The Boston Races.

Boston, July 5.--About 10000 people wit
messed the rowing regatta on the Charles
river yesterday afternoon, which was held
under the auspices Of a committee OF the City
Council There were five races
In the single scull race all those entered re-
ported at the judges boats, except Mccain
and Butler. At SO 30 past o'clock the word
eco" was given, and five oarsmen took to
water, with johnson in the advance Lane
second and Morris third. johnson settled
down to q steady stroke of thirty-six and
went ahead at a terrific rate, sweeping away
from his competitors. Morris made bad
start, but soon got away from Lynch and
Lane and commenced to pull up on Johnson,
who was rowing magnificent stroke. Nor
ris made a squirt at the mile buoy, and closed
upon Frenchy, but could not get even with
him, and the latter turned the stake with a
good lead. The race home was one-sided for
johnson pulled steady, sweeping stroke,
and came over the line in q AZ, Morris pull
ing leisurely home. He had to row in the
four-oared working boat race later.
In the second race for double sculIs three
crews started-Hill and T. z. Butler, Hegener
and E. Il. Butler, and McGahey and Hosmer.
Butler and Hill pulled to the front, and held
the lead to the finish, crossing the line in

The next race was a pair cared boats. Ward
brothers, Bigler and MahOney, Casey broth
ers and Conwell and Nj. O'Brien reported for
work, the Ward brothers crossing the line IN
26 .35lSs, and Conwell and O'Brien In 20 59Ia.
The best race of the day was that for four
cared working boats. OF thirteen entries ten
reported, the Z. Malone Riverside No 2 and
William Hennessy crews falling to appear at
the start. The Chelsea, Lakeman No. l, West
end and House crews got away together, and
had sharp tussle for the lead The other
Six crews went off in struggling manner.
The House crew soon Joined the rearguard,
and the race virtually lay between the three
+ leaders, The West-end crew had the lead at
! the first turn of the course-one mile and re-
peat twice-giving three turns for the next
course. The contest was very sharp and ex-
citing, there being at no time foot Of differ
ence between them. Evan Morris pulled in
the Lakeman crew in place of FIannery, and
this fact was not generally known to the
judges At the twe-mile buoy it was almost
impossible to tell who was first, but the Ghel-
seas by hard work turned the stake first, but
left q gap SO wide that the West-ends got a
short turn, and came away With an even start

BUTLER's COMMUNISM.
HIs Opening Campaign speech-whRt ne
WSuld DO with the TallyhOs.


NEwBURYPoRr, Mass, July 5-The demon
stratiOn of the GreenbaCkers here yesterday
was attended by fully two thousand persona,
and was enthusiastic. Gen b. +. Butler de-
lvered the principal address. He reviewed
at length the history Of continental money Of
this country tracing the causes of its decline
in value. He repudiated the term inflationist,
and said OF the opponents of the Greenback
party that they are willing to sell all the
bonds and subsidize all the railroads, and do
everything else that can be done with the
money obtained on interest-bearing bonds of
the United States. Ny proposition is that
we should issue S400,0 900 In nOn-interest-
bearing bonds to settle unemployed labOring
men upon public lands. Great applause
In defending Greenbackers, he said: II you
find O man in the community that goes for
the good of all the nation, that man Is o
Greenbacker. II you find man that wants
just legislation and goes for the interests of
the workingmen and of labor, that man Is q
Greenbacker.
Referring to the labor troubles, Gen. Butler
said that strikes were below the dignity of
American wOrkmen, and the remedy is the
ballot. Communist is a word OF reproaGh ap-
piled to woriingmen who see wrong in exist
ing affairs and believe In remedying them as
AbOlitionist was word OF reproaCh hurled at
the men who struck for freedom in the earlier
days of this generation: the same men who
called the Reformers of other days Abolition
lists are to-day calling Reformers COmmu-
nists.
Every man should be industrious, the
labOrer, the rich as well as the poor.
In New York there was q club called the
Tally-Ho Club and all they can find to do is
to play coachman day by day for the fun of
the thing. II | had my way-if / had the
power in the city Of New York, as / once had

GREECE AFTER TURKEY.
Austria Becomes Impatient ana Will

LONDON, July 5.-The claims of Greece to q
Turkey are regarded with considerable impa-
thence. The news from Athens concerning
the excitement that prevails and the demands
made upon the King for warlike measures are
received at the congress with smiles of de-
by the Greeks as their special champion, but
the fact that Lord Salisbury's proposal that
Crete should be made independent, in
stead on it's being annexed to Greece, has dis
PEELED that illusion.
struGted Count Andrassy to present to the
congress that further delay In adjusting the
Bosnia and Herzegovina matter would be
highly ineonvenient, and that the advance of

PARIS July 5.-The Workingmens Inter-
national Congress, which is to be held here
international Workingmens Association at
least its projectors discIaim all connection
with that Organization. They say that it has
practically ceased to exist Many Of them
affiliated with it, but it became mere ma
chine for promoting the Socialistic and
Atheistic views of Earl Marx Bakomln and
others, and is now destitute Of vitality. The
congress of workingmen in September is
wholly spontaneous movement of genuine
wOrkingmen, and it has no anarchical objects
in view. It is convened for mutual conference
between the skilled artisans of all countries,
and it is believed that discussions concerning
cooperation will occupy the most of its
time The promoters Of the conference are
mainly disciples of August E. Conte and
some of them figured at a conference of a
similar character held in Lyons last year.
