BELLAIRE.-Ths Bellnire itemi1er for
the RsgiaG Is noted, Il for anything, only
for his impudenee and boldness in telling
what is not true, and maintaining it after
il is proven false. An instance Of this
occurred IN his Saturdays locals. Among
other remarks about the large and enthu-
SiaStic Republican meeting Of Friday
night, he says that the audience did not
applaud Gov. Hayes once, We we're
standing within two yards Of the man who
says this when Hayes was applauded
twice, and heard him pass some remarks
upon the applause. This just shows how
bold he can be upon occasion.
Rev. Mills and family, OF Steubenville,

Mr.. Mills had been at the MOuhdsville

Owing to the absence Of the pastors, no

sEcoSD Boat RACE BETWEEN MASroS
ASD CoRcoRAS WoS BY IHE FoRSLER.-
The weather was all that could be desired
on Saturday Tor outdoor exercise Of any
kind, and as the river was At a favorable
stage and the water smooth, better day
for the second contest between James
Manton, OF the Nail City Club, and James
Corcoran, Of the Hegner Club, could not
have been selected. During the after
noon the banks Of the river in the vicin-
ity Of the course were crowded with peO-
pie, all OF whom evidently took lively
interest in the race. There was consid-
cradle betting, but not as much as would
have been expected considering the fact
that the men we're closely matched and
had pulled together once before. MantOn
was generally the iayorite, he having won
the former race.
Mr.. Alfred Caldwell, the referee, and
Messrs, Dan. Cochran, 7, G. Adams, Ed,
Knowles and VIM. Peters, the Judges,
we're in the Nail City boat club house
when the toss for positions was made,
which was wone by Corcoran, At half.
past 5 o'clock the Six-Oared barge Long
fellow, containing the referee and crew
from the Hegner and Nail City clubs,
left the boat house, and at twenty minutes
to 6 the men were in position. Thestart-
ing point was directly opposite the water
works Of the Baltimore & Ohio machine
shops, and the course was the same rs the
last-one mile and half to the respect
i've stake boats and return to the point OF
starting.
The word GO" was given by the
referee at about quarter Of 0 o'clock,
The men started in poor style, but they say
that the word was given by the referee
much sooner than they expected. Man
ton pulled about 43 strokes to the min.
ute, and Corcoran 81 to the minute. When
they reached the turning boat Cor
coran was about one length ahead, He
made good turn, and kept the lead up
to BensOn's Ferry, when ManlOn made a
squirt and passed him. Corcoran then
lost ground rapidly, and MaRtOn pulled
in about one hundred and fifty yards
ahead Of him, making the three miles in
exactly 1874 40,
The Judges and referee Immediately
adjourned to BingelPs drug store, on
Main street, Centre Wheeling, where the
stakes $500 and race were awarded to
MantOn. This Is the second time Man
ton has defeated COrcOran, and his friends
are much elated over II. In justice to
COrcOran, however, we should state that
he explains his weakening down on the
home stretch from being suddenly attack
ed with dizziness and cramps. That
there was something wrong with the man
was evident to all who witnessed the
race.

The nuisance Of the smoke and cinders
from the locomotive, especially in this hot
weather, when open car windows are a
necessity, Is too well known to need com.
ment. Everybody will wish success to
the device Just patented by q Cincinnati
mat, for carrying the smoke 10 the rear
Of the car and diStharging it there. His
apparatus is simply a tube foot or SO In
diameter, running lengthways over the
roofs Of the cars from the rear to a point
Just behind the top Of the smoke stack,
his theory being that the motion OF the
train will make a draught through II
powerful enough to suck In all the smoke
stack emits. II the invention succeeds
