ALMOST A SENAToR.-A Middletown
gentleman played rather sharp game
at the Centennial opening on Wednes-
day. BY some means he secured posi-
tion within the limits of the portion of
the " platform" allotted to the members
of the United States Senate, and being
questioned rs to his right to be there,
stated that though he was not exactly a
Senator he once came within fourtee a
votes of being elected TO that position, .
and thought that ought to entitle him to
seat with his more successful compcti
tors. The guard evidently thought SO
too, IS he walked of and let him alone,
and the said almost Senator enjoyed the
opening to his full Observation-Disclosures.

THE CENTENNIAL SERVICES.

THE CENTENNIAL SERVICES. -
Thanksgiving services were held in
the Trinity Episcopal. Methodist Epis-
copal and Congregational churches on
the Fourth. In the Episcopal church
q special centennial service was read
according tn form prepared for the
occasion by \ conference Of the bishops
Of tho church. The Tc Deum" and
hymn "Amsrica." ~ found in the
Hymnal. were sung by the congrega-
ton. Mr.. Atwood in the NJ f. church
read the 33th Psaln. which. as he
announced, was the first scripture read
in the Congress Of the United States !;
prefscing il with an extract recountiug
The national circum stances attending
it, reading which showed its thrilling
appropriateness on that OCCASION. We
regret that We have not srsce TO print
some extended notes we had prepared
Of the patriotic and eloquent exhorta-
tioos pertinent to the day that were
snsds ia these churches by tho respec-
tive pastors.

THE REGATrA.-Every body and their
friends assembled Of the YesIsF. Crsw-
ford & Harrington. and NeCallister and
McCarty whsrves. and on the shipping
ard steamers adIacsnt. q. ~ O'Clock ou
Tassdav to witness the Centennial re-
gasia. Fifteen crafts were entered. as
follows: Thrse sioops # the hrs, class,
seven sloops Of IN. second class. sn'i
FIVE whitehall boats The Banshse,
whitehall. also joined 10 the race. but
was not entered for prsze. The ooais
were arranged in order Of size. the lArs-
o., taking the lcsward Tosisi0n. The
whitshsils were the first 10 start, the
sscood-class sloops next. aud the first
class last. Unfortunately for the at
trsctivenees snd spirit OF the race tbs
wind was sxceedingly light and taifiing.
which on account Of the length Of the
course rsndered it somewhat tesiious.
For the first and second class craft, the
course was from the buoy oil Crawford
Il Hsrrington's wharf TO second buoy
oH Preeposs, aud thence sroopd buoys
in Eagle Harbor and III Five-mile
rouk. and back to the starting
point. For the third -class boats the
course was the same except the ornis'
sion Of rounding the Eagle I.rbor
buoy. The result was surpris 10
many. though with q reliable sailing
breeze, the race might have turned out
differently. We have heard rumors. too.
TO the effect that the boat TO which the
public expectation ~as chiefly directed
was found TO have been clandestisely
handicapped in . peculiar fashion.
which prevented her from winning the
race. The first prize (&ioo) in the first
class. was won by tho II. l.. T.bbals.
the second tt30.) by the Minnie. In
the second-class. the first prize Vas Won
by the Harvest Home, the second by
the Albatross. In the third class, the
fret prize WAS taken by the Charles
XII, and the second by the Centennial.

STocK SpECULAToE.-There is food
for reflection in the fact that almost
every man who mas risen TO emineDee
as a speeuIator in Wall street during
the past twenty years has fallen much
more rapidly than be rose Wander
bilt never was a speculator IN the
strict Wall street sense. His policy
all along was to buy only those stocks
which he knew to be valuable, and
never TO buy on margin. When be
brought stocks he paid for them IN
full, and then locked them up iE his
sale. But the general rule IS to sell
short or 90 long on a margin, and
many a man has it brought to griei.
Among the mOnarchs Of the market
who preceled Drew or were his con-
lemporaries, one of the first was
Henry Keep. who made large Tor
tune iu q short lime, lost the greater
part of i. in less, and then withdrew
from Wall street, to die in compare
tive obscurily a few years later.
