atmosphere grew warm ami pleasant,
During the morning nothing was talked
OF at the hotel but the boat races. At q
number Of points books were opened and
subscriptions for u draw mot in the
SteubenvilIe bridge game were asked for.
The books, however, closed suddenly, the
capital stock being limilel to four shares.
AND STILL THEY COME,
At0A. NJ. crowds OF people could be
seen filing in from the surrounding cOun-
try in all sorts Of vehicles. About ten
o'clock the sun was ohscured by threaten
ing clouds. This caused dampness to
fall upon the spirits Of those who were
eager To see the end Of the race. The
noon train from Wheeling, Bellaire and
points below, as we'll as those on the Pan
Handle east and west, added largely TO
the crowd already present, so that when
the race came of there were over 10000
people cOngregaled ON lower Market
street and along the river banks
THEY DART INTO THE WATER.
At3 o'clock Allcock and Pcdgriit start
ed from their dock at the foot Oi Market
street for the referees boat at the paper
mill. In few minutes lIerbst led by
Frank Dcnmarsh pulled up also. llerbst
having won the toss for position, chose
the Ohio side Of the river. At 1923 pre-
cisely, the referee, W, T;CampbCll, gave
the word ego" Both rOwers started off
like arrows. At the third stroke lIerbst
coached by Frank Dcnmarsh, was three
lengths ahead, and at Market street led by
full live lengths When opposite the
Water Works Allcock, (whO was given
the smooth water at his own request and
was hugging the Virginia shOre) shipped
an oar and was thrown into the water,
but this did not alter the race particle,
as llerbst was then crossing the line
where a. n. Mattack and the referee were
stationed.
LOUD CHEERS FOR IIERIISr.
The referees and Judges repaired to the
ST. Nicholas Hotel where the stakes were
given to John lIcrbd. As soon as the
decision was rendered cheer after cheer
rent the air. This defeat il great blow
to Allcock who has done great deal Of
boasting. About two thousand dollars
changed hands on this race. All il cX.

O'Clock. The Stcubenyillians and Wheel.
ingites are jubilant, and having got well
heclcd they commenced brtting with re-
newed energy on Peal for the
