Avery at Hackensack. THE LITTLE VILLAGE IN COMMOTION. Last Hours of the Doomed Man. AN EXCITING SCENE. John W. Avery was hanged at Hackensack, N. J., yesterday, for the murder of Jacob Erbe, at Cress- kill, on the 8th of February last. It is a remarkable instance of THE SWIFTNESS OF JERSEY JUSTICE that, althongh the murder was a mysterious one, and it required careful and ingenious tracing to de- tect the assassin, the murderer was hanged just four months and three weeks from the date of the murder. It is also A REMARKABLE COINCIDENCE that the last execution in Bergen county took Place in the same jail on June 28, 1853, just nine- teen years ago, to the day and to within afew minutes of the hour of the execution yesterday. Ex-Sheriff Terhune, who officiated then, was Present at Avery’s hanging. HISTORY OF THE CRIME. ‘The particulars of Avery’s crime can be briefly narrated. He and his victim, Jacob Erbe, were to- gether working on the farm of Mr. Elijah F. Clark, at Cresskill, N. J. They FAILED TO GET ALONG AMICABLY together, and on the day Avery was discharged by his employer for not faithfully or satisfactorily per- forming his duties the trouble that was long brew- ing between the two men culminated in an open rupture, and a most bitter quarrel followed. Avery left and repaired to his home, at 143 Thompson street, New York. He remained here some two or three days, and on THE MORNING OF THE 7TH of February last absented himself from the house. | He did not return that night. It isnow known that he lingered about the city until night, and then made his way to Cresskill, where he lurked till abont half-past six or seven Tuesday morning. His victim was found in the stable at that hour by a girl sent after him, per direction of Mr. Clark, LYING BLEEDING, from a ghastly wound on the side of the head, un- conscious, Mr. Clark did all he could to relieve him, and then hastened to Englewoood for physt- clans and an officer. Upon their return it was as- certained that life was extinct. Erbe expired with- out being able to articulate. Hence the manner in which he niet his death was at that time somewhat mysterious, though it was certain he was the victim of some BLOODTHIRSTY ASSAILANT. His watch was missing. The officer, W. N. Hills, Marshal of Englewood, investigated the affair as best he could, and, learning of the unfriendliness of the discharged Avery, at once suspected him. Clue after clue was followed up vigorously until the missing watch was found pledged in Mr. Levy’s, in Grand street. This circumstance led to the arrest of Avery at his house. Of course, HE DENIED ALL GUILTY KNOWLEDGE of tne tragedy; but he was caught in the act of try- ing to throw away the pawn ticket for the watch, which action at once fastened the guilt upon him. He was indicted and duly tried before Judge Bedle, at the Bergen County Court, sitting in Hack- ensack. After a fair trial he was convicted of mur- der in the first degree, and on April 13 he was SENTENCED TO BE HANGED on June 28. His case was carried to the Court of Pardons, but that tribunal refused to commute his sentence. Asan instance of the rare disorimina- tion which the people of New Jersey evince in all questions affecting ‘THE RIGHTROUSNESS OF THE LAW in their snug little household it is to be noted that while Libbie Garrabrant obtained over fve thousand names to a petition for her pardon only eleven peo- ple of Hackensack could be found to sign a similar petition for Avery. SINCE HI8 CONDEMNATION Avery had occupied a cell in the male corridor of the Hackensack jail. He had been cheerful and hopeful that the Court of Pardons would interfere to save him untila few days ago. The evidence against him was all circumstantial, but at that time he was induced to confess his crime to one of the local reporters of a Hackensack paper. The ac- count was published before Avery consented to its publication, and it may have affected the action of the Court of Pardons. That was Avery’s belief in his last moments. However that may be the Court rendered an adverse decision on his case on Tuesday last, and Avery commenced at once to prepare for THE DOOM THAT AWAITED HIM. He was removed from the male corrider on Wed- nesday to the female corrider, to be out of sight of the workmen engaged in erecting the gallows. THE VILLAGE OF HACKENSACK wore throughout Thursday afternoon and night the leasant and peaceful aspect of a suburban village in its summer bloom. The Court House fronts upon the main street, and in its rear is the jail, the only point of separation between the two being the arred door which opens into the Sheriff's office. Opposite is the Dutch Reformed church and church- yard, On an opposite corner, across a country jane, is the principal tavern. Diagonally opposite is a broad square, partly used ag a croquet, ground. On this croquet ground on Thursday afternoon, and even far into the oe merry girls were ee an ch shouting and laughing in their mee; the barroom of the tavern men were jrinking and discussing loudly the coming specta- cle; on the piazzas handsome girls were firting and lovemaking; on the drive fast horses were dashing, and on the steps of the Court House and Jail itself little girls were playing “Jacks.” THE BARRED WINDOW OF AVERY'S CELL looked out upon all these scenes of merriment, the sound of which could reach his ears, and every now and then his pale, stricken face could be seen by the few lifted to the heavy bars as if craving for one breath of that free air, one instant of that unobstructed sunshine. AS night came down upon the little village the flicker of the lamp that lighted him through his last night upon earth could be discerned by the knots of peo- ple outside, and from their careless glee they re- japsed into the silence of sober thought, ‘THE PAMILY OF AVERY, consisting of his mother, his elder brother, step- father and stepbrother, passed Thursday with him. As they came away late on Thursday evening to take the train home to New York the mother, clad in Med black, with her face heavily veiled, threw herself into a seat in the Sherif room and swayed her body to and fro in deep grief. “OH, MY DARLING SON 1”? she cried, “what am I to do for my poor boy? My poor, poor boy!” The brothers and the stepfather wept allently; good Mrs. Pell, the Sheriff's wife, wept too, and tears even came into the eyes of Sheriff Pell himself. Mrs. Pell had prepared tea for the unhappy family, but they were too much dis- tressed to eat. Avery had a DIVERSITY OF RELIGIOUS DENOMINATIONS to comfort him. Dr. DeBaun, of the Seceders; Dr, Theodore B, Romayne, of the First Dutch Reformed chureh; Dr. Mc church, and Dr. Craig, of the Warren atreet Methodist church, have all visited him and minis- tered to his reiigious comfort, He received them all ect but expressed a leaning toward the Methodist faith. THE LADIES OF THE VILLAGE, ever since his condemnation, have been untiring in their ministrations. They have carried him strawberries and fruits and books, and have learned to sympathize with him so deeply, just from the mournful association, that they protest so very PDaplycbnn es and cultivated a young man could not @ murderer, Since the Governor refused to com- mute his sentence two strong men have been con- stantly present with him in his cell, to prevent any attempt either at escape or suicide. HIS Last NIGHT. Up to the very last moment Avery maintained a cheerful countenance. There was nothing about him, except his dismal surroundings, to indicate that the shadow of the valley had falien upon his young lfe—that the darkness of death had encom- passed him. At about ten o'clock on Thursday night he receivea the HmgaLp reporter in the cor- ridor upon which his cell opens, the freedom of which he has been allowed ever since his condem- nation. He was sitting, without coat or hat, in a atid-back chatr, talking very seriously and soberly with one of the guards. HIS COUNTENANCE was one in which intelligence and culture were more strongly delineated than the brutality we always associate with the look of a murderer. His hair’ and eyes were black, but his complexion, althongh dark, had been bleached into an un: healthy palior by his confinement and the anxiety and distress he must have undergone. His fore- - head was high and prominent; his nose and mouth shapely, and his head well formed. He was pwenty- lay, of the Asbury Methodist | two of but bis form was so fragile and bo} Lat he looked even younger. je greet HERALD reporte! but obmpiained of wearincan He had un him, He still doub: come off—he thought weg F might yet “turn up” to eatin. the sentence.

They aroused him, and he ened: Sa the morning light, just stealiny into the wr through the grated windows, wit! . He was shaved at an early hour, it on his best suit—one of Vest and coat, and, surveying himse! in the glass, said, ‘I’m looking pretty well.” ‘THR SCENES OUTSIDE. Hackensack, in the meantime, began to turn out to see the sight, It was true that only about one hundred tickets of admission were granted by the Sheriff, and it wae well known that he had received strict injunctions from the Governor to make the execution as private as possible; but nevertheless there was some charm about the neighborhood of the coming spectacle that called the people forth. Tt soomed to be an intense satisfaction th even to upon the for ie rustics gaze ‘walls of the prison, and it was @ sensation for in- numerable Broupe to see and interview some casual comer forth from the prison who had seen and interviewed the prisoner. The people of the m borhood came in by rail or in carriage 8 early in the morning, and assembled about the tavern and the Court House. The Bergen county Chosen Frestansers, grandly consequential with the dig- nity of the law that rested upon their shoulders, “gpread” themselves about the vicinity, and ‘A COMPANY OF MILITIA from Leonia, numbering fifty men, marched up to the public ‘square at about n{ne o'clock and “ordered” arms, with all the amazing irregularity ofmilitiamen, in front of the sacred temple of justice. On one side of the jail three windows opened from the corridor where the execution was to take place, and directly behind the middle one the platform had been erected. From the open yard of the prison the rope was visible through the grated bars, and many disappointed visitors posted themselves here for the satisfaction of seeing the rope suddenly tight- ened at the fatal moment,and, perhaps, even to get agiimpse of the quivering ‘body of the doomed man as he shot into the air, The soldiers were dis- tributed through the Court House, guarding each door with fixed bayonets, and a aquad of them, in the course of their duties, cleaned out the ANXIOUS EXPECTANTS IN THE OPEN YARD. But when the hush just previous to the hang- ing fell upon ,the crowd the soldiers forgot their duty, and the citizens crowded again into the yard, and from that standpoint soldiers and citizens saw the sight bos | had hoped to see—the tightened rope, the body shot up by the window and the dangling and cine of the dying man. At eleven o'clock Avery’s brother, Willlam, and his stepfather, W. L. Livingston, bothof New York, visited him for the last time. The interview be- tween THE TWO BROTHERS was most affecting. John asked that the Sheriff allow William to be present at the execution, “No, no,” said the Sherit, “you would not want him.’ Both John and William persisted, however, As the Sheriff commenced reading the death war- rant to the condemned in his cell the brother was so Overcome that he shrieked and raved and finally wentinto a fainting Mt, in which he was carried outside, “Be sure and let him come in,’ said the prisoner; “that is only a — fainting fit, and he’ll soon be over it.” But the Sher- iff would not admit him; and while the terrible scene was in progress he remained in the outer room of the Sheritf’s office, moaning and crouching like an angry wild beast. THE LAST HOURS. The Rev. Dr. Romayne, Dr. Craig, and all the reachers visited the condemned man in turn uring his last morning, and instilled all the com- forts of their Various creeds into his hangry soul, Mr. J. W. Stagg, President of the Board of Chosen Freeholders of Bergen county, most of whom were present in all their dignity, and lawyers Ackerson and Demorest, counsel of the prisoner, also visited him during the res regres At about a quarter of twelve, Sheriff Pell, accom- panied by the prosecuting attorney, Judge Post, ex-Sheriti Terhune, who hanged Keating, the last murderer hanged in Bergen county, pre- vious to Avery, Deputy Sheriff and rev- erends entered the cell and read THE DEATH WARRANT It is a long document, full of legal verbiage; and it occupied the Sheriff at least ten minutes reading it. His voice was tremulous and shaken with emo- tion. The prisoner listened iupialy swaying him- self back and forth during the reading, in seeming assent to its provisions. His arms were then pinioned to his side, and at six minutes past twelve the procession, led by Sheriff Pell and ex-Sheriff of the prisoner, between and Garrett U. Ackerson ounsel, entered and © the Sheriff's room, appeared at the heavily grated door that divided the gallows room from the Sheriff's parlor. Through this narrow door the rocession passed; but as the prisoner and swo reverend guards came to pass through it abreast, it was found too narrow. Both the preachers persisted in holding the helpless eee arm, and in the struggle to get through he narrow doorway without decreasing front, it looked to the reporters, in the first corridor, as if they were dragging the prisoner in by force. It Was not 80, of course, but the bungling manage- ment of the preacher, the downcast head and slightly dishevelled hair of the prisoner, the pre- sence of the rude ropes about his body and the noose about his neck, and the armed soldiers in the rear struggling to secure entrance to the fatal corridor, suggested some of the terrible features of an ancient inquisition, or a human slaughter house, ‘Avery, raising his eyes when past the door, saw, for the first time, THE SCAFFOLD upon which he was to die. A convulsive shudder ran through his frame, and then he clenched his hands as if bracing himself to bear the coming blow, Behind this procession came a straggling squad of the Jersey militiamen, who filled the doorway, and throughout the rest of the affuir were struggling among themselves to get a view of the hanging through the crowded passageway. THE INSTRUMENT OF DEATH wasa Jersey i ae on the regular patent. The rope with the noose attached hung pendant from a hole in the ceilingof the corridor, passed over pulleys concealed above the ceiling, and came down through another hole into the bath room and through the Noor, ending in the kitchen basement beneath, where @ 260 pound iron weight was at- tached. In the bathroom, on the same floor as the platform, was the rope and pulley which holds the weight, and here the executioner, whose name is a secret to Hackensack, stood concealed from the fog me outside, with sharpened axe to cut the rope at the given signal. The corridor itself is a narrow one, probably fifty feet long by eighteen feet wide. ‘The galleries of the upper stories trench upon it and the doors of a dozen cells look into it, 80 close to Avery that no prisoner in these cells could have helped seeing him or nearing the dread- ful thud, and any of them could have spoken to him in a whisper if they wished. They wero all re- moved to another part of the building, however, before the execution took place. This narrow cor- ridor was crowded by about one hundred persons, the Chosen Freeholders, who were present in solemn conclave to witness the vindication of the oe and the reporters, being accorded seats in the gallery. THE PRISONER wore the gray tweed suit which he had donned in the morning, a plain-bosomed shirt, with collar and black necktie, The black cap which was to cover his features was cfushed upon his head, and about his neck hung the futal noose. ON THE SCAFFOLD Sheriff Pell attached the noose to the heavy ship's cable, which served the purpose of the hangman’s rope, the prisoner coolly placed himself within the narrow square marked out for him, Counselior Ackerson leaned against the wall and wept, ex- Sheriff Terhune leaned meditatively upon the steps beneath, and Rev, Mr. Komayne offered A PRAYER, Tt was five minutes in duration, and must have seemed an age to the Ged criminal and the agitated Sherif. During the first few words of its delivery Avery allowed his eyes to wander around the thronged corridor, but soon he dropped them and gave way to bitter sobbing. As the “For Christ’s sake, amen,’ of the preacher fell sadly from his lips the doomed youth cast his tearful eyes to heaven, attempted to clasp his pinioned hands, and _ cried feelingly, “Amen, For Christ's sake, Lord, have mercy on me.” THR CLERGYMEN then blessed him and shook hands with him. “In God be your trust, poor boy,” said Mr. Oraig. | “God help me!’’ responded Avery. At last came Sherif Pell, who asked if he wished to sa: ne git He geet oer at the chance. ‘es, 1 want to,” said he. Then tearfully, but ina perfectly audible voice, he said:— HIS DYING SPEECH.

THE CONVICTS EMEUTE. Details of the Insurrection in Au- burn State Prison. How a New York Burglar Opened the Ball While the Chaplain Was Saying Grace at the Mess Table—The Progress of the Rebellion— The Alleged ‘Cause—The Con- victs Want Better Fare. AvBurN, N. Y., June 28, 1872, Tarrived here late this evening, to find that the telegrams concerning the revolt in the State Prison have been somewhat exaggerated. That there was a determined plot concelved to rebel against the prison discipline or effect the escape of some of the convicts is true. But there is no evidence showing that any serious violence was re- sorted to by the ringleaders in the émeute or those who followed their lead. The townsfolk, however, as wellas the officers of the prison, were greatly excited, and it has not yet died out. The warden, Mr. Ross, permitted me to converse with the men who were participants in the revolt, and from their reports I glean THE FOLLOWING FACTS. They report that tne plot was conceived by a number of New York roughs, headed by Thomas De Kay, sentenced by Recorder Hackett on the 1th of last July for burglary to Sing Sing, and transferred here. It appears that the convicts first made ® demonstration on Tuesday at dinner. The keeper, Mr, Bacon, reports that before the chaplain had concluded grace some men in the mess room groaned, when De Kay burst out intoa loud laugh. Bacon asked what he meant, when De Kay said he was laughing at the stinking meat placed before him, which was not fit for a hog to eat. Bacon took the meat from him and repaired to the kitchen, where he and other keepers exam- ined it and found it to be sweet Texas beef cured with saltpetre that gave it a peculiar smell. THE RINGLBADERS ORDERED OUT. Bacon then returned to the mess room and ordered De Kay out to the aisle, when he replied that he would be damned before he would go out. Bacon reported to Captain Parsons, a deputy of the principal keeper, and he ordered De Kay out. The ringleader still refused, when Warden Ross appeared on fhe scene and renewed the order. De Kay then squared off to strike the warden, gave him much impudence and retreated to the other end of the table, which he mounted, and called upon the men of his shop, shoe shop No. 1,to stand by him, One of the keepers charges that he threw forks at the keepers, (ee struck @ waiter in the face withone. He was SECURED AND LOOKED UP, after appealing to the men to know whether he should go with the warden and receiving an answer in the afirmative. The men returned to their work, and the day passed without incident, except that at night, after the convicts were locked up, they considerable noise and complained of the stink- ing meat given them to eat. On Wednesday morn- ing, when ordered to work, many refused unless and one or two others were released and they were given better fare. . THE MUTINEERS. The shops in which the men refused to work are as follows:—Tool shop No. 1, about fifty; shoe shop No. 1, about one hundred; shoe shop No. 2, about fifty; tool shop No, 2, twenty; shoe shop No. 3, thirty; axletree shop all, about one hundred; horse collar Bho) work, wi forty. Some few others also refused to le many of the above, the keepers say, were forced to quit work by the Fepeodom, who threatened to kill them ifthey did not join them, The mutineers were taken out to the bucket yard, and then marched to their wards, where Warden Ross __permit- ted representatives of each gang to make their complaint, which was that THRY WANTED BRITER FARE. He assured them that he had no intention to give them any but the best, and advised them to return to work. All, it is said, complied, except about six, who were locked upin their cells. During the day they worked quietly, and it was belleved that the re- bellion was at an end, but yesterday morning a large number of shoe shops refused to work or fall into line to be locked up. About half wanted to work, but were intimidated by their leaders. The warden, with a squad, went down, and after giving an invitation to them to go to'work, some com- ied. About fifty or sixty were locked > yn proceeding to the shop Keeper Featherly found the men _ idie and determined not to work. Four New Yorkers were at once seized and locked up. They are Thomas Wilson, ‘Yhomas Steward, John Jones and James Smith, alias Rod- erick. Among the other New York convicts in shoe shop No. 2 locked up are Joseph Adler, a burglar— who threw a cup of coffee at Captain Parsons; Wil. liam J. Sweeney, burglar; George Carson, robber; John F. Goss, a stabber; John Danver, a burglar; ‘Alexander English, a thief; George Byron, burglar} John Smith, burglar; Richard McGovern, burglar} Thomas DeKay, the ringleader; William Lockhard, apes Michael Boyie, burglar, and Joe Early, ef. ANOTHER BATCH LOCKED UP. An hour or 80 after these had been secured about twenty-nine in the sash and blind shop struck, as well ag some in the toolshop, all of whom were locked up in their cells. This morning the keepers report that ninety of them were released from the cells and returned to ory earns only a few ringleaders still in the cells, it from other sources 1 learn there are 180 still contined on bread and water once per day, and rumor says RECEIVING APPLICATION OF THR “PADDLE,” a flat board on the bare skin, to teach them submis- sion. During the excitement the Willard Guard, a military organization, was called out, but their ser- vices were not required, ‘There are Varlous rumors afloat as to the cause of the outbreak; among oth- ers that the food is really unfit for them, and that the demonstration was to frighten the Warden into providing better fare. Another is that it was in- cited by the labor agitators of New York, but this is too abgurd for serious notice. It is very certain that escape was not the incentive to the revolt, as none made attempts to gain their liberty, and itis more likely that the convicts made the demonstration for no other pur- pose than to improve the fare. The keepers regret that there ts no law Lege les the whipping of prie- oners, but they make mysterious references to the beneficial effects of the “paddle” upon the bare hips of refractory convicts, At this writing the: are all quiet and well conducted, but the émew may break out anew In the morning. "ADMIRAL O'KEEFE,” The result of the examination for the Colonel Roberts naval cadetship, held on Thursday, tne facts of which have already appeared in the HERALD, has caused a widespread sensation, and a feeling of general satisfaction is felt at the success of O'Keefe, From every indication the future of the talented oung First-warder will not be embarrassed for want of funds, as the Board of Bro- kers start & subscription in his behalf to- day. In the First ward, also, a list has been opened, and the indications are it will be a Jarge one before {t is closed. Thus genius and merit will have their reward.

The Nassan Crew Win by Twenty Lengths—~ Time, 18 Minutes and 31 Seconds. The champtonship of the Harlem River is an much coveted by the members of the different whose boat houses line the southern bank of river between Harlem Bridge and the bridge. The rivalry has been mainly between Nassau, the Gramercy and the Athletic and for some time past there appears have been a desire on the partof the two former test the respective merits of their four-oar and dectde to which properly belonged the maste! flag. Yesterday was a charming day for a race, as towards afternoon there was hardly breath of wind to raMfe the surface of water, and the clear blue sky above gai promise that no rain would mar the busine of the occasion. The gathering crowds of gentlemen that filled the barrooms adjacent to waters betokened that there was something Ih afoot, and conversation generally was devoted feats of skill and endurance on the water Marvellous tales were told of the derful time that had been made on Harlem River by the Biglins, Blue, Kyle and other aquatic celebrities, One individual, of a di seedy appearance, attired in a pair of brown pant patched in the seat with blue flannel, and a Jersey that was minus an arm, wi descanting loudly on the great race at toga last year, when he saw” the Ward wid Hank Ward, who was sixty-eight last year, bate thim Canada’s crews.” How many mo. aquatic truths this gentleman might have produ itis hard to say; but while in the height of glory, and with his audience aghast at aquatic knowledge, a bystander remind him that he was on the Island when the Saratoga race came off, All hand: went to take a drink and the indiviaual with the blue patch sloped. There did not appear to ba much betting on the event, a8 offers of 2 to 1 and & to 2 on the Nassau crew went begging. \ Shortly before four P. M. the tug Tittamer came up the East River with the members of the Nassat Club and their guests, After stopping to tak a few more of their friends on poardl the Tittamer parsed through the bridge and tooki up a position on the High Bridge side of the rat road bridge. The Rattler, a small steam tug tha’ had been chartered by the Gramercy Club, came up! the East River shortly afterwards HEAVILY LADEN with passengers, and made a landing before arrive, ing at Harlem bridge to take on some more. steamboat inspector with an eye to business, hap-| pened to be close at hand, and seeing the crowd) came on board and said that as the Rattler was! only licensed to carr reve ty Ae Paice! about two hundred would have to get off before sho; could leave the dock, This mandate created a slight confusion, and finally ended in the Rattler: not going any further. : In the meanwhile the Nassau crew were getting: impatient, as the tide was about to turn and they! wanted to get off. They were looking well and fit; as they satin front of their boathouse clad in row-| ing attire, Rede rk ry les pale pink Jersey and bi drawers, cut short below the knees. Babcock was there aa substitute for Jones, who had gone amiss’ in his training. It would have been hard to picl four finer specimen of the MUSCULAR CHRISTIANITY of Young America than were there represented. ‘The ee boys were up at their boathouse, a little nearer the railroad weg od anxiously awalt- the arrival of their tag; but presently learnt of its detention, the’ brought out heir _shell, and taking their seats, paddled out in the stream at about 4:15. The nied them a hearty cheer as they settled down to heir stroke and took a breather to open their: ping. jue shirts and red drawers. As soon as ‘THY NASSAU CREW water and paddicd down easily to the starting point, The course was three miles py wy: e No! ern shore of the river, about four hundred yard: above the raliroad bri spectators on the bridge and the surrounding docks valves. The Gramercy crew were attired saw their antagonists they got thelr shell in the. starting from two stakebgats moore: tage under Macomb’s Dam Bridge and High dge to Morris dock. The = reffros, ir, Frederick J.

The Nassau boys caught the water first, and, as they take a hold when they dip, they shot shead. at the si and before a dozen strokes had been pulled the Gramercy crew were nearly a Jength astern. The! Nassau crew were evidently determined to have no foul, and Bacon, pulling bow, gave the Gramercies a wide birth by selecting the southern shore for their water. THE GRAMERCY crew were pulling a fast stroke of about forty-four, to the minute, and dipped very lightly. Their re- covery was good, but they had not the graceful, easy and finished style of the Nassau crew, who,; although they'did not pull over forty-one to the minute, made every stroke tell by a longer sweep and holding better water. The river was covered with single shells, four oars, six and eight-oar gigs, and rowboats of every: description; but, with praiseworthy intelligence, they kept out of the course. A number of the barges of the different clubs were also out, includ- ing those of the Nautilus, Gramercy and Athletic Clubs. The Nassaus were steadily forging ahead, and they shot under M‘COOMB’S DAM BRIDGR, with a clear lead of about four lengths, pullin forty to the minute. The Gramercies were stil workin: ay at forty-four, out it was evident the: were beaten, and pee they hung to their wor! like tough men they must alter their style of rowing before they can expect to t the crew that waa ving them the lead. The crews passed M‘Coomb’s um Bridge as follows :— aMs 4 41 441 rh The Nassau crew. ‘The Gramercy cre ‘As the crews came in leading to H Bridge the river presented a very charming pic- ture, with its southern banks densely wooded and throwing a shadow over the water that formed a pleasant resting place for some twenty or thirt boats and their occupants, who had taken this posl- tion to witness the race. The ladies on board the Tittamer were intensely delighted with the success of their friends and the prospect of half dozen of Jouvin'’s best that they had wagered on the result. THE NASSAU crew were evidently having the race all their own way, and had dropped into a steady thirty-eight, which, however, was quite sufficient to keep in- creasing their lead. The Gramercy crew were still hanging to about forty-three to the minute, and kept inside the stakes on the northern shore, High Bridge was lined with spectators, and they gave the Nassau crew a hearty cheer, and fluttered their handkerchiefs in the evening breeze as they shot beneath the first arch from the southern shore and sped on towards the goal of victory. The Gramercies followed some ten lengths behind, pay the second arch. The crews passed under High Bridge as follws: aes Nassau Crew.. 4 48 10 Gramercy Crew. 4 & 60 The boats had now entered the last mile, and the Gramercy crew made a last struggle to close the gap, spurting about forty-five to the minute, and at one moment it looked as if they might have a chance, as the Nassau boat fouled @ ir-oar shell which had capsized in their track, The delay ‘was, however, only momentary, as they uickly resumed their stroke and shot by Morris ck, Winning by twenty lengths.
