A FINISH UNDER A MISAPPREHENSION St. Jonm, N. B., June 6, 1877. For many yearsthe seaport town of St. John, N. B., bas held high rank among the principai boating places of this contiment, the clear crystal hke waters of the Kenebekasis River baving been the scone of some tue most oxolting and memorable rowing contesta that ever delignted the heart of the lover of this pastime, Of the numerous events which have conduced to render this locality aquatically historical vone have lad greater interest attached than the scullers’ race of this atternoon between Fred A, Plaisted, of New York, and Wallace Roas, of St. John, for $1,000 im gold, which was satisfactorily decided over a four mile straightaway course, The contest was interesting throughout, tho result being the success of the New Brunswick oarsman, who gailantly won his laurels, THE MAIOH, Early m the past spring the present backer of Plaisted looked earnestly around for a chance to give him an early meeting with some prominent pro- fessional, The mauper in which the Greenwood Lal victory bad been achieved so favorably impressed bis Supporters it was resolved to match him against any- body in New England, and te this end a chullenge was issued. No notice being taken of the invitation Mr, H. G. Meeker, of New York—Fred’s best Iriend—con- cluded to cross the border for an opponent, and Plaisted being willing the intimate aquaintances of Ross were notifica of the willingnoss of the States party, To the club of citizens who are under Contract to give Ross so much money per week until October next ag an equivalent to row all the faces be can meanwhile get on, the proposition submitted by Plaisted’s backer, gave unbounded sutistaction. Sub- sequent negotiations quickly entered into mado its way for the event, and without hitch everything was omicably decided upon and the articles of agreement Signed on the 2d uit, with the result known. Judg- ing from various reports the backers of Ross thought tue year of lucky matches had come, for they regarded the money put up by the Yorkor as good as in their Pockets, so doon as tho dotails had vecn arranged, They felt that the contest would be little else than a walk over, for Plaisted as a sculler was not well thought of from their gtandpoint, Meanwhile the progress of affairs was watched with interost, and any Information from the States concerning Plaisted was devoured with avidity by the not too sanguine friends of the Brunswick man. The provisions of ‘tho articles were carried out to tho letter, THE MEN IN TRAINING, Five days before tho consummation of the match (April 27) Ross left bis home im St. John and pro- ceeded to make the Torryburn House, seveo miles up the turnpike and less than one quarter of a milo [rom the Kenebokasis, lis ining quarters, There, ub- der the watchful ey: of attendants, be gradually divested himself of encumbering flesh, which with him 1s at timeg bothersome, by rowing and walking. , Though be ‘bad nay sufligient work in his Practice shell, owing to the roughness bhe water for days at a time, be was Ot for tho struggle.
