THE START AND COURSE.

THE START AND COURSE.
The Regatta Committee decided that the start
should be flying one, and the time OF each yacht
be taken as she crossed an imaginary line between
a stake boat which was anchored IN the Narrows,
near Fort Wadsworth Staten Island, and the
judges steamer. The signals for starting were
given--for preparatory signal whistle, and
the yacht club flag the steamer to be lowered,
and, ten minutes later, for the start, one whistle
and the flag to be again lowered
The course was from the starting point as above
Southwest Spit, keeping 1t on the port hand in
turning thence TO and around the Sandy Hook
Lightship, Keeping it on the starboard hand in
rounding, and return over the same course, keep;
hand. Yachts to keep to the eastward of buoys
Nos. Q, IL and Is on the West Bank, going aud re
turning, and pass between the judges boat and
the stakeboat on arriving home.
There was but little wind from the north
northeast, and IL seemed only tantalizlng
to the hard weather boys anxious for a
smacking breeze. The new yacht Prospero, built
without a model and from paper drawings, and
the new pilot boat Thomas II. Negus bowed
down to the starting point making picture bril-
liant in aquatic pleasure. 1t was we'll known that
the Enchantress, Prospero and the new pilot boat
were only trying their luck and stretching
their canvas. and when, with this scene OF bright
sunshine, landscape and waterscape, the Low at
last, with the members OF the Official COM
mittee, steamed to her appointed position,

not in tue race anticipated the neet, and
the contestants. There was but little manGuvring
among the boats and the Peerless, with four

PROBABLE ACTION OF RUSSIA
The Treacherous BOkharans Likely To De

TELEGRAM TO THE FEW YORK HERALD.

LONDON, Oct. 2, 1873
The following important despatch has just
been received from Mr.. J. A. MacGahan, the
HEnA1Ds special commissioner in Central
Asia, under date of September 10, from
Tashkend =
Central Asia presents at this time an ex-
tremely disturbed condition of affairs Civil
war is reported as raging f1riously in Kokand
against the native ruler, Khudoyar Khan
The nomadic Turcomans Of the deserts
around Khiva are obstinately fighting against
their Russian conquerers.
The Afghans are in active hostility against
their Persian neighbors on the west, and at
the same time carrying on dangerous in
trigue with the Emir Of Bokhara.
Yakub Bey, the Khan of Kashgar, is fighting
with the Chinese on the extreme Western
limits of the Celestial Empire.
This whole central region of Asia is in
state of dangerous unrest and governmental
are constantly devastated by relentless and
savage warfare.
Bokhara seems to be content with this war
like attitude of all the surrounding khanates.
From this point she is judged to be playing
the most serious part in fomenting this unu-
sual military activity, and it is quite possible
that, feeling the alarm caused by the Russian
advance into Central ASIA which was recently
so loudly spoken of in England. she has stu
diously excited the Afghans to disorder, and
perhaps furnished them with mitrailleuses and
other warlike provisions It is altogether
probable that the Russian Emperor will before
long be compelled in seli-defence to take
towards Bokhara the same course he has re-
Gently taken towards Khiva, and permanently
occupy the territory and reduce it to the con-
dition of Russian dependency.
Severe Defeat of the Afghans by tho Per-
sians-Murders by the Natives.
LONDON, Oct. 8, 1878.
A special despatch to the Daily Telegraph,
from Balkh, Central Asia, reports severe de-
feat of the Afghans by the Persians.
Two Europeans named Picquet and Rivas,
supposed to be Swiss travellers have been
murdered by the natives in Central Asia.
There is reason to believe that the Afghans
design the conquest and annexation of Box
hara. A rebellion has broken out in Khokan.

oil TO the West Bank; Atalanta second, Clio third
aud Vindex next; at twelve O'Clock, the Vixen
and the Vision went about on the starboard tack,
and now 1t was thought that the race must be
between these boats of their class. The Ataanta
went about on the starboard tack at i've minutes
past twelve, heading for Coney Island. At twenty
minutes past twelve the Vixen did likewise, and
then she was leading her competitors strong. The
vixen, at 12h. 13m went about OF Coney Island,

watched with much concern. The Vixen stood down
toward the East Bank, and then, at l2n 47m., wNht

with peculiar stroke of fortune, the wind hauled

impossible to note their man9uvrlngs. The larger
craft were away astern.
Now all on board the Low and the excursion
steamboat Charles Chamberlain were intent upon
the arrival Of the yachts at
THE SOUTHWEST SPIT.
Approaching this buoy the wind died out so
greatly that there hardly enough to blow out

thought that she would pass the beacon in advance

The times this morning, in editorial retro

recklessness and dishonesty lately characterzing
the management or some OF the greatest under

1t was pleasant to note at this portion OF the
race THAT the larger yachts still manifested the
most persistent spirit to continue; and, though it
was certain that the light breeze wOud make the
smallest boats the vlctors, they showed the same
determination 'to Go or dle." The Enchantress
rounded the lightship at 5h. 6m. ss. From the
Hook 1t was free wind home, and all the sloops
sent up balloon jibs and jb topsas, and the big
boats their balloon jibs, jib topsails and other
kites.
Darkness was now approaching. and soon the
moon cast her silver light upon the waves
and sails OIL the yachts, making very bril-
liant the scene. 1t was an expressed fear
that the race would not be made in the stipu-
lated eight hours but happily this not realized.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2, 1873.
The four-oared race between the Nassau Club of
New York, and the Analostans, OF Georgetown,
came or this afternoon on the Potomac, and was
won by the New Workers..
The Nassau Club was the guest Of the Potomac
Climb, and during their brief visit made hosts OF
friends. The contest was over a three mile course
and at four O'Clock the signal for starting was
given, the Nassaus having the choice, and they
selected the Virginia side OF the river. This gave
them an advantage in rounding a somewhat alb
rupt bend IN the stream. loul start brought the
boys back, and the second signal found the Mas
saus under way leading, which advantage they
main tained to the end or the course, which was
reached in sixteen minutes thrty-nine and
three-ffth seconds, the Analostans fourteen
and three-ffths seconds behind The judges
were Colonel Frank Jones, OF the Potomac
Club, Tor the Nassaus Mr.. Freeman OF the
Analostan Club, for the Analostans ana W.
II. Ottman, OF the Potomac Club referee. George
b. Engelhardt, OF New York. coached the Nassaus
and John Blew the Analostans. The shores were
crowded with spectators, and unusual interest was
taken in the race The impression before the start
was that 1t would be an exciting contest, but the
victory was an easy one for the Nassaus.
