AQUATIC. Boat Race tp Gowanus Bay—Two Miles in Fourteen Minutes and Twenty-six Seconds. Gowanus Bay was made the scene of a pretty little amateur contest in the athletic and fast-growing popular exercise of rowing last evening. The race in question was arranged several days ago between Augustus R. 8. Foote and Frank Towle, when an ele- gant gold badge was decided upon as a prize for the successful oarsman, the same to be purchased by the loser. The course chosen was from the boat house of the Alycone Club, at the foot of Court street, South Brooklyn, to a point off the Delaplain House, distant oue mile. making tife distance going and returning two miles, The Naiard and Alycone clubs were out with their boat: full regalia, and, together with others in- terested inthe manly pastime, skimmed the smooth surface of the bay, presenting a pleasing appear- ce. There were but few persons assembled on the ore, and it was not until upwards of an hour be- yond the appointed time that the contestants entered their respective crafts. That of Mr. Foote was @ shell (outrigger) boat, 31 is, feet id beautiful lines, while his op; in length, of fin nent pulled in a seventeen foot work! boat. The former won the toss for position. The judges were Austin Fagin, W. H. Collins, G. 8. Bernap and W. Thornton. James McKay acted as referee. Posi- tions having been taken the word “go” was given at seventeen minutes past six and away they went. Foote gained several boats’ lengths on Towle shortly after the start and kept his advantage, coming in first, having made the distance in fourteen minutes and twenty-six seconds. Towle reached the “home” about twenty-five seconds later. Both men were cheered as they came in, and the spectators dis- — oe ly well pleased with the sport thus afforded. Boating Notes. The match between Blue and McKiel, which comes Off to-morrow over the usual course at the Elysian Fields, is looked forward to with great interest, as a fine display of oarsmanshtp is expected. A conside- rable gmount. of money has already been staked on the event. The friends of both contestants are taid to be confident of success. The meeting of the Ward Brothers did not take place yesterday as arranged, and was postponed till to-morrow, when all the preliminaries for the forth- coming race will probably be settied.

Total value of re-exports was, tn specie, $21,832,479, and total value of net imports was $348,727,268.

She took the lead and went around the turn @ne length in front of the bay gelding, the latter being three lengths ahead of the black mare. Approaching the quarter pole Jimmy O’Brien took sides with the gray mare, and as they passed the post he had his head in front, in forty-two seconds, the gray half a lengh ahead of the black. The latter then broke up, and that was the last of her, Going down the backstretch the gray mare and the gelding trotted side and side to near the half-mile pole, when the gray fell back a length and the gelding passed the post in 1:23, He increased his advantage to two lengths on the Flushing end, which he brought into the homestretch. The gray mare broke up as soon as she reached the stretch, and the gelding came in an easy winner by four length, making the heat in 2:4534, the black mare just inside the distance post. Second Heat.—Jolun Murphy then look Mr. McMa- hon’s place b&hind Butterfly, but that did not alter the betting. Two to one was current that the geld- ing would beat her. The horses had a very even start, the gelding going to the front on the turn; but the little gray mare collared him before he reached the quarter pole, and they passed tiat point head and _hedd in forty-one seconds, the black mare five lengths behind, On the backstretch the race was very close—side and side all the way. At the half- mile pole the gelding had his nose in front; but as they rounded into the Flushing end they became zones in, When close to the three-quarter pole ‘he geld! on yg up and lost a length; but getting into straight work on the homestretch he squared himself gallantly and atthe distance stand was on even terins with the gray. A sharp struggle brought them over the score together, Butterfly winning by ahead, the black mare about as far off as in the previous heat, Time, 2:45. Third Heat.—The mare was again the favorite at even against the others. The trio got away with an even start, but the gray led the geiding half a length around the turn, and was a little more than that at the quarter pole, in forty-one seconds, the black half a dozen lengths behind. The gelding broke up on the homestretch, and loat two lengths; but trotting vigorously afterward the gray mare led but little more than one length at the half-mile pole in 1:224%. On the Flushing end the gelding drew closer, and was at the wheel of the gray at the three- juarter pole. He broke up again, unfortunately, on the homestretch, and Butterfly beat him to the score two lengths in 2:44. The driver of the black mare then gave up the contest, finding that he had no chance to win with her. Fourth Heat.—There was no further betting on the result. A good even start was had, and the horses went around the turn lapped. At the quarter pole, which was passed in mrs soa seconds, the mare was a neck infront. Soon after passing that point she broke up and fell off a couple of lengths, She rallied gallantly down the backstretch, closing gradually, and the gelding led only one length at the half-mile pole in 1:24. Getting well on the Flushing end the gray mare took sides with O’Brien, and they trotted head and head to the three-quarter pole, and swang into the homestretch yoked together. The struggle was desperate all the way up, and no one could say which of them had the best of it until the distance stand was passed, when the gelding made a skip and lost a trifle, and it was this mishap that proba- bly defeated him. The mare won the heat by aneck and shoulders in 2:47. Second Trot. Same Day—Sweepstakes $00, mile heats, best three in five, in harness. W, Oakley entered b. g. Star. £34 Mr. Baine entered bik. ¢. A.

Going down the backstretch Rocket and Star trotted head and head to the end of the oid stand, when Star broke up and Rocket led to the half-mile je alength and @ half in 1:213;, the black ten jengths behind. Along the Flushing end Rocket led a length and came on the homestretch clear of Star. ‘The iatter trotted steadily up the stretch and pressed Rocket so hard that he left his feet, and Star won the heat by a length in 2:43. The black was fully a dis- tance behind, but as there was nobody in the dis- tance stand he escaped. Second Heat.—Two to one was laid on Oakley's horse inst the field. The black got the best of the send-off, but the lead was soon taken away from him by both Star and Kocket. Star was a head in front at the quarter pole in forty-two seconds, Rocket sec- ond, one length ahead of the black. Going down the back stretch the black cut loose, and in a few mo- ments took the lead. The trio then broke up simul- taneously, and when they recovered the black had @ lead of four lengths, which he passed the half-mile pole with in 1:24, Rocket second, four lengths in front of Star, The latter broke again on the Flush- ing end and fell further behind, after which he made no further effort for the heat, The black was eight lengths in front at the three-quarter pole. On the homestretch he broke up and Rocket made a dea- perate effort to overtake him before he recovered, the latter, however, slipped up in the attempt and the black came in a winner by three lengths in 2:48.

Mrs. Conway’s Park Theatre. Vue sare theatre, Brooklyn, inaugurated last night he sixth season of dramatic performance under the management of the always popular and deservedly successful Mrs, F, B, Conway. A house crowded in every part displayed in unmistakable terms its appreciation of the efforts of the favorite caterer to the amusement-loving public of Brooklyn, to whose energy and tact ts to be attributed the fact that the City of Churches maintains at least one regularly established and meritorious temple of the dramatic muse. During the summer recess the thea- tre has been thoroughly renovated and embel- lished, and a company of undoubted strength aud ability has been announced tor the approach- ing seagon, which was commenced last night under the most gratifying auspices. The bill for last evening was the standard high comedy entitled “London Assurance,” in which Mrs. Con- way sustained the leading lady character, Lady Gay Spanker, and Mr. Conway that of the aristo- cratic and pedantic Sir tarcourt Courtly. Of the former réle it must be said that there are un- doubtedly impersonations more adapted to Mrs. Conway's powers, and in which she would appear to better advantage; while Sir Harcourt was Pe ggeenes with a degree of ability to which he audience was not in any way chary of showing its approbation, Miss Viola Crocker’s Grace Harkawny was a highly commendable pioce af actin and the greeting accorded her showed plainly tnt this lady is as great a favorite as ever. The ptece was weil mounted and the playing throughout was very smooth and satisfactory.

Orrawa, Sept. 10, 1868, As the trial draws to @ close the interest and curi- osity of the people seems to be on the increase. Whelan is not without friends who believe he is im- nocent of the crime with which he is charged, while a great number of people regard him as the assassin of the murdered man. An attempt, it ia said, wilt be made to appeal against the ruling of the judge om the right of challenging the jury on cause before exhausting the peremptory challenge. About tem o’clock this morning the judge entered and took hia seat upon the bench. A short time after the prisoner was conducted into the dock. He looked careworn and haggard. His wife took a seat close by the dock, and previous to the examination entered into a brief conversation with the prisoner. A number of witnesses were examined, all of whom testified that Lacroix’s character for untruth- fulness was well known. They swore they would not believe him on oath, had no contidence in lis character, and hig general character was ques- tionable. William Gould sworn—Live in Sussex street; my father is one of the city aldermen; know prisoner; he worked in Egleson’s, where 1 was clerk and bookkeeper; he came there first the 26th of Novem- ber, 1867, and continued to work for about two months steadily; remember last Christmas; cannot say saw prisoner in Ottawa Christmas day; am sure he was there the day before; he came into the shop that day and bid some of the hands goodby; the next time] saw him was about a fortnight after, when he came back to work; recollect seeing in his possession after he returned a revolver; had it im the shop; that was before Mr. McGee's murder; saw itonce in the middie 3 winter and another thue about the beginning of spring, both times before Mr. McGee's death; the revolver was like that pro- fuged, it had six chambers; recollegy 1g that one had been Gischarged; a explete: ion Lad beem given Qt {hat time that 4 gir! al Starr's house had eet, handing th$ pisiol carelessly, and it went of and wounded her in the arm{kiiow Turner, who was geamiped as & witness; remember meeting him at Egleson's store about two o'clock one afternoon; P.

It ts the opinion, however, that a deal of hard swearing haa been induiged in, but what will be the ultimate ree sult still remains shadowed tn the not very distant future. Sixth Day of the Trial—Closing of the Evie denecAdjournment Until Monday—Indicte ment of Doyle and Buckley as Accessories. OTTAWA, Sept. 12, 1868, To-day was the sixth day of the trial of Whalen. The court met at ten o'clock. There was a very large crowd present, including many ladies, mem- bers of Parliament and prowinent men from various parts of the Province. Tne prisoner was brought into court loaking worn and haggard. William Mitchell, the Cincinnati witness, said he was arrested in Ottawa for Fenianism at the time of Mr. McGee's death. He was in jailtwo weeks and occupied the same corridor as Whalen, Doyle and other prisoners. He remembered the conversation between Doyle and Whalen. He said:—‘Turner swore damned bard against him, but he would be safe if the buggar would only keep silent.” The con- versation Was not carried on at intervals of three hours; it only lasted ten minutes. He heard no ad- mission from Whalen of having shot McGee, nor the expression that he would shoot him like a dog. Witness was not locked in the cell at the time. Dia not Know if he could hear the prisoners taiking if the or had been locked, The door was locked at six o'clock. This closed the case for the defence. ‘The Crown brought forward rebuttal evidence. ‘The governor of the jail and turnkey deposed that all prisoners were locked up at bali-past tive that day, and that detectives Hess and Cullen were them placed in the cell adjacent to Whalen’a. Other wit- nesses were ¢alied to rebut certain evidence of the defence given yesterday. The Judge, at twelve o’clock, expiained to the jury that the speeches by the counsel for the defence and the Crown, and his summits up would pro~ bably oceupy the remainder of the day, and as there was some doubt as to the legality of receiving a ver- dict on Sunday, he would adjourn the court until Monday mo urned.. ig The court accordingly adjo Doyle and Buckley were indicted and arraigned this afternoon as accessories to the murder of McGee, They plead not guilty. The trial will be postponed until the next assizes.
