Senator Morrill thought the resolution had better le upon the table, but Mr. Davis insisted upon its being re- terred.« Senator Conkling called attention to the fact that the resolution was a joint one, instead of a concurrent resolution; that it would require the signature of the President, and It looked like this form been adopted with the view of throwing upon the Executive a part of the responsibility of a hurried adjourn- ment, or of foreing him to veto it in order to compel a continuance of the session, having important business before it. Senator Dawes read from the Constitution its language specifi- eally excepting adjournmrnt resolutions from executive signature, and held that whether it be a joint or concurrent resolution made no dit- ference. The resolution was referred to the committee on appropriations. PERSONAL.—S. G. Hilborn, esq., a prominent citizen of Valiejo, California, and a delegate to the Chicago convention, is at the Ebbitt House, —NMres. General J. H.

A Goop Move.—In the House of Representa- tives on Monday last, Hon. S. 8. Cox presented a petition signed by more than 1,000 residents of the District of Columbia, asking Congress to give the laboring classes, who are employed six days in the week, portunity for mental improvement by opening the Congressional Li- brary, Smithsonian Institution and Medical Museum, on Sundays and at night. The peti- bse was referred to the committee on the li- Pacer. A Poor Wipow’s APPEAL TO THE PRESIDENT. “A poor widow,” employed at the Treasury bu- reau of engraving and printing, who has five children to support, wants THe Star to ask the President of the United States to have the working people of that bureau pald for the time they will have to lose (by no fault of theirown) during the removal of the machinery and fix- tures of the bureau to the new building. She writes: “We work so very hard and get such staall pay, that if we lose the time we cannot pay our rent and will have nothing to eat. I hope God will put it in Ifs heart to have us paid for the time we lose.” THOMAS A. EpIsON, Of Menlo Park, N. J., has obtained another patent for a phonograph.

Longstreet. of Georgia, to be minister to Tur- David M. Key to be U. S. District Judge tor the eastern and middle districts of Tennes- see. The newly appointed Minister to Turkey is the general of contederats fame. He became a republican after the war. He ts now postmas- ter at Galnsville, Georgia. Seciety Notes. Suppose Gen. Grant is returned to the White House for a four years’ residence, what will he do for his Dillard room? The addition to the upper conservatory now being constructed will cover all the space formerly occupied by the bililard room which Gen. Grant had bullt while President. The conservatory, when completed, will connect directly not only with the corri- dor, but with the state dit -room, which will add much to the yas effect when banquets are given in the latter, and the door leading to the conservatory is leftopen. Du her resi- dence at the White House, Mrs. Hayes has caused more of the fund appropriated annually to be spent on the Executive Mansion to be used in improving the garden and conservatory than for less permanent ornaments. Senator Morrill, of Vermont, and his wife and her sister, Miss Swann, expect to salt for Earope July 3d, to remain until autumn. Mrs. Morrill and Miss Swann will leave Washi a for Burlington, Vt., on May 3ist, to attend the | renee ceremonies at the college where Mrs. Morrill’s son is a student.

Y.. yesterday, but adhered to his revious assertions. Prof. Greener being asked he had any reasonable suspicion in regard to any one who might be concerned in this affair, he replied that he had, and would give his infor- mation to Whittaker’s counsel. Being asked If it would be advisable to call Lieuts. by and Taber, he said it would be advisable to call the latter only. The court then instructed Prot.

HANLAN AND COURTNEY. SKETCHES OF THE CONTESTANTS. THE POTOMAC COURSE. THE CROWD IN THE CITY. The city was alive last night with betting men, who came here to see the Hanlan-Courtney race and the horse races, and with people who came for the same purpose, but who were not on betting intent. The boat race overtopped everything else, But very few pools were sold on the horse races of to-day. The sellers had all they could do to offer BETS ON HANLAN AND COURTNEY and accept the bets. The pools sold were largely in favor of Hanlan. Two to one in his favor was acommon sale; one hundred to fifty was prevalent, and several pools sold at 200 to 76 ia Hanlan’s favor. Willard Hall was where the liveliest pool selling prevailed. The hall was crowded. Most of those present were profes- sional sports. There wasa sprinklingor the amateur man,who bets more for the excitement than anything else, but the sports ruled the ranch. To the student of human nature it would have presented an interesting study. But very few students of human nature were abroad last night. It was ed up or shut Pan ne could by a glance tell the character ofthe crowd. The outside element was distin- guished by a certain air of bearing not possess- ed by the Washington sport. The nonchalant manner in which pools were bought and paid for by men who it would be supposed by ap- pearances could not raise more than a dollar and a half was surprising and tnspiriting. HANLAN CONFIDENT OF WINNING. Neither Hanlan nor Courtney appeared at pool-selling places. The STaR reporter met the former as he came out of Willard’s Hotel about half past nine. For the first time since he has been here he expressed his confidence in win- ning the race. Heretofore he has contented himseli with saying that he would pull to win. He refused upon earnest sclicitation of a party from the pool-room to go Into Willard Hall. He said people who wanted to bet could do so with- out his presence. It was noticed last night that despite the large odds against him, Courtney’s friends evinced no alacrity in putting up their money. THE POOL-SELLING THIS MORN There was not as much life in pool-selling this morning on the race as there was last night. A pretty brisk business was done, how- ever. The pools sold were on the average of 100 to 35 in Hanlan’s favor. A new feature in bet- ting cropped in about 12 o'clock. Folks then began to bet on the possibility of Courtney's starting. A good many bets were made on this point. “No odds were given, but there wasa good deal of even betiing forand against Court- eys appearance and start. The City 11 of Visitors. The trains last night were loaded with vis!- tors to Washington to see the race. All the hotels are filled. Willard’s and the National particularly are crowded. Every train that comes in to-day brings hundreds. Mr. Harris, the clerk at Willard’s,is a good judge of a crowd. Hesaid to THE Srar reporter this morning there were more visitors in Washington than had been here for along time. The hotel lobbies were filled this morning with all classes of humanity. The betting men are here in force. Mr. Harris says that he never saw asmany peoplein Wash- ington on any occasion other than a_presiden- Ual inauguration, Hanlan’s friends to-day seemed to have more ready money than Court- ney’s, and they put it up, too. Mr. Coulson, Hanlan’s immediate backer, made one bet of 33,000 to $1,000 this morning at Willard’s. He was willing, he sald, to put all he had on the Canadian. <A crowd of 300 got in this morning from Toronto—all Hanlan men. Three hundred and fitty people also ar- rived from Norfolk. One could tell at a glance who were the sporting men and who were merely lookers-on. One chief characteristic of the looker-on was that he carried an opera or field glass. The sport did not care particularly whether he saw all the race or not. He only wanted to put up his money on his favorite, VISITORS FROM RICHMOND. A special train of seven cars arrived this af- ternoon from Richmond, and the local trains, both north and south, arrived with large crowds, Among the arrivals this morning was Barney Aaron and twenty-one others, who made close connection from Buffalo, where the Goss and Ryan prize fight did not come off. CALLING ON THE PRESIDENT. There is abroad in the land a national desire to see the President of the United States. The visitors here to the race took advantage of their proximity to the Chief Magistrate to surround the White House this morning. The President received all cordially and shook hands with each and every one who desired it. The Two Men. The two men who row the race for the Hop Bitters prize of $6,000 to-day are Edward Haalan of Toronto, Canada, and Charles E. Courtney of Union Springs, New York. The former keeps a public house opposite Toronto and does a big business, to which his name as an oarsman largely adds. The latter is a carpenter, and runs a planing mill at Union Springs. He does a thriving business. Hanlan was born July 12th, 1855, and May be said to have been almost born in a boat. At the age of 314 years he rowed across Toronto bay, a good trip for a boy of 13 or 14. In some sixty-five races, both on amateur and professional water, he literally swept the course. He kas also defeated Hawdon of Eag- land and Elliott, the champion sculler of Queen Victoria’s realm. Courtney has teen a prominent character in American boating sine he was a boy. He was born in 1849. He has always been. ele tee and has done much for Cornell University in her inter-collegiate interests. At twenty-one he was the acknowledged champion of America. With Hanlan over the border, a Canadian phenome- hon, and Courtney this side, an American won- der, it was natural that a race should be talked of between the two. Out of this feeling fol- lowed THE RACE OVER THE LACHINE COURSE, at Montreal, Canada. This contest was nip and tuck into the very finish, when Hanlan came in leader by less than a boat's length. It was charged—and from the charge Courtney gained much of his reputation for unreliability—that he was in the hands of men who made him lose the race for his and their pecuniary benefit. Some affidavits were, however, produced from the men with whom he was supposed to be in col- league, denying the charge. Hanlan’s success in England followed the Lachine affair. Conrt- hey, shortly after Hanlan’s return from Eng- land, rowed a race for $500 on Silver Lake, New York, with Riley, who came here to make up a contest in case either Hanlan or Courtney Should be found in the delinquent column. Courtney beat Riley easily. A THE CHATAUQUA FIASCO. Then arose a demand for a race between Hanlan and Courtney—a demand for a square and fair contest. The Hop Bitters company offered a prize of $6,000 for the winner in such a race, The race was to be on Chatauqua lake, New York. On the morning of the event Court- ney’s boats were cut, so as to preclude a race, Hanlan, with the sagacity of the professional puller, Tefused to consent to a postponement. nder the agreement he was right, and, at the order of the referee, Mr. Blaikie, he rowed over the course alone, making the five miles in 33 minutes and 564 seconds, beating the then fastest Ume on record by a minute and 134 sec- onds. The Hop Bitters company refused to pay the money unless both men pulled. Finally, after much delay and much visiting of different courses, Washington and to-day were fixed upon as the course and time, and the Hop Bit- ters’ prize the objegt to be rowed for, with Riley in in case of the’ failure of either Hanlan or Courtney. DESCRIPTION OF THE MEN, Courtney 1s a large, wider and broader man than Hanlan. He is nearly six feet one inch in height; Hanlan is shorter and smaller. He is all a bunch of muscle, hes and {sin splen- did condition. Hanlan is in superb form. ae stroke of ee Fosd men fs ir. They ive both been ve training for the two months. Lis ‘The Course. ‘The course of to-day’s race was most accu- rately surveyed by Mr. Brewer. As a full five- mile pull, with a turn at 2% miles, it is abso- Tutely accurate. The course at Lachine over which Hanlan made his.big pull of five miles Was not as accurately determined as the Poto- mac course. The start of the race to-day is from a point slightly over a hundred yards below the Aqueduct-bridge, somewhat near the Georgetown bank of the river. A half a mile further down it changes direction by an angle of 135 degrees; from there to the turning buoy (about a quarter of a mile above Long Bridge) the course Is straight away. The Virginia shore undoubtedly has an advantage, but it is very slight, experienced men admit. in the race each oarsman crossed the channel twice in polng, to the ue Dead and twice in return- ing to the starting boat. Ready for the Race. Mr. Blaikie last night sent a note around to both Hanlan and Courtney asking if they would be on hand at the starting point this afternoon at 4.30 o'clock and would row. The replies were both emphatically affirmative. To- day there has been no talk about the race being a failure. The only point in doubt was who would win. One of the last arrangements for the contest was made this morning by Lieut. ‘Max Wood, which was mentioned in last night's Star. Lieut. Wood took the Fanny Gilbert and by ropes and buoys enclosed the start and finish of the race. He also buoyed off boats where the angle of the course trends, All of the officials of the race were on hand to-day: Wm. Blaikie, referee; E. H. Rankin, of the Boston Herald, judge for Courtney; David Ward, of Toronto, judge for Hanlan, and Sam’l «Hammond and J. B. Eustis, time keepers. The outfit of Mr. Hammond is extensive and bewil- dering. If he don’t keep the time with his ex- tensive preparation it will be because there w: no time to keep. THE MEN AND BOATS IN ORDER. Mr. Carr, of Courtney's party, went over to the Potomac boat house this morning. He tixea up Courtney’s race boat, oiling the rowlocks, and cleaning her off generally. Hanlan went over to the Analostan boat house this morning and fixed his boat for the race, He did not go on the water, but returned to Willard’s where he remains quietly, seeing but few persons. Tie feels in perfect trim, and says that he is not trained too Tine as a betting rumor has it. THE ARTICLES OF AGREEMENT signed by Charles E. Courtney, March 17, 1830, James H. Riley, March 20, 15s0, and Edward Hanlan, March 25, 1880, set forth that at the suggestion and request of Mr. Hanlan and his advisors (at a meeting in Toronto, Ont., March 13, 1880,) all articles, transactions, claims and matters relating to the purse should be cancel- ed and void from that date, the $6,000 to be posited with Wm. Blaikie, of New York, who should be referee, in a draft paves to his or- der in place of the certificate of deposit; Biaikie to pay over the sald $6,000 draft, or the avails thereof, to whichever oarsman he decided to be the winner of a five-mile single-scull race, two and one-half miles out and return, in boats to be rowed under and in accordance with the rules of the National Amateur Rowing Associa- tion; the referee to have full charge and control of flagging the course, arranging the details and management of the race; the race to be rowed y Eaward Hanlan, of Toronto, Ont., and Chas. E. Courtney, of Union Springs, New York, hon- estly and fairly, and to the best of their powers and abilities, On the 19th day of May, 15s), be- tween the hours of 2 and 5 p. m., at Washing: ton, D. C., or at such other time thereafter as the referee should select. In case that either Courtney or Hanlan failed to be ready to row at the time and place of the race, then James H. Riley, of Saratoga, N. Y., to take the place of the failing party, and row in the race, with all the rights, privileges and benefits of the terms and conditions of the race; and if both Court- ney and Hanlan failed to be ready to row, then some other first-class oarsman to row with Riley uncer the same conditions. Riley to receive $500 (now in the hands of the referee for that purpose) for his expenses in getting ready for or rowing in the race if required to. All dona- tions , contributions and receipts, from what- ever source, to go to the three oarsmen for ex- penses. Surveying and flagging the course, ex- penses of referee and other expenses of the race to be paid by the oarsmen jointly. Courtney has a Bad Headache. Last evening about 9 o'clock it was notsed abroad that Courtney had gone sick. This re- port went among the pool buyers and doubtless caused the long odds in favor of Hanlan. Court- ney was sick, and this morning kept his room at the Riggs House. He took a long pull yes- terday morning of eight miles. Thesun poured down on him and it was fearfully hot. In the afternoon he began to complain of a pain in his head. Last evening Te Stak reporter was told by one of his friends that he had a most tortur- ing headache in the forehead. A doctor visited him and attended to him. This morning the reporter approached Mr. Lowery, one of those who came here with Courtney. “How Is he to-day?” asked THE STaR man, “He has an awful headache yet.” “Can I see him?” “You cannot. He is ia his room and will not see any one.” “Can he pull?” “The headache is against him, but he will be at the starting point and will put out. He would be there if he were dying.” DR, STANTON INTERVIEWED. Dr. Stanton is Courtney’s physician. He visited him this morning. As he came out ot the hotel THE Stak man intercepted him. “How is Courtney?” asked the reporter. “Tcan’t tel; you will have to ask his friends. They will tell you exactly.” “But they will not tell me exactly,” rejoined the SraR man, “I do not think that I_am authorized to say car I don’t think I should.” “But I must have something in the shape of information,” said the reporter, as_he hung on. “Well, I will say this much, and it conveys the true condition of affairs. I tell you that Courtney is in fine condition.” STREET TALK. The illness of Courtney has, with his pre- vious record, recalled all that 1s dubious about him, lany people claim that the race has been thrown; that while Courtney will appear and lanlan jae that it is already fixed that Hi will be the winner. On the other hand, others who curse Courtney, say that the donors of the prize do not think they have had enough advertsing to pay for the $6,000 put up, and that itis arranged that the race shall be postponed for more free advertising. This was one of the great reasons advan upon the memorable occasion when Courtney’s boats were sawed. Referee Blaikie does not take elther view. He sald this morning that Courtney would be in excellent condition this afternoon. There would be a genuine race, he said, and the best man would win, he thought. COURTNEY SAYS HE WILL starr. Courtney, who had taken a good breakfast about 9:30 o'clock, was subsequently seen by THE STAR man, but did not want to talk. He sald that he was going out at the hour and would pull his best; that when he laid down the vain in his head disappeared, but when he sat up lines of pain shot through his forehead. He said emphatically that he would start, how- ever. COURTNEY BETTER AND SAYS THE RACE WILL BE A CLOSE ONE. At 1 o'clock Courtney said that there would be arace this afternoon between himself and Hanlan, if the latter did not fail to come to Ume. He expressed the opinion that the race would be a very close one. “I am going to row,” he said, “and am going to do some good rowing, too.” The pains in his hi about disappeared. He fears the effect of the sun, however. Mr. Soule, of the Hop Bitters Company, has seen both men and ar for @ postponement of the race until later in the evening. Hanlan’s party consented to a post- ponement, and Courtney’s friends were di us of the race being put off till the sun was lower than at 4:30.

THE CROWDED STREET CARS. The rush towafds Georgetown commenced directly after noon, and the street cars, as the hour approached, were totally inadequate to haul the passengers. ly was this the case with the avenue line, and the crowd at 7th street at times numbered hundreds waiting for an opportunity to get aboard. The cars at that point were crowded to their utmost capacity, the sides and to) covered, and in some instances the drivers were forced to straddle the dashers to keep their places, THE RUNNING RACES. NATIONAL FAIR ASSOCIATION. BRILLIANT EVENTS OF TWO DAYS. THE WINNERS TO-DAY. Yesterday’s Races. There was an immense crowd at the second day’s races of the National Fair Association yes- terday afternoon. Many ladies were on the grana stand. The quarter stretch was crowded, and the betting lively. Good horses were in the races, and the track in excelient condition. THE FIRST RACE was the Mount Vernon stakes of $25 each, play or pay, for fillles and mares of all ages that never won a sweepstake, weight for age, one and a quarter miles.

Down the stretch Mystery went to the front and they passed the stand in the following or- der: Mystery, Fiddlestring, Flora A., Baby, Lu- cia, derella and Dawn. On the upper turn Baby went up tothe third place and Cinderella to the fourth, and without further Kea they passed the quarter pole. Mystery held her ad- vantage down the back stretch and into the lower turn, but before reaching the half mile Baby made her effort for the race and had second place, Lefore reaching the three quar- ter pole she went to the front, with Cinderella at her flank and Dawn close up. Through the homestretch to the finish the running was fine, but Baby came home a winner by two lengths ahead of Cinderella second, Dawn third, Mys- tery fourth, Fiddlestring fifth and Flora A. last. Time 2:12. THE BRIGHTON HOTEL CUP RACE Was the second event. It was one and a-half toiles, for all ages, $25 entrance, play or pay.

Down the back-stretch Checkmate moved forward. They ran around the turn, Monitor still leading, with Werter second and Checkmate third, all close together, and the others ten lengths in the rear. Assoon as the thi juarter pole was. Checkmate made a bi of speed and went to the front and galloped to the finish, beating Monitor two Jengths, who was six lengths ahead of Werter third, and Ciyde Hampton and Ingomar follow- ing some ten and fifteen lengths respectively in therear. Time, 2: THE THIRD RACE was mile heats for all ages that had never won a race of heats; purse, $350 for the first horse, and $50 for thesecond. The starters were: Glen- dalia, Suananoa and Eunice. The start was good, Glendalia getting off first, with Suananoa second and Eunice last. Down the homestretch Eunice went forward and captured both her competitors, finishing the heat six lengths ahead of Suananoa, who was six lengths ahead ofGlendalia. For the second heat Giendalia Was away first, with Suananoa second Eunice last. Down the homestretch Suananoa ran well and though Eunice pushed hard for the score, Suananoa finished three-quarters of a len ahead of Eunice, who was five lengths ah Glendalia. For the third heat Suananoa was first off, and at the quarter she was one length ahead. Both ran easy down the backstretch, and at the half-mile there was only a half length on the lower turn, Suananoa showed daylight in front of Eunice, and in that order they ran to the three-quarter pole. Down to the finish there was no change until Eunice came inside the furlong pole, when she made a dash, but failed, and Suananoa won by a half length. Time, 1:45, 1:50, 1: THE STREPLE CHASE. The closing event of the day, and one of its most enlivening and thoroughly appreciated contests, Was the grand steeplechase, for $150 for the first, $100 to the second and $50 for the third horse. Reed had two entries, his horse Dispute, and the bay mare Faustina. The others were R. Bradley's Starlight and W. C. Daly’s b. m. Jessie D. The race began way over inthe field to the north and east of the club-house, the horses being started down in a hollow. Reed’s horses sold for $50 against the field for $20. Jessie D. at the word jumped to the front like a hare, but in her excitement she missed the first stone wall, necessitating a turn round and going over it. While this was made the other horses had gone away along and had reached and cleared two of the walls. Starlight led the chase, followed well by Reed’s horses. Jessie D. continued to act badly, and after clearing the fourth wall lost her lead entirely, and insisted on leaping over the fence on to the track, The other three did the rest of their work ina prompt manner, and finally, when they got back on the track, and began the wind up, a race that has seldom been surpassed in in- terest ensued. It was apparent, owever, tO the knowing ones that the Reed stable had the best of it, as the result showed, Dispute coming in a couple of lengths in the lead, Faustina second, Starlight third. .No time was taken.

The Rush to the River. As early as 1 o'clock people began to flock | to the river front. They went on foot, tn street | cars, and in all manner of conveyances, At? | o'clock people were hanging by their eyelids to the street_cars, which were hot, crowded and dusty. The up-town hotel lobbies at half- past two o'clock were hardly bearable. You could hardly get aiong in them. Very few people knew of the Postponement of the race to 5:30, They were on the river side or rapidly getting there. There they sweltered and denounced the managers of the race for not starting on time. There was never a race in this country witnessed by more people than the contest this evening attracted to the banks of the Potomac. As a geueral rule the stores n to close at two o'clock, All department clerks who wanted to witness the race were allowed a teave after 12 or 1 o'clock. Nearly all of them left. ALL RIGHT FOR THE RACE. Shortly before the race, Referee Blaikie went over the course. “Every flag ts in position ex- actly; everything is all right. Iam perfectly satisfied,” he said. The postponement of the race was a disappointment to the many who were not cognizant of It. They were on hand in time and ahead of time. The circulation of ‘THE STAR along the river banks was the first notification that most of those assembled there at 4 o'clock had of the postponement. Animated Scenes on and About the River. The river was crowded with small craft banked along the shores. The big steamers, with spectators on board, hugged the shore, as directed by Mr. Blaikie. There was intense excitement. The stands along both sides of the | river were crowded. There was no vacancy | anywhere, cramped from being long in one position, and changed the dull look of the stands. A the heights around, every elevation, every spot trom which a glimpse of the race could be had, was occupied. As far as the eye could see there was one black mass of humanity. The roofs of | all houses within eye distance were ked. The word packed should be applied to everything connected with the race from a sight-seeing standpoint. It seemed as If ail the world and his wife were out. The variety and number of vehicles that carried out folks was unlimited. WHEN THE REFEREE'S BOAT STARTED frcm the wharf a shout started from thespecta- tors near by. It was taken up, and went along the banks of the river to the crowded Aqueduct above, apd to the no less crowded Long bridge below. The police boats were on hand, and did good work in keeping the course clear. The crowds in the big steamers rusked to the side of view, and the boats keeled over very perceptibly. All manner of crafts, all manner of people and all manner of costumes were there. THE LADIES were profuse in the use of fans and handker- chiefs. It would be impossible to tell how many people were at the race. There certainly were not less than thirty thousand. None of the stands,even with the aid of opera or fleld glasses, gave a full view of the course. On the stands those in front would get up, and, as could be ‘seen from the boat, thus obstructed the view of those behind them. The members of the Cab!- net were on the steamer Gedney. There was Every once in a while somebody, | ®3 rose u}c always dropped his head. Hanlan turned the ‘Stake-Doat in 19:26, and pulled back at umes leisurely; at others doing good work. He pulled over the finishing ihe in 36.4625 from the start. Referee Blaikie as his boat passed Courtney doggedly paddling home, and asked him if there was any- ‘Ubing the matter with him. He replied “yes.” COURTNEY DID NOT GO TO THE FINISHING BOATS, but paddled into the Potomac boat-house amid silence. Hanlan was cheered as he paddied home, Mr, Blaikie says Courtney was really sick, ‘This 1s the opinion of most people, Otmers say that It was thrown. Others hold that Courtney naturaily bas no grit, and Was too much afraid to row. Hanlan was declared winner and will get the $6,000, There isa feeling of disgust over the whole matter. Nothing ever panned out so little that gave such great promise, Riley paddied over the course about one hun- dred yards ahead of the contestants. RAUM’S SPEECH. SPRINGFIELD, I11., May 19.—The city ts over Whelmed with visitors fo the state convention, the largest attendance ever known on similar occasions. As but 660 visitor's tickets could be issued thousands were unable to get admission ‘o the hail of the house of representatives. Members of the state central committee who distributed the tickets, have been besieged all day, and the corridors’ of the state house have ‘n packed with anxtous throngs vainly seek- ing admission. All congressional districts ex- cept the first three, held consultations durt the forenoon to select_ members of the commit tee on credentials. In several districts dele- sates were also selected. The convention was called to order promptly at noon, by the Hon. A.M. Jones, chairman Of the state central com- mittee. Prayer was offered by the Rev. Robt. Nourse, of Springfield.

Hanlan pulled out from the Analostan boat- house and paddled to his starting boat amid cheers dll along the shore and water. He Weighed in his boat i453 pounds. His boat Was the cedar, George Warren, which he brought with him from Toronto, She measures 30 feet 6 Inches in length with a beam of 114, inches. ‘She sat the water like a duck and responded most readily to the magic touch of his spruces. | She weighed not quite 2s pounds, RUMORS ABOUT COURTNEY. There were rumors enough about Courtney during the day, but about 2 o'clock they began to fly thick and fast. One had it that he was suffering with the diarrhova, another that bf was flat of his back, unconscious, Both o these rumors were untrue. One was print- ed in New York, having been _ tele- graphed from here and caused quite a consternation among the sporting men there. Courtney had a slight headache at three o'clock, with a little Tever. Referee Blaikie asked Mr. Carr, one of Courtney's Immediate friends, how he was. The reporter was pres- sent: “He will be at the start, and will end.’ ou say that in fall asked Blaikte, “I do. I swear it if that is necessary. He will eat his dinner in a few minutes. He ts going to row, and row well.” COURTNEY AND HIS BOAT. Courtney, when he paddled from the Potomac boat house to the starting point, was lustily cheered. He was in a paper shell, built by Waters, of Troy, expressly for this race, She was not named. She measured in length $1 feet 6 inches. Her beam was 114 inches, and her weight slightly over 29 pounds. It 18 the intention to give the boat the name (Spofford) of the proprietor of the Riggs House, where Courtney puts up, if he wins. In case of vic- tory for Courtney, Mr. Spofford will have the boat taken to his hotel and suspended from the celling in the dining-room. Courtney weighed tn his boating clothes 165; pounds.
