SPORTING.
The Brown.Morri. Raee..Brown Wins.

The BrOwn.Morris Raee---Brown Wins.
ST.. JOHN, n. B, Sept. 26.-After many more
delays and postponementS than appeared ne
cessary, the great scul race between Brown
of Halifax and Morris of Pittsburg was rowed
ON the KennebeccasiS at 3 O clock this after.
nOOn in the presence of two thousand specta.
tors.
After the 6zzle Of yesterday there was very
little excitement. Brown was the fayorite
from the start his hackers betting ten to three,
and finding few takers The crowd was better
behaved than yesterday, although there was
less excitement manifested. gThe gamblers
were betting in Chinese pools, aud the LIQUOR
booths were in full blast, and did thriving
business. At Z o'clock this morning Brown
was pronounced to be in good condition for
rowing, and DR.. Thomas Walker, referee and
starter was about to call the race, when 1t was
discovered that the stake boats had been neg
lected, and were not in position. This blund.
ering was the cause of two hours delav In the
meantime a fresh breeze sprang up, rendering
the river rough and unfit. This caused further
postponement till 3 O'clock when the water
was in fit condition, and the race was called.
The toss was won by Morriss, who selected the
inside, and the men were in capital condition.
When the word was given the men dropped
their oars at the same time, and the shells flew
over the course, Brown making 80 strokes and
Morris Al per minute. Morris took sill ght lead
till the turning stake boat was reached, when
Brown, in making the turn, shot ahead of his
opponent a full length. This advantage he pre-
served to the end, reaching the goal after
magnificent squirt leaving his rival fully two
lengths behind. Time-37 minutes.
The race throughout was very holly con-
tested, and was considered by com petent Judges
the best aquatic encounter ever witnessed on
these waters
At the conclusion of the race Brown was
escorted to his quarters. He appeared on the
verandah, and after bowling to the people, pro-
posed three cheers for Morris, which we're Justify
given.
The race was for 81, 900 side.
