THE BOAT RACE.
Davis Wins Again-O'Lenry Nowhere
But Little Excitement over the Race.

The single scull race between NJ f. Davis of
this city, and j. OLeary of Worcester, result
| ed in an easy victory for Portand's favorite
oarsman, although it was won under .difficul-
ties. The race was to be pulled at o'clock,
but as usual neither men were ready to start at
that time. Ii was about ten O clock that Davis
got into his boat to leave the house. when he
discovered that both of his oars had been tam
pered with, and were not in fiji condition to use
in the race. Word was sent to Mr.. Downey,
the referee, and he agreed to postpone the race
if O'Leary was willing O'Leary thought he
saw chance to steal the race, and SO refused
to have it postponed. notwithstanding Davis
offered to pay his expenses during the delay.
After some time spent in trying to bring about
postponement, O'Leary stated that if Davis
was not ready to start he should row over the
course and claim the money. He also limited
that Davis was afraid to pull with him. This
talk did not please Davis at all, and he decided
to pull the race even if his oars gave out in the
attempt. The oars bad both of them evidently
been twisted in some way and were broken half
off under the leather. The two men came into
line at little before eleven o'clock with Da-.
Wis on the inside. The water was all that could
be wished for, and both men were in good con-
diten. O'Leary is large man and pulls in
cedar she'll 81 feet in length. Davis was fear.
full that his oars would not last over the course
but be was determined TO do his best
THE RACE.
AT eleven minutes before eleven o'clock the
referee gave the men the word, and both of
them took the water at the same second.
For short distance O'Leary led few feet,
but it was only for short distance for when
the boats reached Franklin wharf Davis was
leading by boat length. O'Leary was pulling
long stroke and making good time, but the
sharp strokes Of Davis were too much for him.
AT the stake boat Davis was two boat lengths
ahead, and was pulling hard. He turned quick
and was soon on the return. O'Leary evident
ly lost bis courage about the time he turned the
stake boat, for be did not row very determined
~. Soon after leaving the stake boat single
got caught in the bow of his boat and this was
too much for him and he stopped rowing for
second Then he spurted again and rowed
good stroke for some distance, but soon agave
up again, and when he reached Merrill's wharf
ne rowed into the boat house. Davis pulled
over the latter part OF the course in very eis-
urely manner, and his time was % minutes 40
seconds.
The race was for $3.50 side, and of course
Davis wins the money O'Leary was very con-
hdent before the race that he would be success
full, and made large amount of talk about it,
Mr.. Davis has rowed three races within short
time, and now proposes to clay on his oars'' for
the remainder of the season.

Rridgton,s Representatixe.

The vote in Bridgton for Representative has
hitherto been represented to be tie; but we
understand the facts to be as follows: Joseph
j. Walker, the Democratic candidate, had
three hundred and fourteen votes, j. L. Wales
one, Benjamin 7. Chase three hundred and
fourteen votes, and B. 7. Chase one. AS the
vote for B. I. Chase was intended fo- Benja-
min L. Chase, the Republican candidate, of
course he has three hundred and fifteen and
plurality of votes. The repeated decisions of
both Houses of the Legislature settle that point
beyond question. Therefore, there is no neces
sity for any new voting next Monday, as was
proposed.
