the handsome "Thaiiau Cup" which Is now on
exhibition in Barlow's window. The prcsen-
tation will take place at the Opera House, be-
tween the plays. Professor L. d. Hay will
also give reading during the evening. The
citizens Of Norfolk are cvincing q due appre-
citation Of the occasion, and arc making ar
rangements to receive the Thslans In truly
becoming manner. The best feature of this
excursion Is the limitations placed on the sale
of tickets, by which q thoroughly select party
will be secured and comfortable accommO Oda-
tions guaranteed TO ell who participate
There will be no crowding Whatever, and
very many Of our best people who could not
be induced under ordinary circumstances TO
attend an affair of this nature are going.
The club have not projected the excursion
for the purpose of making money, and the
members expect by the sale of tickets simply
to clear expenses. The "rhaliau Cup" which
Is to be presented to the winning crew at the
regatta, Is II very handsome piece Of workman
ship. The carved work represents crossed oars
aud tackle, and on the pedestal arc four fig
ures Of oarsmcn, in nautical costume, In re.
cining posture. On Que side ia engraved the
words "Thalian Cup, presented by the Thalian

On the opposite side space Is left to be filled
with names of the winning crew and the time

At the session Of the stockholders Of the

tho faction fivoring the restoration Of the
former relations with the Potomac Steamboat

tiOnS according to their true intent aud meaning.
At a meeting of the Virginia stockholders
and State proxies held immediately after the
above minority manifesto was adopted, pro-
testing against what they termed an illegal
and unjust subordination Of the property and
interests Of the railroad company to the profit
Of the Potomac Steamboat Company, and u
committee was appointed to cooperate with
tho State in any legal proceedings that tho
Board of Public Works may inaugumtc for the
protection Of the interests of the State aud the
Virginia stock khOlicrs.
II appears from the statements of the Vir.
ginaus that few gentlemen connected with
the Potomac Steamboat Company have nc.
quired control of a majority Of the stock Of the
railroad company, and thereby captured it en.
tircly, utterly ignoring the claims Of the State.

There was no formal celebration Of the Fourth

morning, noon, and night by Major Hanne-

cred In the day aud tolled for It's death, and
flags were flying patriotically from all the
public buildings. Scores of excursion parties
left the city by river and rail, taking thou
sands Of people from the city. During the
middle OF the day, when the sun was hot. the
streets appeared like those Of deserted city.
Notwithstanding the order of the Supcrintcnd-
cnt Of Police, there was q continual cracking
and banging Of firearms and flre-crackers
from early morning until late at night. After
sunset the heavens were lighted up with rock
cts and candles, and the display appeared TO

for many years past. The streets were very
livsly at night, and the police were kept busy
taking care Of those who had too much cele-
bration. There were very few accidents of any
kind and the day oan be regarded as very
