The Enquirer's Private Regatta.

CINCINNATI, Sept. 1.-THE regatta for a
purse of 81 ,000 offered by the Enquirer COM
pany, divided into four prizes for single
shells over a course of three miles, in the
Ohio river, took place this afternoon. There
were eleven entries, divided into two classes,
the first class to row over the course, and
then the second class; then the best three of
these two classes were to row the third heat.
The sickness of Briceland delayed the start
more than an hour. The water was in good
condition, and the banks crowded with spec
tators. Judge n. Longworth and E. H. Muir
ply were the judges, and E. B. Ellard ref
cree. Hosmer came in first in the first heat,
Priddy second, Briceland third. Weber,
Plaisted and Weisgarber were out Hos
mer's time, 22:10; Priddy, 22:1S;
Briceland, 22:42. In the next
class Reiz came in first, in
22:27, Lee second in 22:27L, and Layberg-
er third in 22:27%. Knoke and Riley were
declared out. The third class came in thus:
Hosmer first in %, Lee second in 22;10, Lay
berger third, time not taken, Priddy fourth.
The prizes were awarded to these four in the
order named. Hanlan rowed an exhibition
heat over the same course. His time was
20:47%. When it is remembered that the
first half was up stream against the current,
this makes good time. His exhibition was
greeted with cheers along the entire course.

afloat here to-day, one or two of which
found their way into print, regarding the
billiard players, Jacob Schaefer, the worlds

with George Slosson, who is here, and says
he wants to play Schaefer for the champion

was disposed Of the same day. Unless the
broker or dealer wishes to sell his purchase at
once, the fruit is put away and ripened by
steam heat Our business has entirely changed
since the introduction Of steamers. The voy.
age by the old sailing fruiters were long and
uncertain. A cargo Of decaYed lemons was
the frequent result OF voyage OF several
months Now, with rapid transportation at
his command, the shipper can allow his
lemons to remain on the trees many weeks
longer than he could then, and is quite certain
thai on arriving at this market the fruit will be
in good condition. The best, and conse-
auently the highest, case lemons come from
Sorrento. Great care is bestowed upon their
cultivation. The fruit is long and smooth and
has beautiful golden color. These lemons
are considered a luxury in Paris, where they
are used not only by confectioners and bakers,
but also by decorators. Generally speaking,
medium.sized, thick-skinned lemon is the
best. The large, grained variety are
the poorest and cheapest. The United States
consumes more lemons in year than all the
other countries combined. Russia comes
next. The custom the Russians have OF drink
ing their tea with a slice Of lemon in It ac-
counts for the large consumption there. The
growth OF the lemon trade in this country
during tine last 20 years has been enormous.
In 1880, no. ooo boxes were imported. Last
wear this number had increased to I,342,ooo
boxes. The summer is our best season.
There is one more fact about the lemon and
general fruit trade that is worthy OF notice.
The people in the far West will not buy any
but the choicest fruits. II makes no differ
ence what the prices are, they will buy IT,
