Tho quarters of the crows of Dartmouth and Amhorst wero thronged by tho friends of Biglin and Ward rospeotively, each party encouraging tho mon on whom their money was staked, sud gaining confldonce from his roplics.

The intenso rivalry boetwoon thom, bosidos, hias beon carriod to grontor extont than amoug other oars- mou. The fawmilios of Ward and Biglin havo contested the victory of double-skull racos, four- onrod matches, and siuglo soulling, over aud ovor, and theirs stand the chief bmkfng names in the country. With very good wator and littlo wind tho boats startod off 8t G:48, in tho presouco of o crowd augmented by tho delay to five or six thousand, on both banks of the river, The long dolsy hn sharponed tho_appotitos of the hungry slght- scors, and a8 tho men camo into line the crowds rushed forward to obtain good positions, Biglin woro greon colors, while Ward wore rod, the formor having tho oantern or fusido position. At {ho nbove minuto Commodoro Brady, the roforoo, standing on the bow of the little pro- X}:unr dli'gu gave tho word, and both mon's oura oppod ins{sutly into the wator, For a minute noither varied much from an oven liug Aorosy tholr bows, but nt the end of that timo Vard be- gan to gain n triflo, stoadily incroasing it, until nt tho ond of the first quarter milahio led Ly lnlf o boat' length, ‘Tho men both pulled strong, doap stroko, wilhout vislble excitoment, minding nut}\ing of 'tho yolls whioh camo from tho shore adylsing thom to pull fastor. ‘Ward rowed noarly his bost, whilo Biglin soomed to caro nothing for his rival'a galn, ox- peoting probably to tira him out in tho closing strogglo.

Blglin kept ou his way toward the lowor stake without missing a stroke, but sevoral othor scuil- ors who happonod to bo noar rowod up to ren- dor assistauce to their follow, if Lo should noed it, but oxactly thq sort of aid noodod was now nt hand in tlio shapo of the little Olyde, which stonmod up dircotly. Commodore Brady called, “What is tho mattor?” and tho firat words of ux{)l\mntion camo to thoso nearout in tho roply : “1 nm sick, give mo somo water,” Ward was assiuted into tho stoamer and his boat cared for. Ho waa thon talion ashore 88 soon a8 pos- sible and assisted to the Amhorst quarters. Hero Dr. Dooman, & physician from Thompson= villo who snw the trouble, eame in and attended to tho sick man, Ellis was Iaid on a bed in an uppor room, where lio was soon surrounded with sympathizing friends and overything dono thes conld bo thought of to ease his condition, Tho dootor aunounced that tho dircct cause of his patient’s distross was congestion of the lunga and vortigo. Tho soro throat with which Ellis has beon troubled for tho past weok led to tho supposition that ho may hiave hoen coming down with pnonmonia. Tho hard work of rowing strainod his chost, and probably strained tho blood-vessels. Among the gontlomen who hastenod st once to the room whore Ward Iny wore William Blaikto, of Now York, oll of tho romaining Wards who wore prosent at tho race, soveral nowa&)?:or reprosoutatives, an illustrate skotchor, and Jamos Ton Eyck, tho pinglo soull- er. All united in oxpressions of sorrow for the nccident, and a bolief that somo fuluro day wonld sce a finer exhibition of tho powers of both men. Whon Ellis waa & little moro comfortable, ho oxplained in a fow words the attack of siclmess ho bad oxperienced. The firat feoling ho had was of pain in tho chost, followed immodiatoly bfl nlmost total blindnoss. IHo heard Biglin shont somothing about nov crossing his boab, but had not the power tocomprehond what should bo dono, 1le thinks ho must have pulled thirty soconds aftor the blindness irst appoared, not wishing to abandon tho race. Ho has expe- rionced & pimilar songation i a loss dogreo on previous oceasions, when near the ond of 4 long raco, but nover ab thostart. To a suggostion that ho might bo a little overtrained, Lllis ro- plled that Lio did not know but that had somo- thing to do with it. Biglin rowed over the five milo courso, two and o half miles onch way, with ono turn, and was grooted with victor's chioors as lio 'camo Dback to tho starting. Thero soomed in truth lit- tlo enougl to cheer ovor in such a victory, bub tho fortunato winnera of pools, which sold from two to ono upward in tho vietor's favor, were obligad to oxpress their satisfaction in somo way whon ho Liad tinished the race, Diglin rowed $o tho steamor to spenk to tho reforoe, and was givon a ploco of advico by ono of tho most prominent friends of boating in Amorien: © Now, Jobn,” eaid this gontloman, “you don't want to tako monoy won in this wey. You aro entitled to it, of courso, aud you can olaim it whon you choose, but you had bottor: Tet it lio, and issuo a challonge to Wara after ho recovors for the samo stakes. You would thus boenying: ‘I am not afraid of you, and nm willing to test my musclo with you fairly,” Now, Jonn, that is what I would adviso you to do.” Biglin eaid ho would think about it, and pulled away to his boat-house. Loat thero should bo any misundorstanding, Commodore Brady, tho referoo, states that Join Biglin bas won the $1,000 put u{z on the raco, g}:d that a1l bots aro to bo pald on the victory of lin, i glance at tho rocord of tho men shows that Diglin has won nine single-scull matchos and Tost eight, rowod nine timos in winning crews and six times in tho losing crow, Ward las been succossful in_ ten single-scull and throo crow matehes, and dofeated in four single-scull ‘matchos. ] Ward and Biglin have mot in siugle scull con~ tests four times boforo; each won two, Ward's Deut time has boen ono’ mile, 5:01; two_ milos, 14:42 ot Inglosido; threo milos, 21318, Biglin's best time has boon three imiles, 23:47; four uiles, 81:69; five miles, 89:05. Liglin's' ricos have beon noorly all long racea of thrao, four, and five milos, while Ward's have boon much shorter. AMipxtant—John Biglin now states that he will put_up the mouey ho won to-dayin his race sgainst Ellis Ward, for a similar race, to bo rowed under the same oonditions any day this weolt. This is on account of Ward's inability to Iairly contest the race, from his sudden illnoss, Tho date of this weelt may be & little too early to allow Ellis to got iuto suitablo condition to accopt tho challonge, and the raco will bardly be Tliablo to como off.
