BOAT RACE AT eoWDoIN COLLEGE.
"a Wins the First Place.

Brunswick, June 1.
Especial to the Kennebec Journal.
The race here this morning was one of the
most interesting ever witnessed on this course.
Each Of the four classes has had a crew in
training for several weeks; and as the time
for the contest drew near, class spirits have
been high, and the speculation great as to
which class would carry off the honors. In
addition to the championship cup for the
class crew which is victorious, the associa-
tion this year will present each man of those
winning with beautiful silver goblet. Long
before the appointed hour, the banks of the
river were lined with crowds of spectators
who were earnestly discussing the merits of
the several crews. The Junior crew was
manifestly the favorite, having been victori-
Gus thus far ever since the class entered col
lege. Last year they made the course in
ION. 10 sec.-consequently the sympathies of
the crowd were largely with them. The
course ofthree miles commences at the NJ. c.
X. X. bridge between Brunswick and Tops
ham, goes down the river and around Cow
Island and finishes at the bridge. All the
crews got fine start, 80 leading for some
distance at first, the others appearing almost
equally matched. But as they emerged from
behind the island, it was evident that the con-
test for first position lay between 81 and 80.
The former rowed very prettily, and
for a time it seemed as though
they would come in ahead.
But 's2's muscle and pluck finally tri-
umphed, bringing them in first at the starting
place. Time, 10 min. Aga sec. The posi-.
ton of the crews at the close was first 80,
with 81 next; then came 's3, and 80 last.
The result was surprise to most of the
college The Freshmen did nobly. They
possess material for a first-class crew and
With another years training, will doubtless
be well matched with 's2. This lively race
will serve no doubt, to bring the boating
interests of Bowdoin up to their pristine
glory, and we may expect to see vigorous
contest at our next regatta. Following are

Not more than 90 delegates were in their

tested seats cases will occupy all the evening

ton shall adopt some order to limit debate,
which promises to be interminable. At 100
the convention was nearly full. Garfield and
Conkling were greeted from the galleries
usual. Five minutes later the chair called
the convention to order. Conger moved that
delegates from Louisiana who had been ad-
mitted BY order of the convention be notified
of their right to take their seats. The chair
said they were entitled to such seats. The
chair stated that the question before the con-
vention was the contest in Alabama. Harri-

Campbell of W. Va. said there were three
men from his State, good and true republic

for one was ready to withdraw. He had been

had imbibed his political faith from the lips
of VIM. II. Seward of n. y He would
never consent in advance to agree to any
thing convention might do. He intended
always to carry his own sovereignty under

fit, Tapplause1 and to utter his own senii
ments as an individual delegate.

A CIPHER Toe many yesterday made
as say that Chester County would send
down Is, 900 men to public Republi-
can demonstration at Wilmington.
without that cipher it would have
been 1900. But the mistake was not
greater than that made by President
Bach last night at meeting Of the
Young Mems Republican Club, when
he said that Chester County was pre-.
pairing to give her old time honored
majority of 10000 for the Republi
cans. Chester County never to oul
knowledge gave more than 5000 ma
jority, though she expects to give
1000 this campaign. We recolleo'
when Chester County gave Democratic
majorities.
