REFEREE CHOSEN.
Incidents of the Coming, Boat
Race.

By the articles of agreement govern
ing the race tomorrow, last night was
fixed as the time for the final deposit OF
stakemoney and the choosing OF the ref
cree. In accordance with this article,
the meeting was held at Sheekey's
saloon, last evening. Felsing was rep
resented by Commodore Seabright and
Barney Moran, and Weisgerber by VIM.
Humes and James A. Travis. The final
deposit, $500 from each man, was made
in the hands of /. q. Dillon, the stake
holder. Alter some little discussion on
the part OF the representatives, Mr.
William Hastings, manager at
the La Belle Mill and former
member of Council from the
First ward was chosen referee. 1t is
doubtful, as yet, whether he will accept,
but in the event OF his doing so, a fair
decision may be expected, as Mr.. Hast
ings is well known as an honorable and
fair-minded gentleman. Another meet
ing will be held this evening 10 settle up
all arrangements.
Last night, on the streets and in the
saloons and cigar shops, the coming
match was eagerly canvasSed. The
selecting OF the referee has given de-
cided "boom" to the race and interest
has aroused to the highest notch. A
number Of bets, all even, were made,
notably two at SieOke's OF
500 each. An idea OF how
evenly the men are ranked by many,
may be conveyed in the fact that OF
three bets made, choice OF men was
left to the parties accepting the wager.
Both Weisgerber and Felsing are said
to be in excellent condition, and moth
ing but the weather can prevent most
exciting and close struggle. The friends
Of both men say there Is mot enough
money in Wheeling to buy our man,
and YOU can just bet all your wealth
he'll win ii it's in him, and that's where
it is" and from the freedom with which
stakes are made this sentiment seems to
find a general echo.
From Pittsburgh gentleman who
was in the city yesterday, we learn that
large excursion will leave that city ut
o'clock, and that probably one train
will not be able to carry all the people.
Pittsburghers take great interest in
aquatic matters, and no doubt a large
delegation will be here. The city, We
are informed, is divided on the men,
each being the choice at pools sold in
different localities At the last race,
Weisgerber was rather the favoritc, but
most of the visitors from there backed
Felsing, hedging on bets after their ar
rival here.
There is nothing to be said of the
men. They know no more than out
siders, beyond a knowledge OF their con-
ditlon and their hopes and belief. As
is always the case, each is confident OF
being the victor. Thity-six hours will
decide.

ton OF the sage, and this evening will be
called to arms, away from the peaceful
solitude of the brothers with whom you
have so long affiliated, and with whom
SO many happy hours in social inter
course have been passed, they, knowing
your characteristics, have selected this
token as appropriate to the occasion,
that with it, in long marches down life ;
chcckercd pathway You may thirst not,
neither resort to other vessels, that may
get You in Il Weav.er)ing way. Wish
ing you and your prospective family
long life and prosperity, We remain sin
ccrcy yours, in the hope that We will all
play a lair game and follow suit without
a single revoke on our part. Ia Ia
