OYSTER BAY. L. L., July t. 1874.
The third annual regatta OF the Seawanhaka
Yacht Club was sailed to-day and resulted IN one
OF the finest contests ever Witnessed in American
waters. The harbor OF oyster Bay and the Sound
was alive with oil sorts OF sailing craft and
every place OF view and vantage was
crowded with a vast cOncourse every one
Of which was well repaid for the time and trouble
From all this multitude there arose the hum OF
interest, and sometimes bursts OF rousing cheers,
and sometimes the shril chorus Of the steamboat
whistles greeting favOrite yachts. The weather
was fine. In the early morning the sky was
clouded, with hardly wind enough to rustic the
foliage but about ten O'Clock fresh breeze set in
from the southeast.
OF THE INTERESTED VESSELS
there appeared to start the schooners Ariel. Ider,
Peerless Triton, and soOps Addie, Alert, Glance
and Vindex, these eight being set down as first
class boats in the programme; OF the second class,
the Avinel Fei Seem Mirth Undine and Uncle
John, and in the third class the Alcyone Celtic,
Jeta, May and Mary Emma.
THE COURSE
for the schooners and first class sloops was an i'm
aginary line running due east from a staKeboat at
buoy No. 2 on Middle Ground, to and around a
stakeboat OF Hog Island buoy thence passing to
northward of the stakeboat at Lloyd's Neck to and
around a stakeboat or the buoy on EatOns Neck,
thence to and around stakeboat of Shippen Point
and back to the point of starting, about twenty-five
miles. The course Tor the second and third class
boats from anchor of the oyster Bay steam
boat dock to stakeboat OF the buoy on Middle
Ground, thence to a stakeboat on Hog Island buoy,
thence TO Lloyd's Neck buoy, thence TO ana around
the mark off the buoy on Middle Ground, then
second time around the course, distance of
twenty miles.
THE SECOND AND THIRD CLASS
boats were beautifully started at lOh 53m
and presented pretty picture as they sailed out
OF the harbor with the nb and mansail boo med

The housewife knows she need not roam
Beyond their place to bless her home,
Each room that by them is supplied
Can glory in exultant pride.
They manufacture and know we'll
That nothing but the best they sell
Upholstering and Repairing too,
Prompt-slighting naught-they ever do.
No wonder then that people flock
Unto their place to see their stock;
Their record shall remain e'er sure,
For none excel in Furniture.
Their tasty shop with all supplied
Has well become Augusta's pride,
And people find their troubles DER
Whene'e 'er they enter in their store.

An Aeed Diyine's Birthday.

The venerable Rev. DR.. Lovick Pierce,
father of Bishop George F. Pierce, of
the Methodist E Episcopal Church, South,
was ninety years of of age March "A,
1874, and celebrated the occasion with
a family dinner that day at Sunshine, u
Georgia, the residence Of the Bishop.
subsequently he wrote q letter to the
Southern Christian Advocate, describing
the scenes of the day, the closing para
graph of which is as follows: .
Butofmy birthday dinner: Solomon
says, Better is dinner of herbs, with
love, than q stalled OK, and hatred
Herewith We had a dinner better
than a stalled OK, and full flow of love
Herewith. Ihad about thirty of my
own family circle present, running far
out into the fourth generation and, to
add to the pleasure of the occasion, Rev.
J. w. Burke came in on an unexpected,
but most welcome visit, and with sunny
face increased the social cheer. Moth
ing was wanting to make it the high-day
of my life but the presence of all nv
progeny. We feasted freely on the
finest dinner ever given to me as a birth
day festival; drank nothing but water,
enjoyed life, and closed the day by the
baptism Of my last-born great-grand-
daughter. / cannot expect ever to see
another birthday like it; but I give
thanks that this lastone was bright with
out and calm within. Nothing hap
Pened through the day, even to the cry
ing of child, to disturb the peace.
Let us say, Bless the Lord, from ever
lasting to everlasting, and let all the
people say amen. Praise ye the Lord. >"

Mechanical Photographic Printing
without q Press.

The following process, devised by
Jacobson, requires no press, and is
adapted to printing on round objects,
as vases, bottles, ETC., and indeed may,
perhaps, be used with colors that are
to be burned in. A carbon picture,
formed in the usual way on a glass
plate, is surrounded by wooden frame
which fits closely to the glass, and into
which is poured, when not too warm, a
mixture of one part of gelatine, one
part OF gum arabic, and two parts of
glycerine. When this has stifened the
frame is removed by the aid of knife,
and the gelatine plate, with the adher-
ing carbon print is carefully inverted.
It is linked with printers ink previously
dissolved in turpentine or benzole
(without the addition of any varnish)
and distributed by means of q glass
roller with a ground surface. A sheet
of uncosgulated albumen paper is then
laid upon it, and after being rubbed
gently with a caoutchone rubber, is
drawn from the plate. The paper must
not remain too long upon the plate, or
it may soil the latter by solution of
some Of the albumen. It is not neces-
sary to dampen the plate, since it is
damp enough to yield several dozen
Impressions, and when exhausted is so
microscopic that it will again absorb
enough moisture from the air in a few
hours.

Effects OF Ammonia on WhoOping
COngh.

A writer in the Medical Journal, Lon
don, states that in case of whooping
cough in the last stage-that is after
the third week-he has had ono ounce
of the strongest liquid ammonia put
into gallon Of water in an open pan,
and the steam kept up by means of half
a brick made red hot throughout, and
put into the boiling water containing
the ammonia, the pan being placed in
the middle of room, into which the
patients were brought as the ammonia
steam was passing off. The method,
he says, was used in the evening, before
bedtime, and it proved 50 etticacious in
abating the spasmotlic attack, and If
ter three or four days terminating the
malady, az to establish, beyond doubt,
the value of this mode of Inhaling am-
monia as therapeutic agent in tran
pniiizing the nervous system in tho
whooping cough.

Cheering News.

A conference of hotel-keepers in the
Rhine country of Switzerland was re-
Gently hela at Baden Baden. The
principal speakers agreed that the prac-
tice of extorting high prices from those
entertained during short season of
travel is mistake. High hotel charges
cause people, it was observed, to hurry
on their way and shorten their journey.
1t was, therefore, proposed to extend
the tourist season by the simple expe-
dent of making the prices more moderate
throughout, and opening the establish
mcnts for longer terms thanthc ordinary
three or four months. The reformers
admitted that it would take some time
to accustom tho public to the change
of system, and consequently to remu-
ncrate those who try it. The matter,
therefore, for the present remains in
abeyancc.
