tette gave a concert at Hancock hall
last Thursday evening. The audience
was not large but what it lacked in num-
bers it atoned for by appreciation shown.

tenor; A. NJ. Mattocks, second tenor
w. b. Mattocks, baritone; Joseph G..
Chase basso The selections were we'll
chosen and without exception we'll rem

A despatch from Vineyard Haven says
the schooner civilian Pickering," Capt
Hammond of Ellsworth for Rondout with
slaves and headings, encountered a
violent southerly gale on Nantucket
shoals Sunday morning, and was com
PEELED to anchor. Soon after anchoring,
she commenced dragging into the
breakers, and to prevent being stranded
was compelled to employ the assistance
of steamer "H. F. Dimock," which
answered her distress signals and toWed

number of his party came up the river
in naphtha launch. The "Atalanta" an
chored off Shady Nook Wednesday night.
In the Gould party We're Mr. and Mrs.
Gould and four children, and Miss Turn
bull, cousin of Mrs. Gould. There are
on board the yacht number of BICYCLES to
which the Gould children are devoted
Often when the yacht is at anchor, they
may be seen riding about the spacious up
per deck. The "Atalanta' is one OF the
largest in the world. She is of $50 ton reg
lister. She is finished in manner which
betokens the wealth of the owner. The ap-
polntn4ents throug bout are complete and
elegant. The dining room is finished in
carved quartered oak. Interesting tro-
phies on e"Ataanta" are the many cups
won by the "Nigilant" in the interna
tional contests for the "America's" cup.
Mr.. Gould is now commodore of the At
