THE SINGLE ScULL RACE AT SPRNGFIRLD.
We understand that those who were in the Sc
cret are not disappointed at the result of the
boat race at Springfield on Thursday, in which
Brown came in third. His friends here did
not bet dollar upon him in that race. The
correspondent of the Boston journal says:
Brown had the advantage of position, Doyle
the second, Mckeil the third and Ward the
fourth. All four Of the boats started evenly,
and the eyes of all We're upon Ward and
Brown. The latter did not exhibit such supe-
rior skill as he displayed in Portland, but
Ward did, and Of course took the lead. Brown
kept up well however, but was seen to fall in
the rear just before reaching the stake boat
Doyle and McKeil were not inactive and they,
too, passed by the hero of the Portland race,
and it was painfully apparent to the many
who had so literally risked their money on the
ability Of Brown that all was lost to them-
SO seconds; McKeil followed only two and a
half seconds later, and Brown aud Dole were
left in the distance. The result, as NAV be ex-
pected from Browns victory at Portland, was
wholly unexpected. Even If he was to lose
the race none believed he would be beaten
dis tance of forty or fifty yards. The reason
Brown assigns for his defeat is, that his boat
was too light for him. The boat In which he
rowed was not the one used at Portland, al
though one Of his own build. Its dimensions
four inches dcep. and forty pounds in weight
He is not disheartened, but asserts .nat ne Is
willing to row three mile race with Ward,
Hammill or any other man In America. ilIid
The Springfield Republican says; .bo o1nq
At the start, Brown had the inside, DOYLE
was second, and McKeil and Ward third and
fnrrth. Brown shot out ahead but McKeil
passed him, to be passed in turn BY Ward. It
was very evident on the start that Brown did
not intend to win the race, and, no one was
surprised therefore, to see him coming in leis-
urely ON the home stretch, behind all Ward
came in in splendid style, making the two
16minutes and half second. When Brown
came in, he offered to make $1,000 match
with any man, but he received no answers.ie9

The PROSPECT IN MARYLAND AND PENN
sYLvANIA.-The Boston Advertisers special
Washington dispatch says: OWN /
From present indications it seems likely that
the Unionists of Maryland will elect three out
of the five congressman in that State, which
win be a gain of one. AS the election APP
proaches the prospect is becoming very much
better. The Union men declare their deter
mination to prevent returned rebels from vot-
ing, even if they have to resist it by force The
intense indignation at the course of Governor
Swami in appointing a copperhead register
bids fair to result in violence election day if
the registered rebels present themselves at the
polls.
Private letters from leading Pennsylvania
politicians, received here concur in stating
that the Copperheads, deeming their cause
hopeless, are already halt inclined to give up
the contest, while they are to-. dispirited to
work with vigor. The Unionists are confident
and active in their efforts to secure as large a
majority as possible for General Geary. A
gentleman who has participated in all the cam
paigns in that State, since 1S42, and also has
recently travelled through a considerable por-
ton of the State, says that the excitement is
even greater than it was In the Harrison cam
