Mrs. MANCHESTER, the celebrated Clair
voyant and Eclectic Physician is now at the
Evans House, Gardiner. Mrs. Manchester
has effected great number of remarkable
cures. Gases which have been given up by
the old school practitioners and beyond hope
have readily yielded to her skillful treatment
and hundreds have been aised up from the
brink of the grave; the many patients who
seek daily her professional services are a fair
test of the confidence she inspires in all those
who seek her care. Mrs. Manchester's Veg
etable remedies are wonderful in their opera
ton, restoring the health more rapidly than
any other medicines ever discovered. Let
none delay to consult her at once at the
Evans Hotel, Gardiner. She remains but one
week. ety fgre julyl7-tlw

WINNERS.
at the Result. Prospect
of Another Trial.

Saratoga, Is.
About fifteen Hundred persons assembled
at the lske this morning. to witness the uni
versity boat race, set down for 10 A. M. The
lake was as smooth as glass. At 9.45 o'clock
the first gun was fired; at 1920 the second
and the starting gun was fired at l0.47. All
the boats got off handsomely together, Column
bia at the half mile taking the lead then
Trinity made squirt, overhauled Columbia
and at the eve of the mile took the lead away
from Yale, which had shot ahead, but at the
moment failed and fell behind. Princeton
came up close behind Trinity The others
we're about even with each other. At the
mile and half Columbia came to the from
again, with the Harvard struggling sharply.
The others kept their positions. At the two
mile point Columbia was still in advance
with Cornell making squirt to overtake her.
and passing Harvard at the two and one-half
mile point, Columbia was still ahead with
Wesleyan, which now showed great vigor,
pressing her sharply and steadily. The last
half mile was then one continued exciting
pull between Columbia, Wesleyans, Harvards
and Dartmouths, and they came in in that or
der. Columbia was ahead about two boat
lengths, and making the distance in 1885,
1t was greeted with tremendous cheers. On
reaching the shore b. Frank, captain and
strok, tainted, and was seized by the crew and
carried on their shoulders up the hill to
Moons LAX House. Before reaching the
house he had entirely recovered. The scene
following the race was one long to be remem-
bered, and was only marred in its progress by
the failure Of Yale to participate in the ra ce
beyond the mile point, at which time she was
taking the lead with good prospect for keep
ing it.
Saratoga, Is p. M.
The Columbia and Wesleyan crews march,
ed through the streets carrying the Symbolic
Crown, and about 200 Yale men with Captain
Cooke. borne on the shoulders of two men,
at their head marched through the piazzas of
the principle Hotels singing.
The feeling between Yale and Harvard is
very bitter, and Cooke has challenged the
winning crew to another race. 1t is imposs-
BILE to say at this time how the fouls occurred
or who is to blame.
At 8 o'clock the Judges held a meeting and
it is believed that a second race will be
rowed.
The following claims of foul made to the
referee were decided as follows:
"Harvard VS.. Yale and s'Yale vs. liar
ward" The claims were dissallowed in ac-
cordance with rule IA. Yale's claim was not
entertained as Yale violated rules and un-
