LOPER, over Rotor or ree Prucapkirnia Lxquineu:— ‘Sueyour paper of this date, under the editorial head, 7 fud 2 communication headed ‘An Ocean Race.” In remarks under the above head you have done great . jee, not only to the gentlemen owners of yachts in New York, Boston, Philadelphia and elsewhere, but you tteck our Philadelphia mechanics when you say that fhe skill of modelling vessels is of no benefit to our country. Remember, sit, that I have constructed and have had built fu this city three of the fastest yachts of abetr class ever built in this country—namely, tbe Ame- rica, the pleasure yacht of tue Emoress of Brazil; the Madgie, now owned by Commo- dere William H. MeVickar, of the Now York Yacht Cinb, and the Palmer, which T now own. The Palmer’ is the fastest yacht in the world, ‘m my opinion, and I am ready to back up m: ‘opinion by accepting a challenge to sail, for a set of sil- ver, with any yacht in this or any other country. You my there was arace from China to London by clipper ‘ships, and that the affair was considered of some impor- because commerce was interested, The models of thoee very clipper ships were taken from the far- famed Yacht America, which was plavned by John C.

She went to Europe, and her ewner returned with « gold cap, takea from the fastest chta Europe could produce, The cup was valued at 000. Mr. Steers, after the triumph of the America over all Karope, duilt the sald clipper ships after the lines of the America, enlazged.

The Henrietta 1s owned aed commanded by Mr. J. G. Bennett, Jr. She is two A@andred. and five tons (205). The Fieetwing is owned By Mr. George A. Osgood, and is two hundred and six ‘@enn.

Thomas Fitz- gerald, one of the several young men irom Norfolk who created the disturbance, died to-day of his injuries. The other three injured are ali in a bad way, but will get well. Quite lengthy examination has been had beiore the Mayor, and a more extended investigation will be made by the Coroner in an inquisition to be held over the remaius of the person killed, After the fighting was over the place where the disturbance occurred was set on fire, and before the firo coulda be extinguished four buildings and most of their contents were destroyed. The buildings were small wooden tenements of little account, and altogether the troublesome and disreputably vicious character of the inmates makes it a subject of congratulation that they were destroyed. Two or three of the young men impli- cated in the affair bave fled the city.
