The attendance from abroad was not as large as was expected, but this is attributed to Brown's recent cards notifying bis friends not to venture bets on bis winning, and alo his expressing dissatisfaction with the course and the arrangements. Shea, Brown’s trainer, injured him some in public estimation by declaring that Browa was desirous of selling the race, and had made over- tures to the Hamill party. Brown, of course, denied the soft Impeachment in a card published in the Pitts- burg papers, which brought forth a rejoinder from John Hamill, a brother of Jimmy, which I submit as a matter of history in connection with the race just con- eluded. JOHN HAMILL’S LETTER, Ihave received a letter from Mr, Shea, late trainer of Mr. Waker Brown, in which the following question is addressed to me and an answer requested:—Did Mr. Brown offer to sell or lose the race with your brother James, provided you or his backers would guarantee him the sum of $750. In reply to Mr. Sheal answer that on the night of April 17 Mr. Brown did make me the above offer, saying that he had that amount in the stakes, and that parties in the East that promised to put up some of the giakes had back on him. I told Mr. Brown that neither my brother James nor m; had apy money to buy anybody; what little we had we were willing to invest on the race, aud preferred running the chances of winning or losing our money honorably to being connected with ay, thing disgraceful. I aleo told him that I thought my brother James could beat him if he could got in proper condition, J think eo still, and am willing to go the amount of our little pile on the result. 1 write this in answer to Mr, 3! and in justice to the many friends of my brother, in Pitsburg and elsewhere, who have stood by him since bis first appearance as a rower. If Thad known that Mr. Brown was the kind of man that he has turned out to be my brother should never have entered into articles with him, as conduct such as his brings boating matters into disrepute. Mr, Brown bas warned his friends not to bet on him; they can now do so if they like. My brother James wishes, after all that hag been said, to give Mr. Brown « fair chance to win, and requests his friends to throw no impediments in bis way, as all he asks 18 a fair course and that ‘the best man may win.” Should Mr. Brown deny the above don't tink necessary bere, where [have been kaewa ‘think it necessary wi wo from childhood. Yours, respectfully, JOHN HAMILL. SROWR’D TRAINING, Brown, several days previous to the race, and notwith- standing his card warning his friends not to venture their piles upon his success, found time to write to a friend in Portiand, in which he gave a description of his daily training. In it be says he “travels six miles and seventeen yards daily, picking up one hundred potatoes one yard apart and carrying them seperately to » bas- ket, Previous to this exercise he walks four miles before bi He also pulls ata fifty-mx pound puiling machine and swings the clabs. His diet consists of beefsteak, tea, dry toast and corn bread, with mutton chope for change of meat. His splendid condition proved that he was in earnest, A woek before the race he ceased ail work, except row- ing, and two days before the important event he did not #0 into his boat at all. He speaks thas confidently of winning the race to hw Portland correspondeat:— I calculate to row that five and a half ae the cinnati, for mpown opinion is that the further we go ‘the greatest distance I will come out ahead, I have come to the conclusion that five miles is my favorite distance, instead of three. Brown informed we that the difficulty with bis trainer originated through the latter's incompetency. About ten days ago he moved his training quarters to the boat house of the McKee Boat Club, South Pittsburg. During the past week be was busily engaged studying the course and arriving at a knowledge of its alleged intricacies, He has had for trainers epee he parted with shea, Fred Dierst aud Frea Wolf, of thie place. sIMMY MAMTLL, 1 called on Jimmy Hamill yesterday at his quarters, He gave mea cordial welcome and expressed the plea- sure it #forded him to know that the Herarp would have an eye-witness on the spot, He showed a disinclination to talk about the race, but said he would do all ip bis power to win, He declared that he was in tip top con- dition, but that he found it hard work to reduce his avoirdupois ‘WALSER BROWNS RECORD.

In his conteet with Joshon Ward, in Port- land arbor, his time for three miles was 22:0, After the above race Brown challenged any oareman in the United States to row for @ distance of two or five miles. Hamill answered the challenge, which resulted in arrangements being entered into for the race of to-day. AML record as an oarsman is too well known to need re- hearving.

He is an intelligent and responsible citizen of this city, and will decide the question of foul in all fairness. Ata quarter to four o’clock the contestants took their places, Hamill having the choice of positions. At the signal for starting both left the judge’s boat in olegant style. Brown’s long sweep sent him ahead, and he maintained the lead to the buoy boat, two miles and a half distant, and turned it neatly; but on the return streteh Brown is alleged to have fouled Hamill, the latter's judge claiming that Brown crossed Hamill’s course three times during the race.
