take place on the 23d and oath OF the present
month. IL will not only be an important cireum-
stance in yachting sense, but It Is intended 10
make the occasion two days carnival, ana the
arrangements which are being made contemplate
a general participation In the festivities. The re-
gatta last year, although eminently successful IN
every sense, was cTamped for time, and it tas
therefore been wisely determined to give up two
days to it this season. on the frat
day. Friday, the Esd inst., the oceanic
prizes VIII be competed for. and on the
day following q grand eweepstake regatta
will be sailed, Tor which q nominal entrance fee
OF SIS will De charged, and the prize win 90 to the
nrst yacnt making the course. This last idea is
in part to meet an exigency growing out OF the
result OF last Jear's regatta and as an additional
inducement TO the larger yachts on the Atlantic
seaooard to come and participate. In last years.
