Race,

Hanlon Beats Morris in the Sins lesScuIi
Race.
PITTsBURG, Pa. June 20.-The five mile
single scull race between Evan Morris and
Edward Hanlon for a purse of 5000 and the
championship of America was rowed on the
Hutton course this afternoon and was won by
the Canadian by nearly four lengths. An i'm
mense crowd estimated at Is 900 witnessed the
race. Banks and hillsides on both sides of the
river were lined with spectators, including
many ladies. Excursion trains ran up on both
sides of the Allegheny all the afternoon and
excitement was very great. Pool selling at the
course was lively but not much money was
invested, the odds being slightly in favor of
Hanlon. The start was advertised for o'clock,
but was not made until 606. Both men ap-
loud cheering as they came into sight. Morris
wore white and Hanlon red and blue. 1t was
some minutes before they got into position but
at 6.10 all was ready. Word was given and
the men got down to work in good style. Ban
lon took the lead at the starting and half a
mile from the starting point he was still ahead
and pulling 81 strokes per minute. Morris now
made vigorous squirt, and as the men passed
out of sight around the bend of the river
Morris was gradually closing up on his adver-
sary. When the men came in sight of the
buoys Hanlon was lengths ahead, but before
reaching the turning point Morris had gained
two lengths and the excitement was intense
among the spectators. Morris was then pulling
81 strokes minute. Hanlon turned the BUOY
four lengths ahead, and despite the efforts Of
Morris maintained that distance to the home
stake, winning by about four boat lengths.
Time So minutes.

dates for President and Vice President and the will
of the nation as constitutionally declared having
been nulfed by grossest usurpations and frauds
instigated, protected and adopted by men now high
in position and confidence of the administration and
rendered operative by the presence OF formidable
military force, therefore
ResoIred, That the democracy Of Vermont at this
Its first convention since the consummatiOn OF the
government and in vindicatiou and preservation of
the sacred right of the majority to choose their ru
ers, denounce and condemn with most earnest indig
nation this foul crime against our institutions and
hold it up to universal execration.
RESOLVED, That the thanks of the people of the
United States are due to the patriotic men who or
iginated and IN face of the most determined oppos-
donAre carrying through the investigation of the
electoral frauds in Louisiana and Florida.
Resolved, That the revelations already made be-
tore the committee eliminating the Secretary of the
Treasury and the Republican Senator from Ohio
leave room to doubt the wisdom and necessity OF
this investigation
RESOLVED. That while we would sanction no assault
upon the official title of President Hayes, urge the
criminal prosecution conviction and punishment of
all who aided and abetted the infamous frauds by
which the Presidency aud Vice Presidency were
wrested from their lawfully elected possessors.

Magazine NOfices.

Ha7perS Magazine for July is at hand. 1t
opens with an illustrated article by A. G. Red
wood called Some Landmarks of Virginia,
the locality treated being that known as the
Northern Neck, or Northumberland County,
through which the river Wicomico flows This
was the earliest settled part of Virginia, and is
rich in landmarks of the olden times. The
second paper is a handsomely illustrated de-
scription of the New York hospitals. The

Dyck. Among its other illustrations is the ia
NOUS portrait painted by himself, engraved by
Mandel Porte Crayon, an old and favorite

Toned Virginia muster, with sketches from his
inimitable pencil. A. 81. Guernsey writes

interesting article called Anecdotes of voltare.
Among heSwiss. Benjamin J. LOSING, who is
famous for his researches in American litefa-
ture of a century since, tells the story of John
Peter Zenger, poor German printer in New
York, who was imprisoned and tried in 1874 in
that city, for the publication of seditious arti-
cles. The two serials are continued, and there
are thiee short stories. An unusual thing is
the fact that the body of the magazine contains
no poem.
