The remaining boats got 10 the wharf be. |
tween and 8 o'clock.
THE RESULT.
The winning boat Is owned by General |
Michler, and was built by Mr.. Thomas at
wharf, as O pleasure yacht
for his family. Heretofore she has not been
much thought Of as fast sailer, but the
race Of yesterday proves that she can show
Ga clean pair OF heels" to all the would-be
champions. The Dolphin, the winner Of the
second prize, was built at the navy yard,
and Is q trim little craft. The Curlew sur
prised all who witnessed her sailing. She is
really beauty. This vessel, II will be re-
membered, Ia the launch OF the rebel ram
stonewall, and was purchased some months
ago by Messrs. George Bauer and VIM. Q.
Magee, who have spent about 81 900 In put
ting her In good shape.
The result has pleased all who witnessed
tho regatta, and we hope the contest Of
yesterday will be but the commencement Of
many more such trials Of speed.
THE CIRCUs-IMMENsK CRowD.-Colonel
Ames, the proprietor Of the circus, certainly
has no reason to complain Of the reception
given his establishment, for never before In
the history Of the clrcus-goers OF this conf
munity has there been such a terrific Jam as
that which was witnessed at the foot Of
]
The crowd at the afternoon exhibition was
also dense. Last night the throng began to
press into the tent as early as o'clock, and
at 1850 every seat was occupied. At 7;45 the
tlcket-seller ceased disposing Of "paste-
boards" and by s o'clock the cry Of the
doorkeeper was, "For heavens sake, keep
back; you cannot get chance to see any
thing, the crowd Is so thick" The per-
Torrance is in every respect as good as any
l 10 - "a il alb
ington, and some portions Of the programme
have rarely been excelled.
The performance Of Cordona and wife,
Mile. Tamour, and the trapeze performers,
are worthy Of special mention. Lawton is a
funny clown, and altogether the show Is
really worth seeing by all our people, and II
Is to be hoped that the management will
"abide with us" until our people have q
chance to visit them. Owing to the dense
crowd present last night, Mile. Ella Eugene
and Herr Langell could not perform the "wild
beast" They appeared in the ring, however
and made their congo to the audience. We
regret TO state that during the grand eHtr,
one of the horses fell, badly inJurlng his
rider, who was properly cared for In the
dressing tent, and is likely to recover soon
