Bomt Racing at Sing Sing.
boat race for 5000 took place yesterday at Sing
Sing. In which J. L. Raymond aud Gil Ward were
the contestants. A considerable crowd had COL
lected on the wharf time before the race CON-
menced and betting was very brisk. Although the
majority of those present admitted the superiority or
Ward in O working boat race, the betting was all III
favor of Raymond, which in itself was indicative OF
a sell, At three O'Clock Ward and Raymond APP
reared IN their respective boats and pulled to the
starting place. The start was made properly, but
for reasons afterwards explained by ward Tue latter
was speedily left behind, Raymond leading iully one
hundred yards Immense efforts were made by tne
hackers OF Raymond to disparage ward IN the estl-
nation of those in the ring and to show corre-
spending enthusiasm for the former, and unsophsti-

than hubub took place between the hackers or
Raymond and Ward, and excitement ran high.
Wards friends raised the cry OF FOUL but II was not
sustained by the referee. After considerable squab

brief consultation decided with the referee, Mr. Pat
Lynch, that Raymond was entitled to the stakes, but
that all bets made the race should be declared or

Ward was also advised previous to the race that he
