The vacht “‘Zurah’’froni St. Thomas arrived hére Sunday morning with tour- ists for the races, and returned last night. S e ' The schooner Creole sailed also for St. Thomas this morning. We hear much appreciation expressed at the fine concert rendered by the Navy Band on Sunday evening last. It was, indeed vrell rendered. The football matech between St Tho- mian and Cruzian teams ongthe 4th July resulted in a victory-for the home boys by one goal to none. ‘ ; The horse races run at Mannings Bay track yesterday were a success. The weather which had been drizzly in the * ®.arly morning cleared up nicely and fa- vored the days outing. Therée was a larce attendance, and betting, with the - usual gains and losses, ran- high. The horses appeared in good=trim andso far only one accident is reported as hav- ing occurred through _the jockey of “Bone Button’’in the third race falling and more or less’ seriously injuring his head. The first race was won by '‘Fish- er Girl,”” the second by~ “'Gunfire”’ (this horse went- aroond alone, his competi- tors not taking part); and the -third by the famous “Emmy Lou’’ whose repu- tation failed so" gain” her d victory in the first race. 2 Correspondence.
