The second regular Regatta of the
Carolina Yacht Club was held on the1,
course at Wrightsville Sound on July
| the 4th.
Upon our arrival at the Sound. we
found that quite large crowd had
gathered and the modes of CONVEYANCE
comprised everything that could be
pulled by horse or a mule, carts,
carriages, buggies, ambulances and
wagons, all loaded with eager .isi-
tors to our seaside resort. Considera-
Die speculatlons were indulged in con-
cernlng the run to be made by the
several boats, and there was an any-
lous look on the faces of the interested
ones: The day was fair and the rain

Inc Qut wee, owing to some defect
IN her rigging, was only entered at
the last moment, and her place in the
race, as fast boat, was lost by her
set of sails.
The Gipsy, the newest boat of the
Club, on her first race was unfortun-
ate. Her peak halyards were broken
only a few minutes before she was
called to start, and she Lad her rud-
der badly strained, to that she was
several minutes in getting off: and the
same accident happened to her rieoino
while in the race; after which She
withdrew.
The boats sailed well generally,
but the Little Waltc1. gained fresh
aarels, and justified all the anticipa-
ions OF her owner and friends. She
came IN, after completing the whole
course, at 1.42. 43, arriving time being
