The Boat RAcE.-By half-past five o'clock
Saturday afternoon, quite large number of
ladies and gentlemen had assembled on the
Battery, to witness the proposed race between
the boats Oriole aud B!acksnake. There was
stiff breeze blowing and heavy sea rolling,
and it was generally believed that the boats
would be unable 10 pull over The course marked
out, viz from the White Point buoy to point
three quarters OF a mile distant off the Battery,
to be marked by the boat Louly. Yet the crews
determined to ascertain for themselves, and o
but were soon convinced that it was almost
impossible to have the race as designed, and,
at the suggestion OF the judges, concluded to
have the race up the river, and accordingly
rowed to Chisolm's mill. Their destination
was unknown to the assemblage on the Bate
~, and the report being circulated that the
race was postponed, the. people, about half.
past six o'clock, dispersed.
The boats reached the mill about six o'clock,
and the judges, Captain James Fraser, start
| ing Judge for the Oriole, and MIR. L. Chisolm
for the Blacksnake; Messrs. F. j. Porcher, W.
g. DeSaussure and ]. F.. Mathewes, deciding
Judges, agreed that the racs should be from
Chisolm's wharf to point marked by the Lou
", just beyond the New Bridge, the distance
being about mile. It was also decided that
as the Blacksnake had only six oars, while
her opponent had eight, she should be allowed
six seconds.
The crews we're: MIR. John W. Lewis, Jr. {,
coxswaip; D. D. Parker, stroke; William G..
Webb, R. N. Means, J. P. DeSaussure, d. N.
Parker, J. q. Roper, Il. A. DeSaussure, j. R.
Mathewes, of the Oriole. William Coffin, cox
swain; q. B. Bull, stroke; George Edwards, N.
Simons, q. R. Simons, G. @. Gaillard, W. A..
Pringle, Of the Blacksnake.
Shortly after six O'Clock the signal to start
was given by the firing OF pistol. The 0riole
made ahaif length at the first jump. and con-
tiuued to gain. When half way she was about
six lengths ahead, and at the terminus was
nearly one hundred yards in advance. The
time made was: Oriole, 6 minutes Is seconds;
Blacksnake, minutes and 10 seconds, the
OrioIe winning by 49 seconds.
There were very few spectators, and conse-
quently there was not as much excitement as
at the late international race, but still there
was considerable excitement and enjoyment to
those who were present. We hope that the
race will be repeated at az early day.
