The ninth annual regatta of the National Association of Amatéur Oarsmen closed last evening with A series of races that have never been excelled by any gathering of oarsmen, The second edition of Tite Star last evening, fesued immediately after the winner of the last race Was announced. contained a full summary of the day’s sport. The day was an unfortunate one for the Canadian oarsmen, who were such favorites among the betting men. The District had a representation in one race only—the eight-oared shell race—and fared but little better than on the preceding ev¢r put out an “eight,” and when it is consid- ered that the Potomac eight were pitted against | an old and famous organization like the Narra- gansetts, the defeat by three or four lengths is not at all discreditabie. The pair oared shell | Face—the first race on the program—was the only one in which any serious mishap occurred. At the three-quarter mile flag the Albanys, in | attempting to pull through between the Ariel and Mutual, fouied the latter, and were disqual- ifted. Both got away, however, and pulled for the finish. only to crowd into the Ariel, who, in turn, fouled the Detroits, and were dis- | qualified. The Detroits were awarded the jTace in 9:33. Mutuals second, 9:4134. | The six-oared race was won by the Eureka six in 8:21g; Shawmut second, 8:29. The junior singles Was won by O'Brien, of Boston, in 9:423¢; Appley, of Pawtucket, second, 9:443/." The sen- ior singles was won by Holmes, of Pawtucket, in 9.0634; Buckley second, 9:10. Laing, the Ca— nadian. who was the favorite, steered wildly over the whole course, and was completely dis- tanced at the finish. The Hillsdales, the cham- pions of two former regattas, won the four- oared race easily, amid great cheering, in 8:0634, cutting down their unprecedented time of the preceding day by 143% seconds. The Minnesotas were second, in 8:21; the Eliza- beths, of Portsmouth, being 20 lengths behind. Holmes and Appley, of Pawtucket, won the | double sculls, in 8:3934. closely pushed by the Davis brothers, of New York, in 8:42; the Albany double finished third, and the Hamilton, Canada, doubles a bad fourth. In this race, | also, the Canadians lost by wild stecring. The eight-oared shell race, which finished the re- | gatta, being a novelty on the Potomac, excited much interest. The race was very evenly contested and won by the Narragansetts, in 7:5i}4; Metro- politans 2d, 7:56'g; Potomaes 3d, 8:07. As soon as the races were over the oarsmen repaired at onee to their boat houses, and by invitation of the Analostan and Columbia crews, went on an excursion down the river on the steamer W. W. Corcoran, returning to the city about 11 o'clock. THE PRIZES PRESENTED TO-DAY. The concluding ceremony of the ninth an- nual regatta—the presentation of prizes—took place at ten o'clock this morning in the re- ception room of the Arlington hotel. Nearly all of the oarsmen who have not eft the city, and allof the members of the executive committe | and the local committee were there asseinble | The challenge cup, medats and banners, were displayed on a large table. Secretary Saunier | called the assembly to order with a few congrat- | | ulatory remarks. "Mr. Gartield, treasurer of tne | executive committee, stated that the committee had passed resolutions of thanks to the local comunittee of arrangements, the Columbia and | | Analoston boat clubs, and the citizens of Wash- ton. He did not think that in all the regattas, from the beginning of the existence of the asso- | tion, the oarsmen had ever received more courteous treatment than here. There was less | friction in the arrangement, and_ the | | spirit of courtesy had extended even to the captains of vessels on the river, who had in all cases complied instantly and most willingly and graciously with the reauests of the referee. The committee were thoroughly satis- fied with the arrangements, pite the | that one of the local papers had seen fit to | parage them. They had a fine course and a hearty reception, and it was the wish of the | oarsmen, in the course of years to return here | again. Gen. J. Hale Sypher was then introduced de a presentation speech, congratulating the Association upon the regatta which had been £0 creditable to themselves and to the country. ‘The prizes were then presented to the oarsmen in the following order: Junior single sculls, medal to O’Brien, of Dolphin, Boston; senior inzle sculls, medal to Hoimes, of Pawtucket, | R.L; pair-oared, medals and cup, to Clegg and Standish, of Detroit: doubie sculls, medals, cup | and banner, to Holmes and Appley, of Paw: | tucket.

He alluded to the great national | catamity—the Chief Magistrate of the country | haying been stricken down at the point of death. | This had thrown a cloud over everything. The | local committee have felt the embarrassment | most keenly. They had labored against this difficulty, and they and the association had | achieved a great succe: With this speech the ceremony of presentation | | was ended, and the oarsmen disper | THE HILLSDALES TO GO ABROAD. | Allof the members of the National Associa- | tion feel proud of the performances of the Hills- | dale crew. There is no jealousy on that point. | “Weare going to make a national thing of it.” | said President Remington to a Star reporter to-day, speaking of the Hillsdale four, “and send them abroad. You can make a note of that if you like. We want to send these fellows across the water. Our committee has decided | to send circulars to all the clubs of the associ- | ; ation asking them to contribute to send the crew over.” Like the Shoe-wae-cae-mettes?” the reporter. | “Yes. Only the Shoe-wae-cae-mettes went o their own account. We intend to send thes ‘men. Why, these are the fellows that killed the suggested | Shoe-wae-cae-mettes. They introduced the style | of rowing with a quick, short stroke. People | have an idea that because they come from the | west that they are log-rollers or wood-choppers. Why. one of them is in a post office: another is | in a grocery store, and they all do light work. | You should have seen them when they first ap- | at Saratoga, three years ago.

When they came upto the start the referee said ‘these men have lots of gall to come | up here with such oarsmen as the Shoe-wae-cac- mettes, the Elizabeths, and the Wah-wah-sums.” Welle their oars were old and pence together with tin. The word was given. These boys | | held their own. Presently they made it so hot | that the others lost their heads, and there was a. | grand foul at the finish. The Shoe-wae-cae- | mettes were disqualified,and the referee ordered | | the race to be rowed over in three hours. The | Hillsdales went away and ate a hearty dinner. | When the three hours were up they came run- | ning down to their boat with pieces of pie in | their hands, eating as they ran. Well, they left them all behind.” A Stan reporter asked Van Valkenburgh, the sturdy stroke of the Hillsdale four, how he { liked the course. “Oh, it’sa good course. The | only trouble was that it was hard to steer over ! replied the oarsman. ‘Did your crew suffer with the heat?” No, we did not care much about it. We haye had pretty hot weather all along up in Michigan. It was pretty hard on the Canada people, however.” THE NEXT REGATTA. All of the oarsmen write in praises of the Potomac course. Mr. Wm. H.

Now, in Detroit, the current runs three miles an hour, and, of course, the time is very fast. On dead water again the time would be slower.” “What are the chances of having the regatta here again?” “The association will certainly come here again. Next year we expect to have it in De- troit. We expect it there once every five years, and next year fs the fifth year.” President Remington says the only fault with tl that the oarsmen were yp oes steer out of the course by following the instead of the line of flags.

Some time during Thursday night, the rail- road depot of the Metropolitan branch at Rock- ville, Md., was broken into by professional cracksmen, as stated in the special dispatch in the second edition of Tne Star lgst evening, and robbed of the iron safe, which was taken out of the building and carried about half a mile into a cornfield, where it was blown open and rifled of its contents. It was probably after 12 o’clock when the job was done, as the depot does not close until near midnight. The thieves first broke into a carpenter shop and stole a bit, with which they bored holes through the window frame and unfastened it, by which means they entered the depot. They also broke into @ blacksmith shop and stole a heavy sledge ham- mer, probably with the view that it would be wanted in opening the safe. There were two safes used in the depot, one containing money and the other railroad tickets. The one contain- ing the money was carried out of the door (opened from the inside) by means of a common hand-truck, and into the place where it was found yesterday morning in the cornfield. It ap- pears the burglars did not use the sledge ham- mer upon it, as it had been blown open with gunpowder. There was only about $25 in it, which of course was taken. The other safe, con- taining the railroad tickets, was carried from the back into the front room and left there, no attempt having been made to open it. The burglars then broke into the stables of Mr. Lyd- dane, the grocer, and took his horse and wagon and decamped, no one knows where. —_ The Asphalt Contract Imbroglio. BILL FOR A DISSOLUTION OF PARTNERSHIP—A TEMPORARY ORDER MADE. W. C. Murdock and F. D. Bailey have filed a bill in equity against Wm. Fletcher, sr., and Wm. Fletcher, jr., for dissolution of partnership, injunction, and the appointment of a receiver. The complainants assert that they have per- formed all the requirements of thelr partnership agreement, and charge that the defendants vio- lated the provisions of the paper; that after contracts for street paving had been awarded to them by the District, Fletcher, sr., for the pur- pose of obtaining exclusive control of the same, refused to permit the execution of a paper in regard to a power of attorney to Murdock, or to assent to Murdock’s exercising the powers ne- cessary to secure him for an advance of capital, accompanying this refusal with declarations that he would not allow any man the manage- ment of his money. They therefore pray for an account, &c., and a temporary order was made by Judge Wylie. a Disgraceful Scenes After a Funeral. A SERIES OF ROWS IN WHICH SEVERAL HEADS WERE BROKEN. The colored socicty known asthe Sons and Daughters of Moses had a funeral yesterday and engaged a colored band from South Washington. The band made a lengthy circuit of the city, entertaining the lovers of br inusic, and, of course, drawing a large crowd to fo!low themto. the house where the cor] 1 nd thence to the cemetery. It was quite 7:30 o'clock last evening when the band. with the procession and the multitude of ha rs-on were returning from the Harmonial burying pund, in the northeastern portion of the Dist when they were attacked by a crowd of white roughs, and a lively time was had. This was in Swampoodle. Several sore heads on both sides were the result of this scrimmage. On passing Capitol Hill a sortie was made on the procession by the Bassett alley negroes, and a prolonged fight followed with stones and sticks. It is thought that there must have ¢ isted some old feud between the South Wash- ington band and the Bassett alley colored people, as the fizht was quite bitter, the band being de~ ded by the hangers on. Bassett’s alley is be- and 3d and B and C streets northeast. The white people living in that neighborhood being much alarmed, sent a messenger to Lieut. stin’s station for help, to put a stop to the war. The police ambulance happened to be standing in front of the station house, and Ser- geant Brosnan took a squad, and all jumping in, rude to the scene, when he found some of Lieut. Boteler’s men, of the eighth precinct, had about quelled the row, there being several broken heads on both sides as a result. The fight was azain renewed at. the Club House of the Sonsand Daughters of Moses, on 2d street. between Pennsylvania avenue and South A street. Here the ambulance unloaded thesquad of police and a fight of about an hour foll he police were obliged to use their clubs with vigor and there were some broken batons as well as sore heads. The number of wounded was not ascertained, but many were seen to crawl otf the ground, sae eS The Rockville Fair. THE CLOSING DAY—INTERESTING RACES, ETC.

A Wire BeaTer’s SENTENCE. — Michael Caton, of this place, was before the Police Court, yesterday, on the charge of beating his wife, Rosana Caton. Mrs. Caton testified that her husband has been away from home about two weeks, and about 11 o'clock last’ Wednes- day night he came home and rapped at the door and she went to the door with the map in her hand and smiled when she saw him, and he com- menced striking her on the fave and head, and got her by the hair of the head and pulled her out into the yard and kigked and beat her in as brutal a manner as he could treat the meanest. animal, She showed the court a large bunch of hair, which, she said, he. pulled from her head. The court said that this man was notorious for beating his wife and family, and he would send him to jail for six months, and said that it ought to be a year, and told him to look out for a year the next time. A Nava ENGAGEMENT ON THE POTOMAC occurred in front of the Columbia Boat House about 8 o’clock last night. Isaac Barker, a colored man, had taken his wife and child out in a row boat to view the races, and had also a akeg of beer aboard. At the time mentioned, having absorbed a large quantity of the beer, he began to beat his wife in the boat. The cries of the woman created great excitement for a time, and brought a large namber of boats to her rescue. Barker being surrounded, a naval en- gazement took place, the weapons used being oars, and he only surrendered. after having been hit over the head with one. Officer Robey finally arrested him. He gave as a cause of the disturbance that his wife objected to him kissing a girl good night, of which indiscretion he had been guilty at G street wharf. This morning. in the Police Court, Barker was charged with as- saulting his wife, who testified as to the assault. A young man named Lewis Baker testified that he heard a Weman hallo “murder” in the river, opposite the Columbia boat house, yesterday afternoon, and he jumped into a boat and went to her assistance, and when he attempted to take the child, hich was in great danger of being knocked overboard, Barker attempted to e hin with an oar. The defendant took the Stand and testified that he did not strike his wife, but admitted that he was somewhat intox- icated, they having finished the keg of beer. He was sent to jail for 60 day Tue CaNaL.—Grain—Arrived, boat Walter Thompson, with 2,800 bushels wheat.

To the Editor of The Telegram: Dear Sir:—My attention having been called some time since (by parties who read The Tele- gram regularly) to your generous offer of pub- lishing testimonials of parties effectually treated by Dr. Hartley, of 64 North Greene street, I can- not longer-refrain from adding my name'to the large number already published, and I feel thankful to-day that it was my lot to fall in with the skillful doctor, I tried all kinds of treatment | everything that_any one would recommend— but found vo relief at all, and I earnestly prayed when I went to*bed at night that J might dream of something, if it was my heavenly Father's that would cure ine, but my prayer was not answered in the way that asked, But I thank God it was answered in this way—by hearing par~ ties read in The Telegram of the wonderful skill of Dr. Hartley in the treatment of catarrh, &, Sometimes I imagined I had the consumption, as 1 felt so bad in my head and throat, I called’on the doctor in company with my brother, and after several visits (thanks to his miraculous treatment) I fecl a great deal better, and have the greatest faith that he will ultimatcly make a perfect cure of me, so much so that I urgently request all suffering with this terrible malady to lose no time in making a visit to Dr, Hartley, who will relieve them almost instantly. Respectfully yours, Miss E. Francis. but as she gained so to the Doctor, she add her name to r iaries, We are also glad to hear that Dr. Haytley’s skili_ is not con- fined alone to the city of Baltimore, but that. his patients are from the counties of ia, and through the whom may be met at his office almost daily. Dr. Hartley does not confine himself alone to catarrh, but to all diseases that may have their origin or inner or outcropping of that sou ast, such as noise in the head, deafness, & w that we are verging on'to a when colds, coughs,e., will be all so affected who curse of the human family—catarrh—to call on Dr. Hartley at once, and Verify the old proverb, “a stitch in time saves nine.”—Ep.)
