After our report closed yesterday, when the ten boats engaged in the regatta were passing Alexandria, the race was very exciting. The ‘Wawaset, on leaving Alexandria, steamed @ short distance below the turning point, off Fort Washingtom, where she remained to give the spectators a view of the regatta turning the stake-boat. Off Broad Creek the boats were in the foliowing order: Lee, Branette, Flying Cloud, Al Dagel, Harrison, Little Kate, Gapi- to'a, Augusta, Greyhound and Annie Davis. Atthia time the friends of the Alexandria boat (Lee) were jubilant, and quite a number of beis were made by them with the friends ofthe Brunette. The breeze trom this point to the Fort was blowing fresh, and the scene became quite animated, the Lee dashing ahead and rounding the stake-boat at 2.17, followed oy the gallant little Brunette in three-quar- Xersof aminute. The Flying Cloud and Al Dagel approached the stale boat. as they say Face course, “neck and neck,” and it in 2.20. ‘The excitement here was very intense, and the manner in which the boats were handled brought forth the plaudits of the spectators. In 1 minutes the Harrison made the tura, and at223 the Little Kate (Baltimore boat). The Capitola and Greyhound turned together in 2:29, the Augusta in 2:32, and Annie Davis 2:38. The wind being from the northeast, the boats were obliged to work up by short tacks, And on the home stretch the sailing qualities ‘of the veseels were not only displayed, but the seam: of the men handling them was bil ed. ‘The Philadelphia boat “was a close iler, and being well handled she was soon ahead of the ten others, and when she passed the King street whart at Alexandria was fully a mile ahead of theBrunetie. About this time there was almost a dead calm, and but little headway was made. As the Al Dagel wasdis- cerned from the wharvesat the foot of Seventh street, there was considerable excitement, and in a short time the piers and banks were crowded with spectators, who rent the air with cheers as she rounded the stake boat off Seventh street at 7:28. The Brunette and Harrison were fully two bours bebind the Al Dazel, not arriving until )41and the Katie a few minutes past ten. The Harrison passed the stake boat about nalt a lepgth ahead of the Brunette, but the Katie's crew and others claimed that untair means were used, charging that the Brunette used oars and the Harrison along pole. The Lee | atGlesboro Point gave up the race and re- turned to Alexandria. The other boats con- | tinued to arrive at intervals of halfan hour during the night. The Judges, Messrs. La3- sey, Bird and Cox decided the Al Dazel to be enUtled to the first prize of $50, but on account of the charges above referred did not decide as to the other prizes of $30 and $20, bat will will probably give a decision to-day. The Winnissimmitt ook down quitea load of passengers at 3 o’clock to witness the regatta, who enjoyed the latter part of the sport. There can be no charge made that the Ferry Compa- ny. of which Capt. Coli is Superintendent, | did not do everything in their power to afford the public a fine view of the regatta. C.p- ains Stackpole and Sidney, Messrs. George, Sheckelis, W. E. Stewart, and other members of the Brunett Club did everything im their power to make the regatta a successful one and in this it will be acknowledged by all they suc- ceeded. There was quite a crowd gathered sbout the wharfs until alate hour, and there ‘was considerable noise and hubbub, but no fighting, and indeed the whole pariy were quite orderly daring the entire dav. We should not forget to mention that after the Meeting of the Jndges last evening, they with the members of the Brunetie Club and a num- ‘ber of others, were invited by Major Watt, of the “Oottage,” to a fine collation, which was enjoyed with a keen appetite. The winning boat Al Dagel—which was built origmaily for ihe late Wm. J. McDonald of Baltimore, and purchased from his estate by Philadelphians—has now. we hear, come in possession of a Washingtonian, Mr. W. E. cnart. who entered it in the race. ee TuEVENntnes Estare.—The heirs of the great Jenuings estate in England, estimated at =54,000,000 value, residing ia this vicinity are again taking measures to secure their respec- tive shares, and on Wednesday and Thursday isst a number of them met at the office of Mr. Thos. J. Durant, in this city, to devise some course of action. Among those present, were, Mr. Fieldern R. Dorsett, a well Known and one of the oldest residents of this city.now a justice of the peace: Major James McRae, also a well known revi- dent of Washing! Mrs. Sis and her son, old residents of Georgetowa, and Mr. S. Lyles, formerly a well-to-do planter of Prince George’s County, residing near Fort Washing- ton Hon. A. D. Hager, the Vermont Commissioner to the Paris Exposition, who has been investi- gating the prospects of American heirs to this and certain other large estates in England does not make a very encouraging report. H- ‘writes home as follows: A shert time before ieaving Vermon: I attended a meeting of the «: Wilson family,” as it was called, at Essex Junction. From representations then and there made, 1 was inclined to believe that real estate ef much yalne might be obtained by the Wil sons of America, heirs of one “ Robert Wilson Earlot Warwick,” who, many years since. died in England. leaving 4 large property. “From inquiries which 1 made when I tanded, 1 am satisfied that there is not the leas possible chance for any Wilson in America to ever get an acre of land ora dollar in money from this source, nor will the « Jennings feirs” be more fortuxate than the Wilsons. I do not propose to enter into a discussion of the question, but give it as my opinion that every one who has paid a dollar for « scrip,” or for estization of these‘ claims,” had better charge it immediately to “profit and loss,” and make no more investments in these worth- less schemes.” —_—~ ORPHANS’ COURT, Judge Purcell.—The wil of the late Elizabeth Thompson was filed for probate and partially proven. She leaves her uousebold furnitare. goods and chattels to her granddaughter, Dorcas Netter, and the bal- ance of the estate to her friend Benj.

The aid received from the B, 8. Government in constructing this portion of 425 miles is— 1.

The Company is also re- strained by its charter from issuing its bonds ex- cept as the work progresses, and to the same amount on the various sections as are issued hy the Government.

It should be remembered that these earnings are only upon a way business in anew and undeveloped country, andare 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 show 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, sso OVER NINE PER CENT.
