The Union-Loriug Boat Race.

The four-oared match race between the
Union and Loring crews last evening was
thoroughly successful 10 every particular In
the middle of the afternoon there was a strong
suspicion that the roughness of the water
would cause a postponement, but about five
o'clock the water became smooth enough to
satisfy the most fastidious of boating men, and
in few minutes both crews put out from their
houses and padded up to the starting stake,
off Bailroad wharf The referee, Mr.. A. L.
Crocker, appeared in a six.oared barge and
after little delay in the alignment of the
boats, gave them the word at 5.38. Both
crews spluttered a little in takiug the water,
the Driscoll crew having little the worst Of
il. but soon recovered and the fours got away
very closely together. At the start and for the
first half-mile both boats steered wildly, with
exceedingly rapid stroke. The steering of the
Loring boat was exceedingly faulty, and soon
gave their opponents opportunity to draw away
from them. At the lower stake boat the
Unions had left length and half of clear
water between the boats, and these relative
positions were maintained most of the way
back. The steering Of both crews up the
course was much better than down, and the
race up past the wharves was exceedingly
pretty. Both crews rowed in good fours, but
the spurts by which the Loring four had vainly
attempted to recover their loss by poor steering
told on them and they showed evident signs of
being tagged. The Union men were in better
condition and easily kept their advantage to
the end winning the race in 1S min. 45 sec.
During the race the "Big Four" were out 10
their shell and excited much attention by their
splendid appearance on the water.

Edward PiIsbury.


About ten o'clock Saturday evening, Capt.
Edward Pillsbury, late of the 10Th Maine regi-
ment, died at the residence of his brother in
Newburyport
Capt Pilsbary was born In Scarboro June
10, 1888. He was the eldest son of Charles Pills
bury, Esq of that town. In his boyhood he
was noted for his daring feats. When young
man he went on whaling voyage to the Paci
fic "where, as might have been expected, he
proved himself brave among the bravest"
In September, 1861, he enlisted in Col. Shep-
ley's regiment and was mustered as Orderly
Sergeant of Co. @. He was soon promoted to
second Lieutenant, and in 1864 came to the
rank of captain. He was always at his post OF
duty and in every trying position distinguished
himself by his calmness and courage. At Ce-
dar Creek he, with his company, held post of
danger in front of the works. When the fight
began he was SO busy with the enemy in front
of him that he was not aware of their flank
movement until they had entire possession Of
the works behind him. Then with bold dash
he succeeded in bringing off his company and
with them took part in Sheridan's celebrated
charge. His good conduct on that occasion was
especially mentioned in the presence of th G
regiment
Since the war he has spent several years in
Savannah, Ga, where he has been connected
with gov eminent service, and more recently as
claim agent. During the prevalence of the yell
low fever, about one year ago in Savannah,
while many fled from the city, he remained to
care for the sick until he was taken with the
same disease, from the effects of which he
never fully recovered. Becoming convinced
that his days would soon be numbered he has.
tened to return to his fathers home to die. He
arrived at the residence of his brother in New
buryport on Monday, the 18th inst. In his last
days he became deeply penitent for the wrong
acts of his life and was made glad with that
Christian spirit that forgive3 all, loves all and
hopefully trusts in Saviour love. 81.

EXCURSION TO BATH.-The second of the
delightful excursions given by the Portland
Steam Packet Company was yesterday made
in the elegant steamer John Brooks. Soon
after 10 O'Clock the boat started with large
and very happy company on board, and a
large number who were rather late at the
wharf returned home disappointed at not
being able to get on board. The day was all
that could have been desired, except perhaps
some might have wished that there was no
smoke but it could not have been better
all round. The course taken was generally
the same as on the last excursion, down
through the Islands, past the monumentIwhich
directs vessels in Hsrpswell harbor, past Half
Way Rock light and to Cape Small Point
From the Cape the course was to Seguin light
and thence the steamer proceeded up the Ken
nebec as far as Bath. Although no landing
was made fine view of the city was afforded
and at about LAO the steamers PROV was
turned homeward. After admiring the
scenery of the Kennebec for short time
longer the company was once more brought in.
to the open ocean; seasickness was prominent
by there being SO little of it. The steamer
entered the harbor by the White Head passage
and at precisely { o'clock landed the happy eT-
curslonists at franklin wharf. These pleasure
trips will probably be continued every week
and will afford the disappointed ones of yes
terday an opportunity to eng age in the most
delightful excursions ever starting from this
cifu
