l struggles for supremacy were had. The was
 ter was as smooth as a mill poid, but of a
 dark reddish color from the recent heavy rains. The banks were lined with people and great interest was manifested. First came the final and deciding heat of the jun for singles. The entries were J. A. Whitta-
 ker of Rhode Island, Edmund Field of Perth
 Amboy, N. J., F. Campbell of Newark, N.
 J., R. J. Jackson of Yonkers, N. Y., James Fox of Boston, and P. McManus of New York. The six boats started off well togeth-
 CT, Campbell getting a trifing lead. All
 made for the west shore. Field was far be-
 hind and Fox soon dropped back and kept
 him company. Whitaker forged rapidly
 ahead, and before many rods had been rowed
 over he gained the lead and maintained it to the end, winning in 1o:434. Jackson was
 second, followed by Campbell McManus, Field and Fox.
 The six cared shell race followed
 and the contesting crews were the Mutual
 club of Albany, N. Y.; the Institute crew of
 Newark, N. J.. the Ariel club of Newark, N.
 J., and the Narragansett of Providence. Both the Newark crews and the Mutual rowed In gigs The Narragansett men got the best of the start, but could not keep their lead.
 There was a grand struggle between the two Newark crews, and the Ariels before Peters
 Island was reached forged ahead and over hauled the Narragansetts, but fell back again. Here the Mutuals spurted, and taking advan- tage of a crab caught by the Narragansetts got ahead and crossed the line winners In 9:51a. The Narragansetts were just behind and the Ariels third.
 The final heat of the senior singles was be- tween F. J. Mumford of New Orleans, Harry Ball of Detroit and Wm. Murray of Ports mouth, Va Mumford took the lead and the race for quarter of a mile was very fine. Murray made grand effort and was finally disqualified for fouling, although he crossed the line with good lead over Ball. Mum fords time was 10:05f.
 Next came the final heat between the pair oars, the contestants being F. J. and R. J. German, of Albany, and-F. J. Levier and William Child, of New York. The race proved an easy victory for the German hroth- CTS and was of no interest. The Gormans took clear lead of length in the first few rods and crossed the line one hundred yards ahead in 1O:174.
 Next came the final heat of the double souls between T. E. Holmes and J. A. Whit taker, of Pawtucket, k. l., and Birney and Hanford Topham of Saginaw, Mich. The Topham brothers made a desperate strug gle for victory, but fate and mus AAO@-AAOo Whitaker won the race in 9:41.
 The deciding heat of the four-oared boats was between the Hil1sdales of Hillsdale, Mich, the Eurekas of Newark, and the Wy andottes of Wyandotte. The Hillsdales went right ahead easily and as expected won the ! race without apparent exertion. The Hills l dale men have given the finest exhibition of ] rowing ever seen the river. Their victo 1 ry to-day was little less than walk over. The 1 time was 9:53.
 The final struggle of the day was between the eight -oared boats. The contestants were the Nassau club of New York, the Resolute 1 club of New York, the Dauntless club of New York, and the Crescent club of Philadelphia. l The Crescents were the favorites. This race was the finest of the day. The boats pulled l very evenly until near the finish, when the l Dauntless by great exertions succeeded in get ting the lead and winning in 8:55. The Cres- l cents were second and the Resolutes third. 1 The various prizes were given out to the win | ners at Association Hall tonight. The Democratic Row Efforts to Patch |

 PHILADELPHIA, July 9.-The Democratic | peace commission is still in session at the ] Girard House, and the prospects of an early | and effectual settlement of the differences existing between the local Democracy not l of the most promising character. It seems that what are known as the regulars do not feel inclined to grant the ''kickers'' anything they demand. The fact that Speaker Ran dall, whose sympathies with the latter, had been admitted to the councils of the peace commissioners has made the former rather suspicious of the outcome. Senator Wallace was expected to arrive this afternoon to look after the interests of the regulars. 1 While some prominent Democrats here pro- fess to believe affairs will be harmonized, l there are others equally influential who be- lieve nothing will be accomplished by the
