q BRIEF MENTION.-It is rumored that a
government agent is here from Wash ing

ing
Among the gougers at the lake, Monday,
were the boatmen. One man charged - to
put three gentlemen on a craft not half a
mile from the landing. Proprietors who
charged fabulous prices for good positions
deserve mention, of dishonorable kind.
but then if gentleman declined to pay $40
for situation to see the race, the fault was
his alone.
The young men who attempted to stride
are qualified to be sailors.
The residence of Mr. C. E. Fenner, No. 6l7

Henry Madison and James Kenny were
decidedly uucivii to each other in speech
and then waxed together with their fists
but Kenny closed the trouble by trying to
shave his opponents life with razor, and
then fed Madison has two wounds in his
side, which will prove unwholesome.
1t is singular how they did it. In going
to the lake on the Pontchartrain road last
Monday men and boys occupied very in
convenient positions ON the cars. How
they got there is strange, but how they
stuck is stranger. A person in the best
seats is sometimes compelled to hold on, but
how fellow on top one of those car could
keep his place is past finding out.
A GREAT DAY AT THE LAKE.-In years
past the lake shore was the scene of some
lively and happy times, but the scenes OF last
Monday eclipsed everything. There never
was such large number of people in
Milneburg, and scarcely . disagreeable in
cident occurred; indeed, everybody seemed
fully disposed to be good natured and enjoy
the event. OF all the regattas, rowing or
sailing, this took tho palm. One reason,
probably, was because our friends from
Charleston participated.
In the lines of vessels which formed
solid barricade from the starting point to
the outer stake boat, one particular craft, a
lugger, attracted considerable attention,
not that there was anything peculiar about
the vessel itself, but the excursiOnists on it
were the jolliest among the jolly. From
first to last hearty laughter and loud jest
rent the air as if all care had been left be-
hind pent up between the brick walls of the
city. Jokes and songs we're the kings for
the time, and that jolly crew forgot such
things as business, and feasting had pleas
ant nook in the hold. So really happy
was the load that visitors on surro unding
boats quite neglected the racing to W illness
this by-play. All the time that the rowers
were not contesting melodious songs foated
lover the lake, and when finished all who
heard them rendered loud applause as
token of appreciation. The mas ter spirit
was Mr.. Leon Lamothe, the happy and
handsome who was recognized as captain,
assisted IN his arduous duties by Mr.. George
Lawrence. Major Ryan and Mr.. D. Pc chelu
were mates, while Mr.. Charles Lac Dune
looked after the tat larder. Messrs. w.
johnson and Peter Cooley reigned iber
ally in the kitchen, greatly retarded in their
work by Mr.. F. Desbond. There is an ante
bellum crowd who know how to live for
the pleasures of lite, and when trouble
comes they let it roll off like rain drops
from waterproof. The Italian crew OF
four caught the fever. and the way they
sang Garibaldi must have charmed all who
heard it, As the lugger passed in after the
race it tloateG near the loaded steamer Dix,
when all on board the cutter gave them .
hearty salute.
