MINUTE.
On Saturday afternoon last, the second oars
mAnship contest between the Undine and Pho
nser clubs, of this city, took place on the Chris
tians, over the same course as the first race
from Third Street bridge to the W. & W. R. R.
bridge and return. As upon the former occasion
ell the bridges the shipping in the river, ,whsrves
and all available points along the course we're
occupied and several thousand persons must
have been spectators to the race.
About 80 O'Clock the two boAts-the EIloon
(Undine) and Thistle (Pioneer)-g of even, but
on opposite sides OF the river from the last race,
each crew pulling mGnfully at the oars. Soon,
however, the Falcon dArted ahead and 60 con-
tinued the whole length of the course, gradual
ly putt 'ng greater distance between the two
boats, until the end of the race when the I'm
dine crew came in one and one-hAlf minutes
race was 10 minutes, or to speak more
precisely 10 minutes, 81 seconds. In this race
the Undine crew made the course In one min
utes less time than in the foemer one.
], II. Hofecker. Jr., acted as Chief Judge. and
Joseph L. Jackson and Daniel W. Taylor
Judges for the Undine aud Pion or crews re-
spectively. The flag handsome blue silk one
with the word champion" in gilt letters shaded
in black upon it, gift Of the lady friends Of the
crews to the winning one, was placed in the bow
without any ceremony and the boats we're
rowed away to their houses, the Falcon passing
in front OF the crowd At the Third street bridge,
which gave some hearty cheers as it passed.
The following are the names OF the crews.

The two clubs are in better traiRing than at
the former race, and are becoming ivery dexter
GUS at their oars. We trust therefove, that they
will not suffer their zeal In the sport to Abate
now but will provide other and more frequent
contests. Our people evidently feel an interest
in rowing races and a. they are honorable past
