SATURDAYS REGATTA.
Our nautical boys Of PineviheI and

Our nautical boys OF flneVlhe/an'
alexandria, :, treated Us to- anotnert ca
leasing and exciting boat race, on 81
ast Saturday evening, which proved nv
ar more interesting and better con- In
ested than any Of the previous ones. "
Tor several days before the race it =
vas whispered that Pineville would i
make gallant and desperate row tor "
he purse, the horns and the champl' e
,nship, and in furtherance OF these y
noble efforts, the old tar of the Un- 7
known, who fights with commenda- q
Die energy and pluck, and has a
dashing set Of sailor boys to aid him,
h d thoroughly overhauled and
rugged anew his fine craft-and also
that a new one from Smiths Dock
would be launched for the occasion.
Counter to all this, the old French
man, though having full confidence
in his Aetna, determined to be pre-
pared and doubly armed for the COM
ing fray and at once, with the ald'
advice and assistance Of four or i've
GOOD ones, turned out a new one' the
Lillian Lee, from his ship yard, ana
thus Alexandria and Pineville re-
newed the contest with two entries
each. The day, the occasion and the
attendance were all admirably calcu
lated to please and nerve the con-
testants, and at the appointed hour
they started for the race. we give
the names Of the boats as they
reached the winning flag, and must
add that our favorite, the Aetna won
again. and retains the horns, which
hard and honest efforts strove to
grasp from her, and that she came
out a fair winner in the time Of live
minutes and four seconds: LIST, Aetna;
2nd, Unknown; Sd, Caucasian; 4th,
Lillian Lee. All were well together
r and came home without a halt.
