AQUATIC.
Ellis Ward W.. John Biglin.


Should nothing occur to prevent the great scull-
ing match between Ellis Ward and John Biglin-
noted representatives Of two renowned rowing
families-for 81 900, will be decided at Nyack, on
the Hudson, tomorrow Thursday) 18th instant.
No like match In years has excited the
attention and deep interest that this has, the
conversation In aquatic circles, despite the fact
OF other important matters on hand ana worthy OF
speculation, being confined to this event. Very
many of the fraternity who usually make up their
minds quickly In such events have been puzzled
and are now halting between two opinions regard
ng the result OF this contest, acknowledging that IL
the water is smooth and the men get into their boats
in good form the race will be one Of the
prettest, closest and fastest ever pulled In this
country. Within week or so the admirers OF
Biglin because OF his good health have taken c0ur-
age and are willing to bet even on the result OF the
meeting but odds, though trfning ones, can yet be
added. however that the partisans Of Ellis are the
most confident and think that he Will carry on the
Thc principals have continued steadily at work
for the past fortnight or longer Ward at Sing Sing,
with his older brother Charles, near the steamboat
rowing magnlncently, and whatever the result OF
the days meeting, their friends may rest assured
that each win give an account Of himself OF which
he will not be ashamed. The final depOsit-$400
side-was staked In good season, and on the 18th
inst the total amount was handed over to Dr.
Withers, who was chosen nnal stakeholder when
the match was made.
Several steamboats, will leave New York, Brook

these the +. Q. Schultz which will leave Frank

Cedar street. North River, at quarter-past ten
Christopher street at quarter to eleven

ming, virginia Seymour, Fort Lee and
Others, making similar stopping places. Boats will

appearances there will be vastly more people to
witness the than there has been on that river
since the memorable meeting at Newburg between
Jimmy Hammil and the lamented Walter Brown.

MITTEE.
A Breeze Among the Members.

The Kings County Democratic General Committee
met last night at their rooms at the corner OF Court
and Remsen streets, Mr.. Rowe presiding.
Judge VOORHEES,, the chairman OF the Committee
on Contested Seats, submitted his report In regard
to the dissatisfaction which existed in three four
OF the wards
Mr.. PITT insisted that he saw the ballot boxes
stuffed In the Second ward, and that the honest
voters Of the ward would not be satisfied unless
another election was held.
Mr.. HUGH MCLAUGHLIN moved that primary
election be held in the ward on Tuesday evening.
This was carried ~----s-~
The principal trouble appeared to be in the
Seventh ward, and in the attempt of the committee
to bring order out Of choas 1t was shown that
the greatest harmony did not prevail in the central
body. The trouble was occasioned by Judge Riley
holding the registration in place not designated
by the committee, and then protesting against the
action OF his colleagues, who had elected ex-
supervisor Bloomer as Chairman OF the Ward
Association.
Mr.. CARRo.!, member of the p::rd of Educa-
tion, and Register Hugh Mclaughlin had some
sharp words over the matter. While Mr.. Carroll
parties in the Seventh ward Mr. Mclaughlin put
several pertinent questions to him, when he said
Il was evident @ tn that MS remarks did not s1t Mr..
He was then Kissed by some OF the members and
some spectators at the end of the room: He told
them they might hiss as much as they pleased; so
far as he was concerned he was perfectly indcpen-
dent Of either them or Mr.. Mclaughlin.
Mr.. MCLAUGHLIN said that Mr. Carroll might ell
deavor to be gentleman-might wear the garb OF
gentlcman-but that did not make him one.
AS the remarks were becoming Slightly personal
the Chairman called the gentlemen to order
Finally the matter was referred back to the ward
and new election will be held.
Mr.. MCLAUGHLIN then offered his resignation as
member of the committee, saying that he had
been member for twenty years and had never
been insutcd on the floor before.
Mr.. CARROLL said that he did not mean to insult
him and apOlOgized.
The resignation was then laid on the table,
