the full dress reception Of the gallant Thir.
tecntn regiment, National Guard State OF New York.
The mere announcement Of reception by this
fine military corps In the City Of Churches never
falls TO meet with the enthusiastic endorsement OF
the fair friends OF the members Of that organization
and never fails 10 attract them to the entertainments
Last evening the attendance was most select
ami numerous, the toilets OF the ladies'.
being both elegant aud rich The floor Of
the Academy was carpeted with handsome
medallion Brussels carpet, the same which adorned
the place on the occasion OF the late Charity Ball.
Canary birds were suspended from The balconies in
handsome cages. These feathered songsters lent
the charm of warh!ing notes to the music OF Ora
fula's and tho regnental band. The former was
located IN the rear part OF hall, which fitted UP
as tent with muskets stacked and drums in tiers,
The arrangement OF the bunting displayed was
tasteful. Portraits Of prominent officers OF the
Second National Guard were hung about the boxes,
and the effect on the whole was pleasing and
Among the prominent officers present were Major
General Woodward, Drlgadier General Thomas
o. Dakin, Colonel Frederick Mason commanding
Thirteenth regiment; Lieutenant Colonel Briggs
Major Daniels, AdJutant Rich ards Captains Thomas
Dean, Baldwin, and Major Charles Schurig OF
several other commands also participated In the

Haze kept ahead. The owner OF the latter In.
formed me that lie had no faith in his boat winning
the race because of the duness OF his runners.
Coming up the Snow Flake met with au az cident
III the breaking OF her rudder stock. AS
soon as all got out OF their boats the
judges held meeting, when Nj. Roosevelt,
of the lcicle, stated that he understood the
boats were to turn a stake boat at New hamburg
buoy which caused him 10 sail past the real stake
boat OF Jewell's creek. His misunderstanding,
however. unfortunate for him, ami the judges
awarded the prize to Mr.. t. V. Jonnston's boat the
Ella, which gave general satisfaction. Very many
supposed extraordinary time would be made, and 1t
was, when the fact is considered thai the boats
compelled to make numerous stretches from the
east to the west shore and back 10 avoid shell ice
and other oDstructions. In making these stretches
it is closely estimated that alI The boats went at
least four miles out or their way from direct line
That distance was accomplished on The down "trip
in ten ana hall or eleven minutes, the quickest
time on record Coming back the wind was dead
anead, consequently the matter Oi time could not be
taken into consideration. ON none OF the tacks,
however, did the boats consume more than minute
to mile. When the winning boat came In she was
welcomed with shouts and cheers and the blowing
OF steam whistles. lt Is not improbable that race
will take place between tue Ella and lcice for
another prize, MR. Roosevelt Is not satisfied as 10
the speed OF the two vessels, III consequence OF his
mistake. This afternoon Mr.. Johnston took Rev.
Mr. Van Giesen Oh board the Ella and made five
