Associated Press Report.
PITTSBURGH, June 2O.-The five mile
single scuIl race between Evan Morris,
of this city, and Edward Hsnlon, OF
Toronto, for q purpose Of $1,000 and the
championship of America, was rowed on
the Hutton course this afternoon and
won by the Canadian by nearly four
lengths. An immense crowd of people,
estimated at 1900, witnessed the race,
the banks and hiilsides on both sides of
the river being lined with spectators,
among whom were many ladies. Excur-
sion trains ran up on both sides of the
Allegheny all afternoon, and toward
five o'clock the excitement was
very great. The pool selling at
the course was lively, but not much
money was invested, the odds being
slightly in favor of Hsnlon.
The Start,
which was advertised for 5 o'clock, was
not made until 6:05 Both men ap.
pesred in excellent spirits, and were
greeted with loud cheering as they came
INTO sight. Morris wore white and Han
Ion red and blue. 1t was some minutes
before they got into position, but at
6:l0 all was ready, the word given,
and the men got down to their work in
good style. Hsnlon took the lead at the
start, and half mile from the starting
place WAS still ahead, pulling thirty-tour
strokes per minute. Morris now made q
vigorous squirt and as the men passed out
Of sight around the bend OF the river be
WAS gradually closing up on his
adversary. When the men came in sight
OF the buoys Hanlon was seven lengths
ahead, but before reaching the turning
point Morris had gained two lengths, and
the excitement among the spectators was
intense. Morris was then pulling thirty
live strokes 10 the minute. HanlOn turn
ed the buoy four lengths ahead, and de-
spite the effort; ofthe Plt,sburgher, msin-
tanned that distance on the nome pull,
crossing the winning line about tour
lengths ahead. Time 36 minutes

MORRIS. HANLON BOAT RACE.
Good Weather, smooth Water and
an Immense Crowd-H anIOn wins
BY Four Boat LeRsIhs-Time
ThIrty.six Minutes.
Before the Race.

PITTSBURGH, June 20.-The single
sCull race between Evan Morris, of this
city, and Edward Hsnlon, of Toronto,
will take place on the Hutton course,
twelve miles above this city, at 4:30 this
evening. The weather is all that could
be desired. The river hiss been falling
steadily, and excepting the swift current
the course will be very favorable. A tel
egrsm from Hutton, at 10 o'clock this
morning says the water is as smooth
as glass. Morris is in fine con-
dihon. The pain in his side,
resulting from his lsst race with George
Brown, no longer troubles him, and he is
probably better man, physically, to-day
than st any other period OF his life. He
rows at l6Opounds in his new paper boat
built by Waters, of Troy.
HsnIou also shows mis- perfect training,
and expresses himself entirely satisfied
with his condition. he will pull at 100 tbs
and use his Elliott cedar bost. The bet
ting is chiefly in the pools at the Monon-
gshela House, the headquarters Of the
Canadians. Several private bets were
made last evening at $1,000 on Hsnlon
to $500 on Morris. In the pools Hsnlon
sold at $50 and Morris at $39 and $40.
Special trains will be run on each side OF
the river, and the indications are that an
immense throDg of people will witness
the race.

"Give the Old Man a Chance. -

Senator Ecclcs;nc, OF tho New York Lesis-
iaturc. in Tammany Hall, last week, delivered
A very bite: an. ill-timed haranguc against
Mr.. Samuel J. Tilden, in the course Of which
he characterized him as "a galvanized MUM
nv" This was neither witty nor wise, pretty
nor polite. And the class Of democrats, whose
spokesman Senator Ecclesirc seems 70 be, are
very rightly rebuked by ,be Nesc York Sun
and asked to what good end does this vliupera-
lion Of their leader conduce2 Dir. Iliden was
not the choice of many democrats outside oi
Tammsny Hall, but he was shreWd enough
and popular enough 20 get himself nominated
and sgter the most gallant political light IN
the history of this or any country he
got himself elected all in despite of Grant
and the army, Zlck Chandler and his one hun
dred thousand assessed Office holders. Up to
this point his management was simply superb.
That be is not now the occupant of the White
House is equally the blundef and disgrace OF
bis party and himself a lack Of nerve en- their
part as well on his. Is it masnanimous 10
shift all the blame on him ? The old bachelor
of Grammercy Park is not hero of tho An-
drew Jackson stripc,-h fights in cutie a
different way-and tho times demand dii-
ferent battle-one fought with writs and
paper pellets. 10 that strife Mr.. Tilden is a
master. II, then, the ". T. Herald is correct
when Il declares that the Potter Resolutions
show that Mr.. Tildcn Is on the "still hunt
il he can in Q peaceful way right the wrong
to tho American people aud himself. would 1t
not be wise for his party TO stop their foolish
abuse and give the old man a chance? %
