The Foam was the first yacht to come up to the

followed by the Eva both heading out to sea on the

the port tack, with the Magic in her wake, about
I half minute in advance OF the Tidal Wave. The
Resolute was some distance behind, and the TarO-
linta did not succeed In getting across within the
fifteen minutes time. The yachts crossed the line

Street EncrOachments.

EDITOR CHRoNIcLE-1t is unpleasant
70 complain of any one. sven for neglec:
Of duty, and especially Of those whose
service and duty-if rendered is with
out compensation.
There is one item of neglect, however.
of our city fathers, and their predeces-
sors, which has worked very great in
jury to our public grounds and streets,
and which II allowed to be continued
may in time las it has already in the past
done) take from US some of the most i'm
portant sppendages for their proper i'm
provement At the northwest corner of
our park, on the river, poss ession has
been given and taken to q valuable COR
ner, which greatly mars the beauty of
the grounds.
The east side Of Liberty street, front
ing on the public square, has been en-
croached upon so that three or four feet
in width of the street is occupied by
b~uildings-to say nothing of some three
or four thousand feet of lumber still in
front Of that piled up in shape Of steps to
get to it.
About two feet in width Of the north
side Of Market street, is in possession Of
property holders adjoining, and is now
claimed by them. North Liberty street
is in, the same way encroached upon,
and only wants time to secure posses
sion. -
Main street, north of the railroad, and
south Of the canal, South street and Ca
nal street, are partly taken possession Of
in the same way, and want only the
curative operation Of time to take the
enclosure from us.
Others, by the indifference manifested
heretofore in regard to such encroach-
ments, are consulting their ease in
building street fences, and are at this
time fencing up portions OF our streets,
may in time secure to them a title,
as has been acquired by others.
Even our County fathers have in a
limited degree reached out from the Jail
lot. Our street to the cemetery is now
being blockaded in the same way.
Would it not be well for our worthy
to quietly disturb the slumbers
of u city fathers and arouse them to
sufficient action to provide against such
in future, and at once take
possession Of such streets as are now
sncroached upon by adjoining property
That part Of Washington Avenue still
held and kept closed by priv right, is q
public Svrong. Could not our city fathers
some way mo that nuisance?
