Alleged Opposition Of the House of Delegates TO te
Bodrd-Drs. Coz and Bliss Fear PestiisRce.
A meeting OF the Board of Health was held ON
Saturday evening last. The Chair CDR. Cow
stated that the committee appointed AT a pre-
ylous meeting to wait on the members of the
Legislature TO secure prompt action the
measures suggested by the board had performed
their duty. By the members of the Council they
had been well treated, but he could not saw the
same for the members Of the House of Delegates
he could not explain the opposition on their
part to the measures suggested by the board,
whether II was from members per Sc or from a
power behind the throne He referred to the
was probable that there would be an early visi-
tation of cholera. He thought il advisable to
proclaim to the public that they had not met
WI the expected support from the Legislature
in abating nuissnces, which body he charged
with neglect. They seemed willing at ali times
to vote millions for the establishment of the
city, but nothing for the public health.
DIR. Verdi said that in conversation with Mr.
BOSWELL, that gentleman seemed to approve, and
IN iact DID apProve, the suggestions of the board
and promised to vote for them, with slight
amendments. Mr.. Boswell then reported bill,
and, strange to say, moved to lay It on the table
The members of this board were gentlemen, and
should be treated as such.
Dr- Bliss said that, in view of the fearful con-
dition of the city he could not but forsee an cpl
demic. Speaking of the visit of the committee
TO the Legislature, he said he never would enter
treated them well, but those Of the House of Del
egates treated them as an excrescence. They
should explain officially TO the Governor, and
tnrough him to Congress, who were opposing the
board in its objects.
DIR. Bliss stated that he had been waited on by
a number of soap manufacturers who were az
fecfed by the previous action of the board and
the secretary was directed to invite all of them
to confer with the board on Tuesday evening
next
Dr. Verdi presented statement of the In
tendant OF the Washington Asylum i'm regard TO
smallpox patient named John Smith having
been discharged from the hospital of that in
stItutlon with his smallpox clothing on AMI
charging DR.. j. French Hartigan with the re-
for reply.
The Chair said there was some feeling in re-
gard TO the order for the removal of Tobriner's
bone establishmsnt, on the It'll street road and
MI Tobriner being present. was permitted 10
explain. The fact was then developed that the
factory was outside the city limits and the Chair
thought the board had no jurisdiction He was
OVerruIed, however; and, on motion, il was
agreed that the entire board should inspect
the pre- misses, with view to future action. Adj

THE REGATTA ro.DAy.

The scene I'm the neighborhoedo OF the Potomac

Use by the bcatmen to get good view OF the
start.
The judges, Messrs. jackson Humphrey,
Henry kGrtz and Thomas A Richards, were ON
hand early, and giving directions.
THE SMALL BOATS.
Soon after O'Clock the signal was given for
the small boats TO fall in line, and they took
places in the following order under the sailing
masters named: Spray, ID. Junkins; White Cap,
>. Cumberland, Folly, - -; John 4.
Owens, T.. Faunce; Fanny Bell, Captain Bell.
At $40 the signal gun was fired for the start,
and all cut loose at one time. The breeze was
ste ady and blowing down stream, afiording the
most desirable opportunity for an exciting race.
The boats shot of at a fine rate of speed. The
Spray having choice of position, on the right,
led the way some distance, but the John T.
Given soon run past, holding the lead until out
ging her closely. Many small bets were made
on the Given and Spray, until the ferry Doat
from Alexandria arrived and reported the White
Cap next to the Given, when the betting
changed.
THE FIRsT-cIAss YACHTS
a little before 10 o'clock the frst-class boats,
which had been lying off the Southern mail boat
wharf, were signalled TO come into line. They
took their places and sailed; the boats and cap
taiDs being as follows: Dolphin, Captain VI
MeDeTmott; Dauntless, John Hally; Little Ella,
EDWARD Tasker, and Witch of the Wave, Fl
Hayne. AT 10 O'Clock the signal gun was fred,
and of they few before the wind, each with top
sail set, the Dolphin leading, and followed IN
order by the Ella, Dauntless, and the Witch
being in the rear. This position was held but a
short time however, as the Witch took a
straight coarse down the middle of the
stream, with wind steady and directly
astern, she soon was ahead of all the rest
they taking q tack over towards the flats,
seeming thereby TO lose ground. The Dolphin
and Little Ella were closer together, and so far
as could be seen from the wharf maintained
their relative positions until near Alexandria
when the Dolphin was thought TO be ahead OF
the Ella, the Witch of the Wave still leading all
and the Dauntless bringing up the rear The
excitement was intense as these boats shot over
the waves, and small bets were freely made on
the Witch and the Dolphin. The wind being
fair, the passage down was quick. As soon rs
they reached the Arsenal wharf the steamer
Naws left with animmense fresght OF passen-
gers.
