The 10Th of NOVEMBER.

The morning of the great national
holiday at last arrived, bringing with it
good stiff breeze and occasional
showers. All the business houses we're
closed and from appearances the re-
gatta had taken the place of every
thing else in the minds Of the people.
AT an early hour the Inter-I Island wharf
began to be occupied by interested
natives all dressed in their best, and
impatient for the lazy hands of Old
Time to indicate the hour of nine. By
eight o'clock the space fenced off for
spectators was crowded with eager and
excited men, who, with plenty Of jing-
ling coin, were backing up their mighty
opinions with that substantial article.
The betting was about even on the
senior race, the Kings crew being in
favor for the Junior races. 1t is esti-
mated that at least four thousand
dollars changed hands, outside Of the
reported six thousand that His Majesty
had wagered on the results Of the
Senior and Junior races.
The programme was very we'll carried
out, and reflected credit on the execu-
tive ability Of those in charge. The
irksome delays that are as rule form
a prominent feature on all occasions Of
this kind, were altogether avoided and
everybody, with the exception Of those
who bet on the wrong side, were well
pleased with the days sport, and will
always look forward with pleasant anti
cipations to the next birthday of His
Majesty The following gives the re-
