Wind s. s. F., very light; the start to take

1t was seen from the start by the friends Of the
A1pnlaS that, even WIN DeT great spetu, huu
with such a master as the renowned Johnny
Clemens, aided by his no less celebrated crew,
that che would have but slim chance with the
cork shells from New York, particularly the Gladi-
ola. Her crew looked wistfuly to the northwest
ward, where the horizon was black and threaten
ing earnestly wishing stiff breeze would spring
up from that or any other quarter. But they
sighed and wished, sighed and wished, but
sighed and wished in van. No blackening wave
was edged with white, and the lake was hardly
rippled with the lghtest zephyr. Never
theless, the opponents OF the Xiphias
! fought shy Of John Mahoneys sword fish,
/ and that Flying Dutchman, johnny Clemens.
They wanted three to one, and even after the
boats had rounded the first triangle they would
not bite at less odds than two 10 one. Only q
puff came up at intervals TO distend the sails, aud
the yachts had plain sailing and little maneuVer'
| ing before them.
| The GIadiola came in first, 5h. 25m. ass; the
! Xiphias, $685.; the Elephant 5:29:55; and the
! Others 80 far behind as not to have been timed.
] In the first round the Gladiola passed the home
stake at ll:35 the Elephant at 4:5:50, and the
! Xiphais at b. s m. BY the calculation OF ar
! amateur friend of the undersigned, who tool
much interest in the contest, the Gladioa beat the
Elephant il the first round, by m. Is s., and the

Ben String, while returning to his home from
church, between IL and II O'clock at night, was
crossing the bridge over the bayou at jackson
street, when he was sccosted by two strangers
and ordered to halt. For what reason Is not
known, bat instead of hating, on being ordered
so TO do, he took TO his heels, when the two I'M
known individuals on the bridge drew their pis.
tols on him and fred some half dozen shots. Two
of the balls from their weapons took effect in the
hip Of the fugitive, and third entered his back
lust nnder the shoulder, coming out at the right
nipple. Although thus seriously wounded, String
kept up bis fight, and succeeded in reaching his
home at the corner of Overton and Third streets,
where he survived, however, only an hour and a
half.
