Paramount Park and the shores OF the Schuyl-
kill river, to witness the great rowing con-
test between Coulter and Covett of PiHsburg
and the Biglin brothers of New York. The

was for $1,000 a side and the distance FIVE
miles. The race was to take place at 3
o'clock, but Coulter having objected on ac-
count of the roughness of the water, it was
postponed till 80, They started fairly,
Coulter and Covett ahead, but they went
through the third instead of the second arch
Of the bridge and lost one hundred feet.
This distance they were unable to regain and
the Biglin brothers came in at least twelve
lengths ahead. Time 81 minutes. large
amount of money changed hands.
