on the 10Th of August, and an examination
directed to be made of her, which was done
ny Captain John Young. very thorough
examination was made, and it was favor
able to the release. Nothing could be dis
covered on board that justified the suspicion
entertained of her. This report did not
satisfy the authorities at WASHINGTON. and a
re-examination was ordered None however

her release. Her destination was reported TO
be Halifax, n. s., and Queenstown, Ireland
We shall soon know whether that is correct or
not.
The Directors of the Twelfth and Six
teenth Streets Passenger Railway Company
have nearly completed arrangements for the
construction of the road, as authorized by
the act of Assembly. How far south it will
extend has not yet been determined, but the
probabilities are that it will go beyond Wash
lngton avenue, as the extensive improve
ments of late in that section of the city
seem to warrant the extension that far south
ward and possibly several squares b Glow.
The following persons were admitted to
the Pennsylvania Hospital yesterday:
Gropes, aged six years, residing at No. 125
Marion street, arm broken by falling on the
sidewalk. Catha rine Flanagan, aged 2S years,

street, and was drowned His body had not
been recovered late in the evening The de-
cease is supposed to have lived at Eigh teenth
and Arch streets.
The improvements made in the Board of
Trade Rooms have Just been completed. The
rooms were closed owing to the late fire,
which took place in the upper part of the
building, causing the furniture to be much
disfgured. The floors have been recarpeted
and the furniture repaired and vanished, at
a cost of $500. The first meeting of the
Board will occur on the third Monday in
September.
Extensive arrangements are being made
by the various lodges of the American Pro-
testant Association for their parade, which is
to take place on the 10th of September
Meetings are held twice a week, and every
effort is being made to make it the most i'm
posing display that has yet been made by the
order. At a recent meeting of the delegates
from the various subordinate lodges, John G.
Connolly was elected chief marshal who will
in short time announce the names of his
aids. A number of handsome banners and
flags are being made for the occasion, and
several bands of music from distance have
been secured. 1t is expected that large
number of visiting brethren will take part in
the parade, as the committee has received

THE BOAT RACE.

How the Great Contest was Lost 10 Harvards
The Lead they Could not NIaintain-The Ok
fOrds Profit by Local knowledge.
LONDON, August 27.-The excitement to-
day over the great international boat race has
been intense. The banks of the Thames have
been lined with spectators since an early hour
this morning. The city has been almost de-
serted and business quite neglected. Vehicles
of all descriptions, bearing the Harvard and
Oxford colors, and heavily laden with people,
crowded all the roads leading to the course,
and during the entire day the roads in the
vicinity of Putney and Hammersmith, CHS
wick, Barnes, MOrtlake, &C., were thronged
with pedestrians. The railway companies
found themselves unable to provide cars sufi-
cient to carry the vast numbers in waiting at
the depots. 1t is no eXaggeration to state that
probably a million people witnessed the race.
The Harvard crew won the toss for position,
and chose the Middlesex side (the outside of
the semicircle. Both boats started at
O'Clock II minutes 16R seconds. The tide at
the stalt was sluggish, and light southwest
breeze prevailed, with smooth water. Inc
Harvards were the first to catch the water, ana
took the lead, gaining rapidly on their oppo-
nents, and making torty-tlVe strokes per
minute against the Oxfords' forty. At Bishops
creek, three furlongs from the start, the Har-
wards led half length. Gaining headway
they increased their lead as they passed the
Willows. Their pace was subsequently slack
ened, and the OXtords pulled up, but the Har-
wards were still three-quarters OF length
ahead at Craven point, three-quarters OF
mile from the start.
The Oxfords now went on with steady
drag, but the Americans rapidly increased
their lead, and at Grab Tree, mile and an
eighth from the aqueduct, were couple OF

No sabbath Day Celebration.
Editors of the Register:
1t Is with profound regret that many
persons have recently read in your col
umns, articles rather favorable to what
they regard as deseoratiOu of the Sab
bath, especially by celebration on the
csm'ng Fourth of July. They have
been panied to observe that even Serip.
ture has been perverted in support of
the lax ideas advanced. 1t is prohable
that some of these articles have been
written rather to amuSe than in seriops
earnest We know that your paper is
at liberty to pursue whatever course il
pleasss on this subject. You are not 70.
sponsible to man. Still many of your
well wlshers could have desired that
you had either been silent or else ont,
spoken against all such desecration.
We would earnestly appeal 10 the
small portion of our general populstion
who propose to celebrate the anniyersa.

to change the day to either Saturday or
Monday. We have no wish to enter
upon a controversy as to the claims Of
the Sabbath to be hallowed. We have
no disposition to abridge any mans lib
erty so long as he does not use it in a
way which is offensive to Others. We
prefer to base our appeal on the grounds
Of good feeling. We ask these Germans,

The Coming Fourth OF July.

We call attention to the communication
which appears in another column TAX
ing grounds against Sabbath day cele-
bration of the anniversary of American
Independence. We cheerfully apprOpri-
ate our share of its criticism, and hearth
ly coincide with it's views that Sunday
is not the day of the week upsn which
to celebrate a National Holiday.
If any persons have not that per-
sonal reverence for the Sabbath
which all men should have, they
ought yet to respect sufficiently the
views of those who dedicate that day to
religious observance, to abstain from
publicly wounding their feelings by such
parade and jOllty as will have the effect
of desecration. The fact that some ref
erences of an apparently contrary char
acter have appeared in these column:
does not alter the force of "Citizen's'
remarks, unless a questionable levity
can have more weight than the gravity
of truth and right.

That Jubilee.

The good, steady Puritans of that
peaceable town saw in all this a fair
chance to turn an honest penny, and if
they increased not the agility of the
traditional "nimble siXpesce," they
certainly are pocketing the more steady
and sedate shilling with great gusto.
The Peace Jubilee was probably one of
the best paying speculations of the day,
and the good BOstonians were not going
to let the opportunity pass of getting
the most they can for their wares. In
which the BOstOnians were wise, and
displayed a thoroughly commercial
spirit. AS to the general effect of the
enormous chorus and orchestra, it was
unexpectedly harmonious. The music
was neither discordant nor startling
simply effective; but the same effect
could have been produced with half
the number of voices and instruments.
Theprogramme was eminently popular,
and, in the main, well suited to mis-
cellaneOus audience. But the grand
effect with the Bostonians was the
anvil Chorus" which, with its 100
firemen, 100 anvils, and 100 sledge-ham.
mers, produced an effect which wrought
up the Hubbian mind to pitch of the
most intense excitement. The Hub
bites cheered, screamed and waved
haudkerchiefs, while one particularly
absurd old gentleman opened and raised
his umbrella, With some vague idea, pro-
badly, of protecting his devoted head
from the flood of music being poured
upon it. Then, to crown the whole
thing, Boston editor had his pocket
picked. These five days will be red-let-
tor ones in its annals, if we may judge
from the manner in which it is bleeding
its guests" and the amount of treasure
it laid up for itself, if not in that place
"where moth and rust do not corrupt
and thieves do not break through and
steal" at all events in solid Boston
banks, where good interest is paid, and
reliable watchmen keep a sharp lookout
after the safes.
