WEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1874.-QUINTUPLE SHEET, a BOATING. ON THE HUDSON. Fall Regattas of the Atlantic and Oneida Clubs. Fine Rowing, Pleasant Weather and Everybody Happy. The waters of the Hudson between Pleasant | Yaliey and Shady Side were yesterday afternoon cleft by the prows and flurried into little waves by the paddles of numerous vessels, There were steamboats and barges, laden with young men Daving exuberant health and animal spirits, and ladies blooming with beauty and endowed with all the graces that are likely to make a sensitive reporter become & rhapsodist; while tugs were crowded with knowing young mea ing m oud comments on the strong- armed oarsmen who propelied the smaller craft, Iwo boating clubs baving regattas on the Pleasant Valley courses were tne causes of all the excitement yesterday, They were the Oneida Boat Ciup, of Jersey City, and the Atiantio club, of Hoboken, The former club conveyed its umerous guests to the course in the fine sieamer Josephine, and besides that vessel, had the tugboat Levi Davis to take the judges and releree over the course immediately in the wake of the contesting boats, The races in THE REGAITA OF THE ONEIDA CLUB were three in number, and caci oi them proved very interesting trom the sturdy manner in which it was contested. The first was for the working boat championship, and its course was two miles long, from the Pieasant Valley Dock to the dock of the Chemical Works at Suady Side, The entries tor the race were:— 3. L. Henry... Wm. Clarke, Jr. . . Mr. Henry did not come to the starting point, however, and Messrs. GUckerbausen and Clarke Were, tuerelore, the only contestants tor the pri @ haudsome gold medal. they were started a: 4 34m, 353., Ockeruatsen t king water the speedier, aud getting thus @ ieaga of about hall a lengta. Both puiled .9 strokes per munate, Ciarke’s strokes at first lacked the force of his oppo- Rents, When they bad rowed about hail a mile, Clarke, baviug increased the power of his strokes, began to Work up to fis leader, and by the time they had passed over One-third of the course he had taken an even position With him, He was bow apparently determming to go by lis auversary when Uckerhausen iollowed the example that vad been set lor him, aud by epurting, regained the advantage he haa belore won and Jost, Now, he either steered badly or thought that he could sately take Clarke’s water, for he ran across the bow of the latter’s boat; and ae Mr. Clarke determined not to be stopped by such ao litt.e thing as the broadside of a working buat, he was run into, Neither oi the boats were injured, however, and the oarsmen again started to finish the race. Mr. Ockernausen started first after the joul, with wn sdvantage of several Jengths. But his opponent did not hurry him; so he iessened (be numver of nis strokes, aud finished the course at3h. 47m. 20s, His time over the course Was 12m. 458, Mr. Clarke pulled easily aicter the foul, and passed the goai twenty lengths astern of Ockerhausen. His time was ldm. Svz., but as the foul had been done 10 him the judges veciared bim the winner of toe race, ‘The next race was for the SINGLE CULL CHAMPIONSHIY, Jor it:— and there were entered WwW Colors.

Soon Hardenburgh, who put out his entire strength when he vegan to sow, passed Joruen, who quickly lapsed to the rear, Grego: and Schanck jassing him in ture. Hardenburgh Was now auead, with nobody tu furry hun; Jordan Was last, pullingas if he had no desire to get a better position, while for the time the interest of the race was io the struggle berween Schanck and - Gregory. Th.s Schanck ended by passing his com- peRtor and then pulling away trom him rapidly. jordan and Gregory had a short contest, in which the jormer won; and meanwhile Schanck, who was rowing remarkably weil, caught up with, passed and leit Haruenburgh in his rear. The situation of the oarsmen was now, Schanck lead- ing, Hardenourgh second, but fagged, with the sturdy Jordan coming up to bim rapidly; whue Gregory, in the rear, was as much intent upon the siraps of his stretcher as upon the race. Aboviamile of the course being gone Jordan came up with Hardenburgh, and, aliera slight re sistance on iis part, 1e passed him. Schanck was ll leading and pulling finely, and Gregory was jast. The latter was puiling rather weak until Ae happened to get a view of the fagged Harden- burgh just before bim; then he spurted, with the laudab.e intention, no doubt, of proving the Scrip- tural declaration that “the first shail be last, and the last shall be first.” But, uniortunately, his foot- straps again attracted his eye, aud ne stupped to raze at them for the purpose of future recognition. mt of sympathy ior hun, pernaps, Hardenburgh also stopped, and thus both virtually put them- selves out of the race, although trey quickly started again. Ali this time Scnanck and Jordan Were pulling finely. Schanck’s 5 jorceful strokes per moute kept him away irom competition and he reached tie goal about ten lengths ahead of dordan, finishing the course in 12m. 358, Jordan’s time was 14m. 10s.

INTERNATIONAL {CULL RACE. +—_— The Spirited Contest Between Brown and Morris at St. John, N. B.—Brown Rows the Five Miles and Wins in Thirty-seven Minutes. Sr. JOHN, Sept. 26, 1874. St. John was early astir this morning, but a dense fog hanging over the city, a great many who had intended witnessing the Brown-Morris match, which haa been postponed from yesterday on account of the water not being suitaple, did not leave the place, thinking that tue race would again be delayed. By seven o'clock, the time an- nounced for starting the men, about two thousand people had as embled in the vicini y of the men’s quarters. A light mist hung over the course, only a part of which could be seen, The water was smooth, and a light wind clearing the mist away, there appeared to be nothing to hinder the contest coming off. “John Shea, representative for Morris, atthe last moment thougut the turning buoys were not properly moored, and by the time this aitculty had been removed it was forty minutes past nine o’clock. On tossing for position Morris’ representative won, and chose next the shore, sarcastically remarking that Morris was the losing man, Shea was Of opinion that the starting boats were not in position, and when they were adjusted to his satisfaction lt was thought that the race would then take place. But no! There was another objection by Shea, that the water was rough at Appleby’s wharf, about amile up the course. Morris, who had been in his boathouse at Riverside some length of time, was ordered to bed by Shea. The referee looked at the water at the point named and pronounced it too rough. The backers of Brown were dissatisfied and the crowd impatient, and they hau just cause lor it, At no time during the morning was the water so that the race might not have taken place without violating tne ar- tucles, THE START. When the difilculties had been removed it was nearly one o’ciock, and then a ripple was observed on the water, lasting over an hour, Morris sent word to Brown that le had decided to row, and the intelligence was welcomed. When Morris leit he was surrounded by the crowd and londly cheered. Fifteen minutes later Brown emerged from his quarters and set out jor Torryourn Cove and launched his boat, ; rowing toward tne starting point, Morris dong the sume. Alter receiving directions irom the reieree the men got into line, it thea being three kK. ‘The water Was a8 smooth as a mirror. 0”? was shouted by the reieree, and the men were off, brown taking the water first, pulling 36 strokes to the minute, Morris follow- Ing at 52 By the time Brown had reached the first. quarter of @ mune he had been overhauled | by Morris, and tney rowed side by side for a lew | lengths, Morris pushed his boat ahgad at Apple- by’s wharf, being encouraged by the snouts of hus friends assembied there. He spurted for a short aistance, maintaining @ lead of ball a length. Brown rowed steadily on, bemg even with Morris at the buoys, the distance having been rowed in 18m, 20s, They turned together and started down the course, Brown gradually taking the lead, being nearly a length m auvance a iew rods from | Appleby’s wharl, brown was sendiog bis boat along at the rate of 34 strokes to the minute, Morris at 31, ‘The latter slowly gained on his | opponent, so that they were even at the wharl.

From this point to within naif-a-dozen lengths of the finish there was some fine rowing, neither man being able 10 gatu on his antagonist, and the excitement became intense. brown spurted, Morris doing the same; but the latter was evi- dently weary. brown pushed abead, winning the international scullmg race by tures-quarters of a fares in 37m., and taking the stakes, $4,000 in gold, Both men were cheered on rowing to the shore, When Brown was tukeo to his quarters he was brought on the veranda and three cheers given lim. He then proposed the same Jor his late op- ponent, and they Were given with a will, Nearly | all the’ Halitax people returned home t ‘The two oarsmen ieave on Monaay. TERMS OF THE RACE. Ever since the Brown-Scharff race, the present | one bas been in agitation, Morris threw down the guuntiet oy issuing a card oftering to row any mon in America tor $2,000 4 side, As Brown was endeavoring to efiect a race with Sadier, of Eng- land, he deerred giving his attention to this challenge unt he found that Sadler was playing with him. Morris’ challenge was then accepted by Brown, through the Haltiax Row- ing Ciub, As srown was uncertain whether a natch could be arranged between him and Sadler he wanted the contest to take place at Halifax, so that he should be at home immediately alter, ta the event of Sadler consenting to poll with him. Some enterprising St, John meu telegraphed Mor- is offering to pay his expenses—$400—1i the race was rowed on the Kenneveccasis, but Mo-ris hung aiter consul- tation.
