George Brown, the Champion Oarsman.
In 1854 George Brown first appeared in an aquatic
contest on Halifax Harbor. In 1858 DR.. Charles
Cogswell founded the championship OF Halifax
Harbor, presenting rich and beautiful belt TO be
given to the oarsman winning it five times, and
investing s40O, the annual interest OF which would
be given to the winner OF the year. Bernard Gal
lagher was its first winner. In 1859 George Levitt
became champion. In 1860 jeremiah Holland was
the victor. In 1851, 1862 and 1868 George Lovltt
was successful. He had now won the champion
ship four times, and only one more victory was
needed to entitle HIM TO the belt But that one he
was not to win. In 1864 George Brown entered the
lists and won the race handsomely. In 1865, 1866
and 1867 he sustained his title to the championship
in hard fought contests. The race OF 1868 was
looked to with much interest, from the fact that
Levitt and Brown then stood IN the same position
each having won four times and requiring only
another victory to become owner OF the valuable
aud honorable prize. Although Lovitt retired rom
the contest at the last moment, Brown had to con-
tend against three sturdy oarsmen, who did their
best to prevent his success, but without avail, as
he won the race handsomely and became owner Of
the champions belt

A Slight DuckinS

An old river man, whose name we failed
to learn, and who had imbibed rather too
freely to admit of his walking chalk line,
got good ducking in Second Creek yes
terday evening. He was attempting to
cross the creek and after stepping from one
boat to another, he came within reach of
some lumber, and thinking it all secure,
stepped upon it and sank. John FINLEY
who had also imbibed too freely, attempt
ed to assist him in getting out, but follow
ed suit, and was also soon splashing around
in the water. They were, however, rescued
by some of the bystanders, and left
for their homes, if not better at least sober
men. We understand that Mel. Thomp-
son also received ducking yesterday at
the same place. 1t is fine place for it
and the lumber floating around loose is
very deceiving and persons visiting the
mill to day had better be guarded in step
ping upon it.

rhe coal dealers on the line of the Knox
vile and Ohio Railroad were notified yes
terday morning that no more coal could
be received, for shipment South, by the
East, Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
Railroad, owing to the blockade at Dalton.
The bridge OH the Western and Atlantic
Railroad at Resaca, three times washed
away, was the cause of the detention at
Dalton, AZ this point over two hundred
ears had. been blockaded yesterday.
Promptly on hearing of the trouble, Col.
Mce;hee and R. III. Richards left for the
blockade, the former to remain at Dalton
and hasten the work there, the former to
90 to consult with the officers of the West
ern and Atlantic Railroad as to the best
means to relieve the block On the same
train Capt. Jaques left for Memphis to look
after the interests of his line in that direc-
ton. This diligence in looking after the
interests of shippers is CHARACTERISTIC of the
officers of the East Tennessee, Virginia
and Georgia Railroad.

THE RIVER.
Twenty Five 10 Thirty Feet Tide Water,
and Still Rising. -gy


and Sill Rising. 81
The river during the past day continued
to rise very rapidly, aud at about 6 O'clock
there WAS from twenty five to- thirty feet
of tide water. It is now higher than it has
ever been since 1867, and from what infor-
nation we can get from above, it stands a
very good chance of ending with a similar
dreadful inundation., The present tide
principally comes out of French Broad,
the Holston having only commenced to
rise yesterday. AT 6 O'Clock in the even
ing the river was rising at the rate of from
two to three inches to the hour, and
probably continued thus until midnight,
when a second rise was expected from the
tide water of the Holston.
A gentleman from Morristown,. who
started with raft of logs for Mr.. Atkin in
heavy tide, to tie up above here, came
down on the train from CaswelPs Station
and reports that on "Wednesday he was in
the heaviest rain he ever was in. From
what he says, the country above us had a
considerable heavier rain than we had
here, and if this holds good as far as Vir-
ginia is concerned, we may reasonably
look for q rise, at least, something similar
to the one in 1867.
The back water of Second Creek is con-
siderably damaging Mr.. Atkin. 1t has
covered his boiler, engine, saw, and plan
er, in fact, all of his machinery, connected
with the saw-mill is under water. Some
of the lumber was washed away, and work.
men were busy all day in making the re.
mainder secure. The water has backed
up Water street as far as the corner Of
Front street. 1t has also entirely covered
River street, and is now at the front gate of
Esquire Barry's mansion. A little more
rise and the Esquire will have to move out
the back way in canoe for the second
time in the last few years. At the heavy
tide in 1867 he found several feet of mud
on his first and second floor after the river
had sufficiently fallen to admit of an in
spection of the premises. We will hope
for the comfort Of the old gentleman that
it will not be so bad this time. We have
not heard of any serious damage done so
far, more than that already mentioned to
Mr.. Atkins mill property, and would be
pleased if it would rest with this But
from all the news we could gather from
above yesterday, we fear we will have to
chronicle some heavy losses to those situat-
ed near the river. We will hope, how.
ever for the best.

That Bridge Again.

We have time and again noticed that
bridge overSecond Creek, near the Rolling
Mill, and the dangerous condition it is. It
seems that there is dispute between the
corporation and the turnpike company as
to which should have it repaired. We do
net know how that is, but think it would
he we'll for the Board, at its next meeting,
to decide upon the question. 1t should be
repaired by all means, as i'm its present
condition it is dangerous, to say the least of
it. There are holes in it Oh the left pass
way large enough to admit the falling
through of man of ordinary size, to say
nothing of the danger to animals passing
over il. For some time there was a pole
across one end of the side most damaged
but fire wood became scarce with some one
and it has been removed. 1t should be
seen to before some one breaks his neck.
