The Great Race.

PHILADELPHIA, May 20.-The boat
race between Coulter and Cavit, OF
Allegheny, on one side, and the Blglln
Brothers, of New York, on the other,
came off at 7 P. NJ, on Schuylkili
river. Thousands Of people on foot
and in carriages lined both sides Of the
river. Many waited from three o'clock
for the start. The Biglins, who had
pulled their boat up stream, mounted the
rocks above Reading railroad bridge.
Coulter and Cavit waited in a dwelling
until the time Of starting should arrive.
The wind had been blowing consider
ably, causing the water to be agitated.
The Biglins were generally the favor
ties. Coulter having won the choice
for position chose the inside. The
referee discbarging his pistol, away they
went. The Biglins seemed perplexed
for an instant and made an awkward
start of it. Coulter and Cavitt started
well, thus obtaining the lead; notwith-
Standing the hackers Of the Biglin crew
offered one hundred to fifty on them, and
kept ahead for at least a quarter
of a mile. The Biglins had by
this time got fairly down to their work
and were pulling steadily to their ad,
versaries, but the extraordinary exer-
tions Of Coulter began to tell on him,
and from this point he began to
lose all reckoning of his course,
and instead of making for the
second arch OF the Columbia bridge
he went for the third, losing one hun
dred feet. The Biglins proceeded
through the second arch and rounded
their stake.boat three lengths ahead OF
Coulter. From this to the upper stake
boat the race was one sided, the
Biglins coming in easy, the winners by
dozen lengths. Time, 32Ol. Dur
ing the last five minutes Of the contest
a heavy rain prevailed, operating
against them and making the New

The Forest Fires.

4 correspondent Of the Newourg
Journal tells the following story offght'
ing fire at Pine Bush, Ulster county,
y. Y:
ION Tuesday, May I, about three
O'Clock in the afternoon, small fire
was discovered running back OF Pine
Ridge near the Crawford leather factory.
Not much attention being paid TO 1t
then, it rapidly spread, until it soon COW
cred the whole ridge. At night 1t pre-
sented one OF the grsndest scenes that
has been seen here in years.
About ten o'clock at night it formed
a line Of over two miles in length.
Though it was a spectacle of rare beau
ty and grandeur, yet 1T was an alarming
sight to the old citizens below-those
who understood fighting mountain fires.
1t continued to rage all night, lighting
up The streets below as bright almost as
day.
"In the morning doubts were enter
tained as to the safety Of John K. RAN
sens house and barns. The people
were called out to back fire and save
his buildings, and keep the fire from
doing more damage, if possible. Men
and boys came from all directions with
pals, and soon new line Of fire was
started along a brook; but when We
thought we had it under subsection by
5ack.fring about one mile and half.
the wind caught up brands of fire and
whirled to the distance Of fifty feet,
and new fire kindled from this. 1t
was soon discovered that new line Of
battle would have to be drawn up, and
accordingly il was done, with like re-
suits. Then another line was drawn
along another brook, but the flames soon
found the dry leaves on the other side.
Then as Mr.. Ransen's buildings were
in great danger, the men were very &C.
tive. One man stood in the brook, and
from him there was formed a line OF
men around he fire; pals Of water were
passed from the first man to the second,
and so on up large bank and around
the whole line, and as the pals were
returned they were tossed and caught
at the distance OF twenty feet. 1t was a
grand sight to see these men trying to
control the mad, raging flame; but
while they succeeded in quenching the
flames here, they broke over in piece
oftimber above, and were soon creeping
to the top Of the mountains. and it was
not until Thursday that the fire was
stopped.
This was the largest fire that has
been here for ten years. The smoke
settled in the valley below so as to fill
the houses and make it very uncomfort.
