TIE IoAT RACE.
The excitement in this city over the
present race, owing to the great odds CIV
en- by Dcnmarsh to an opponent who was
thought by many to he his equal, was, to
put Il mild, intense. The betting AZ far
as odds were concerned was ChiCagOward,
the Denmarsh men taking all bets that
were offered even and at odds. At Al!
the referee gave the word "go," both
"going off, in splendid style. Denmarsh
was passing Pedgriit at the water works
on the first third Of mile when
it was evident Pedgrift was going to re.
new his game Of last Saturday by fOuling.
Steering right towards Dcnmarsh's boat
after they had gone about two lengths,
Pcdgriit fouled Denmarsh by locking his
oars. At this point Pedgrift threw up his
hand but Immediately grasped his oar
and kept on over the course. At Market
street Drnmarsh led by about five or six
feet, and at the foot OF Washington street,
one square above, had increased the gap
to full two lengths and kept on gaining
until the buoy boats were reached, Den.
marsh turning about five lengths ahead,
which he maintained, rowing very leis-
urely home past the stake.boat in l0;3S!,
The Referee appearing at the Hotel
announced as his decision that us there
had been a foul claimed, he after con.
sulting with the Judges, who witnessed it,
had concluded to "dGclarC all bets off," II
was feared that the result OF the whole
matter would be n general free fight, and
your correspondent saw door open in the
rear Of the Hotel and stepped out to sec
n man over by the depot, but although
there was vast amount Of tongue let loose
there was nobody "kilt." Whether the
decision was right or wrong was not for
us to say and rs the articles Of agreement
stated in express terms that the decision
of the umpire should be final in all matters
pertaining to the race, We hope that par.
ties interested will accept the situation,
although it does look as though Steuben.
vile had murdered her father and refus.
ed to hold an inquest.
Upon the decision being made known
to Denmarsh he offered To row Pedgrift
another race and make the purse $500.

people, were joined in holy bonds OF we'd

burgh, assisted by Revs. j, I. Moore and
7. $, Hodgson. The ceremony took place
at the residence OF the brides mother, our
worthy post.mistress. The occasion was
one Of the most noteworthy Of the kind
that has taken place in our city for some
time, and everything went of in style
bcftting to the occasion.
Rev. r. A. Alexander, ofSt ClairsVille,
was in town yesterday morning. Ills
visit had no connection with that Of about
all the politicians in the county yesterday
afternoon.
The Bellaire knights of Pythias have
u grand parade through the principal
streets OF the city tomorrow, and they
desire us to extend for them cordial n-
vitatiOn to the members Of that society in
Wheeling, uniformed or ununiformed, to
visit our city and take part in the parade.
A grand time is anticipated.
The lecture at the Presbyterian Church
on Wednesday night by Rev. Jas. Alex
ander is very highly spoken Of by those
who were so fortunate as to hear ii.
Col, PoOrman made a political speech
at Zanesville on Wednesday evening in
compliance with special request Of
many OF the prominent citizens.
Last night Gen. Gibson, OF Tiilin, Ohio,
and Hon, J. G. MilIikin, NJ. C., OF Maine,
spoke for the Republican interests on the
Union Square. j. B. Campbell, Esq, ex-
Clerk Of the County Court, at ST. Clairs-
vile, also made Democratic speech at

The places Of business occupied by
Jews in this city were closed yesterday in
consequence Of the Jewish New Year.
II ever any place was bothered with
iniquitous children that place is Bellaire.
At private fcte on Belmont street on
Wednesday the guests were so disturbed
by the rabblc OF children who gathered
around the house as to take half Of the
pleasure of the occasion away. They
yelled and shrieked, aud even went 80
far rs to throw dirt in at the windows.
No policeman was in the ward during
the duration Of the "row," and efforts on
the part Of any one else were worse than
futile. This Is not the first time that
such things have been complained of,
and the authorities should take steps to
stop it.
4 bad run.oll' occurred on Union street
Wednesday, but no one was injured.

Race.

Correspondence Of the Tntclllgcncer
Gray 4 CARROTS Hall was crowded
this evening to hear Judge Taft, Of Gin.
cinnnti, and Hon. William GrosvenOr Of
Missouri, on the political isslles Of the
day. Judge Taft referred to the success.
iul administration Of affairs by the Re.
publicans during the past fifteen years of
its existence, and stated that the Demo.
cratic party was composed Of soft.mOnCy
Democrats, who we're in the majority and
made the platforms and were in favor Of
initiation, and the hard.moncy Democrats,
who go with the party against their prin.
ciples. The great leading issue in this
campaign was the currency question.
The Democratic party favors initiation;
the Republicans favor as early a return
to specie payments as can be done with.
out unnecessary shock to business.
The speaker referred to the act Of Con.
gress that had been agreed upon fixing
the lat Of January, 1879, as the time,
and he had no doubt resumption would
be brought about much earlier than that.
Judge Taft spoke nt length on the
financial issues, and was followed by Col.
Grosvcnor in m able and eloquent de.
fence Of the platform Of the Republican
party. He referred at length to State
matters. Both speakers were loudly ap.
