-. Those who pirate about the beauties o.
Circassia should have been at the regatta an6
weep for the loss of the Orientals laurels.
..One-half interest on past due coupons

-. The New Histrionics will play the beau.
tiful dramaef "Love's Sacrifice, at the Va.
rieties Theatre, on Monday, July 26, 1875.
Another large crowd of colored folks
left the city yesterday morning on the train
for Mobile.
From Mondays experience we are Of
the opinion that the judges should always fol-
low race boats in regatta.
III a man wants to see a genuine Dis
NAL Swamp, let him meander through the
corridors of our courthouse just about now
The Superior Criminal and the First
District Courts adjourned yesterday without
performing any business, out of respect to the
memory of the late Arthur Arroyo.
=. Inquiry developed the fact that the
young gentleman sitting on Canal street dry
goods box, rocking to and fro, belonged to
one OF the crews, and was too tired to go
home, and so kept up his stroke all night.
I'VE desire to return our thanks to that
gallant "sailleur" bold, Capt. Freeman and
his officers, Of the revenue cutter John /.
Dix, for many courtesies extended to the
BULLETIN corps during the regatta
The large hall in the Custom House is
about completed, and as soon as the glass sky
lights are completed the clerks will move in.
If one has any appreciation for architecture he
should visit this chaste chamber and enjoy its
esthetical beauties.
-. The joke that the Times gets off about
cha rteripg light draught tug to follow the
regatta is good. It is true there aoas consid-
cradle comment "upon the accuracy of the
Times's regatta report" too much, in fact;
but the sporting reporter Of that magma
charter-ing journal is able to stand it.
Ut was very evident from the appearance
of the city Tuesday morning that its people
were after their gala day at the regatta all
were very tired. 1t was evidenced by the
looks of each individual in the street car, by
the languid expression of the ladies, and by
the lack Of spirit on the part of the children.
Evidently no such a day of open air enjoy
ment has occurred since the great race be-
tween Lexington and Lecompte.
-. The Charleston delegation, who came to
participate in our Mondays regatta, have
been invited to go on the excursion to the
jetties on the steamboat iberia. which leaves
this morning. Should they go, it will be as
the guests Of the boat. Mr.. Bissel, who is at
the head Of the party, is large planter in
South Carolina, cultivating four thousand
acres of rice he will thus have chance of
seeing our largest and richest rice section.
=. For the first time during residence at
Milneburg Of over quarter Of century. our
friend Miguel, the justly famed restauranteur'
was eaten out of house and home" There
wasn't shot left in his locker-or to speak
less fguratively, not fish nor any other deli
cacy, left in his larder-and the kind-hearted
old gentleman seemed quite lost in contem-
plating the vast concourse of people who had
invaded the usually quiet little village. The
next regatta will not catch him mapping.
Some of our Creole darkeys make
something more than pin-money, by gather
ing mushrooms which grow in considerable
quantities in the old City Park. It is graft
fication to know that the park which has cost
the people many thousands of dollars is not
only an excellent cattle pasture, but that it
produces mushrooms, by the gathering of
which, the "man and brother may gain an
easy and comfortable livelihood. We felt
sure there was something about our park that
was to be admired, if one would look for it
patiently, and with the eyes of faith.
=. Ground was broken yesterday by the
Orleans Street, City Park and Lake Railroad
Company, at the corner of Canal and Basin
the section of the road between the City Park
and the lake being in forward state of COM
pletion. 1t will not be many weeks now be-
fore the new avenue of travel will make ex-
cursions to the lake more popular than ever,
and it would not surprise US to see Spanish
Fort the most attractive, and consequently
the most frequented point on the lake shore.
It is susceptible of very great improvement,
and the company do not intend to be niggard
in their expenditures to make it the popular
=. 1t is pleasure to commend any corpo-
ration, and especially railroad, for efforts to
please the public. Indifference and neglect
are so often experienced by travellers, that
any show Of disposition to be obliging is
certainly worthy of praise. We therefore
deem it duty we owe to the manager of the
Railroad, Mr.. G. H. Allen, and
bis able assistant, Theo. J. Dimitry, to extend
to them the thanks of the thousands who |
went to the regatta on Monday over the road.
Every car that was at all available was |
placed on the track and the trains were run
with commendable regularity. That no acct
dent occurred, with the cars swarming with
