Affairs mt the lake.


The natural beauties of Lake QuinsgamOnd
are always alluded to in terms of the highest
praise by strangers who are fortunate enough to
visit il, but it has been noticed in former years
that the residents of Worcester have appeared
unmindful of the rare privilege which they Gu
Joy in living so near the borders of the finest
sheet of water in New England. This year.
however, the people here seem to have realized
the beauties OF the spot, and the visitors TO the
Quinsigamond house have been far more numer-
Gus than formerly. Yesterday nearly two
thousand people sought refuge from the heat
and dust of the city in the cool shade in the
vicinity of the lake, and the propretors of the
Omnibus line, with their conveyances crowded
to their utmost capacity, reaped rich harvest.
The approaching boat race between O'Leary
of this city, and Ellis Ward, the youngest, and
perhaps the best oarsman of the famous Ward
brothers, is attracting a great deal of interest,
and many of the persons present were attracted
by the first opportunity of seeing the rival oars
men at their practice,
Ellis Ward with his brother Charles, and Ten
Eyck who is to row with him in the 4th of July
regatta at Boston, arrived on the owl train Sun
day morning, and took up their quarters at the
Waldo house. The new boat in which Ward is
to row, the Arguenanla, built in England, came
with them and was taken to the lake where its
owner spent part of the day in practice prepare
tory to the race Both of the contestants are in
splendid condition physically, and IL is expected
that the time made upon the day of the race
will be better than any yet recorded in this
country for three mile race in single sculls'
The Ward boat was built by the same party
who built 0'Leary's new boat, and resembles
very closely the latter's boat, with the cxcep-
lion that 1t is three quarters of an inch narrower,
n uiAe longer, and has no sliding seat. 0LeaY
first made his appearance upon the lake shortly
after four o'clock, and upon his return to the
boat house Ward and Ten Eyck took friendly
null over the course. The performances OF both
men were watched with intense interest by
the spectators, and various opinions were
expressed regarding the relative merits Of
tLe rival oarsmen. The course TO be
pulled over will be the same as in former years
except that The stake boats will be set nearer
the upper eud of the lake SO as 10 ensured full
three mile course. Josh. Ward and Dick Rears,
