THE EVENING STAR. PUBLISHED DAILY, Except Sunday, AT THE STAR BUILDINGS, ‘ he Lbening — WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 15, 1883. TWO CENTS. Brilliant Races on the River Last Evening. THE HILLSDALTS WIN THE STAR CUP—THE COLUM- EIA FIGHT BEATRN BY THE METROPOLITANS—7HE PRIZES AWARDED LAST EVENING, The regatta yesterday aiternoon was a complete success. The races were all very interesting and hotly contested. The arrangements were satis- factory and reflect credit upon those who had charge of the management. There was very little delay in starting the races. What little time was lost at the start was made up later and the last race took place upon the schedule time. Mr. J. S. White, of the Rappshannock club, of Fredericks burg, was Invited to be referee, and performed the duties very satisfactorily. THE FIRST EVENT. As stated In yesterday’s StaR the first race (for doubles) was won by Kintuer and Zeigler. At the half mile they had obtained a lead of two lengths and were never headed in the race. At that time they were rowing 8 strokes and Williams and Lake 34. The latter crew here made a spurt and picked up a little, but they could not stay there, and the race was rowed to the finish without any material change, Kinter and Zelzler crossing th Ane in 10:42, about twoand a-halt lengths ahead of Willlams and Lake, who finished eleven sec- onds later, THE JUNIOR SINGLES. ‘The second raco was for the juntor singles. The starters were Cody, of the Metropolitans, of New York; Somers, of the Analostans, and Kear- ney, of the Potomacs. Cody was the favorite. At the word, Kearney got off iirst and went rapidly ahead of Somers, who was soon seen to be out of the race, Cody was not far behind Kearney, and it was a very pretty race for the half mile, when Kearney obtained a length’s lead, rowing 37 strokes to the minute and Cody 34. Cody huzged the Virzinia shore, while Kearney steered out 2nd as soon seen headed for the Maryland shore, steering very wildly. Notwithstanding this he kept his lead, and before Easby’s point was reached had the race well in hand ani gained rapidly. He crossed the line in 19:40; Cody seven S behind in 11:10, and Somers half a dozn lengths behind Cody, THE JUNIOR FOURS. The next race was for juntor fours. The only starters were two crews from the Columbia club. They were: Biue—Coilins, Leach, Krou3e and Rudy, and red—Oids, Fildew, Kerr and Ballan- tyne.’ ‘The reds got off first, rowing at the rate of 43 strokes to the minute, and the blues 40, Before adcz:n strokes had been made Ballantyne, the stroke of the reas, slipped his seat, and, before he could get right, the blitz had a slight iead. ‘The Face Was very élose, tne two crews rowing side by side over nearly the entire course, At the three- quarter mile the blues seemed to get a litte ragged, but they held on bravely and could not be siaken off for along thine, At Easby’s Point the Teds put on a spurt and gulned a lead of a length. Just berore the tlnish they shecred of towards the Maryland shore, going a good deal out of thelr course. If thei opponents had been able to make a good spurt they would probably have crossed the line first, but the pace had Leen } much for them, and when the grand stand Was reached they ceased rowing. The reds won in 10:363¢. THE EIGHT-OARED RACB which followed between the Metropolitans, of New York, and the Columbias, was a beauty. The crews were: Metropolitan—Cody, bow; Sclille, Jackson, Bonham, Nape, Wilson, Kent, and Pilk- ington (stroke), with T. M. McIntyre coxswain; and Columbla—Smith, bow; Brewster, Young, Kondrup, Mackall, Woodward, Wade, and Nute (Stroke), ‘with Capt, Gibson coxswain, After a lalse stirt the two crews got away on even terms, but the Metropolitans soon had a slight advantage, rowing at the rate of 42 and their opponents 40. At the quarter the Metropolitans were leading by about haifa length. They were rowing in mag- niflcent form, and their boat fairly jumped tro: the water at every stroke giveh by tlie eight pow- erful glants. The Columbias, though, were puliing gamely and were in good shape, and it was evi- dent that their powerful rivals could not afford to Jessen their pace a particle. The mlie was reached before they Nad gained a length’s lead, rowing 40 strokes and the Columbias 38. The positions of the boats were not materially changed during the last half imile, and tt was not until the finish was nearly made ‘that there was daylight between the stem of the Metropolitans boat and the bow of te Columblas. ‘The Metropolitans crossed we Une In $:25%, the Columblas only four seconds behind them. DISTRICT SCULLERS, ‘The special race for District scullers came next. The starters were Fisher,of the Potomacs; Somers, of the Analostans, and Lake, of the Columblas. At the start Fisher forged auead, followed by Som- ers, slightly in advance of Lake. at the quarter Fisher led by two lengths. Lake made a good spurt, and .ook second place from Somers, but was unable to hold it. At the three-quarters Somers had again taken second place, and soon had a lead of a Jength anda halt over All this ume Fisher was gaining rapidly at every struke, and was many lengths ahead of his competitors. He was pulling in fine form and steering a beautiful course. ‘The interest centered tn the other two men, Who were mnoking a hard fight for second place. At the mile Lake had lessened the lead a little, but could do no more, and fell back, Somers crossing second. Lake rowed a game face, but ing been weakened by several days sickness, was unable to keep the pace. Fisher finished nearly twenty lengths ahead of the others, in 11:15. THE FOUR-OARED Gis. The next race was for four-oared gigs. The starters were Pennsylvanlas, of Philadelphia; Cockade City, of Petersburg, Va. and the Rich- monds. The Philadclphta boys were the favorites, und large odds Were offered that they would win. ‘he liveliest betting, however, was between the backers of the Cockade City crew and the Rich- monds. At the word the Richmonds took the water first, at a rattling stroke, and within the first hundred yards were leading by a length the Cockade City, who were a little ahead of the Fert? west Cerner Pezasylrania Ave. and 11th 8.47 ‘.

Admiral Rey- nolds {3 at Asbury Mary Beysts at Narragansett Pier, Pennsylvanias, Notwithstanding thelr position, the friends of the Peansy vaniason the tug offered plenty of bets that they would win, without any takers. ‘They were pulling a beutiful stroke and worked like a clock. At the quarter the Cookades were within a half length of the Richmonds, and the Pennsylvanlas within a halt length of the Cockades. ‘The rest of the race was a magnificent struggle. At the half mile the Cock- ades were almost even with the Richmonds, but they could not quite stay there. The Pennsylva- nias were rowing well within themselves, and without quickening their stroke were gaining inch by inch. At tho three-quarters they had passed the Cockades and were almost even with the Rich- monds. At the mile they hada lead of a length over the Richmonds, who were hotly pressed by the Cockades. At Easby’s Point the Pennsylva- nias were two lengths ahead, while the Cockades and the Richmonds were abreast. Before reach- ing the Analostan boat: house the Richmonds made Magnificent spurt and drew away from their ri- Vals, and at the finish led by threc lengths. ‘The Pennsylvanias crossed the line in 9:42, two lengths ahead of the Richmonds. THE SENIOR SINGLE RACE Was a very good one. The starters were Jas. Pilkington, the stroke of the Metropolitan eight; W. C. McKinney, of the Potomacs; P. A. Dempsey, of the Pennsylvania club; Ed. Waterman, of New Orieans, and E. B. Morgan, of New Orleans. Dempsey was decidedly the ‘favorite, and odds were offered on him against the fleld. At the start he jumped away like a flash, followed by McKin- ney and Pilkington. It was Soon evident that the race was between these three, At the half mile Dempsey had a good length’s lead, and McKinney and Pilkington were making a hard fight for second place. At the mile Pitkington had shaken off McKinney and tried to catch Dempsey, but the latter spurted, and gained rapidly et the finish fe peel five lengths ahead of Pilkington, who led McKinney by about a length. Time: Demp- Sey, 10:23; Pilkington, 10:38; McKinney, 10: THE SENIOR FOURS ‘The last race was for sentor fours. There were four entries—the Ottawas, of Canada; Eclipse, of New Orleans; Columbia, of Washington, and the famous Hilisdales, The Columblas were not on hand when the referee's boat returned to the start, and after walting until the time was up, a start was made. The Eclipse crew got away first with a 52 stroke, the Hilisdiles next, rowing 48, the Ottawas third, rowing 44 Within the first hundred yards the Hillsdaies had taken the lead, and were rowing that peculiar quick stroke that seemed to have the power of machinery behind 1t. At the t uarters the Hilisdales led by four lengths, the Eee leading the Ottawas by two lengths. The Hillsdales cross¢d the line with a les six lengths, which they could have in- creased to ten without any trouble. Time—Hilis- dales, 8:40; Eclipse, 8:50. THE PRESENTATION OF PRIZES, In the evening a large crowd gathered at the Riggs house, where the presentation of prizes took place, Commissioner West made a short but happy address, and afterwards presented the riges to the victors with ‘te remarks, , in ting the * STAR” cup to the ‘Hill he said:—* It we not be courteous .y in parting with this fal hy, cOn~ by an en ing of city, to appointment attends its sursender, Huds compen. ent sttion in the thought that of it was strenuously contested for dearly. and ‘that you carry it away with you coupled i ht You over every inch of the cours? for the prize we now surrender.” In accepting the cup Mr. Terwilliger satd that he hoped his crew would be able to return next year. After the exercises the remeinder of the evening was spent in mutual enjoyment, and everybody had a good tim. THE SCEN¢S ON THE RIVER during the regatta were very interesting. The river shore was alive with people from the start to the finish, At the finish, steamboats and barges were moored and a fleet of small boats kept the water In a constant ripple. The Analostan boat house presented a very attractive site with Its crowded balconies. Littleft-1d’s wharf, at the foot of 26th street, was a most eligible place for view- ing the race, ‘and the shipping and buildings there were crowded with spectators. Most of the ves- els along the river were decked with flags. WHEN THE FLATS ARE FILLED. The only complaint heard about the national course, over which the races of yesterday’s regatta were rowed, came from the spectators, who deemed it a fault in the course that only a portion ofarace could be seen by spectators at any one Point. |The bend at Easby's point cut oft the view. When the work of filling the flits is completed it 4s thought a straight course will be afforded along the iine of the bulshead, and that the races can be followed, as they are on other courses. Wall Strect ‘To-day. THE BULLS TO THE FRONT AGAIN—WHAT WASHING- TON DEALERS SAY. “It iooks a little bullish thts morning,” said a stock operator toa STAR man, as_he rubbed his chin thoughtfully and watched the nimble fingers of the boy chalk down the latest quotations from New York on the board. “There Is the Oregon Transcontinental up to 63; yesterday It was 56. New Jersey Central 1; going. up and Northern Pacific 13 stronger thts woru- ing.” STRONGER AND STEADIER. “The market sstronger and steadler to-day, chimed tn a gentieman who was sitting near and apparently absorbed in the eights and halves and quarters that ran tn lopg narrow rows down the oad. “I wonder how our bear friends fecl this morn- ing.” said one of the group after a pause. “I don’t know, I ain sure,” was the laughing re- sponse, “I haven't seen them around tis morn- a? ‘The market was evidently fecling the influen of the general impression that It was a vood time to buy, and the advance in prices showed tuat the bull influence was predominating. A BEAR WHO CAN'T SEE IT. “You always notice,” growled a bear, “that @ decline in prices follows an advance, This 1s only temporary. When the buyers exceed the sellers then the market ts bound to come down, and that Is what will happen before long.” Others took a_more buoyant view of the situa- ton, und expressed the belief thatin the rece: flurry the bottom had been reached; that sto With fictitious values had recelved ‘a check, and that the market Was again on a sound basis, RELIEF FOR SHAKY FIRMS. “Will there be any mote failures among the stock jobbers?” asked THE Stax man of a well- posted deater. “Not as long as this rise continues. While Stocks are going up there Js no call for margin: and the dealers are safe, But when the stocks begin to go down those that are ‘long’ are apt to be pinched. Ihave no doubt,” he conttued, * that good many of the New ¥ shiky condition, and it 7 there would be a good u now It see 5 niinue Just The Bremer. Pension Case. THE CHARGES AGAINST THE BEALLS DIsM! COMMISSIONER BUNDY. To-day United States Commissioner Bundy ren- dered his decision inthe case of Alpha B. Beall, charged with having taken an excessive fee for procuring a pension for Mrs. Christina Bremer (under section 5,485 R.S,), which has been before him for twoor three days past. Tae commis- stoner satd: “Ihave looked at thiscase in the light of the evidence in two different views, and have come to the same concluston in both, to wit: that no offense has been proven against this de- fendant. The statute punishes the wrongful with- holding of a pension of any part thereor froin the pensioner by any person instrumental In prosecu- Ung thesame, The defendent was, accordinz to the evidence, in part instrumental in prosecuting this pension? at least, he had an active agency In procuring the same, althoush he bore a subordl- Date part, thus’ falling into the tategory of persons thterdicted by this act, and the inquiry arises did he, according to the evidence, wrougtaliy withhold Mrs. Bremer’s pension or any’ part there- of. The uncontradicted evidence is that on. Ut 14th of August, 1830, the defendant with othe went with the penstoner to the Central Natlonal Bank, where, she having her pension check, the ame was properly endorsed, witnessed, &c., When ¢ Was pald by the bank, the pensioner taking $490 of the currency, and depostting the remainder to her credit in the bank. The defendant received nted at the same bank and pall for $758.13, ‘h 1 18 supposed—{not elearly proven) —repre- the sum paid to thedefendant. Let us look d'see 1f upon the theory that the defendant received $500 or more from the proeceds of that check on the 18th of Auzust, 1880, and retained the same until wis "prose- cution was instituted he was guilty of the offense described In this section of the statute. In other words, was the money drawn on that check any part of the pension? I think not. ‘There comes a thine to every pensioner when th pension money pisses from under the prore of this statute, which ts Intended to make sure that all of the pension money shall reach the hands of the pensioner and pass fully into his or her possession or dominion. When, or at what point of tte does the stitute cease to operate a a protection of thepensioner?. The pensioner may buy lands with the pension money, or he may buy bonds With it. Now, while it would be wrong for any one to cheat the pensioner out of either the land or the bonis <o bouzht, I think no one woula claim that such wrongful act was a violation of this statute, and this tilustration serves to show that there 15 a time when the penstoner’s money passes from the protection of the statute and be- comes subject to the general laws, which are made to protect pensioners in com- mon with other citizens from spollation. When does this change happen? I am convinced that it 1s not far wrong to say that It happens whenever the pension money 1s converted Wlil- out fraud or deceit into other forms of property or credit. Now what tagpe effect of the transaction known as depositi oney in a bank? Iknow how common it is tospeak of such and such a one as having a thousand dollarsin bank. But no lawyer need be told that this form of expression 18 not literally true, for when the money 13 so depos- ited the legal effect 1s that it passes into the gen- eral funds of the bank, and the depositor has only a credit in that bank for the sum s0 deposited. He has no right to reclaim the particular bills or coin 80 deposited; for the property has passed to the Dank, and has so changed that it can no longer be identified as the pension or any’ part thereof.” The Commissioner added, after commenting upon other points, that he could not see that an offence had been committed. ‘The case of Mr.R.J. Beall, charged with the same offense, was called, and Mr. Taggart said that in the light of the evkience, explanations and the de- cision of the case, he did not see that there was anything to do but to dismiss the case. He wa glad to do this, for he felt justided-in saying that there was not a particle of evidence as to Mr. Beall’s guilt. Commissioner Bundy said he united in the Views expressed by Mr. Taggart and dis- missed the case, saying he was glad that it had reached 80 satisfactory an ending. —_»—# The Royal Arch Masons.
