Riley to Row Hanlan on Next ‘Wednesday. Everythins in Readiness. Special Dispatch to Tux Brx. Curcaco, May 19—4 p. m.—The Journal's Washington special, says: The Hanlan-Courtney race is the overshadowing topic of conversation to-day and but little interest is mani- fested in the procesding of congress. The weather is all that could ba de- sired and there will be no drawbask on this account. Neither Haulan or Courtney were in view thie morning. A report that the latter was suffering from headache has created much ex- citement, and resulted ia shaking the confidence of his backers. His physician says he s all right and in good condition to row, ' and Referee Blaikie says the same < thing. Many people believe Courtaey is shamming, and that bs is going to perpetrate a surprise and wia the race. Betting is in favor of Hanlan by large odds. The city is 6ll-d with strangers, and arrangements have been 8o well carried out thac every person will be enabled tosca the race who desres to.

The Race. Special Dispatch to The Bee. WasuiNotos, May 19—10 p. m. “Stapendous fizzle,” “grand sell,” “iganticsell.” These ara the excla- mations one hears on every nigtt coucernivg the outcome of the Hanlan-Courtuey race to-day. A hundred thoosaud people are talking of the performance,and on all sides there is nothir indignation and disguet. It would be ridiculous to call it a fair race, forit was more like afaneral procossion Oneman rowed leisorcly over the course, one man eame up looking sick, rowad herd for Bfty orone for himself behind, gaveup the rice, pad- yina dejected, punful 8ozt of foshion, aud then paddled more owly and d+jectedly back to his boat house.

Couriney splished for _the first two strokes aadtuenseitled down and pulled thirty-two strong strokes in the first minute, but the strok:s though strong, had no 1f5 in thew, and at the end of the first minute, it was evident that Hanlan was elipping shcad. A minots more and he hai a pronounced lead of & length and tne race, 85 far as there was eny race, was over. Callsto Courtneyfora spurt elicited no reply ravea dejectod shake of the head and a percepticls slowing is stroke. Hinlan rowed on then, finding that Courtney was al- readybeat, and be had a safo lead of thrae or four lengths, hs, too, 12t up, stopped an instant to sca what wasthe matter, and then jogged on leisurely threa-fourths of amile down.

Hails nounced officially as 46 mi 2.5 seconds, bat n-body terest in_tho time, not only there had beea o race ani ro hard pailinz, butas i'self was a failure the acocesories of tha raco were. Never befora in the history of bouting in this country bas such a great concourse of people gathered to witnossa boat race.

The great acqueluct bridg scemed as if it must snk un- der the great throng which had crowds ed on it, filing both roaiwey and walk, from which water had been as & matterof safety. It was a worth going wiles to see.

His dccision on this was on the advice of his friends, who thought it would be b for him to row than to withdraw. Hanlan is, of course, in fine feather to night.

In response to a s-penade at his hotel tonight, Hanlan madea litt.e spech which has attracted some af tention because it seams ay though it must tend to a matsh with Riley. He said: “I came torow a race, cnd am | sorry I did not row one, althoagh I went over the course. I will row Ri- ley any time.” Talk has been going on fora week concerning Riley's ability to Hanlan, and the former e2id to-night that he thmks he will accommodate Hanlan and is anxious to try, but did not care to till after the Providence egatta.

They were also both alaimed and disgusted by tho cowardico of Gladstone in respect to his abject note of apology to Austria, an act ef cov ardice he could say quite unexampied in the bi-tory cf the governmeut.
