Commodore Elbridge T. Gerry's handsome
steam-yacht Electra left the pier at the foot
Of West Twenty third street early this morn
ing with a select party of yachtsmen and
newspaper men on board and steamed down
the river with colors a-fying.
She was bound for Sandy Hook. where her
owner was to take O prominent part in the
annual fall regatta of the New York Yacht
Club. which is being sailed TO-DAY for the
first time over the - outside " course.
For this reason, as we'll as the fact that the
relative merit and sailing qualities of some Of
the fastest skimmers in these waters are to be
tested for the first time, particular interest
centres In the event among yachting enthu-
siasts, and q day of fine sport is anticipated.
The big fleet of excursion steamers, steam
yachts, sailing vessels and tugs to accom-
pany the racers around the course also left
the city early this morning with loads of pas
sengers, and it was estimated that the spec
tators of the contest would number at least
three thousand. Several of the yachts an
chored at Bay Ridge went down last night to
Sandy Hook, with parties of jolly yachts
men aboard, 30 as to be on hand early this
morning and in readiness for the race, which
was started at II. 80 o'clock.
1t was O matter of mmen that so few
yachts had entered for the contest the mum

of the crack yachts of the club, this fact did
not interfere with the prospect of good sport.

LIBBY PRISON TO GO WEST.
rHE FAMOUS STRUCTURE TO BE RI
MOVED TO CHICAGO.

A recent Chicago telegram says ::
"a new departure in the line of relic
worship has been taken IN this city.
The preliminary steps for the forma.
ton of u corporation, whose object is
the purchase and removal to this city
of the famous Libby prison of Rich
mond, Va, were taken here yester.
day. The gentlemen who figure rs
: the commissioners and who are in
strumental in organizing and devel-
oping the scheme are: Messrs. VIM.
81. Gray, Josiah Crafty, John A.
Crawford and Charles X. Miller, all
Chicago men. The company will
have capital of $1,000 and it is
understood that all the stock has al
ready been applied for. The history
of the enterprise is best told in the
words of Mr.. Gray, to whom is due
the credit for it's inception: Last
November, said he, when I was
travelling through Eastern Virginia
with Judge Moore, of Toledo, we
met on the road to Old Point Com.
fort and Richmond Colonel Barnes, a
former officer in the Confederate
army. In the course of converse

ence was made to old Libby prison,
and it occurred to me that it would
be q good idea to purchase the build
ing and transport it to Chicago.
took Colonel Barnes into my conf
dence and asked him 10 ascertain il
the property could be purchased.
Shortly after my returnI received q
letter from Rawlings & Rose, real
estate dealers in Richmond, stating
that the old prison was now the
property of the Southern Fertilizing
Company and that it could be pur
chased for $4,000. At my request
MIR. John A. Crawford, the general
superintendent of the Chicago Tow
ing Company, went to Richmond,
and looked over the ground. and In
yestigated the possibility of moving
the building. He returned full of
enthusiasm for the enterprise. Some
further correspondence with the real
estate firm mentioned resulted in
their obtaining for me an option for
thirty days on the property. have
consulted with the architects, and
they inform me that it can be taken
down, removed to this city, and re:
built just as it now stands. We
that is, the company--propose to
number every brick, stone and
shingle. The building will be taken
down in sections; the material will
be boxed up and transported to
Chicago by rail. We will carefully
draw every nail that has not rusted
away; we will bring up the, mortar,
