Grota and His Wife.

The wife of the historian Grote must have been an extraordinary wo- man. She rode without saddle, she was not afraid to put off in a boat without a man, and she was plucky enough to marry her lover without permission and return home without saying a word about it. Sydney Smith described this lady and her lord in his happy fashion, q do like them both so much, for he is ladylike, and she is a perfect gentleman"

 Place.

Gulfport. Miss. June 29.-(SpeciaL)- There will be no regatta for the South ern Gulf Coast Yachting Association on July unless some other coast town will consent to take Gulfport's date.
 This was the decision of the Gulfport Yacht Club which met this evening to discuss the possibility of holding re- gatta at so early a date after the to- tai destruction of the handsome club house by Sunday nights fire. It was found that an attempt to hold the big races off the pier under existing con- ditions would be unsatisfactory and even dangerous to the enormous crowd of spectators. so the event was called of and telegraphic message sent the New Orleans Club, whose fleet was to come out tonight.
 Gulfport yachtsmen are keenly dis appointed by these developments. es- pecially as this was to be the opening event of the season and the holiday re- gatta. The destruction of the several machines by the same fire has cut down this clubs racing fleet.
 The low excursion rate made for the occasion by the Gulf and Ship Island Railroad will not be recalled, In or der to avoid disappointing the many hundreds Of people who have already arranged to come here for the 4th of July holiday.
