the first prize. but we had to be satisfied
with the second prize"
The veteran Capt. s. A. BrockintOn Of
the Telegram was next called TO the front,
and Mr.. Saussy said: Capt. Brockinton,
electricity did not come to the front this
time: the Telegram was delayed and did
not come in on the home stretch In time to
carry off the first prize, but she made 1t in
time TO win the third prize,
and from the hand Of fair woman |
present you the third prize. Brunswick
pilot boats carried off the first and third
prizes this time. The Tybee pennant did
not reach Savannah this morning. but we
have telegraphed for it, and as soon as 1t is
received it will be forwarded to the Oracle.
May it float long until the winds Of heaven
have frayed it"
CAPT. BROCKINTON's THANKS.
To calls for Capt. Brockinton, the old
veteran responded with an excuse that he
was no orator He said he is a great deal
like Capt. Wright in that respect. Dan
can Wright" said Capt. Brockinton, can
not make speech, aud no wonder, for
when be was boy he quit school and
went sailing with me as my appren-
tice boy. We feel very thankful to
the people of Savannah for their courtesy.
and on behalf Of the Brunswick pilots
want TO thank the Savannah and Atlantic
railroad for the kindness Of its officials, aud
to the Savannah pilots and regatta COM
mittee, aud il you will only give US the
pleasure Of these annual regattas we will
come 70 Savannah every year. All we
want is good breeze, aud we Will keep the
pennant in Georgia"
Capt Brockinton's apt little speech was
heartily cheered. Three cheers were given
the Neca, the band struck uD Dixie, and
amid wild cheers over Savannah's favorite
boat and musical air the second annual
interstate Ty bee regatta auspiciousiy ended.
TyDee was gay with bunting, and there
were five times as many visitors to tue
island yesterday as on the occasion Of the
first annual regatta, and the exciting race
was witnessed from the hotels and beach. As
there was some confusion among the specta-
tors on the beach as TO which boats were
the winners, some walked all the way from
tine Ocean house to the wharves at the north
end, where the Cynthia was moored, to
learn which boats had won.
There were no unpleasant episodes in the
start, and the regatta committee deserve
and received great credit for the success
which characterized yesterdays race.
