THB REGATTA To.pAY-The regatta to.
day promises TO be most interesting and oxoit-
ing affair Yesterday, the Cottage restaurant
foot Of Sixth street wharf, and Sheokols, foot Of
Seventh street, wore gaily decked with Gags and
streamersi and guns wero fred of preparatory
to the coming event OF to-day. The interest
attached has increased very much the past few
days, and the crews and owners Of tho boats
have been busily engaged iu getting everything
about their craft in ship-shape and Bristol
fashion" A test Of the beating qualities Of
some Of the boats was made yesterday, with the
s. T. wind blowing, which may post the respect.
i've parties somewhat better with the capacity and
sailing qualities Of their craft. A difference Of
time will be made In favor Of those whose length
and size docs not reach tho measure Of others.
The boats will leave the Sixth Street wharf at
IL I'm. stake.boat will be placed for all to
round, and the firing Of gun a signal to get
rosdy, and also to start. They will round tho
buoy OF Fort Washington and return.
The HI Livingston will carry band on board,
and the prizes will be presented and received on
board Of hor. The Potomac Ferry Company will
also run two boats, charging but Is cents for the
trip, and, no doubt many will avail themselves
Of the cheap fare to accompany the yachts.
The boats entered up to the present time are
the National, Captain T. W. Miller; Highland
Mary, Captain j. +. Pusey; Augusta, Captain
Sippardi Young Ariel, ii. NJ. 6roen; Greyhound,
Captain Stone; Minnie Clark, Captain LsfFerty;
Perseverance,, Captain a. II. Miller; Starr. Cap.
tain Watt Cottage, Captain Watt Metamora,
Captain McNallyi Burnett, Captain W. E. Stew.
art Catharine Combs, Captain Skinner Josie.
Captain Houghtonj John s. Moseby, Captain
Harrison, and Lady Lyons, -.
There will, perhaps, bo others entered this
morning, and participate In the raco. The wind
as It was last night, II continuing to-day, will
| afford 6ne opportunity to test the merits Of
the boats-in beating, tacking, md with flowing
| sheets.
There Is a vast difference In the size and model
Of the boats-somo centre board--others keel,
and We anticipate In consequence considerable
difference Of time made by the various craft.
But one Of the Alexandria boats had arrived
up last evening" but as there Is no occasion for
thom being at the wharf until the hour Of sail
ing, we trust they will oil be present. and may
the best one win.
