NINETEENTH YEAR. THE MIDSUMMER DULLNESS Office Beckers Look Not Upon the ‘White House. JAKE KILRAIN AND BABY M'KEE, Baltimore's Pride Shakes With the Reported gilistic Youngster— The Poot Hays Mentioned for the Russian Mission. 513 FOURTRENTH STREET, Wasmixaroy, D. C,, July 5. The premdent is not expected to return to Washington before Saturday night, niean- while the white house holds no attraction for the ofce-seekers, Secretary Helford was at his desk to-day, dictating letters. The mantle of midsummer dullness has settled over the place. Mr. Halford says heleft Mr. Harrison and the McKees at Deer Park, well and happy. The story about one of the babies hitting the other on the head with a stick, necessitating the sudden call for u dootor on the traic, he says, was the combi- nation and exaggeration of two trifling cir- cumstances not even remotely associated with each other, and the authorizized ver- sion 18 as follows: A day or two ago Benja- min Harrison McKee struck the baby over the head with a duster, while at play, doing no damage worth speaking of except to the duster, the handle of which was broken. This occurred at the white house. On the train the baby merely got o little sca- sick or travel-sick, for which Benjamm Harrison McKee was in no way respohsible. Mrs. Harrison thought - a doctor ought to see he little girl and the physician attending Kilrain, who oc- cupied the sleeper in front, was called in. He found that the child needed no attention. The story ascribing pugilistic qualities to Benjamin Harvison McKee may have been told to Kilrain, for when the party got to Deer Park he got out of his car and went to look at the youngster. He found him with Mrs. Harrison just being lifted from tho car. The two great men, Kilrain and Baby Beajamin Harrison, McKee, shook hands ‘The whole white house party at Deer Parl will remain with Senator Davis for a few days until the Spencer cottage, which they will, occupy, is ready for their reception. The Spencer cottage is a neat looking one, with a high pitched roof, painted red, pleasantly eituated in full view of the hotel and about onc hundred yards to the east of it. It is about the same distance to the west of Senator Davis’ home and but a few steps to the north of the El- kins cottage. It contains eight rooms, four on énch floor, besides several small roowms for the servants. It is neatly furnished and when 1n order will present a very homelike appearance. A car load of furniture from the Indianapolis residence was brought theee early in the week. Mrs. Harrison and the resident are not strangers at Deer Park. [hey have spenv a portion of nearly every summer thcre for the past ten years as the guests of Senator and Mrs. Davis, and will mneet a large number of their old friends. As yet nothing special has been arranged for their entertainment. Mrs. Harrison needs rest and will remain very quiet for a week av least. After that time she may hold one or two general receptions, and a reception may be given at the hotel in her houor. The pre: ident is expected to go up on Saturday with Private Secretary Halford and remain over Sunday and return to his desk on Monday. E ' This city is a great place for conventions, but one of the most curious orgunizations that has ever met here is 1n session now, being the Puzzle league. It is composed of the editors of the puzzle columns on news- pavers and men who tangle up their brains with such things for amuscment. Atthe meeting of the league to-day several inter- esting papers were read and several disputed oints were decided. The next meeting will e held in New York on Thanksgiving day. KILLED FOR FIVE OENTS. ‘Washington appears to be suffering from an_epidemic of murders, but they oceur chiefly among the low class of colored people who live on the outskirts of the city. There have been three men of this class killed within the last four days, and last night one ‘was stabbed with an ordivary three-pronged steel fork, whi was driven into his breast, in a quarrel over the ownership of a 5-cent piece.

An old gentlemun named Thomas I, Em- mett, living in Nelson county, Vireinia, acc dentally nscertained from he records of the ension office, u few months ago, that the eirs of his grandfather, Churchill Gibbs, of Virginia, were entitled (o the sum of §69,000 accrued peunsion money, which has been lying to his credit as a veteran of the revolu- tionary war for nore than sixty years. At the request of the parcies interested Senator Daniel, of Virginia, undertook a settlement of the case and has been advised that the amount above named will be paid to the heirs of the estate, provided they can show that the Churchill Gibbs, to whom the gov- ernment is indebted for the amount, was their grandfather; and otherwise establish their elaim to the money. There are nine grandchildren interested. THE PERSIAN MINISTER'S SULK. Hadje Hnssein Ghooly Kahn, the Persian minister to the United States, will shortly leave this coun for Europe. In an ioterview to-day he told a reporter he had been driven out of the country by the unkind and ungenerous things which had been written about him and his sovereign in American newspapers. The minister said he had no fault to finl with the government or its ofticers, Inquiry at the Persian legation to-day de- Velops. tho fact that the nowspaper extracts of which the minister complains so bitterly, are mostiy duplicates, many of them Asso- cinted press dispatches or special dispatches and letters furnished by syndicates. He has had these chippings furnished by a press news bureau, and, a8 they charge so much per clipping, they have not always been careful about sending him not only duph- cates but sowetimes ten or twenty copies of the same article, which he has placed in his scrap book and translated each time as the expressions of public opinion. Many of them are cablegrams from London giving the gossip about the expected visit of the shab, and in no way attempt to express or reflect the sentiment of the American people. A large part of the olippings ulso are devoted 1o comments upon tho appearance nad con- duct of the minister since he came to Wash ington. His custom, his mode of hfe, his mauuners, his conversation, huve been the objects of comment by lettec-writers here in hington ever since his arrival. He hus been the topie particularly ol the corresvondents for country newspapers and scientific writers, but there i not in the entire collection one single par- agraph of editorial comment unfavorable to him or to his government. The contents of his scrap book show that he has been treated swith a great deal more respect and defer- ence than the president of the United States, Both Clevelund and Harrison have a great deal more to complain of in this respect, than the Persian minister, who thinks that the vernment ought to control the press as it oes in Persin und lock up the editors of papers who print disagreeavle things, HAY MENTIONED FOR RUSSIA, It is understood here that John Hay, the poet, will be tendered the Russian mission upon the return of the president from Con- necticut, which will be sad news for Elliott F. Shophard. Mr. Hay is not a candidate for any offico but_has accented a temporary itorship on the New York Tribune, during e absence of Whitelaw Reid in Europe. He is now in Europe seeking a little rest before clalmng the the tripod. His friends say that his arrangements with the New York Trib- une will not permit him to accept the Rus- sian wission or any other appointment, WILL IT STRIKE PATTERSON{ R T, Patterson, who is & candidate for postmaster at Memphis, Tenn., was a mem- ber of the same Ohfo regiment of which As- sistant Secretary Bush, of the interior de- partment, was colouel, and Seoretary Noble adjutant.

Bostox, July 5.-~The United States senate committee on inter-state commerce began its session here to-day. Several railroad oficials are being examinad, Prasident Bliss, of the Boston & Albany railway, stated that ho was not one of those who believed the Grand Trunk railrond should be prevented at this late day from doing business in the United States, pro- vided, howaver, they were subject to ull the rules and regulations to which American roads are subjected. He had no personal knowledge that the Ca- nadian roads were making reduced rates, butit was the general opinion that they were. If they make reduced rates to in- dividuals he considered that they failed to comply with the vrovisions of the inter-state commerce rates. If the system granting sub- sidies to the Canadian roads was continued it would be injurious to Boston in so far as it would divert trade from Boston. Bliss claimed if it was just to regulate American roads so that they can pot com- pete with water lines it is just also 10 regulate Cavadian roads ‘so thoy can not prey upon American roads after tho latter are tied up. Senater Blair tried hard to make the president say that if Canadian competition was removed the roads would increase their churges, but the wit- ness would not do so, stating that if the Ca- nadian roads were subjected to the same reg- ulations as the American roads the latter would have to take their chances in competi- tion. He was not disposed to think the Ca- nadian ronds the public benefactors that the people thought thew el Ty AT CROW CREEK. The Sioux Commission Arrives There —First Council on Sunday. Crow CrEk AGENeY, Dak., (via Chamber- lain, Dak.) July b.—[Special Telegram to Tug Bes.|—The Sioux commission arrived at this agency about noon to-day and at once notified the Indians of their presence and that they wished to hold a council with them as soon as possible. To-morrow will be issue day, and nearly allof the Indians will be camped about the agency awaiting their rations, Sunday will be held the first coun- cil, and @s notroubleis anticipated, the signing will begin about Monday noon. From this agency the commission go to Cheyenne agency, and will undoubtedly be there about Wednesday of next week. In an interview with White Ghost at Chamberlain yesterday, he informed your correspondent that ne had not been very favorable to the bill at first, but having talked with General Crook mad Major Warner, he now could see wherein it con- tained one of the most essontial provisions for his people—in the matter of schools. With White Ghost, the acknowledged head chief of the Crow Creek Indians, in _favor of the_treaty, very much is gained. The ex- ceedingly warm weather, with a prevailing hot_wind, has destroyed the crops in this section, and this makes an argument for the Indian to sell his land and secure further aid from the Great Father. The sawme condition of affairs exists here 1n relation to General Jrook as at other agencies, he being cred- ited by the Indians with all the influence. Ata council held last night by him with the Brules, who have signed, they wisbed to thorouizhly impress this fact upon his mina, “hat they hiad signed solely because ho (General Crook) had asked them to do so. Many of those present at Brule will be at Crow Creek and excite an_influence over their brethren, both this agency and Lower Brule being under one ageut, W. Wanderson. e GENERAL SHERMAN'S SON.

THE FEDERAL CONSTITUTION It Is Ratified by the South Dakota Convention. TERRITORY ARCHIVES AND DEBTS A Slight Wrangle Over the Size of the Commission Which Wifl Visit Bismarck and Settle the Question, Some Haira Split. Stoux Farrs, Dak., July 5.—(Special Tele- gram to Tnz Bee.|—Some of the delegates in the constivutional convention began to split hairs this afternoon, and unless the time sorvers are sat down upon the little work there is to do will not bo completed under three or four weoks. Tho disposition to postpone final action on simple and woll- matired questions probably made some of the delegatos who mean business reflect upon the suggestion that there are those who want to stay till the $20,000 appropriated by con- gress for the expenses of the convention is oxhausted. AlL of the seventy-five delegates were present except the Deadwood judge, who refuses to serve bscause he 1s already on the pay roll of Uncle Sam, and very prop- erly holds that ho is not eligible. He told his constituents what the result would be during the campaign, but they thought they knew more law than their federal judiciary and elected him. His seat will -be vacant. The democrat who ran against him does not cluim the place, contrary to custom in con- gross, Congratulatory telegrams were read from the constitutional conventions of North Da- kota and Washington, The former, telo- graphed from Bismarci: ‘“The constitutional convention of North Dakota sends greeting and bids you God- speed in your advancement toward state- hood and full American citizenship. May the four new stars about to be added to the national flag not lose in brilliancy through lack of care in laying the foundations of the states to be. Let Washington bring fruits and flowars, Montana its precious metals to add to the beauty and wealth of the nation, whilo the Dakotas will bring wheat and corn to feed the people of the world.” The oficors nominated by the_republican caucus last night were all formally _elected. Democratic candidates were placed betore tha convention, and each roccived an aver- age vote of 21 out of tho 73 votes cast. By a rising vote, without dissent and with cheers, the constitution of the United States was adobted as a part of the constitution for the state of South Dakota. A delegate, as the convention was being seated after the vote, said: “[Ihere are no rascals here.” From the committce on rules, to whom it was yesterday referred, a report was made on the question of a_commission to visit Bis- marck and acting with a commission of simi- lar proportion from the North Dakota con- vention, agrec upon a division of the terri- tory’s archives and indebteducss. The com- mittee recommended that the commission, on the part of this convention, should consist of seven delegates. This was believed to be 100 many. Fourteen men would proloag the work and exercise less judguent than six or on. Every man who wanted very much to be a member of the commission—and most of them did—began to object and make sugges- tions with a view to forcing his way. The whole question finally went over till to-mor- Xow afteruoon, When it will bo a special or- er. At tho same time the pronosition to appoint three delegates on a similar joint commission to go to Bismarck and settle the ques- tion of the true boundary line be- tween the two states will be con- sidered. It is held that thore are two well defined, “seventy standard paral- lels,” and that if, as provided by congress, the “scventy parallels’ are recorded with: out defining which one of the seventy stand- ards is the parallel, there will be moré troubie over the boundary line between tho states. It is claimed thav the general land office aud interior d out at Washingt haye rec- ognized Lwo seventy standards parallel. Major Kellaw, of Brale county, who was a member of the origimal constitutional con- vention, presided to-day, President Edgerton being at Brookings making an address to the veterans.

'There are about fifty other committces to which will be roferred all matters per- taining to the constitutios KFancher Formally Elected. Bismancs, Dak. July 5.—[Special Telegram to Tur Bee.|—On convening to-day the con- stitutional convention carried out the caucus programme by the election of F., B. Fancher, the republican-farmers’ alliance candidata, to the presidency of the convertion. The democrats nominated Judge John E. Carland, of Bismarck, and Fancher was clected bya vote of 52 to 17, one democrat voting for Fancher and five delegates not voting. The actual democratic strength in the convention is 19, against 56 republican, Upon taking the chair Fancher delivered a speech, the tone of which, coming as it did from a strong Farmers’ alliance man, was a pleasant surprise. Many have feared that the alliance victory meant radical and in- jurious clauses in the coustitution, During tus speech Fancher said: #*As presidiog oficer I can not promise very much. I am not very well versed in parliamentary law, but I think Iwill venture to do my best to please you, to endeavor to carry out your wishes and to aesist you in embodying in this constitution for North Dakota the sound judgment and level- headedness of the whole people of North Dakota and not to foster the interests of uny man or particular class of men, If, after sowe experience, 1 shall succeed in meeting your approval the end attained will have justified you in your action to-day. IfI shall be so unfortunate as to fail, I do most solemnly assure you it shall not have been my fault, but my misiortune, for I will muke every effort W succeed.” It is apparent, however, that the farmer politicians are clated over their victory, and that an attempt will be made to insert anti- railroud clauses, Editor Blackwell, of the Woman's Journal, Boston, who is here in the interest of woman suffrage, said in an interview he did not desire to see the convention attempt to settle the guestion. He 18 in favor of baving the couvention leave the matter in the hands of the legislature, knowing, as he does, that North Dakota at present is strongly opposed o his b hobby, o that With regard to}@prohibition, says that while ho is & prohibitionlst: person- ally, he is not mixing the quesiion with his woman suffrage work, and intimated that he was Dot here 1o take any rt in the fizht gn this question.

Edgerton by acciamation as president of the South Dakota canstitutional conven- tion has carried consternation into the camps of the senatorial aspirants, for many of the shrewdest politicians believe it wiil be fol- lowed by the election of the old man to the United States senate next winter. Moody and Pettigrew are both aggressive, impru- dent and impracticable, while Edgerton is smooth, cool, deliberate, pacific and oily and has fewer cnemies than any one of the trio.

This seats Wallman, who boars the certificate of eloction, though the returns 1 the secretary of tho territory's offico show that he received ten fewer votes than Francis, his opponent. This fact was not discovered until very recently. The latter has not vet become aware of his victory, consequently is not here to enter a st. It was agreed that on his appear- ance his caso would be heard by the convention. The oath of office was then ad- ministered to the delegates by Chief Justice Hanford. Hon. John P. Hoyt. of Kings county,was chosen president. During recess President Hoyt sent a message of sympathy to the suffers from the fire at Ellensburg, embodying a resolution of the convention. The convention elected for the remaining oficers the nomiuees of the republican cau- cus.

CrreAo, July 5.—The mysterious Cronin suspect about whom the police made so much ado last night and to-day, has been released after being in close confinement twenty hours, Notwithstanding the reports that he bore a striking resemblance to Patrick Cooney, “The Fox,” it turns out that the ex- prisoner is a Irenchman named Frank Urumble. Frank separated from his wife not long ago, and has been resorting to various outlandish expedients to conceal his whereabouts. In his cups he talked about Dr. Cronin in a way that, coupled with other matters, led to the suspicion that the young Frenchman was in some manner connscted With the great Clan-na-Gael conspiracy.

Extradition is regarded as certain. - Another Mysterious Chicago Arrest. Cuicao, July 5.—At a late hour lastnight detectives from the central station took a man to the Harrison street station and locked him up in the witness cell. The sreatest secrecy was observed by the offi- cers, who refused to say who their prisoner was and why he was arrested. It is thought the est wus made in connection with the Cronin case. It wus also said the prisoner was none other than the man who drove Cronin from the Conklins to the Carlson cottage, iy A CAPTAIN'S ORUELTY, He Knocks an Insubordinate Soldier Senseless at Bismarck, Bismanck, Dak., July 5.—[Special Tele- gram to Tk BBE.|—The only thing that has happened to mar the pleasure of the Feurth of July celebration and welcome to the con- stitutional convention here was the krocking down of a soldier of the Twelfth United States infantry by Captain Fechet, of the Eighth cavalry, of Fort Yates, The private was intoxicatea and boisterous while waiting for the train to start on the journey to tho fort. Captain Fechet ordered the private, ‘whose name was Dugen, to sit down. The order was not obeyed, Thereuvon the cap- tain grabbed a gun and struck Dugen with the butt end, the blow knocking the soldier senseless and splitting one of his ours from top to bottom, It was nearly ten minutes before the soldier regained consciousness, and it was thought he would die, An examination proved to the contrary, and after the sewing up of his ear he was taken aboard the trawm, Captain Fechet was placed under arrest by the civil authorities here, but was cased on his own recoznizance; to appear in court here. While the crowat of bystanders were greatly enraged at the ‘captain’s conduct, there is u difference of opinion as to justifica” tion, some cluiming that Dugen is of evil dis- position und threatened to strike the captain, The mob about the hotel'at oune time talked of assaulting Kechet, but the more con- servative, who learned of Dugen's wsub- ordination, were sileot.

All the sports, includ- ing Sullivan and Kilraif, go out to West End to-morrow night to witness a swimming match. Donovan spoke about Kilrain’s condition. He said: “Wait till you see him. I venture to say that no prize fighter ever was in such abso- lutely perfect shape as Jake is, and I am equally sure no man ever trained as honestly as he has, Do I think he will whip Sullivan? Why, Iam sure of it.

It has been arranged that no part of the gate money will be paid over until the fight is finaliy decuded, and if there is not a squara fight it will not bo paid over at all, but be returncd to the ticket holders. This is the programme of the local managers, and they are reliable men and will be very apt to carry out their programme, Sullivan Resumes Practice. NEW OnLeaxs, July 5.—The odds are stil largely in favor of Sullivan in the pool rooms, Dbut this is probably owing to the non-arrival of his adversary. Some of the latter's co- horts aver that their man will in no wise suffer in_comparison with Sullivan, but on the contrary say thut Kilrain will show up in much beiter form. At 10:30 this morning Sullivan, Muldoon and Cleary proceeded to the gymnasium club rooms and proceeded to the hall in the third story, where the doors were closed and outsiders excluded. ‘The three men stri pped and the first half hour was spent_in practic o with Muldoon's medicine ball, a sphero eighteen inches in diameter and weighing about twenty-five pounds. The —exercise seemed to give Sullivan not the slightest fatigue, After the ball came the dumb-betl exercises and Sullivan and Muldoon wres- tled the former gaining several falls, Sulli- van showed himself in perfect condition Kilrain Leaves C CixcINNATI, Juty b.—Kilrain and party left this morning on the regular train for New Orleans on the Queen & Crescent route.

'Ihe Kilrain party chieered iustily as the train pulled out and a faiut response came from the spectators. “The party was much troubled this morning by the ap nce in the carof a well known Ohio detective. The notion seized them that e was gowg to ride with them to Missis- sippi and there muke thie arrest in the hope of gelting u reward. ‘They questioned tho detective, who said he was ouly going to Lexington to arrest a man, nenmnatl. The City Divided in Opinion, New Onugaxs, July 4—It is a noticeable fuct that while the central portion of the city are disposed to side with Sullivanathe uppe sections of the eity are lurgely in favor of Kilrain, A visit was paid to the rooms of the Southern Atbletic club to-day, and quite a number of the members were found, all of whom expressed themselves as confident of Kilrain's success in the forthcoming battle, A membar of the club who is somewhat of an authority in pugilistic affuirs said Sul- livan was not in the trim he expected him to be and that it was o well known fact that he could stand but little punishment about the heart aud stomach. He would not, of course, like to bet even on the result, though he feit —_— ~ NUMBER 18, sure Kilrain would ocome ®ff a viotor, but he thought 100 to HI\A. ir odds on Sullivan and would not 'Y ate to take such odds when the proper came, Other members of the club, in rt of their opinion, said men like Billy Arthur Chambers and_Dominick M roy, all of whom knew both men well, would not: be found to side with Kilrain if they did not know what they were doing, Both Madden and Chambers were with Sullivan in the fight with Ryan, and McOaffroy fought six rounds with him when he was supposed to b his best days, and th surel, o not underrate Sullivan, According to reports received Sullivan has not near the wind Kilrain has, and he is be- sides entirely too heavy about the hips. The rooms of the Southern Athletic club, which have been set apart for Kil: rain_and his seconds, are very cool and nleasant, ana are situated in a handsome twvo story framo building adjoined to und owned by the club, Kilrain and his seconds will be able to enjoy greater seclusion than his trainers, as they will not have to go out into th » street at all to go to and from the gymnasium, of the Associnted p hile crossing Lake Ponchartrain this morning, had a chat with voteran Jack ‘Turner, of Rochester, N. Y., formerly Paddy Ryan's trainer and also one of Sullivan's party on his sparring tours. Jack belioves that the battle will b finish and the best man will win. Ho®bes not believe that either of the men desiro or can afford to have a draw, as_thero hus been too much of that kind of business in late years. Governor Lowrey's Precautions.

A Minister ish O How FOREIGN CROP PROSPECTS. Roturns Very Flattering From the United Kingdom. GRAIN CONDITIONS GRATIFYING Wheat in Both England and Ircland Promising a Big Yield—Scote land's Coreals Badly Affscted By the Drouth. Crops in the United Kingdom, |Copuright 1889 by James Gordon Beanstt.] Loxvoy, July 5.—|New York Herald Cable—Special to Tnr Ber,]—The following isa summary of the canvass made by the Her- ald throughout the United Kingdom as to the crop vrospects for the present year: The prospects for bountyful crovs n England, Scotland and Ireland are quite favorable. The teports furnished by special corresponds ents of the Herald of the conditions 1n the farming districts of Eugland are very full and ulso very cheerful. The reports from Ireluad are also gratifying. The crop pros- posts in Scotland were more than usually favorable until the drought set in, but even in Scotland farmers have not given up the battle. The outlook in the districts border- ing on Surrey Hill is satisfactory and the harvest south of the Thames promises to be nuch better than usual. In Leicestershire the prospects are much better than at the same time last year and an average yield of wheat is expected. In Bast Gloucestershire the hay crop is good but the roots are back- ward, In Durham the condition of crops generally, but of hay particularly, is very satisfactory; twenty-four hours of rain is noeded. The prospects are considered un- usually fine in Dorcestershire. The same may be said for East Kent, though only an average crop of hops is looked for. Kor quality and quantity the hay crop of Somer- set is better than for twenty-five years, In Hereford the hay crop is the best. since 1808, It has been exceedingly hot and dry 1 Corn= wall since May. Much therefore depends on the weather in that county; rain 1s badly needed. Rain is also wanted in Lincoln- shire, but a good harvest is expected in Worcestershire. Grain crops are above the average; fruit prospects are not so good. Somerset farmers want rain, but are i cheerful spirits. From G tham comes word that a considerable rainfall is needed. Crops in Huntingtonshire look well. Huy is particularly heavy. Rain would benefit all crops in Berks, The grass crop i§ heavy; other crops aro up to the average. An unusually large harvest is looked for in Norfolk. Not for years have the prospects been so bright. Appearauces indicate extraordinary crops in Kings county, Ircland, but some farmers predict crop failures unless rain soon falls. An immenso crop of hay has been gathered. In Derry and Donegal the crops are the best for many years and give promise of being from 1 to 10 per cent above the average. A general report from Dublin states that the crops never looked finor. Spring was early. Early planted potatoes are in good condition; late ones need rain for an average crop. The crops all around seem good for an increuse of 25 per cent above the average for twenty years. Crops in Galway are rather backward. The beginning of the sea- son was very wet, but there has since been much dry weather. Wheat is safe to yield largely. Rain might make an all around average in west Cork. Crops are genorally flouristing and 30 ver cent above the average yield will not surprise the farmers. Tn Scot~ land the prospects were finer earlier in the sea~ son. The weather has been too dry recently, at least such is the word from Glasgow. Ad- vices from East Lothiun, on the other hand, indicate a tine crop. Wheat ana barley look especially well; 20 per cont of an increase is looked for. Reports from Edinburg are sat- isfactory. Rain is said to be needed for the root crop, Three weeks ago prospects in Lanarkshire were brilliant. There has been drought since, though hopes are yev enter- tained of an average crop. —— Protta Badly F [Copyright 1859 by James Gordon Bennat.) Loxvox, July 5 — |New York Herald le—Special to Tie Bee, |—The fivst race at Henley was the diamond challenge sculls and u good contest was exvected but not seen. Psotta, the American, was i very bad form, Nickalls treated P’sotta very much as Psotta had treated his opponont in the last two day,s and came in 8o far abead that the distance was not worth measuring. Psotta gave up before ho was one-third over the course, and did not exert himself further. The competit- ors were early at the start and took up their positions some minutes before the time. Psotta was habited in a white jersey and blue drapers, and had a red handkerchief around his head, He showed signs of his recent sickness, but was full of confidence, A strong wind dead behind them was blow- and the course was pecfectly free from raft. On getting the word to go, Psotta was the smartest to begin, but he nearly missed his left hand scull, The American shoved in front slightly when Nickalls caught acrab. This allowed Psotta to draw away, but his strength soon gave out under the pasting Nickalls gave him, and much of the race was only a procession. Nickalls finally won by ten lengths. ‘Time, 8 minutes, 5 sec- onds, Wilkie [Copyright 1659 i James Gordon Bennstt.)
