BOAT RACE "A boat race took place yes
terday afternoon from Washington TO the buoy
opposite the snip yard. The contestants were
the Fannie Bell aud the Spray. When off the
upper coal wharves on the home stretch the
Spray was capsizcd, thus leaving the Bell an
easy victory. The Spray was rghted after u
short line and proceeded on her way with no
other damage to her occupants than a good
ducking, Mhich, considering the heat was not
very hurttul 1t is rumored that the race will
be tried over again to-day or to. morrow.
