Cowes, Dec, 30.—Yesterday the three
American yachts Henrietta, Fleetwing and
Testa, upon invitation of Queen Yictorla,
•ailed up Osborne bay. Her Majesty came
down to the beach, and spent some time in
witnessing the various manoeuvres of the
yachts. As the winner of the great race,
the Henrietta, passed by, she saluted it by
-waving her handkerchief.
At the grand banquet given by the citi
aens of Cowes, last evening, the hall was
profusely decorated with British and Ameri
can Ha gS, and pictures of the contending
yachts, while the walls were hung around
with friendly mottoes. Sir 3 oim Simon, M.
P., presided at the entertainment, and the
greatest international good feeling prevailed
among the guests. Toats were drunk with
great enthusiasm to the Qneen, the Presi
dent, and the Armies and Navies of both
countries.
Toasts to Peace and Prosperity to the
United States, to Old England, were also
drank; the New York Yacht Squadron; the
health of Mr. J. G. Bennett, Jr., and a host
of others toasts of a friendly character,
Major-General Seymour, by command of
the Qneen, expressed Her Majesty’s interest
in the race, and her thanks for the display
made in the bay daring the afternoon.
At the dinner given by Lord Lennox, His
Royal Highness, the Duke of Edinburg,
accepted the challenge of Mr. J. G. Bennett,
Jr., and agreed to sail round the Isle of
Wight next August, for a prize of one hun
dred pounds. The Duke will sail his own
yacht, the Viking, This announcement
has created a great sensation in yachting
circles.

Elbe in the Twenty-seventh Ward.—
This mom tng about two o’clock a fire broke
oat in a small frame cooper-shop attached
to the coal and wood establishment of P.
McGary <fc Son, at Thirtieth and Chestnut
streets. The structure wasldestroyed. The
flames extended to some of the coal sheds
and they were partially burned. A stable
took fire but was not much injured. The
horses and mules were all safelyjrescued by
the police and firemen. Some of the sheds
of Harris A Hannings’s coal oil establish
ment were also damaged. Fortunately the
oil did not take fire, the barrels mostiv in
danger having been rolled ont.
The wind was blowing strong from the
northeast, at the time. Had it been in
another direction the destruction of property
would have been much more serious.
The firemen were ‘much exposed to the
cutting blasts, but stood their ground man
fully and worked energetically for upwards
of two hours.
The total loss by the fire was not verv
■heavy.

How ah Investment can Increase.—
Mr. E. O. Dale, whose sodden death last
week, shocked the business community,
was Prothonotary of the District Court, and
in 1860, sixteen years ago, retired from that
office with |14,900 as the net proceeds of his
tennre in office, and, as he at the time
avowed, about all of his earthly possessions.
This stun he placed in the hands of Amos
Phillips, a personal friend and shrewd
manager of money, without written acknow
ledgment, to be used as bis own, and to
make return to him or Iris heirs when
called on. The fact of this deposit, thus
made sixteen y ears ago, was known in Mr.
D.’s lifetime only to the parties imme
diately connected with it, and Mr. D,
having died suddenly, leaving no will or
other record of this partionlar investment,
from whiohhe had never drawn anything,
and Which had steadily increased, his
heirs, a son arid daughter, on Friday last,
were not a little surprised to receive from
Mr. Phillips, in first-class securities and
cash, the handsome Sum of f 60,416. Though
Mr. Dale had snbsequently made and
saved since his deposit of f 14.800 with Mr.
Phillips, in 1860, a very handsome estate,
these unknown securities passed over by
Mr. Phillips was a perfect windfall. The
growth of the deposit was mainly in inte
rest—the securities invested in being en
tirely of a reliable character.
