After half & cozen regattas or so. the Chicazo Facht Ciub of the fotore will know & good deal more about the management of sailin matches ihan 48 permitied to its representatives of the present: There was, for instance, any quantity of good intention about yesterdsy's aquatic fete, but, Tex Trisoxe notes it with regret, s very disyroportionste amount of success rewarded the efforts of its promoters. Of course the wiciched weather had muoch to do with the ‘comparative failure of the affair. Nobody in s siate of complets saturation, S miles from land, can even pretend to take much mterest in the result of an irregnlar dnfting from one point to another of twelve various and dissimilar eaul-bosts. It was this impossible entbusiasm which onght to bave been displayed, if it could, yesterday afternoon, snd which not even the most ingenious sycophant could pro- vidé for tho ocesaion. THE GUESTS OF THE CLUB, if, indeed, there be such s concrete organiza- tion, were iovited to take passsge on the Ben Drake, = Iarge tug fitted ap for excursion purposes. A reporter of Toe Trisure was beguiled into testing her resources and can conscientiously swear that he never in his life shipped 80 much water between his neck =nd his shirt-collar 28 he managed to sccumu- Iate vestarday, thanks to the porous awning un- der which at least twenty-inoffensive people braved the horrors of a lake ran-storm. IT BAINED STEADILY for the first hour of the regsita. Buch a rain, rich and oily with gl:iur- g0 coal-smoke, is not culcnlited to_enbance the p.easure of & voyage upon Lake Aichigsn. Half-a-dozen ladies were on board, aud they bore the saturation heroicaliy. Like~1se a band, porgeously attired, made merry music 1 the most diemal periods of the storm, though the wing kept the lead td the first turniog point, & fiag-boat stationed 33¢ miles to the southeast, THE CAREY SAILED LIKE A WITCH, and. though she was the last to cross the lie, overhauled the rear yachts band-over-hand, tul the breeze slufted sud fell. The Zoe stooa over 100 far to leeward. and bots she and the Carey had to go acout and lay & new comse beforethey were ha.f way 10 the staheboat. It was aoy- body's race tothe latter p.int, the Fieetwing still maintaining ber lead, with tne Carey far vebiad, and the Zoe struggiing (0 repair the great leeway she made, Wiih no inducement whatever. THE “TAKEBOAT WAS ROUNDED in the fullowing order of time: i The Lincoin, 3 b. 3 m. 35 sec.; Fleetwing, 2 h. 54 m. 3 sec. ; Lucr, 8 b. 9m. 30 eec. ; Naiad, 3 h. 28 m, 25 cec.; Drew, 8 h. 26 m. & sec. Dawn, 8 b.26 m. 30 sec. ; Lulg, 8 Scandinavia, 8 b. 31 m. 58 sec.; 29 m. 20 sec. ; Zoe. 8 b. 17 m. 40 sec. i Toence to the Crib. the flotilia kept on_their way in the ssme order. The breeze freshoued and thus gave the Zoe a chance, which she wasted Do time in improving. The pile of masonry was crowded with epectators and deoseiy surrounded by tugs. As the yachis rounded it the toimer cheered, and the laiter shrieked with a degtening enthusiaam. ON THE HOME STRETCH the boats ran free, but the wind had fallen com- peeteiv. This was the time for pretty satling vut the boats could do no more than dnft. Noutning more tedious than their successive passages of the termnus of their 14 miles conld be maged. THE GOAL WAS REACHED s follows: The Lincoln, 5 b. 27 m. 55 sec, ; Fleetwing, 4 h. 41 m. 5usec. : Lucy, 5h. 0 m. 82 sec. ; Naad, 5h. 27 m. 10 see.; Driew, 4 b, 68 m. 25 wec.; Dawp, 5. 28 m. ; Anoie Louise Carey, 4h. 48 m 85 sec.; Lizzie, 5 b 21 m. 5 sec. ; Lulu, 4 h. 56 m. 50 sec. ; Scandinavia, 5 h. 27 m. ; Minervs, 5b. 32 m. ; Zoe, 4 b. 55 m. §5 sec. The regatta calminated in A DISPUTE TOUCHING THE TIME of several yachts, and the decigion was postponed unul a later occasion. The prize, however, lies between the Carev and the Fleetwing, the firss having made the run in 2. 33 m. 30 sec., aud tue second 1o 2 h. 83 m. 20 sec. Under more favorable ausjnces of wind snd weather the 1egatts would have been a success. As it was, 1t8 principal result was the complete drenching of everybody who officiated 24 & 8pec- tator.

NEw Orrgaxs, July 17.—~The fillawiug shows the rating of tne cresa and boata entered for the regatts ou Mounday 1n the pools sold to-pight : trombone spouted water like a brazen whale, sud the big drum yielded cavernons and holiow sounds. 1t was just the sort of day there ought tohave been no race,—rlenty of rain, bardly uny wind, 20d 2o universal sense of demued uuplessant ‘oisture all ronnd. The Judge's boat, our pluvious friend TEE BEN DRAKE, started from the foot of Ciark street at balf-past 1. After running numerous pleasing chances of collision with t scows and recklesa tugbosts, sbe found her way into the lake, up- o1 which she at onoce steamed an uneven match with the stake-boat, s small craft, staggering under the folds of on immense national flag.

Meaawnilo the Ben Drake lay alongside the pier and gave her passengers an opportanity o disembark on the bieakwater and comparo the Tacitities it afforded for getting wet with those of the judges' boat. It wae at this crisis that a tugboat, loaded down to the water's edge with politiciane of the People's Party, imported Iager-beer, sand- wicnes, sud 8 downriht cpidemic of foul 1sugusge, into the hitherto peacefu! neighbor- hood of the Drake.

S THE DEXTER PARK ARRIVALS, Dexter Park bas recently been elevated to a prominence in matters of the turf not at present possessed by aoy other locality in the country. The Eastera stables were depleted of the equine celebrities which they contained daring the wn- ter, some time ago. All of them bied to the Western meetings, which, in poiat of time, took pracedence of the Eastern aseocistious. After skirnushing throngh varions part of the Wes:iu pursnit of victory and prize money they have gathered here to participate in the great meet- 1og at Dexter Park, begioning July 20. The Dexter Park stables are consequently full of very distioguished guests. Perbaps at no other ‘period during its organization has it put on such a hively snd intereating appearance, and been the centre of so much siteation from noted tmifmen. It cootains the finest galaxy of trotuing and running talent ever assembled here, and 1n respact to the firat at least no other meeting bas called together & more promising number. Gold- smith Maid is here, which in itaelf is enongh to confer a high degroe of dignity. She is quiety champing her oats and hay in a stable whica has ocen somewhat pretentiously fitted up in ber nopor. She points forward her inquisitive oars when approached by the carious aod ao- miring vieitors, and gazes forth from ber intelligent oves wilh & look which scems to epeak s coneciousness of her wonderfual trotting feats and of her right to ap- bounded sdmirstion.

The drivers are busy exerciaing their horacs, driving them at s sharp trot fiom wire to wire, in which thev sometimes go alone or bave a friendly brush with each otber. or jogging them lemarely to bring their muscles into gentle action. During a pleasant morniug nearly all the trotters in the stable are ont, spiang rapidly or_merely jog- ging, both ways round the track. Tbeso matu- tinal exerciees are attended by s large number of devoteen of the turf, who are present to time horsos. look them over. sco their action, and get numeroos pointa to help their pool-box operations.

For the Chicano Tribune, A frightfal cage of moral depravity and ignor- ance came before the Criminal Court iu the City of Gratz, Austria, June 20, 1875. Augustine Weissenvach, aged 75 years, one of the poorest inhabitants of the Village of Sounleitberg, owned a miserable sbanty, worth about $75, the postession of which had for some time been the ardent desire of his son, which desire finally led the unnatural son to kil his father. Sinee 1874, Vioceuz Weissenbach had been mar- ried to Agnes Gaugl.—living with his wife in the old man'sehanty. Disputes and quarrels were a. common occurence, and the father complained of bad-treatmant, while tho son complained of bis facher's ill-temper. ‘The old man did ot intend to put his son in possession of the shanty during his lifetime; on the contrary, was frclined to sell it. According to the testimony of Vincenz and bis wife, the Supervisor of the viliage informed them of the intended eales in, the early patt of thie year. This so enraged the 8on that be told s wife, the same night, that he meant to straogle his father. The woman prevented him from executing his threat at that time, saying: “Wait till I am mad enouch ac him.” A few days after this. they quarreled about a missing tool. Tho quarrel was renewed next day,—the old man telling them that he was go- ing to sell the shanty. In tbe evening, the father went to bed in the front room,—the mar- ried couple occupying the rear part of the shan- ty. At about 11 o'clock the young man awoke his wife, telling her he could not stand it any longer,—that he was going to * choke™ him. In that nighc the old mon was murder- ed; but tho deed did not remain nndiscovered. Vinceoz and bis wife wore arrastod, and are uow under sentence of doath. The following are the details of this most borrible crime : After the trial of the saccused began, the Judge found it impossibie to - obtain fiom the man a etraighiforward stite- ment. The woman was asked why thev. killed the old man, to which she re- pled: * We—me and Vincenz—married a yoar ago, and went to live with the old man, and for a while got slong very well; bat, soon after, the old man began to busy himself with what did not concern bk m. Most of the trouble was caused by his hsthiug bimself to our stock of provisons. He should have used hus own flour and wmeat for bis meals. Ain't I right? Of couse I am. A few davs before we lilled the oid man, we had s violent quarrel about a little flour ; and, on the same day, the Village Super- wisor told us that the old man was going to sell the sbanty. My husband became furious. and it was then that we determined to murder theo'd man. We weot to bed as usnal. At midnight we stepped iuto his r50m (ia which the light burned allmighc). My husband seized his hands. while 1 threw & noose around his neck. He began Lo beg to be let live, but we told him it was of no usse to beg now,—ho must die. 1 then pulled at the rope. After uwhile I zrew tired sud mv busband relieved me, and I held the old man's bands while he kept choking bim.” Here the Judge ask how long this heartless torture lasted. “ Well, sbout twohours.
