RIVERSIDE, n B., July 3l.-The sun was
shining brightly and very light wind blow
morning. The water was in fine Condition. the
only drawback being slight ripple on Tori
burn cove. For the greater part of the course,
aG%eSsr atth tne water water was perfectly smooth and
be obtained. At $50 the judges boat came
down from Appebys wharf, and stopping at
Iorriburn cove, whistled for the contestants
to come out: At O'Clock everything was
ready. The judges were in position at the
starting point, and the sheriff called upon the
0arsmen to get into line; By this time the
quarter as before and making quite swell
Ross roWed up the course, and finding the
water lumpy, said he would not row." There
upon Mr. klng, Judge for Ross, protested that
the water was not perfectly smooth, as the
articles OF agreement specified it should be
The referee (Sheriff Harding) here said as the
matter was being taken out of his hands he
would retire; he would act no more. Sheriff
harding made written statement to the effect
that the water was not perfectly smooth but
that 1t was smooth enough for practical boat
racing, and that rs Ross and Ross Judge had
objected he had no recourse but to retire
Hanlon came to the judges boat and said that
II Ross would row he (Hanlonl would give him
two lengths to start. Ross also came up and
said the starting boats We're out of range a
general discussion now took place, but no re-
suit was arrived at. Finally the two men were
ordered TO their quarters, and the judges boat
steamed up to Appleby's wharf, where the
crowd was waiting IN expectancy. Meanwhile
the hackers of the men were endeavoring to
patch up matters. but they have not succeeded
up to this time Q:50 o'clock) The water is
now rough, and there is no appearance of il
calming down. The condition OF the water is
not what would be called tit water here. The
supporters of Ross say he was justified in re.
fuSing to row. The hackers of HanlOn inti-
mate that Ross does not want the race to come
off so soon. Asmatters stand now il is impos-
Slble TO say what will be done. Nothing of
course can be effected until a referee is
chosen.

traordinary, she was yesterday released by or

nothing more purer or more enduring than
the love OF mother for her child, aud the

the outward forms of justice may demand, en-.
durance such as hers is worthy of all respect
