ag ww FROUDE. Vivid Picture of Ireland in the Eighteenth Century. EFFECT OF PROSCRIPTIVE LEGISLATION. Gentry. . Mr.Games Anthony Froude gave last evening the third Of nis series of lectures on Irish history, his _ subject being, “The Penal Laws and Their Seollcbuant ‘The attendance showed a greater ‘off even than'the last from the overflowing that greeted the great historian on his opening night; but the seats were filled much more eonspiouously than before with students and others interested in the subject matter of the lecture, and there was 8 delightful absence of mere “etiHiosity-mongers. Throughout the closest attention was. manifested, and Mr. Froude, with @ Giscréet regard to the hints thrown out by the Ms bearers, by an occasional pause after ‘point, the opportunity to indulge in the relief of an outburst of applause or laughter. Mr. Froude; who was warmly received, began by Tecapitulating ms former description of the state of Ireland:during the nine years of anarchy preced- ing thé advent of Cromwell. After that great Jeader Of the Puritans had restored order what was he to do? Could he have put ballots into their hand§?’ They would, no doubt, then have decided ‘that the English should at once leave the island. But itomight:be said that the English had no busi- mess in Ireland. It had grown to be too late to ‘Brgue,that, \Ineland had already been subject to the British Crown for centuries, an now that she baa the Italian side of the great religious que n in Europe, Cromwell could not, in behalf of tiie cause he» represented, permit her .and become a thorn in the ‘Otestahtism. The Irish demanded lberty"of'conscience ; but Cromwell said, “If your Mberty of Sonsclence means the right to celebrate Ahe mass on Protestant soil, I cannot permit it.” And he (Mr. Froude) could not, after an impartial eview of all the circumstances, blame that great man for this decision, Let it be remembered that this réligton which Cromwell persecuted was not the Catholic religion as it had once been or as it is (to-day, The Romish Church in that day was waging '@ bitter persecution to the death against heretics ‘all over Europe, and was actively engaged in Btirring..up rebellion against all Protestant wovernments, And it was against that form of religion that Cromwell acted.

Gh ubagal seibies An Irish Priest Replies to the English Historian. A lecture was delivered last evening in Market Hall, Elizabeth, by the Rev. John Boylan, of Cavan, Ireland, on the right of his native country to inde- pendence. There was a very large attendance and the lecturer was repeatedly applauded. He replied to Mr. Froude’s assertions about the semt-barba- rous condition of the Irish people previous to the Norman conquest. Ireland by her insular position was saved from the troubles of the continent of Europe, and she was actually, at the period spoxen of by Mr. Froude, the school of the West. Even Charlemagne sent to Ireland for learned professors for his colleges, Ireland supplied to Cambridge and to Oxford the most distinguished of their professors. On the other hand. since the conquest of Ireland by England, the literatue of the former country had decayed, a8 it was the prime object of English tion to reduce pearpen le to ignorance. Any American who reads ti tory of the penal laws can render 8 verdict on this question, as Mr. Froude appeals for a verdict. England might rob the Trish of their lands, but they could not rob them of their brains, The education that suits Ireland would not be palatable to Mr. Froude or his coun- trymen. r Boylan was quite eloquent and impassioned durin; delivery of that portion of his lecture devoted to Mr. Froude’s allegations, and at one time the audience prevented him from pro- ceeding for several seconds by a “three times three.’ On the platform were Fathers McGahan, Smith and Kane, besides several prominent lay- men. FATHER BURKE VERSUS MR, FROUDE. Newark, N, J., Oct. 21, 1872. Yesterday, a deputation from this city, headed by the President of the Catholic Temperance Union of New Jersey, waited upon Father Burke in New York, and requested him to devote part of his dis- course in this city, on Wednesday next, to a notice Of Mr. Froude’s recent criticisms of Insh history and character. The Father consented to consider some of Mr. Froude’s assertions on that occasion, HENRY WILSON IN NEWARK. Large Turnout of People—The Sen- ator Defends and Eulgizes President Grant. The announcement that Senator Henry Wilson, candidate for Vice President on the Grant ticket, would appear and deliver a speech attracted a large assemblage of people at the Rink in Newark last night. The galleries were filled with respect- ably dressed citizens and their wives. Hundreds gathered regardless of politics, but curious to see the distinguished ‘Shoemaker of Natick.” A large platform was arranged at one end of the vast building, im which the speak- ers, officers and others crowded, making in themselves a fair little meeting. Ex-Governor Ward and a whole swarm of local office-holders oc- cupied seats. Mr. 0, Parker presided, and on taking the chair made a few remarks, in which he referred to Mr. Wilson as the “incarnation of re- publican principles.” Aiter a few other compli- mentary allusions he introduced Mr. Wilson, who wae very warmly received. The Senator expressed his thanks, and then proceeded with a speech which, owing to the wretched acoustic arrange- ments of the building, was not heard by one in every ten persons aprepcnt, The speaker said he had been on the stump for the last three months; had travelled thousands of miles, and had addressed over one hundred meet- ings. He loved the republican part, use it ‘was, he the party of honor, civilization and freedom. ere were many laberal republi- cans who, he believed, had seen the error of their desertion, and whom he now would gladly wel- come back, The Senator then went on in ‘a hi hhly tic strain about General and President saying that he was regarded as a great and outside of the United States. A hun- rs hence he would rather have the honor of sing him. After alluding” to Grant's history oppor rT allu rant’s histo! im the war he defended hint from the charge ‘ot intemperance, and said that in all his close and intimate relations with the President he had never seen him under the influence of liquor, nor had he ever seen a man who had seen the dent intox- icated. leas- mre ee 80 better. ee a rani was a lover re and beautiful.

Formal Tendering of the Republican Nom- ination to Ex-Mayor Havemeyer. Ho Postpones a Positive Reply Until To-Mor- row—Everybody in High Good Humor and the Chances in Favor of His Acceptance. Yesterday afternoon Tom Murphy, the chairman, and Colonel Pinckney and Mr. Ben Page, the secretaries of the Republican Convention, waited upon ex-Mayor Havemeyer, and acquainted him of his nomination to the Mayoralty by the Grant Re- publicans, They arrived at the office of the Penn- sylvania Central Coal Company, in Trinity Building, of which Mr, Havemeyer is a director, between twelve and one o’clock, and having reached the board room beguiled the time as best they could during a tedious nour of waiting. Mr. Murphy was evidently in the most exalted state of cheerful good humor, and amused his companions every now and then by sucn lively and exhilarating allies of wit as— “We shall carry everything before us—Grant, Dix and Havemeyer. Grant will get a 100,000 ma- jority, and Dix won't be far behind him.” “But how about Havemeyer?” struck in anen- terprising newspaper man. “Are you sure he will accept?” “I have no doubt he will, sir,’ was the reply. “If he doesn’t he will throw away a certain elec- tion. There isno doubt whatever about our being able to make him Mayor.” About half-past one Mr. Havemeyer arrived, and having disposed of two or three business mes- sengers, who were waiting to catch the shadow of his portly figure im the long, dark corri- dor, engaged in a friendly chat with his political tempters. Mr. Murphy, whose gayety was positively infectious, at once declared the ob- ject of his coming, and the ex-Mayor, with a smiling face, motioned hia visitors into comfortable coa, company chairs with a wave of his hand, and draw- ing aletter from his pocket read it aloud. The contents of this document must have been very pleasing, for all the gentlemen present hailed its words with chuckles and giins, The interview, however, did not last long, and Mr. Murphy and his two attendants soon bent their steps again up town- ward to bear the Joyiul news to the Fifth Avenue Hotel that their nominee would probably make up his mind to run. Scarcely had Mr. Havemeyer settled .down in earnest to his coal business than he received the card of a representative of the HERALD. “Have you yet decided whether you will run, Mr. Havemeyer ?”’ inquired the latter. “No, sir. I have received a couple of nomina- tions for the Mayoralty, but as yet I have not gone further than to promise to give them my careful consideration."’ “And you have not as yet even a bias one way or the other ?? “Well, you may say further, if you like, that I shall certainly have made my final decision by to- morrow or the next day, and shall communicate it in writing to the Conventions and the public. The republicans meet again on SARE, evening, and by that time I shall have positively decided one Way or the other. And this was all that Mr. Havemeyer, under the circumstances, can cf course be expected to say. It is, however, looked upon about town as @ sure thing that he will accept.

The cheerful equanimity of the Fifth Avenue Head- quarters was somewhat disturbed yesterday by the visit of Ulysses Grant and Henry Wilson, both some- what prominent on the list of distinguished radicals, The sphinx of a Presidential candidate had nothing to say, except a monosyllabic reply to Dudley's con- gratulations on the October elections, smoked his cigar and solemnly withdrew. Senator Wilson says that he raises his olf prediction of twenty-seven States for Grant, three making it thirty.

Bedford fer City Judge—Charies Donohue for District Al Aldermante Candidates. The Liberal Republican Judiciary Convention met at hall-past seven o'clock, Mr. George W. Howe presiding. The Conference Committee, whicn had met a few moments before, reported that they had been waited upon with the request that a committee of seven be appointed to confer witha committee of Tammany Hall to make ar- rangements Jor a ratification mass meeting. Mr. Isaac J. OLIVER moved that the Convention endorse the fail judiciary ticket nominated by Tammany Hail. (Cheors.) A lengthy discussion appeared imminent, but was skilfully avoidea by the chairman, whereupon Gen- eral Foster protested against the pe of “gag law.” The resolution was carried. General CocuRANK moved the appointment of a like committee of seven to confer with a commit- tee of Tammany Hall to make arrangement for a meeting jor the ratification of the Judiciary ticket, The committee was appointed by the Chair. General Foster was excused on the ground that he thought there was one name on the ticket for which no respectable lawyer could vote. ‘The Convention was then adjourned with three cheers for the Judiciary ticket of Tammany Hall. The County Convention. At the close of the Judiciary Convention the County Convention was immediately called to or- der by the chairman, Mr. Thomas E. Stewart. The report of the Conference Committee was given by General Cochrane. He said that a sub- committee of that committee had met a sub-com- mittee of Tammany Hall and had discussed with the latverthe proper name to be placed upon the Mayoralty ticket, and the conclusion had been ar- rived at that it should be one of democratic ante- eedents, The same result was attained in relation to the candidate for Coroner. The discussion of the Aldermanic ticket was warmer and more selfish, the Tammany Hal: committee claiming the iton’s share of the nominations. The Liberal Re- publican Committee wanted four of the names to be such as accorded entirely with their own no- tions, After a good deal of argument and counter- argument the following ticket: had been agreed upon, The chairman of the Convention recom- mended. in the name of the Committee of Twenty- one, that it be adopted. Abraham R. Lawrence ‘was endorsed for Mayor and Henry Woitman for Coroner. Their names were received with cheers. The Aldermanic candidates reed upon were George P. Bradford, Jeremiah Kennefeck, Thomas Shields, Frederick Zimmer, Nicholas Segar, John Riley, Gooi W. Plunkett, William T. ‘Ashman, Paul Lysaght, Isaac Rovinson, Edward Gillon, Richard Flanagan, William Salmon, Robert McCaf- ferty, James McLaren. Alderman Conover expressed disapprobation at this announcement, He declared:—“I say, as a republican, there are names on that ticket which I cannot support—names that stink worse than ee presen ed by ay Hall in 1868, The committee have exceeded their powers. They had no authority to prepare the ticket, but only to ar- Tange the number of men upon it who were to represent the liberal republicans. I protest that some of the names presented there are such as no honest man can vote for.” FREDSRICK B, Swirt moved the acceptance of the report, and it was adopted. ir. JENNY moved that the adoption of the ticket be postponed for four days, and that the Conven- tion resolve itself into a committee of the whole to discuss separately each name that bad been mentioned. General Cochrane hereupon opened his thunders. It was a good opportunity. He improved it. The business of the Convention was, he said, to keep faith with the gentlemen who had taken them by the hand and had joined with them in the support of Horace Greeley. (Cheert.) He would trample in the dust all less considerations, and come to the rescue of party honor and integrity as purely and independently as if the committee had never been appointed. The names were presented for their fresh and initial acceptance. ere they re- fused, it would be the violation of that faith upon Subjects im New York the New Sovereign of Seandinavia—The Oath of Allegiance to the Successor of “the Madman of the North”—The Royal Rights and Restrictions—Kingly Insig- nificance and Popular Indifference. ‘The office of the Scandinavian Consul, No. 18 Ex- change place, was yesterday as quiet as usual, not- withstanding the invitation published in the adver- tising columns of the morning press to all citizens of the Norse Peninsula to subscribe to the oath of allegiance to the new King, Oscar the Second. Mr. Youngberg, the chief clerk of the Consulate, said that there had been four or five visits during the day from those of his countrymen who wished to take the loyal obligation, but these persons were led there by other business, and not specially by that object. They are captains of Norwegian ves- sels now lying in this port and sailing under the colors of Norway. Mr. Youngberg expJained to a visitor from the HERALD establishment that the object of the ad- ministration of the oath here was by no means to entice Norwegians and Swedes who had the inten- tion of becoming or are already American citizens into perpetuating their subjection to the royal house of Bernadotte, On the contrary, Mr. Young- berg, who has himself been naturalized, belongs to ‘& party who desire to modify the existing constitu- tion of Norway, which isalready second only to that of England in the treedom which it guarantees to the people. He represents in this respect a large class of intelligent and cultured men, who look forward to the speed: tion of Church and State, and there is no taking his view of the matter, that this reform must soon be accomplished, Mr. Christian Bors, the Consul, very courte- ously reviewed the position and prospects of the new incumbent of the throne of Sweden and Nor- way and the ona of the people towards their hereditary head. ‘hey entertained little venera- tion for the Gign ty of royalty, and retained none of the superstitious reverence which the Kaiser exacts from his subjects, The same individual in- dependence of thought exists in the person of every citizen that had grown into such a puissant combination of sentiment when, in 1809, the despotic and fanatical Adolphus the Fourth was com- ted to abdicate by the united voice of the States, yy the Scandinavians at present temporarily stay- ing in America there was no enthusiasm over the crowning of the new King, nor was there much or very Seer regret for the death ofthe old. It was not—as it has so often been in history—“ Le Roi est mort! Vive le Roi!” but the tragical event was attended by indifference on the part of the subjects of the late Charles the Fifteenth, as ifit concerned very little the interests of the nation. ‘This is, in fact, the rea! truth of the mat- ter. The King is only nominally a ruler. His pow- ers are scarcely as great as those of the President of the United States, The conditions of his office resent astrange anomaly. ‘Fhe constitution of orway, a splendid historic document, reads in one of {ts first sections thus:—“La personne du Rol est sacrée. Il ne peut étre nl blamé ni accusé. Son conseil est responsable de son government.”’ The King’s person is sacred, and he cannot be ac- cused of any crime. His advisers are held respon- sible for his government. The oath which he takes on his coronation in the Cathedral of Drontheim is as restrictive as it is explicit:—‘Je jure par Dieu et son Saint Evangile de gouverner le royaume de meee conformément a e& constitution et ses lo! “It will be seen,” continued the Consul, “how little importance attaches to the person of the King, and tnat the portion of the constitution which ascribes to him superstitious sacredness is merely a happy device by which the government is entirely taken from his #ehoulders and placed upon those of the ministers of the State. The people look upon him with only the same degree of respect which the Chief Magistrate of this country receives in his official capacity. It can be easily under- stood, therefore, that the subscription to this oath of allegiance is merely a matter of con- venience by which the protection of our flag is secured by all who are travellin; abroad and do not intend to relinquish their citizenship in their native country. We do not invite any who have become naturalized since their emigration or who intend to remain here permanently to perform this act, aud, indeed, it is not obligatory upon the subjects of the King, there being no penalty in the law for its omission. It is merely an act of conformation to one of those old laws of the realm that were not repealed at the time of the revolution, and has littie political sig- which they and Tammany Hall stood in their sapport of Horace Greeley. (Cheers.) One word for the ticket. If 8 man were pointed out to him upon it who was dishonest he could say that it tainted the whole. They wanted 0 pettycism, and in the plenitude of conscious virtue they should declare in the spirit of '66 that the ticket was worthy of the cause in which they were engaged. The resolution of Mr. Jenny was lost by a strong majority. . A motion to vote rl gama upon the names upon the ticket was carried. The first question was on the name of Abraham R. Lawrence for Mayor. It was carried amid cheers. Henry Woitman was endorsed with cheers. The candidates for Aldermen were endorsed amid en- thusiastic cheering. Before the Convention adjourned Mr. Rufus F. Andrews addressed them upon the progress of the campaign throughout the State, of which he gave.a view which was very favorable to the liberal cause. OOMMITTEE OF SEVENTY. The Committee of Seventy met last evening in thelr rooms at the Everett House. A sub-com- mittee was occupied for about half an hour hearing some remarks from a delegation from Apolio Hail and one from the Workingmen’s Union. The Apollo Hall delegation recommended the nomina- tion of James O’Brien for Mayor, and the working- men presented the names of John Woods, William Pardee and Peter Daly, whom they requested should be placed on the Aldermanic ticket. The Commitee of Seventy then held a private ren g with Vice Chairman Mr. John Wheeler pre- siding. The nomination of Mr. Wilitam F. Havemeyer for Mayor was warmly endorsed, also Noah Davis for dudge of the Supreme Court ana Hooper C. Van Vorst for Judge of the Superior Court. Uther en- dorsements were deferred to Friday night next. O'OONOR AND ADAMS, The straight-out democrats of this State have, through their Executive Committee, issued an- other address (dated Octover 21), which concludes as follows :-- If the election of the nominees of the Baltimore Convention were within the range of probability it cannot be seen that any gooi to the country or benefit to the eS ean would result irom it, With the legisiative department in the control of the opposition they would be powerless to justily the expectation of the fulfilment of any of the promises made, What then is the duty of demo- crats’ It is to adhere steadfastly to the principles of their party, preserve its integrity and support only those who are its true exponents. They may not be able to save their party from defeat in the coming election, but they will save their honor and preserve at least the nucleus of their party, around which they can hereafter rally. We therefore earnestly appeal to democrats togive their support to the Electoral tickets in favor of O'Conor and Adams wherever they are before the electors, and where there are none, at once to put such Electoral tickets out and to give to them their support. By doing so they will have the Spproval of their own consciences and be cu- titled to the respect of their opponents.

AN ERROR CORRECTED. Sixty Tho: nda Scandinavians Resident in New York. To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:— In yesterday morning's edition of your paper we read an article under the following heading, ‘The King is Dead, Long Live the King,” and in the last paragraph it is stated that there are only 3,000 Scandinavians in this city, when there are in reality between fifty and sixty thousand of these na- tionalities in New York and about fifty thousand in Brooklyn, occupying almost every position of life, as bankers, importers, brokers, merchants, manu- facturers, tradesmen, laborers, &c. They support one daily, one semi-weekly and two weekly papers in their own languages, they have four religious congregations of different denominations in New York and three in Brooklyn, nine societies as _mu- tual benefit, dramatic, musical, sin, and others; and, furthermore, there arrived 000 Scandi- navian immigrants in the port of New York in 1870; between twelve and thirteen thousand in 1871, and todate during this year over ten thou- sand, of which number most certainly twenty per cent or about nine thousand have taken up their abode here, making already three times as many as you have stated. Yours, SCANDIN SAVIANS, TWEED AND ‘NO SURRENDER.” “Big Six” Does Not Present Himself to the Sheriff—An Attempt at a Bargain With Judge Brady—An Argument as to Tweed’s Surrender to Be Heard To-Day. Contrary to general expectation and the assur- ance of Sheriff Brennan and his officials on Satur- day, Mr. Tweed did not surrender himself yesterday in obedience to the bench warrant issued by Judge Brady. In reply to inquiries by a HeRacp reporter Sherif! Brennan yesterday said that Mr. I'weed was at Greenwich, Conn., on Saturday, but that he had ascertained that Tweed had left there. The Sheriff said he did not know where Mr. Tweed was; if he did know he should be compelied to get out a requisition for him, At the same time he had not the slightest belief that Mr. Tweed contemplated leaving the country or being otherwise than quite available when he was wanted. A man who was already held in $1,300,000 bail—$1,000,000 in civil suits and $300,000 in criminal chat -was encom- passed about with too much liability to make ducks and drakes of his property at that rate. Mr. bren- nan said that one of Mr. Tweed’s counsel called upon him yesterday pom and stated that it was his intention to apply t je morning to Judge Brady to hear an application from hi as to the intention of the Court to ie bail upon these indictments. The counsel did not, however, apparently succeed in this, as Judge Brady adjourned the Court of Oyer and Terminer ‘until this mor! a stated, as will be seen in our law reports, he would give a decision in reference to the previous indictments, argument as to which had already been heard, on Wednes- day morning. There Will, therefore, be, of course, no surrender of Mr. Tweed to-day, unless Ju Brady satisiies his counsel as to the bail. eneral impression around the Court was, yester- y, that Judge Brady would on the application to- day K J 4 veg Mr. Tweed a 7 oe _ would not listen to any proposals for @ bargain. If so, Mr. Tweed must either take the chances, of the trial being ordered on at once or continue to remain a fugitive from justice.

Fifth Annual Regatta of the Patapsco Navy. Baltimore Beauties Attend by Thousands. The New York Rowing Club Crew on the Pa- tapsco River—They Defeat the Ariel Club in the Four-Oared Shell Challenge Com test—The Undines the Victors in the Six-Oared Shell Race, BALTIMORE, Oct. 21, 1872, Aquatic sports have been for tne past few years receiving considerable attention from the best residents of this city, and quite a respectable navy has been organized, consisting of three clubs made up from the best elements of Baltimore so ciety. Each year they have held their regattas, and each one has been 4 fair success, attracting te it always the élite of the city fashionables, Some time since it was determined that the fifth annual regatta should excel all tormer ones, and @ chal- lenge was sent to the New York Rowing Club to meet their club, the Ariel, upon the classic waters ot the Patapsco during this regatta, in a four-oared shell race, the prize to the successful crew to bea beaatiful silk flag, decorated with the coas of arms of Maryland, and a blue silk burgee, upon which was to be printed the name of the winning club. The challenge was accepted by the New York club, and for days and even weeks past the coming re- gatta and the principal contest has been the TOPIC OF CONVERSATION agitating all classes, and especially did the Pa tapsco Navy feel the importance of the occasion, Their crew was put hard to work and all the arrangements made for a Buccessfal meeting. To- day was set apart for the regatta, and a diner one could not have been chosen. The sun was out beautifully, and shone with tempered warmth from @ cloudless sky, and the placid waters of the course on which the race was to take place were scarcely disturbed by a ripple. The hour appointed for the first contest was half-] three, und long before that time the streets le: toward the grounds of the navy, situated on northwest branch. of the Patapéco, were literally lined with vehicles of all characters, from the pot | pe to the dashing four-io-hand, filled wit! ladies and gentlemen from THE HIGHEST WALKS OF BALTIMORE SOCIBTY, and by three o’clock at least three thousand people were Within the enclosure, and many more th. ered on the shore along the route. Around the Goat, and, in fact, all inside the enclosure, the scene was beautiful and animated in the extreme. The poy bed art of the assemblage were ladies, elegantly attired, and the variety and style of the beauty displayed of feature, form and dress was. superior to any similar gathering ever scen in this city. The beauty of the scene was heightened by the bright colors of the clubs, and as the members who were to engage in the contest moved about through the throng they exhibited their weather. beaten and bronzed arms with a certain degree of pardonable pride, and were gazed upon with much interest by the fair sex. The New York boys came in for rather more than their share of praise. Toe white Ha of the Ariel, with its blue border and name in letters of like color, foated at one corner of the club house, while at the other waved the BEAUTIFUL SILK PLAG which was to be the prize of the winning crew in the first race. Most of the members of the various clubs wore their respective colors upon their breasts, while many ladies manifested the direcuop of their sympathies in a similar manner, the Ariel, the Undine and ’Hlirondelle each having ite fair champions, and a few wore the colors of the New Yorkers. A band was stationed under the trees, near the cottage, and contributed greatly to the pleasure of the occasion until a few minutes before four o'clock, when an wnusual commotion among the assemblage indicated that the men were bringing their boats out for the first race. The Baltimore crew were the first to drop their shell in the water, and as the crew stripped and maune@ the oars A GENEROUS APPLAUSE went up from the audience at their neat, trim and apparent fine condition. They Re he the compliment and at once put off for the starting point, some half a mile below the boathouse, at good stroke. ‘They had hardly gotten out of the way when the New York boys came out in their shell, dropRed it into the water and prepared for the work. When they were stripped it became at once evident that they would be the winning crew, as they had the advantage in age and in magn their average being 156'¢ pounds, while th the Baltimores was some ten pounds less. The fol- lowing are the names of the crews and their re- spective positions and weights :— NEW YORK ROWING CLUB. G. L, Leland, bow, 150 pounds; Frank Allison, No. 2, otal ; W.H.

The Ariels had a new boat of Elliot's build, the Débutante, forty-one feet long and twenty inches wide. The New Yorkers had the Kerosene, of the same make, and about the same length, width and Weight. As the crews clustered about the boats their appearance attracted much attention. ‘The New Yorkers were in red shirts and biue pantaloons, and the Baltimores in white flannel and blue silk kerchiefs about their heads. There were no coxswains, the bow oar steering. The first race was three miles, the ag stakes one mile and a halfapart. Ata quarter before four o’ciock the crews took their places and rowed to the starting point. The umpires were Mr. Young for the Ariel, and Mr. L. M. Johnston for the New York Club. At the turning stake were the judges, Mr. Bruce Price for the Arieis, and ©. F, Frothingham for the New Yorkers, Mr, corey, ol Washing , President of the Onaloston Boat Club, was referee. Precisely at four o'clock and one minute they were off. The Ariel took the lead, aud rot away half a length before (orkers were settled to their work fairly.
