THE CONCRET FOB THE WIDOW'S HOME.-Una? voidable embarrassments have made it neces? sary to postpone tbis concert to Thursday next, when it will positively take place. The programme is a very fine one, and will shortly be published. _ THE DILL MURDEH PRISONERS.-A rumber of persons, consisting of twelve white men and one negro, suspected of complicity in tho murder of S. G. W. Dill, were brought to this city yesterday under military guard and com? mitted to Castle Pinckney. A KEW LIGHTHOUSE WANTED.-A petition has been gotten up by C. C. Neil, Surveyor of the Port, with a view to the re-establishment of the lighthouse on Body Island, thirty-two miles north of Cape Hatteras, coast of North Carolina. It is of importance to the shipping interest, and now hes for signature by those concerned at the office of John Toomey, Esq., Commission Merchant, East Bay. THE STBAP GAME. -Tho followers of this lit? tle pastime have recommenced their game. Yesterday an old and unsuspicious negro came to the city to sell his garden sass, but fell among the strap game thieves, and was fleeced of about thirty-five to forty dollars. The an? cient darkey had wisdom enough to notify the city detectives, and six of the gaag were ar? rested and turned over to Magistrate Dingle foi prosecution. BASE BALL.-The match game between the E lipse and Carolina Base Ball Clubs, as an? nounced in Friday's issue, came off on that afternoon. The game was called at twenty minnies of 4 o'clock, the Carolinas at the bat. The playing of the Eclipse was excellent, and had not dar knee s put an end to the game (with the Carolinas ut the bat on the fifth innings), f it would no doubt have been closely contested. The score at the end of the fourth inning ; stood 21 to 26 in favor of the Carolinas. The jame will be played over at au early day. OFFICIAL CONTRADICTION OF A CANABD_ The Washington papers publish the following official telegram concerning a statement that recently appeared in the Courier: CHARLESTON, June 17,1868. Tb Gen. JJ. & Grant, Commanding United Sates Armies: One of the CUT/ morning papers contains a sensational paragraph in relation to outragea in Kershaw County, in this State. Colonel Edie, in reply to an inquiry from me, has just telegraphed from Camden that it has no foun? dation whatever. E. B. S. CANBY, Major-General Commanding. THE UNDERWRITERS' AOENCT some months since established a protective company, which waa to be controlled by the city detectives. The latter functionaries have had charge of a cart and tarpaulins, but the fire of Saturday night was the first occasion that called for the use of the tarpaulins. It was thought un? necessary to remove the stock of Messrs, Campbell, Knox i Co., ont 'the goods were taken from the shelves and piled upon the counters, the tarpaulins being then, thrown over them. Though the water waa thrown into the upper stories and through the windows, the tarpaulins preserved the goods from any loss by fire or water and they can be replaced with? out any damage. I THE SHIP MOKTOOMERT.- Tho latest informa? tion from this ship reports matters as progres? sing favorably. The deck load had all been taken off, and on Friday night the steam pump had been put to work and bad relieved the ship of a large part of the water; but some ad? ditional fixtures were necessary in order to get ont .the water io tbe lower part of the ves? sel. Should proper arrangements to effect ti?is result be achieved, it is hoped that she will lighten up sufficiently te cross Charleston Bar. The water when pumped out does not appear to return rapidly, and in consequence il is thought that her seams and buts are not badly strained. The parties at present in charge are ruing their beet effort., to place the ship in this harbor at the earliest moment. MUNICIPAL CHANGES AT COLUMBIA.-General Canby, by special order Ni. 140, has made changes in the City Government of Columbia very similar in character to those recently ef? fected in Charleston. The Mayor and Alder? men T. W. Radcliffe, W. P. Geiger, W; T. Wal? ter, A. M. Hunt, John Fisher and A. B. Taylor have been removed.' Aldermen John Alexan? der, R. Wearn, John. McKenzie, and D. P. Mc? Donald, of the old board, have been ref ai ned, together with Aldermen C P. Bernsen and F. W. Wing; two of General Canby'a Domin?es. And the following ne- appointments have been made : Dr. T. J. Bawls-, Dr. ?. W. Green, W. E. Greenfield, and Josaph Taylor (colored). C. M. Wilder (colored), Wm. Simons (colored). The new Mayor is Brevet Colonel Francis L. Guenther, Captain Fifth Artillery. Tbe Phoe? nix, in its comment * upon these changes, re? marks: "Tbe gentlemen removed-Major Theo. Stark, Mayor, and Aldermen Radcliffe, Geiger, Walter, Fisher, Hunt and Taylor-have tbe best wishes of those who elected them to ?f? rico, and whose interests, as well as the toter* esta of all in the comm unity, they have'sought to promote. Honor attends them as they leave the Council chamber of this city.". THE VEGETABLE TRADE.-Our steamships continue to transport to Northern ports heavy and valuable. shipmen ts of the vegetables of the j season, the- product of our imrnediate neighborhood. This business opens a large field for the enterprising agriculturalist, and, with the extensive and. increasing theil i ties which such articles will have in their speedy transportation by ?steam: to-so the great cen? tres pf population north of us, there is good reason why the entire countrv around should become a splendid garden spot, where vege? tables and fruits of all kinds may be grown for sale in* the great Northern cities. With 1 thorough drainage and high tillage the health of t the country would vastly improve, and eon- i si dering the largo growth of population at the i North, the time can bo hardly distant when a I good farmer possessing a moderate sized piece t of bind in this region 1 wfll have a handsome c competence.-. Tho steamship Charleston, for s New York, which left on Saturday, took abouj r four thousand packages of vegetables, and the t steamship Falcon, for Baltimore, carried about w one thousand.. This last steamer was loaded b to the depth of sixteen fdet, Quite a heavy I draught for a coasting steamer. 1 o THE YACHT RACE. A GALA DAY IN CHARLESTON' HARBOR. FULL PARTICULARS OF THE CONTEST. The Sturt -A Splendid Sight. CROWDING ON THE CANVAS. A CLOUS AND EXCITING RACE. THE ELLA ANNA WINS! TBS STAGGIE MITCHELL CLOSE AT HEB HEELS. AWARD OF THE ?MFIRE. Scones and Incidents. Among ail the leanly sports which we have copied from the Mother Co nntry not one bas become moro quickly naturalized and nation? alized tban that of yachting. Fifty years BRO the art-for such it ia-was, in America, com? paratively uuknown. Indeed, not until within the last two decades havo our poople seemed to learn and appreciate the rare oujoyment which, in England especially, it has boen made to contribute to that large class of gentlemen wbose wealth and leisure permit them to in? dulge, to the full, their taste in this exciting pastime. We have not been slow, however, to avail oursels of the example, and, to-day, there aro few lakes or streams, or harbors in the [ United States, on tho borders of which men of J culture and travel reside, that on a Bummer's day may not be soen dotted with its squadron of graceful yachts. The history of yachting may be traced back two or three hundred years, to a period when only kings J-nd queens, and the money lords of the world, could afford tho luxury of a white, winged vehicle for transit from place to place, across the water. Later, we can read of the excursions of intrepid Englishmen, like Lord Dufferin and others, around the world among the iceberg? of the Arctic regions, and a'ong the coast of Africa. The old records tell us too of ** long, low, black craft," which after serving the purposes of pleasure, have h"isted to the peak the deaths-head and cross? bones of some bold buocaneer, and become the " terror of the malu ;" and many in our j own day and generation remember how these | same "messengers of the wind" have defied the cruisers of the world, as they flitted here and there loaded down with cargoes of ela vos bound for a markot. The first pleasure yacht par excellence in America was built in either Stonington or New London, Connecticut. Others quickly followed, and, before tho lapse of many years, a yacht club was organized in the City of New York, the commodore of which, for a long period, was the Hon. John C. Stevens, of Hoboken. Under bis administration the.interest, inspired by early yachting exploits, assumed the shape of a system. Large Bums of money were ex? pended in experiments for tho purpose of se oaring tho best models. Shipbuilders like Donald Kay, of Boston, Webb, of Now York, and others began to participate, in tho increasing competition among Ibo yachts? men, and finally two among a multi? tude of boats were produced whose axploits placed them in the van of the yacht Beet of the world. The-o wero the Maria and America. The latter, accepting a challenge from (he Yacht Club of England, crossed the Atlantic and, in a race around the Isle of Wight, carried off the prize. To that event, moro ?han any other cause, is due the extraordinary nitrest now manifested thronghont the United State? in the art aquatic; and from that time until the present the marine architect has had bis ingenuity taxed to the utmost to supply j the craving for a faet boat1 The influence of this ambitious go-ahoad-itivenesa, so peculiar to the American people, has'been observable for years. Our row-boa ts are the fastest in the world;, our clipper ships make trips around the globe at an'average speed faster i than our river, steamboats can sail; our [ i steamships are the perfection of floating palaces, and if they do not bridge the Atlantio in ten days, they are deemed slow and of no account. On land as well as sea, this spirit of | competition largely enters into the national character, and whether it be in tho matter of i tat baby or a mee horse, somebody is sura to "bet his pile" ou owning the biggest* and the best. . The racing intrust provoked in the annals of American yachting bas contributed not a little to create this species of individuality; and hence when art event occurs like that which 1 took place Saturday in Charleston harbor, it M a sign of the times Indicative of the progress we are making, and worthy of the most gene- | rous encouragement. But to the race, i THE Dar Must have been borrowed from the y ach t man's paradise. It could not have been more a nepi- j cious. Tho BUD was obscured hy what a senti- i mental miss would call "fleecy cloudlets," often 1 enough to m uko the contrast agreeable and prevent the roasting process; while the wind- | i that' for which .ail prayers had been offered- [ was aa favorable as if it had been chartered from the gods expressly for this occasion. It blew freshly from the south wost. Before one o'clock the people were converging from all portions | - of the city towards the battery aid wharves, I | whore thoy could ?xmimand a view of the start, j t With ita usual regard for tho public accommo iataon,the City Railroad Company had changed < its day's schedule to suit the c vont and locali- < ky, and thousands congregated upon the water- j front ot the city to look upon the interesting i spectacle. On the water the scene was most y animating. Everything that floated appeared J toi be on i's keel-tish erm CD'a dugouts with ) patched and ragged canvas that has done ser? vice for a quarter of a century; fancy little boats 11 with sails not much larger than a pocket band- | i kerchief-coasting schooners and pilot boats -rowboats, and pleasure boats of every de- i scriptum-tugs and steamers-all filled with t spectators, a goodly phare ot whom were la- 1 lies. Many of the vessels were chartered by private parties. The Emilie and Fannie weic i both thrown open to the public, and, for tho I moderate sum of one dollar, carried all who dc- i sired to accompany tho race. Tho Post Band i generously tendered their sorvices free of t A?r^e, and, by permission of Oeneral Canby, t fccoojnpanied tho excursionists on tbe Emilie, j Much of the shipping in port was handsomely j lecorated with signal flags, ami altogether the larbor and iba- surroundings wore a gala-day J tspect, euch as bas not been seen in Charles- 1 on for many a year. i THE YACHTS. ( Five minutes to 1 o'oloekl Every eyo is 1 :arned to th? revenue cutter, whero are Gene al Canby, his military family and a number of I t adios. The captain has generously promised ] i 0 sound the signal for the start, and pundit- [ t Jly to the second thu sharp crack of a gr n inga out its warxlng note to "make ready." Lbreast of .the Battery and within a short pis- 1 01 shot of the Southern wharf are the four i ?ompcting yachts, chafing at their buoys like t o many hounds held in leash and eager for the < un. The bnoys are nly forty feet apart, and I he; Maggie, Mitchell,,by. .choice of position I dade the 'day preri?us, has tbe advantage of i leing to tho windward.. r Next to b er iatbo Un- I mown, to the left of which is the Eleanor, and i >n (he extreme left or northern buoy, ooo hun- 1 (Ired and sixty feet to the leeward of tho Maggie Mitchell, with perhaps the most dis? advantageous among all the positions, ie the Ella Anna. Fivo minutes never rolled so slowly by be? fore, but at last the signal gun sounds - THE STABT. The mainsails are already set, and ere the coho of the cannon has rolled across the wat? ers the jibs, too, have flown to their places; they take the breeze; the boats veer around; the cables ara slipped, and the fonr beautiful crafts, gracefully as swans, glide from their I moorings apon the great adventure of the .day. The little Maggie shoots ahead as if pro? pelled by the Naiads down below; then follow the stately Eleanor, the Unknown, and the witch-like Elia Anna. Now up go gaff topsails and flying Jibs. All are fairly under weigh, and the water boils oat from the bows in fur? rows of milk-white foam. The wind giv?s the sturdy yachtsmen all they can attend to, but there is a ballast of | sand bags on board, and these are piled up on the windward side wherever they can find a foot? hold. Besides its crew of six or eight working men-all cool, practiced sailors-each boat carries a gentleman who, in tho capacity of j judge, represents another yacht. On the Eleanor is W. A. Courtonay, Esq., representing tho Ella Anna. On the Ella Anna is Captain John Sly, representing the Eleanor. On the Unknown is R. S. Bruns, Esq., repre? senting the Maggie Mitchell, and on the Maggie Mitchell, representing.the Unknown, is Dr. W. H. Tarrant. A glance through a field glass shows that all on board are stripped to their work. There is no cl thing on their persons likely to impede a long swim, in case of a capsize or a casualty of a moro dangerous nature, and all evident? ly anticipate what Dr. Mantalini calls "a deran'd damp, moist uncomfortable time." The Emilie and Fannie with their freights of j spectators shoot out from the docks, tho band strikes up "Dixie," the crowd cheer, and in five minutes the fleet of steamers a 3d sail boats are moving gaily to the sea, in full chase of the fairy-like ot aft that are darting on their way ahead. Leaving the exhilarating sport for a mo? ment, we reproduce for the information of the general reader a description of the several yachts and the terms of the race: The Ella Anna was built by Messrs. J. G. & D. C. Marsh, of Charleston, and was only launched a few weeks ago. This is, therefore, her fir-I trial of speed in a race. She was sailed by Captain Edward Morse. The Eleanor was built by the Jones Brothers, also of Charleston, in 1867, and ran against the Maggie Mitchell, in the fall of that year, for a purse of $1000. The race was drawn, as the proper allowance of time to be made the Maggie Mitchell could not be determined. She was sailed by Captain Thomas Yoong, her owner, assiste i by Captain Sam. Bel), one oar Charleston pilota. The Maggie Mitchell is a Connecticut built boat, and owned by Messrs Black and Johns son. She bas achieved tho reputation of being one of the fastest boats in our harbor of her size, especially in each a breeze as prevailed Saturday. Tho Maggie was sailed Saturday by Capt. Thomas Daniels. The Unknown is also one of the contribu? tions of the Jones Brothers to the handsome yacht marine of Charleston, and was built about tho same time as the Ella Anna. She is very fast, and is destined yet to make her mark. She was sailed by Captain Hugh E. Vincent. Tho tonnage and dimensions of the four yachts are as follows: Eleanor. Sit? Anua. V.aggie Mitchell. Unknown.. ... FROM POET RIPLEY TO FORT SUMTER. We "return to our muttons." The race be? tween the two points above-named seems al? ready decided. The Eleanor has surged clean ihead, so that it looks almost impossible for tho Ella Ann a to overtake her, while the Maggie Mitchell shows her heels in tho most unmaid ?nly manner to the coy little Unknown. Betting DH the Eleauor is very decided, and greenbacks ind juleps change bands industriously on the steamers. "Fifty to forty that the Eleanor IYLU8," savB a voice. "Put up your money," is tho response, and somebody loses without k D owing it. The Unka own also has her friends unong the "lookers on in Vienna," but the maggie's backers take everything that is offer 3d, and show a "stiff upper Up." The scone at this time is remarkably fine. Before us looms np Fort Sumter, grand even in its ruins, ita battle-scarred face and rugged ratline calling rrp a host of memories which remind some on board of other and happier lays. Behind is the home we have just left -its spires growing more needle-like as they recode from view, and its contour every mo? ment becoming more beautiful in a perspec? tive, whose line of beauty is the carve of the two rivers which lovingly fold the old "City by ?he Sea" in a fond embrace. Near; / to us, and resting like an opal in an emerald setting, is Castle Pinckney, the white martere and green carpeting of the earth? works, io contrast with sea and sky, naking a picture worthy of the best effort of'l he artist. The flags ore flying, and the wharf [ md parapet are lined with soldiers enjoy ng this momentary relief from the monotony )f garrison life. Nearer to us is Fort Ripley, lismantlod, out of shape, going to decay, and ret picturesque in ruins. The forts, the croft Utting around us Uko so many sea gulls, the rachts just off our bow, all encircled with the usurious verdure, which on both sides of tho ?arbor descends Uko a fringe to the waters >dgo, make a scene of beauty which only the ian himself, through the lenses of the came ?a, could faithfully portray. Nearing Fort Sumter there is a perceptible ' tin by the Ella Anna on hor antagonist, and he sailing powers of I he lit Mn craft ns she lugs the wind are brought out in bold rolief. The wind now freshens to a degree which nakea it necessary toshorten sail, and on both x>ats gaff topsails and flying jibs are sent 1 > wn. Tho Maggie still keeps her place in iront of the Unknown, but there has also been i perceptible closing up in the gap between hem. ?.ROM CUMMINGS POINT BUOY TO WEEHAWKEN LIGHT 8HIT. The yachts rounded (he Cummings' Point Buoy to the northward, so closo that it could lave boca touched with a walking cane,' or n the language on board, "so that yon could :onnt the fiddlers creeping on it." They then lauled up close on the wind, and with the ex? ception of the Unknown changed their course o tho southward. The wind still blowing rom the southwest, and meeting the flood ide created hero a sharp sea, which sometimes vashed from stem to stern. The gunwales vere often two feet under water ; tho men on ward baled constantly ; the spray flew right md left, but tho little craft fairly flew through he waves. It was here that the most conspicu )us slri.ll was shown in handling all of he yachts. On going about on the ack for the light ship, their position voa aa follows : The Ella Anna was several lundred yards to windward of the Eleanor, and ho Maggie Mitchell was noarly on a line with mt behind the Eleanor. The Unknown wae fi till on a coarse to the leeward of the bj ship. Approaching the latter point it found that a large flat, employed in the op? tiona of the sanken wreok, had drifted to extent of its cable, BO that its western end ' close npon the bows of the lightship and more than two. boats' length to the sou tb w of it. To overcome this dilemma without 1 of time made the situation critical in the tremo. It was, apparently, the turning pc of the race, and it required an extraordin command of nerve, skill and judgment to cc pass the difficulty. The Ella Anna, bavi stood well over towards the shore, had e vide ly determined to avoid all risk of accident going around the lightship, wreck, flat b and all, and made her tack with plenty of i room. The Eleanor, not having so cc trolling a position to windward, made virlne of necessity, and pushed bol ly for the narrow gap between the ligl ship and the flat. For even one boat attempt such a feat would, under other c camstance8, have been deemed sheer recklei ness, but the complication which auddei followed made the situation doubly dangeroi And one of great peril It proved, howovi the cool heads and admirable management the captains who had the yachts in chare They knew what they wore about. Quick at flash, and almost as unexpected, the Mug; Mitcholl, which had kept up a sharp ste chase, and was a long distance in the rear, u der tho impel na of some auspicious flaw, fa ly leaped over the intervening distance, ai plunged headlong neck and neck with tl Eleanor into the narrow pasa. The flood til waa dashing through it with the velocity of mill race, and there were not three feet spare on either side. The excitement was nc intenso, for life itself was in the stake, single false movement, a tremor of a ner would have precipitated a catastrophe shipwreck. But tbe leap had been mad both boats wore in the narrow spac men held their breath ; you could have steppe from one boat to the other. "Look oat shoat a dozen voices from the lightship ac flat, and thero was a stir as if to lower awe boats for a rescue. Seconds glide by lil minut?e. "Steady" is the word. The Magg shoots ahead, passing so close to the ligb ship aa to acrape her paint ; tho Eleanor cleai the flat "by an inch, turns as on a pivot, an her bowsprit sweeps the deck of the littl Maggie. "Look out 1" "Keep off 1" "Koep off I "You'll sink us I" shoat the crew of the Maggi? "We can't give an inch," was the reply, "bi we won't touch you." In a moment more a was clear. The Ella Anna now came rushin down (showing how close had been the calci lation of Captain Morse in going his course making a clean sweep of all, and accomplis! ing his turn only half a length behind the tin yacht. The Unknown followed, but had efrain ed her mast to such a degree that it require the most careful nursing, and hence took a pc sition in the rear. HOMEWARD BOUND. The course from the lightship to the Gum mince' Point buoy was direct and unbroken the Eleauor leadin? by a length or two, an< the Maggie Mitchell nearly abeam of the Ell Anns. Rounding the buoy and hauling on th wind, the yachts now made for the White Pom buoy, rounding which the Ella Anna, by reasoi of having crept well to windward, took the lead The stretch was now for Remley's Point, bu tbe wind bad Blackened, although it had no changed its quarter, and hence the interest at taobing to the speed of the yachts was some what lessened, especially among those on (bi steamers, who had seen them under the bes advantages. On shore, however, the scene waa different The Battery, the wharves and shipping appear? ed to be perfectly black with people for nearl.v three-fourUiB of a milo, sud obcor after cheer rang-ont as the yachts, with every stitch ol canvas set-mainsails, square-sails, jibs, gan topsails and "ring-tails"-moved with stately grace up the river, to enter upon the rina] contest for the prize. Following in ir? regular procession, and dotting the water Like a great convoy of white-winged birds, wa? Bvery species of craft of which Charleston eau boast ; and the spectacle at this juncture was one.long to be remembered. The Ella Anna kept in the van to the buoy off Remley's Point, where, on turning, the Eleanor again modo a dash; but the race was now against wind and tide, and it was evident at tho outset that the Ella was destined to bear away tho practical honors of the day. Hugging the Mount Pleasant shore to, keep ont of the tide, making short and frequent tacks, rapidly she crept away from her competitor, until, thirty two minutes past four, she made tho stake boat off the Southern wharf, and rounded to. The Maggie Mitchell came in a very few min? utes afterwards, the Eleanor and Unknown both being distanced. It is proper to state, however, that the former Dot only lost a gaff topsail by reason of its being fouled, but ran aground and so remained for two minutes and. ben seconds, while the latter lost her mast. The following account of the race, from a standpoint diff?rent from that from which the above description was written, will convey an admirable idea in brief of the chief features of Ibis mest interesting event, together, with the decision rendered by Hon. P. C. Gaillard, the umpire: THE RACK. As the moment for starting approached tho excitement became quietly intense. At five minutes before one, tbe warning gan was fired, and the yachts with their buoys woll aft lay ready for the start. At one precisely the start? ing gun was fired, and before the wreaths of smoke bad circled away from the revenue cut? ter the yachts wera off. The start was an ex? cellent one. In a moment the jibs were eel, and the four cor testants drew away from I ho land. The al aggie was the first to be fairly ander weigh, anti was followed by tho Eleanor, Clla Anna and Unknown. But tbe Eleanor forged rapidly ahead, and was well in front of ber competitors ou passing the cutter. The Eleanor, going before the wind, iocroaaed lier advantage, being followed by tho Maggie, Un? known ?nd Ella Anna. Off Fort Ripley tho arder and position were about tho samo. Tho Eleanor was in front, and the throe other boals were in a clump together, the Maggie and Un? known bein:: ahead of tho Ella Ania. The Eloanor was now to leeward of the Ella Anna, which boat crept up, and passed tho small yachts with apparent ease. While running iowii the shoal off Fort Sumter the Eleanor bad still tho lead. The Ella Anna was near tho Eleanor, and the Maggie and Un ko wu wore running near each other some distance astern. ?Vben tho yachts were brought np, the supe? rior sailing qualifies of the Ella Anna on a wind wero apparent. Thia boat kept her posi? tion very handsomely and workod steadily to windward of the Eleanor, which was now fall? ing off to leeward. The boats did not change their order for a considerable timo, but the [Jhknown wan kept before tho wind when tho others tacked to the soutli'urd, and seemed to liavo got into rough water. Rounding tho light ship, tho Maggie was ahead, followed closely by Un Eleanor and Ella Anna. Tho Unknown WAS now far astern and was counted out of the race, which it was known would bo won on the Cooper River in beating down to tho winning point. When the yachts passed the wharf on their way to Remley's Point, the Ella Anna had worked np io tito first place, hugged tight by the Eloanor and Maggie. Thc two larger yachts were sailing abreast of each other, bul (bc Elennor dexterously turned the buoy in front of the Ella Anua. Ou the return trip the Eleanor came soon enough to grief. Ber topsail fouled, a man was sent aloft to cut it loose, and the canvass was soon driftirjg with the tide. Then she touched bottom, and every moment was left farther behind by the Ella Anna, which was being splendidly sailed. The Unknown was coming down handsomely enough when her mast was carried away. It bad sprung on the run down, and careful hand? ling alone saved it so long. It was now nearly half-past four o'clock, and there would be no race unloss the winner came in before five. Only about half an hour, and a long stretch yet to make. But the Ella Anna seemed to know what was wanted of her. 8he fairly flew through the water, and at four forty P. M., passed the winning point and was saluted as the winner of the most exciting yacht race ever Been in Charleston. The following is the official award of the Hon. P. C. Gaillard, the umpiro : CHARLESTON, S. C., Jane 20,1868.-As um? pire in the yacht race of .his day, I would res? pectfully report as follows : At one o'clock, P. SI., punctually, the yacths started. The Ella Anna passed within the prescribed lines at 4 S2.5. The Maggie Mitchell passed within the pre? scribed lines at 4 37.25. The Eleanor did not come up to the pre? scribed line until after five o'clock owing to her nmnmg aground and injnring her centre board. The Unknown having boon dismasted, did not come within the prescribed line at all. Tho purse of one thousand dollars is, there? fore, awardod to tho yacht Ella Anna.* The purse of two hundred dollars ia awarded j to the Maggie Mitchell, the judges appointed j by the owners of the several yachts having reported that all the conditions of agree? ment had been complied with. P. C. GAILLARD, Umpire. To Captain F. W. DAWSON. THE CHARLESTON AND WHAT IS IT. Not among the least attractive features of j the day was a race that bad been made up be? tween the owners of the Charleston and What is It-two "cat boats" so called, but really handsomo Bailors, for a purse of-well to be frank,-a basket of champagne The boats started from the same place ns the yachts, at one o'clock and thirty-four minutes, the route being around Fort Ripley, thence around the buoy at Romley's Point, at the mouth of Wando River, and thence to the winning point off 8outbern Wharf. The Charleston allowed the What is It four minutes time. Both boat? had been thoroughly overhauled and started out in fine stylo, the Charleston being sailed secundum artcm by Captain Sam. Bringlow sometimes called "Brignoh"-one of the best of our Southern pilots, and the W. I. I. by Captain Cook. The Charleston is a New York boat, built in 1867 by Ingersoll <fc Co., and was entered by her owner, Mr. T. D. Clancy. The What Is It was built in Beaufort, and is owned and was entered by Captain Thomas Young. There were no associate judges in these boats, but both went at the top of their speed and made the most of their timo and opportu? nity. It was evident from the start, however, that the "What Is It," like most fat mon, was too bulky to accomplish muob by the side of | her more lively antagonist. The surprise is that a boat so nearly round should have done so well. THE I?E8ULT. The Charleston made the trip in three hours eighteen minutes, and the "What Is It" came in one bonr behind. It was a decidedly nice little affair, full of fun to both winnora and losers, and our regret is that the demands of the larger boats pre? vented us from the enjoyment of the good things incident to the event. Weean only add like John Gilpin, "When next a race occurs, may we be there to seo." CONCLUSION. LT closing this sketch it should bo remarked that too much credit cannot be bestowed upon the several gentlemen by whom the day's sports were inaugurated and managed. To Messrs. Wm. A. Courtenay and John Sly for arranging the buoys, to Hon. P. C. Gaillard, the umpire, and all others identified with the affair, praise is due for the handsome manner in which rational enjoyment was secured to at least ton thousand people.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.-About ll o'olock on Sat? urday night tho alarm of fire was sounded, but from some unexplained cause tho alar?i bell rang both Wards 3 and 4. This, however, retarded the engines but a few minutes, abd they were soon upon the ground and at work. Tho Ore originated in the centre of Messrs, Holmes & Calder's paint and oil store, and the draft caused by the nan ow passage carried thia flames above tho neighboring buildings anil caught the adjoining store, occupied by Mr. W. L. Webb as a wholesale crockery establish? ment. The lire was first communicated to the upper story and thence spread through the en? tire building. The front and loxjr story of Holmes & Calder's store was completely des? troyed, and the rear was only saved by the fall? ing of the roof, the tin of which covered and protected the stock in tho back part of the store. For some time the flames raged fiercely, and the inflammable material which comprised the stock of a paint store lent such fuol to the fire, that not only the two build? ings mentioned, bnt others in the neighbor? hood were threatened with destruction. Mean? time the streams from the different engines were incessantly poured upon Ute burning building with visible good effect. The houses of Edwin Bates & Co., Strauss, Vanees ic Co., and Campbell Knox Sc, Co. were for some time in great danger, but excepting tbe break? age of tho front glasses in the lower story es? caped material damage. Holmes & Calder's store was completely destroyed and the building occupied by Mr. W. L. Webb was almost gutted by the flames. * Af I er thc fire had reached the second building a largo portion of the south wall fell, carrying with it the rafters and stock that was upon the back floors. The firemen succeeded in extinguish? ing tho flames about two o'clock, but the stores of Holmes & Calder and W. L. Webb were com? pletely ruined, and the stocks destroyed. Messrs. Holmes & Calder had a full stock,' which was, insured in Tupper's "agency for $14,000 on oils and paints, and $3000 on belt ing. Mr. Webb was insured for $15,000 on his stock in the agencies of Colburn dsHowoll, and Tobias and Hon our. The buddings were each j insured for $10,000. That occupied by Webb belonged to the estate of T. A. P. Horton, and was insured for $7000 in the London and Liv? erpool Globe Company, and for $3300 in Mr. Oakes' agency. The building occupied by Holmes & Calder belonged to the esUte of Bell, and was insured for $10.000 in Northern agen? cies. The oil stock in the back part of the store, amounting to nearly $2000, was saved in a par? tially damaged condition. A large portion of the crockery ware was also saved, but the setB have boen broken, and the stock thus rendered comparatively valueless. The oils and other inflammable material caused the heat to be so intense that many supposed another large fire was inaugurated. The boarders of the Charles? ton Hotel, and the inmates of the adjoining houses, collected their household goods and prepared for a sudden exodus, but their ap? prehensions, fortunately, wero not realized. Ropes were stretched in front of the building yesterday, and paseongers prevented from passing along the east pavement, as the front walls were in a dangerous condition. COBONEB'S INQUEST.-Coroner Whiting held on Saturday an inquest over the remains of Frank Garner, tho white man drowned with Mr. Roddin. A post mortem examination was held by Dra. F. P. Porcher and Ayer, and they testified that the bo y showed no marks of violence, and was only disfigured by the fish. Harry Jenkins, Thos. Crews and Alex. Briant, the colored crew, swore to substantially the same statement that has been already pub? lished. Mr. Roddin, Uarner and the colored woman, Ann Rutledge, were drowned when tho boat capsized the second time. Tho jury ren? dered a verdict ot accidental drowning. BUSINESS NOTICES. II.
