In additton ts the club beats, over a hundred yachts of all kinds and al sizes were underway—t' cir white canvass glisten | ing in the sun 4s their sharp b- we dasbed aside the waves—the little Fire Fly went sputtering about—- the steamboat glided majestically out towards the sea, and the interest was heighteved hy the merry eengs and jocund laughter of the gayly dressed parties which were to be seen on bosrd all the boats, Such en array of bewntiful models, sharp | bows, raking masts avd wiite canvass never was seen in Newport harbor before.

Tho Julia Measures 79 tons, and the Maria 116. This is, pro- tably, “pure elander;” bat there is no doubt that Mr. Stevens wanted the cup, aad that he had the lack to get it. ‘ ‘The next point that attra-ts our attention is the follewing sentence :—‘The entrance money will ‘be paid to the second boat in the race; but so far sas this money is con erned the yachts of the Nov York Club will not be placed.” ‘That is, members of the club weuld not compete for the mio- wey, bot it was to be paid to the fastest boat entered outside of the club.

Nearly all the boats in the sqnadron are inclaied in this iit, aud as this is the height of the New- pmt season, it was expected that the attendance at the regatta would be very large. TNE SOUNNBY TO SUWPORT—MORNING BEFORE THE The Hexanp correspoadeat left New York on ‘Wednesdey afternoon at five o'clock, along with ee veral hundred other unfortavate indfvidaals—many ‘more tan could be.decently accommodated, on the toat. There were no state rooms, no berths, ani only 4 m'cerable imitation of sper. Some hundred parce: ge s slept: mpon matt:¢eses epread upon the cable flor, and were continually distarbed by the wanéer't ¢ of peripatetic colored persons, whose boots firynently approximated to the slamberers’ noses. The dea of comfort on this boat seeas to have heon entirely exploded. Rewctlig Newport. at three o'clock, it was aseée- tained thet there were no rooms to be had at any -of the hetcls—that pleasarescekers had been sleepitg {» kitchens, hanging up on pegs, repesing on dining ‘ables, and otherwise making “the beet -of things” for the week previous. So the nnforta- rote persergera growled, lounged, smoked, drank, and slept ia chairs until brakfast time, thankful that tere was still something to eat. After breakfast, the great inquiry was, how shall we grt w the race? Nobody kuew anything about it; bot, efter a great deal of diffivalty, s handbill was @iecovered, which announced tiat tho steamboat Black-tone would, in consi:erdtion of tho sum of one dotiat,convey the great public to the scene of the gieat race. It was alao aanounced by the com- mittee, that they would patronize the Blackstone on this occasion. She was to leave Commercial wharf at ten v' lock, and a rush was made to that place part of the morn- ing tle eky had been overclouded; but at teno’clock the sun barst forth in the most brilliant sty.e,thoagh cot particularly comfortable for the crowd on the in consequence, During the early hot and dusty wharf, They waited, perspired, and grumbled, nnttl half past ten—no sign of the boat -o of the committee, although a wagon with s qnantity of stores had arrived. Piaally, at fifteen hove (a Piloutes to cleven, the Biarkstone ward the sea you might de-cry Castle Point, already covered with an ex ectant cro+d; ‘ar out to sea, the vision was sa uted w th handrds of crafts of a'l kinds; while in the rear tbe v llage se:med more quiet than ever, by contrast with the bustle in the harbor. The yacht race dwindled down to a very sma'l affair when comrared wth the outa'de excitement. Tbe club men did thelr bost to enjoy the day excta, sively, but the people had ev dently determined that they would part cipate in the festive scencs; and they did, “ with a looseness.” In the :mner harbor there was a northerly breeze. BETTING, ETC.—THE JULIA. To people “ po-ted up” in yachting mat- ters, this race was one of considerable ‘interest, and there was some money in out side bets pending on the result. It is very well known that the Marfa (J. C. Stevens) has been the fastest as well as the largest boat in the squad- ron; and when sho entered for a cup it was almost tantamount to a decision of the race before it was made, But since last season a new and dangerous competitor bad arison from the stocks of Gexrge Steers, in the shape of the Jatia, a sloop mach re- sembling the Maria in reef, although differing in model, and not equal to her in measurement. Great things were expected of the Julia; and these expro- tations were pot destined to be disappointed; for, although she did not win the cup, yot she was only eaten nine minutes, which is pretty close work in a forty mile race. ‘The popular feeling was all ia favor of the Julia, as itis stated'that her ownor (J. M. Waterbury, Esq.) does not believe in the exclusive policy, which ia an unpopular fevture in the management of ite club. The betting was two to one in Maria’a favor. For the second place, the odds in betting were in favor of the Gertrnde. BRACK—THE EXCURSION ON THR BLACKSTONE. The juagea took up their position Inthe [ire Fly, lying off Fort Adams, st 10 o'clock. These geut!e- men—J. Prescott Hall, Colouel Morris, and Doctor Jay—gave the signal for'starting eoon af wards, and at fifteen minutes pret 10 the Gertrude, the first yacht under way, shot past the stuke boat, ard stood out to sea with a fair wind. The Miia, America, Jolia, Mystery, PUen, Jane, Ieeae, Huze, Cornelis, Una, and Spray followed in the order aa we bave mentioned their names. As the yachtsran off before the east north east breeze, they presented A most beaatifal appearance. Tho Miria and Julia soon took the lead; but, just after they had passed ‘Castle Point, the breeze began to dic away, aad it was feared that the race i hed commenced 80 Inilliantty, woold be a fuilare after ail, But as the ya hts got further seaward, the b ecze freshened aud hauled ESE, 40 that it was fair for them to lay their course for the stxke boat, which was moor- ed twenty-one miles from Fort Adams, off the north point of Block Island. Afier this hoor (12 o’elock) there was a good stout cight knot breeze, and the yachts getting it abeau howled stesiilysloug. The jachts were accompanied by many other boats, and among trese thepllot boat“ 21," the yachts Star light and Eclipse distinguished toemselves by the lightness of their heels. George Sivora accompant- ed the Julla, but did . The scene on boa-ti the Blackstone uow be san to be interesting. There was a very heavy well, and we bad many passengers, male and female, who nautical experience bad been very lnitod. Daring. the early p:stof our voyage the brscing atmosphere, the smooth wato: and their harried movements, (in some cases superseding breakfast) indaced them to eat heartily of salt ham, sponge cakes, berry ples and other edib'es of the same sort, facetionsly called on board of steamboats and at railway sta tions “refreshments.” Now, when we got outside, the sea was rather rough, snd the Black stone not being very “stiff,” rolled, pitched, and plonged, and ehrieked in a most exten ordinary manner. This conduct on the part of the boat caused considerablo commotion in the Interior arrangements of maay of the pawen gers—the ro‘reahment tables were quick'y deserted --the promenade deck was s!mos' desolate of Deauty, and the ladies’ saloon was filled with fair creatures in the most ex'reme state of distress. ‘The stewardess was almost frantic in her endeavors to answer all the calls made upon her, and the ladies, it seemed to us, did not look quite so beantl- folas when they left the wharf. Neither were the men altogetuor free from the at tacks of Neptune, and many of them paid tribute THE STALT-—THE with the most woe-begone connteminces, Ono | young gentleman, distinguished for his personal beauty, a correspondent for a New York paper, fell an early victim, and was ill daring tre whole trip.

The sick people who had paseed from bing cisgusted and disconsolate ton btate of utter prostration, now disposed themselves on coils of rope, chai 8, ballast boxes, becches, and 80 forth, and slept soundly. Toelr sttitades were not stictly elessic, and their general appearance was anything but beeuifal, Those who o mld not sleep lowked limp avd pensive. Bocomotion was impcerible, and eveybody came to anchor where the: happened to sit. With a glace, we descried the Maria roundiag the stake boat, at half-past twelve, followed by the Jujia and the remainder of the squadron, it seemed in about tbe same order that they étarted, with the exceytion of the Mystery and the Spray. ‘They were eo far bebind that they re. turned without rounding the stake boat. Meaatimo the wind bad hauled a little, so that the Maria laid her course up, and was not obligéd to make a task; thus having the In k to get a fair wind up aod cown. It was the opinion of those learned in ouch matters, that, had the home passage been a dead beat to windward, the Jalia would huve been vic- torious. With the wind abeam, the Maria’s length saved Ler, and her euecess only proves hor av- periority in this point of selliog. At about balf past one o'clock tho Blackstone was “turned round” for Newport, very much to the delight of the female passengers. Tue return of the yachts was almost as pretty a wight as the etart, but it was not appreciated, because those of tho ontsiders who were not sick and disgusted woo hungry and thirsty, and had more of an eye for beefsteak than the line of hesuty, As- we parsed the Maria, the Black etone’s bell was rung, and an attempt was made to act up thiee cheers. It resulted in the giving of about one cheer and a half, However, on the principie of being grateful ‘for small favors, we suppose, Commodore Stevens came dewn to lee: ward and duly a knowledged the salutation. Asthe Ma:ia rounded the stake boat, (the Fire Fly,) at twelve minutes past three, the band on board played “ Hail Columbia” in a very consump- tive style. The ladies waved their handkerchiefs —‘ some followers of my own threw up their caps”— the race was over, and the Maria had won the prize. ‘The Jolia came in second, the Haze third, the Una fourth, the Gertrude fifth, the Irene sixth, tre Ellen Jane seventh, the Cordelia cighth, and the Amorica ninth. As tae contest fer the entrance money ($110) was only betwoen the Etlen Jane and the America, it wad given to the first named boat. So ended the grand regatta at Newport, and overy thing in that quiet village “returned unto its ac- customed place.” Probably affairs in the rest of tno world went on in precise y the eame manner aa if it had never occurred. Bat the reporters’ troubles were not over. It was necessary to get the time, for publication, from the judge’s record. Not a judge could befound. Appli cation at the Club House wasrecommended. Weat t» the Club House—a very pleasaxt clace, but It aeemed more hke e lodge of “Know Nothings” than aay- thing else. Youth, playiog billiards, knew nething; lounging member, knew roth ng; @ respectable looking colored gentleman, was really and totally devoid of enything lik- reliable intelligence. After calling to our aid a Bostun and Newport editor, council of war was held, and it was resolved to carry the «enemy by an attack of boarders; and procuring a boat we first assailed the Fire Fly, lying in the etream. She prepared to repel boarders, and a parley was held. More Kacw Nothings; no jodges aboard; they might be aboard the Maria. We made for the Maris, and found more Know No- thixge; returned to the Fire Fly, and one geatleman said we “might” get the time on board the Jolia, as Mr. Waterbu:y had copied it from the judges’ re. cord.
