those on board, for the old crew had died
in the hospital, and now the vessel was full
of the disease, which seemed to get into the
wood and could not be got rid Of.

COLUMBUS, June 4-6 A. M.-The Hamil-
ton delegation did not reach here until fif-
teen minutes after 10 o'clock last night 1t
was tiresome ride, and the only thing to
cheer up the crowd was the music by Sci
densticker's Band.
After leaving Xenia drenchng rain
came down, and continued until the ar
rival in the State capital.
From the Union Depot the delegation
proceeded along High street to the Neil
House The City Democratic Club had out
its banner, and the Thirteenth Ward, the
boss Democratic Ward of Cincinnati, had
out their elegant silk flag. the Banning
Banner"
Captain E. Potter Dustin acted as Mar
shal, and ]. J. Hunter as standard-bearer Of
the club banner.
One thing disgraceful to the crowd that
followed the delegates was that there was
too much whisky aboard, but happily no
disturbance occurred on the road.
When the delegation filed up in ranks
along High street the Columbus boys loud.
ly cheered them, but the cries were, "Give
us Rice we don't want any Bishop in
ours" Hamilton County made no reply,
but plodded on through the heavy rain to
the Neil House.
A pow-wow was the first thing in order
in the parlor ON the second floor.
Speeches were then made by Judge Nc.
Sweeney, of Wooster, and Judge Trainor,
of Steubenville Ohio, both highly lauda
tory of Gov. Bishop and his administra
ton.
Governor Bishop has engaged two parlors
at the Neil House, and our Sammy, Hon
s. f. Hunt, is here in Bishops interest.
The Durbin Ward delegation is also guar
tered at this place, where he has two par.
lors for his friends "Jongee" and Gen.
Rice are also here, and the latter thinks
that tomorrow he will crow over the de.
feat of Bishop.
From glimpse all around and talk
with numerous prominent Democrats it is
estimated that Rice will get about 200
votes.

THE CHAMPION IN ENGLAND.


LONDON, June 4.-The great interest in
the boat race between Elliott and Hanlan
| to be rowed over the Tyne course on the
| 10th inst, is now all the absorbing topic in
sporting circles. Elliott has abandoned

| own stroke, believing he can make better
time. Heavy betting on the result con.
tinues, and odds of two to one offered on
Hanlan are readily accepted by Elliott:
admirers. Both men are in excellent con.

time over the course and his bakers are
very confident.

early in July, as he is eager to return to
