and equlpped, and. under the laws of thosI
States, the various oommtianlDs atr comptled to
have a stated numb1itir of reviews and oiwa'I- iP

division and brigade commandtor.
These reviews have heno so opular In
some of the cities that hltwuktne iC altniot on

A aNEW YACEHT CIAlRB.
Our Amateur Tachtmnen In Council As
msembled.
It Is with pleasure that we chroni ln the inau
guration of a yacht club here. It hais snemed
strange that in acity that boL.ts of so many rignd
and true amateur sailors as New Orleans such
a length of time should pass without some
movement being taken to organize on na permla
nent basis a club looking to the promotion of
yachting. We have almost at our doors that
beautiful sheet of water lake Pont-hartrain.
and within easy reach the billowy Hound. no two
better places than which for testing Ia Iboat's
-ped in fair and foil weathlier exist,. and yet iup
to l t night no activity hils bon shown sincei
the days of the Crescent City Club to glve a tush
to thl s most exciting and exhilarating sport.
Ye are satistlfd now, however, tlih work has
leen commenuced in earnelt. tnd it is ti his
opd that a welconmt respolnsno will mnlet I tie
Intiatory of this now chilu.
At Hawkins' ilulb-room. last evening, a num
ber of gentlemen met pursuant to it ll. for
the purpose of organizing a yacht club.
On motion of Mr. Walter Hare. Mijor J. E.
Austin was called to the ihusir to act as temlpo
rary president, and Mr. C. E. Whitney as ternom
oary secretnry.
M° or Austin stated clearly the oljects of tile
meeting. He said it had been nalled for tho
purpose of entelrillg up lon the orgaulznt.ion of a
new association, diHlsconnleted ontirely with any
tf the old ones. for the purpose of ennolurig
ing the lnterest which he know was strongly fellt
are in yachting. As miany. Wileho wer not lthen
-resent, had expressed their hearty co-oelira
.lon in such a nlilvemcnt, he thought that thli
first two or three mIotings ought, to te conosil
ered as simply preliminary olnes. and Ihe ex
pressed the with that. all plresint shouldt on
stitute himself a comnmittee of one to canvass
amongst his yachting friends to participait ini
the new organizationli. itHe said that already
some sixty had expressed their dlsirn to i.lii.
Mr. E. O'Brien agreed with the Chair, anl
thought that only prollminary mnolinigs ouight
to be held for the present until the (club had
received the addit lons of thluse who lhad already
slgnifled their wish to join.
Mr. Jno. Phillips said thatt no mn.lller ought
to suggest a nam1 for muemnihrship unless his
consent he prevtiusly obtltinild.
The Chair stated that of (course no name
would be suggested without the issiolit of Illh
party.
The uuestion of initiation fens antd du.s was
then taken up. and it was agreed iupon tatill at
-resent there would be no inltilation fees, and
that the yearly dues would be $10.
On motiont it was resolved that each membnler
should canvass anlllgyst his friends III0i Ihiavie
the parties present who desired to join, at tihe'
-eat meeting, on Tuesday evening next. lt.
H wkins' saloon.
The meeting then adjourned until that time
and place.
WILL PACKaRD ACCEPT ?
That question was put to him in the Custom
'ouse yesterday by a dozen or two of his
friends, but none of them got. a decided answer.
When the DaIM(E'tAT man came along heasked
the same question. Iat the siulln time intimating
(from Information reneived I that the position as
consul to Liverpool was worth something like
$1e,000 a year.
Mr. Packard was. as usual. evasive, express
ing, however, some surprise that his name was
sent in. and while he did not say positivl y that
he would decline the position. he intimated
that the confirmation of his appointnlt by
the Senate would not displease him a part 'lel.
Some of his friends claim that. the purpose ot
the administration is to get him as lar from
Lousleana as oissible, and as fast as
possible. in order that his influencn, if
he has any. may not be used against
the President in the coming developments.
Some say that 'Pakard knows much about the
way in which matters were worked during the
Returning Board session of 1876, and that hav
tag been refused the appointment as Collecltor
here, he, with some of the anti-liayes lopiub
Iloans at Washington. might show ui some
thing upon Louisiana election iaffars that
would even exceed the Florida stir were he left
unprovided for in this country.
Packard himself, however, denies having even

PIN POOL.
The Tournament Ended-Extra Billiards.
The six players tied for the fourth prize
agreed among themselves to play a general
game to settle the matter, the player winning
the first four games to take the money. After
an exciting game Boul won, winning the ilfth.
tenth, eleventh and twelfth games. The tour
nament has been a most decided success, and
although it lasted twenty-two days, the iwerest
and attendance hes not flagged or abated during
that long time. The audience, both in the atter
noonsa nd evenings, has been both large and

therefore, moved the adoption of tho resolo
tion.
Administrator Brown obtectetd. however. say
Ing that he doubted whether the Council had
any right to modify a ,lease which hadi been sold

his priviliege by Mr. Fitzen.roitr.
At this juncture. a motion made by Asdminis
trator DInis. that the subjoct lio oIr r for a

order. the result being a refusal under the sig
nature of the contractor; that he (Mr. Mi
C:afTroy had thereupon begun to repair the road,
iundler the provision of the contract stipulating
that In c.ast of neglect of the contractor to per
form his duty the city shall d,, the work at his
expense; that he (Mr. McCaffrey) had pro
gressed in thib work as far as possible, and now
he would ask the Council for instruction to put
the contractor in delfault.

the shape of a resolution and adopted.
