KESosuA, July 22.--The notice that boat
race is to take place in this city is always tn
signal for large crowd to gather to witness Ill
sport; and when the contestants for the honof
Of the race are well-snown citizens-as was In
case in the race Of Monday uight-the inteEcs
taken in the success of the different craft is pro
portional]y great. Some time before the hou
of starting, the interested ones we're seen send
ing their way toward the harbor-pier, anu at
p. IN. the docks and pier were filled with largt
crowd of spectators The evening was fine, moi
too warm, with but faint shadow Of coming
storm in the line Of black clouds that skirtee
the western horizon. Knowing ones shook t1en
heads, predicting q storm, but sail-boat anc
row-boat paid no heed to thewould-bc prophets
but left the harbor for the wide expanse o1
water beyond intent onlyon witnessing the race
from the best possible point Of view. The CON
testants were fine specimens OF the genus
homo, with plenty, Of muscle, and
looked, as they waited for the sig
nal to start, determined to win,
or die in the attempt. Three boats started, the
Lily, manned by Mcssrs. Simmons and Brown {;
the Balm, by Mcssrs. Slosson aud Campbell; the
Henrietta, by Messrs. j. E. and Fl. A. Cappel-
csc. The boats started from Simmons eastern
dock little past O'Clock, the Lily taking the
lead, the Balm second, and the Henrietta few
feet behind. Everybody WIS on the qui vivc OF
expectation, each one wishing success for their
fuyorite. The Balm counted about US many
friends among the spectators in this race as the
! Lily, and many were the Wagers given and
taken that the Balm would be the winning boat.
| The Lily, however, proved herself equal to the
the u ro1 ~
! The Balm took second honurs, and the ucnrictta
| mcckly assumed the honor Of bringing up
the rear: Meanwhile, during the progress o1 the
| race, while all eyes were livcted with anx-
mere specs out in the lake, huge banks OF
| clouds, black as the fablel shades of Erebus,
! piled themselves higher and higher in the
| heavens until the whole sky was overcast with a
pail Of blackness little too suggestive OF sud
den squalls to make . longer sojourn on tic
| broad waters Of Lake Michigan desirable, espc-
| cially for those who were out i'll sal-boAts. A
| honle-run was ualc by all boats, spectators,
happy winners in the race, as we'll as luc!sicss
losers, all mingled in grand, hlrly-burly"
| from the swift-gathering storm. All the boats
succeeded in lnaiin!ntilr larbor, save one small
boat, whose one occupant was so taken up
wiz the fs rae that he, he failed h4l to to
| burst upon him. To add to his discontinue,
after he had taken in sail he discovered that
one Of his oars was missing, and that hc him.
| self was at the mercy Of wind and waves unless
| help from shore reached him. His condition
was observed by the crew Of the Fitzgcra1a, who
went to his assistance in the yaw1 belonging to
that vessel. When they reached the boat the
young man was IN en- inscnsible condition, and
the boat nearly filled with water.
The Improvement made by the crew OF the
Bain in the manipulation OF the oars during
the TWO or three weeks practice they have ill
dulEcd III, seems to warrant that third race
will find them quite competent to wrcst the
'laurcl-wreatl" Of two victories from the crew
Of the Lily. ...-....
NUMEROUS ATTRACTIONS
out of town have drawn our citizens, many OF
them, away from the city during the week in
search Ut recreation and rest. Principal among
the places Of resort visited we're the cainp-mcct-
ing at Elm Grove, just out Of milwaukee,, and
the Sundar-school Convention held at Lake
Bluff. One party OF ladies, twelve i'll number,
PLACED themselves under tue care Of one gcntle-
man, anu he 4 "wee SINAI" man ut that, ior
days attendance at thu Convention at Lake Bluff.
They reported, OIL their return, much that was
favorable concerning their experiences during
the day, but added, By way OF parenthesis, that
the little shepherd had deal VI difficulty III
keeping his flock OF zig sheep together, anu IN
seemly order. This Convention will continue
in scssion until next Tuesday, aud is we'll worth
a visit.

AN uNcERENoS1ous BATH
