The REGATrA.-One of the most
interesting portions Of the celebra-
ton of yesterday was the grand re-
gatta, which came off at 10 o'clock
precisely. Fifteen boats were en-
tered, as follows:
First class sloops Minnie, Han
son, 90 feet inches keel: H. l.. Tib-
balls, Guthrie. 2s feet; Sappho, Spar
ling, 25 feet 10 inches.
Second class sloops Harvest
Home, Matson, 90 feet 5 inches;
lone. Sparkling, 9 feet 2 inches; Alba
tross, Budlong. 10 feet; Lone Star,
Is feet 10 inches; Hautha Ross, 1S
feet; Jolly Times, Diggs, Il feet 9
inches: Marmion, Jordan. Ii feet 9
inches.
Whitehall boats--Lillie Bell,
Hanford, II feet: Centennial. Bud
long, 16 feet Q inches; Isabel,
z lines, IA feet & inches; Charles
MI, Antoine, IA feet l inch; Flirt
Young. II feet. The Banshee, of
this class. also participated in the
race, but applied too late to be en-
tered.
The course for The first and second
class yachts was from the finish buoy
off Crawford x Harrington's wharf,
to buoy off Freport Point. Thence
to a buoy in Eagle Harbor, round a
buoy at Five-mile rock and return.
For third-class boats, the buoy at
Eagle Harbor was omitted from the
course. Captains Winsor, Jackson
and Penfeld otficiated as judges.
rhe boats were, about 10 o'clock,
placed in position near the starting
buoy. the largest one taking the lee
ward position, and the 9th er boats in
order of size. At 10 o'clock they
were started, the wind being from
the northwest and very light. The
Sappho took the windward position
and laid her course directly for the
F'reeport buoy, the others heading
more up towards the mouth of the
river. The wind was remarkably
light, and the race was consequently
of the most dispiriting order, being
from the start but little more than a
drift. The Lille Bell was the first
to go about and started on long
tack, which brought her opposite
Bell Town, expecting to make the
Freeport bouy on the next tack, but
becoming becalmed lay there for an
hour or so and became virtually out
of the race. The others stood over
towards the Freeport shore, with the
exception of the Isabel, which be-
came disguised and drew out before
rounding the first bouy, The Tib-
balls was the first to round, followed
by the others. the Sappho bringing
up the rear. From that time for
ward the race was but little more
than a drift, there being scarcely
wind enough to fill the sails, until
after rounding the buoy in Eagle har-
bor. where for time brisk breeze
was had. By the time the Sappho
reached Eagle harbar the Tibbals
he'd rounded the bouy off Five-mile
rocks and was off on erhome stretch
