The neat ite Brunette, the winner of the last race, with her smart new sails was the object of special interest, and her sailer, Capt. Brown, was a good dealofahero, The Cath- arine Coombs, second to the Brunette in that race, (coming in first but being awarded sec- ond place on account ot greater length,) had been entered for this race, but did not reach bere to-day in season to take part in {t, muck to the disappointment of her numerous ad- Mirers. She is down the river in the grain trade, but had been expected up in season for therace. The Philadelphia boat, stationed at the stern of the steamer Mariner, was much admured by good judges of naval achiteeture, smart contest The Phtindeiphians were clad in a smart costume of green jackets, buff pants and wiite From the predominant green of their generally designated as the Little Kate, from Baltimore, en- tered from «The Cottage” by Major Watt, had also its circle of adherents, as, in fact, had all the boats entered. The race was for schoon- ers, sloops and boats, thirty feet and under, and the veseels participating were required to be entered ats o'clock this morning, to afford time for classification and measurement. The usual allowance was givem for length. At the same time the rules goverming the regatta were read to the commanders of the yachts. Prior to the hour for the start the interest felt in the affair was shown by the number of persons arriving by street cars, private car- riages and other modes of conveyance. The biuffeast of 7th street was filled with specta- tors, 88 were also the hovse tops, wharves and masts of vessels. Additional brilliancy was given to the scence by the gay decorations of iiage strung up in the vicinity of Sheckels’ «Ferry Restaurant” and Watt’s + Cottage Restaurant.” The following boats were entered: Brunette, by the Branette Cub, 15 feet keel, sailed by R. Brown; Annie Davis, 90, entered by Captain {). Davis, and sailed by J. Byron; Greynound, entered by Dr. Rauterburg, 223, Captain Covington; Capitola, 25 feet, entered by G. W.

About 1135 o'clock the entrance fees were paid and the Pace 8, Messrs. J. H. Bird. R. H. Laskey, and B. W. Cox, read and explained the rules after which the choice of positions sweredrawn for. In the toss for positions the Graybound ;won the weather guage. The flying Gloud to leeward of her; the Annie Havis, Al Dayer, Augusta, Brunette, Little Kate, Capitola, Harrison and Lee all taking ineir positions respectively. At i2 o'clock the boats were placed in line at the stake boat, off the 7th street wharf, and yreity soon the green boat of the judges was seen moving out on a tour of inspection, pre- iiminary to the start. A Voice.—“Look out for small paddles on board the noats Another Voice.—“Yes, and look out for tin ! ‘That's the way the Brunette won ai You're blow- ing!” Voice No.2 —“Who's blowing? I tell ye it’s so! Eich Brunette man had a tin plate under his stirt, and when the wind lulled they reached over the side and pulled her along with their tin plate Some Brunetters. warmly resented this charge against their favorite,and a muss might have taken place but from the attention ofthe tants being drawn to the fresh prepara- s for the start. The judge’ boat returned othe wharf bearing four contraband oars taken from two of the outside boats, the Wa- ‘waset with its load of passengers made ready to cast off her lines, and at the same time Mr. John Boswell, the starter, took his place, musket in hand, to give the signal. All being in readiness, at half past 12 the signal musket was fired, and the boats were instantly put underweigh. * At about 12:30, the boats having made fast to the line stretched from the stake boats, the sig- nal was given by the firing of a musket trom the wharf and the boats dropped off, the Flying Cloud having the advantage of getting off first, but her rudder hanging she was kept back a little. The others dropped ont and soon the boats were well togetner, sailing down tbe river, some of them crowd- ing on all possible sail. The Al Dazer the Philadelphia boat, which is said to never have lost a race was the last to let go the line, but soon shot well into the fleet. She was sailed by Capt. Brown, with four men dressed in green shirts, and attracted mach atrention. The Kate, the brag Baltimore boat seemed to come in also for & share of attention, On and she was crammed full of sail. the way down the boats were wi with mvch interest the Wawaset, and bets, although but few were made before the race were freely made; the favorites being the Brunette, who won in the last regatta, and she Lee, of Alexandria. Below the Arsenal ‘whart the boats were in the following order: Brunette, Lee, Al Dazer. the Kate, Capitola, and Harrison, abreast of each other; Flying Cloud, Greyhound, Augusta, and Anna Davis. Im this position the boats re- mained until nearing Alexandria, when the breeze having freshed up considerably the boats were going quite swiftly. The Lee then (1.15) had gained considerably, and for a time was about a length ahead of the Brunette, but the latter being to the windward shot up handsomely, and abreastof Aiexan- Gria first one and then the other were a few inches ahead, sailing so close that for atime they seemed tobe bat one. The Philadelphia “boat was at this point closely pushing them, followed by the Kate (Baltimore). The Fiving Cloud was in taro pushing the Kate, and the Capitola and Grey- hound were neck to neck. The Wawaset leftthe wharf with quite a goodly number, who will accompany the regatta ana witness the rounding of the stake boat, off Fort Washington, and the Winni- simmitt left the wharf at three o’clock, with another large crowd, who will witness the aiter part of the race. The Philadelphians on the Wawacet seemed to be quite confident of their boat winning the race, and the Baltimore boat had many frien Dut the Washingtonians are very confiden: that the Brunetie, sailed by Capt, Ransell Brown, will be again victorion: ——— VISITORS FROM BALTIMOR: Last evening, 4 special committee of the Baltimore Councils, composed of Messrs.

Yesterday afternoon, about 5 o'clock, a ter- rible calamity occurred on tne Rockville turn- pike, by which the lives ot three young ladies Were lost, Atthat hour the Rockville stage: of which Mr. J.C. Howard is the propr.ecor, was on its way in from Rockville, being due here about 6 o'clock, but had,om account of the bad condition of the roads, been retarded somewhat, and approaching what is known as Bsll’s Branch, ordinarily a small stream, (about one and a half miles north of Tennally- town. and a mile south of Nailorsville,) found that it had been swelled to the dimensions of a river almost, in which there was & very current ranning. The driver, Mr. Geo. Ful- ton, was cantious about attempting to cross, but seeing @ two-horse ambulance, driven by isaac Williams, go over safely, he resolved to iollow. and accordingly the horses (three in number) were driven forward, but the current proved too strong, washing over the vehicle. in which were three ladies, Misses Mary Barrett, Bettie Brimmer and Miss Gray, aleo one gentleman, Mr. C. Kieter, of Rockvil The driver and Mr. Kiefer soon succeeded-in extricating themselves and reaching the shore, but the stage was borne rapidly down the stream, the ladies calling loudly for aid, but without avail. These gentlemen followed on down the stream, and in 4 short time a crowd of persons gathered about the banke and ren- dered ail the assistance possible. The coach ‘was completely submerged most of the time, and the three ladies in atempting to get out were drowned. Tne horses having broken away from the vehicle got out sately, with the exception of the lead Noree, which was badly injured and will probably die, and the stage was lodged against a tree. about three handrea yards down the stream. Mr. Kiefer, on one oi the horses, rode to this city and informed Mr. Howard, and others, of the terrible cal- amity, and the latter dispatched. team to the place. The search was continued for the bodies, anda driver, who returned about it o’clock last evening, brought in word that the bodies of the two first named Iadies had been Tecovered about half a mile below the pike. Toe clothing had been tornand entirely wash. ed from the bodies, and they were much bruised, Later in the night the body ef Miss Gray was also found, still farther down the stream. Miss Brimmer’s and Miss Gray’s bodies were brought into Georgetown last evening, and taken to their respective residences. and Miss Barrett’s was brought to this city and given over to her parents, who reside on G street, near Twelfth. These ladies, we believe, had all been ona visit to different parties about Rockville. They are highly esteemed by their friends and Acquaintances in the District, and their un- limely fate casts a gioom over the community. ‘The rain throughout nearly the whole of Montgomery country, yesterday and the night previoue, was heavier than almost anywhere else, and the destruction to the crops, bridges and fences is truly disheartening. The driver was swept down the stream about twoor three hundred yards before he could effect his escape. He is said to be sober and industrious. eae FOURTH QUARTERLY MBETING OF THE Granp Lopex I. 0. G. T.—The fourth quar. terly meeting of the Grand Lodge of the Ui der ot Good Templars of this District was held Wednesday eveniug at Union Hall. A very large number of ladies and gentlemen were present. The G. W. . T., L. E. Ross, presided. ‘The report of the Grand Secretary, Wm. G. Tomer, Esq., was presented and read. It shows the total number of members of the Ur- der in this District is 1,133. The number initi- ated since the last quarterly meting is 362. ‘The receipts of tue eleven lodges represented in the grand body $990.37. There were two de- gree lodges instelled during the past quarter— Eureka, No. 4,and Washingt No. 5. The Order 18 congratulated upon the establishment in this city of the Monitor newspaper, devoted to the advocacy of Temperance doctrines. The report closes with the earnest prayer that #1! the deliberations of the body may advance the holv cause of temp: ce. The Grand Lodge, b: vote. annulled the charter of Purity No. 12, which some- time since was suspended by the Grand Coun- cil because it was the intention of the charter members to admit, by initiation, colored per- sons as members. On motion, & committee of five was appoint- ed to inquire into the expediency of establish - ing lodges of Good Templars, to be composed of colored persons. It 1s understood that lodges will be established with a different paseword from the white lodges, a similar ar- rangement having been made with the Son: of Temperance. There was a great deal of di cussion on these questions, the Grand Lod being nearly equally divided in opinion on th subject —— Goop SAMARITANS AND DAUGHTERS oF Samaria.—The “Independent Order of Geod Samaritans and Daughters of Samaria” is the name of an organization of colored persons, the object of which is to advance the cause of temperance among their own race.

A statement of the earnings for the last quarter will be published in detail at an early day; but the accounts are already sufficiently balanced to show that the net amount is much greater than the gold interest on the bonds that can be issued on the length of road operated. It should be remembered that these earnings are only upon a way business in anew and undeveloped country, and are no index of the vast traffic that must follow the completion of the whole line to the Pacific in 1870. These facts are only intended to thow that these Bonds are strictly one of the safest, as well as one of the most profitable, securities, and are fully entitled to the confidence of the public. The Company make no appeal to the public to purchase its Bonds, as the daily subscriptions are large, and fully equal to their wants Many parties are taking advantage of the present high price of Government stocks to exchange for these bonds, which are over 15 per cent. cheaper, and, at the current rate of premium on gold, EXAMINATION.

Thus, he said, was an exceedingly interesting occasion to all who Rave the interest of society at heart, tne love of their country and their fellow-men. He argued that churches were a pec: niary blessing to all men and to a countries; that any man looking for a place, to-make his home, and haying an eye to his pecupiary interest. would look to the standing of the community, and make his home where are churches achools, where wisdom and krowledge abo Theyjwould not invest in property where there are nosuch advantages, nor in a desert piace; bat when Joozing upon a community which is prosper. ous peconiarily we find churches and school houses and a society where the best. works of salvation surround the virtues of our daugh- ters.and sons.

He concluded his remarks by saying that he hoped the blessings of God would rest upon the church and the congregation. Tne Kev. Dr. Howlett, of the Ualvary Baptist church, Washington, then offered up a fervent and earnest prayer, at the conclusion of which the Masons, with B. B. French, Esq., acting as Grand Master, in the absence of Mr. Wntung, proceeded to lay the corner stone, with the imposing ceremontes of the Masonic order. Mr. French used the same gravel as was used by Washington at the lay- Ing of the corner stone of the Uapitol of the United States. There were placed in the box that was deposited in the cavity of the corner stone, which was about ten inches square, a bistory of the charch from its organization to the present time, the name of the pastor, anda list of the members; the seal of the Grand Lodge of Masons of the District of Columbia; the name of the buil of the church; the newspapers of the day; asalso specimens of the fractional currency and coins of the coun- try. At the conclusion of the Masonic ceremo- nies a collection was taken up in aid ot the church, aud a considerable sum realized, after which Heald’s band playea some very appro- priate music. The benediction was then pre- nounced by the Rev. Dr. Bacon, of Virginia, and the assemblage dispersed. PASSENGERS PER STEAMER JoHN Ginsox.

The chief argument advanced at the meeting of the Councils last evening for ad- journment re December was that the treas- ury of the ration was getting low, and that if the two boards continued in session, making appropriations es they have done, the Corporation would soon be without funds.

THE CanaL—Nothing is doing at the canal to-day ; there are no coal boats in to unload, and the hands employed by the coal companies to unload boats were this morning ba-king in the sun, with nothing to do.

The funeral of the de- ceased will take place from Grace Church on High street, below the canal, at5 o’clock this evening. It is stated that the driver of the stage, Mr. Geo.
