It 18 quite loudly asserted by some of the Vespers’ friends in this city that this well known Philadeiphia club would accept either, of the Harlem River clubs for a four oared “race, and this bold talk has occasioued considerable comment, but appears to elicit nothing definite in the way of achalenge. The magnificent house of the Vespers has always opened its hospitable doors to such guests us they could harbor during re- gatta times, and the club has been more creditably rep- resented in oper amateur races than either of the other Ph ladelphia clubs; therefore, as a highly creditable vic- | tory or honorable ‘defeat is to be had by giving theso genial gentlemen a race, nnd the last news is that a challenge, even from the Argonautas, would not be re- uuadreds of your readers, bugle blast sounded for a tilt, es- Vesper four is enter race in the coming Centenn al regatta, VE ROWING CHALLENGE REPUDIATED.

And the only reason why all (he net earnings have not been divided «mong the stockholders, and the new property acquired paid for out of the stock in the Treasury was because, in the judgment of the defendant's directors, Nt was thought that the interests of the stockholders would be best promoted by paying lor a portion of the now property acquired out of current earnings. dividend of one and one-half per cent, deciared on the 7th day of June, i# the only detribut of eornings made by the company among its stockholders for the 6x months, January to Ju; both inclusive, 1876; whereas the earnings for the said eix months, June being estimated, ure $1,524,279 32. Thus, only about one-third of the net earnings tor said period have beon given to the stockholders ag dividend, while a large sum has been used in payment for property acquired Vetore and during the game period, Tho only just ground of complaint which any bond fide stockholder could possibly have might be that the entire net earn- not appropriated to stockholders in this ‘aud new al raised to pay for the newly acquired property above monttoned.
