that Daniel was going North on the
train, and that al the Trenton depot he was
recognized by John Dunnegan and Richard
Gardner, both of whom jumped upon the
train, and upon its arrival at Dyer station,
they arrested Daniel and took him before
a Magistrate at Rutherford station, where
he was examined by Esquire Written, who
committed Daniel for trial at the next term
of the Circuit Court. Daniel attempted TO
escape, and they shot and killed him. At
any rate, Daniel was found dead upon the
railroad track, and a Coroner's jury re-
turned a verdict of killed by a pistol shot
by some persons unknown.' Warrants
were issued for the arrest of Dunnegan and
Gardner, aud upon their examination be-
fore John r. Pearcy and j. II. Vaughn,
Magistrates for the 9th and 9TH civil dis
tries they were discharged"
