The regatta at Excelsior last evening dis
appointed everybody that had anything to
do with it. Contrary to the proposed
arrangement to start at z, the boats did
not get away until nearly O'Clock, when
there was almost a calm on the water. A
sham battle was announced to take
place at the close of the regatta,
but the managers being on the
yachts, which up to 9 O'clock had not
returned, this also had 10 be delayed. The
people, who had gathered in large crowds,
were disguised. and the Excelsior band
could not amuse them. Only the Idlewild
and Modesty came in. and soon after, when
it was found that the others would not be
in much before 10 o'clock, the sham battle
was postponed to Thursday evening. The
entries for the regatta were the Wave, Rae
