 PROVIDENCE, June 17.-Probably the city of Providence never saw so many people l within it's limits as gathered on the banks of 1 the Seekonk to-day. The number Is esti- ] mated from 4O,O to 100, ,OOO. They came by rail, street car, sailboat barge, steamer and every conceivable mode of conveyance. It was peaceable crowd all intent on seeing the grand race, but the proportion that had any definite idea of who started, rowed or finished Twas remarkably small. The river was crowded with craft of all descriptions whose occupants thought their best position for viewing the race was between the grand stands, of which there were a dozen or more, and the course. The press facilities were poor also for the same reason, inefficiency or rather utter want of policing the course. This
 trouble and the tardiness of Mayor Doyle in
 putting in an appearance delayed the start of
 the amateur race. The men were called a
 few minutes after p. m., when seven re-
 sponded, Holmes of Pawtucket, Laing Of
 Montreal, Murray of Portsmouth, Gaisel
 of New York, Buckley of Portland, Mur-
 phy of Norwich and Hayden of Bos-
 ton, the brothers Fitzgerald of Phila- delphia not putting in an appearance.
 The men were kept in line waiting until
 4:23:224, when they got away, R. L. Neville
 firing the pistol. Holmes was nearest the
 Providence shore, then Gaisel, Laing, Buck ley, Hayden, Murphy and Murray in the order
 given. Hayden got the best of the start, with
 Murphy next and Holmes next, the others
 stringing out behind Murphy soon over hauled Hayden and cut out the work, but his stroke was uneven and his pace was too fast
 for him, as was soon seen when Holmes put on speed and passed the leaders and went ahead with a pace that showed early in the struggle that he was the peer of them all. As for Murray he was out of the race, being far in the rear of them all. Meantime Laing, Buckley and Gaiselwer having lively struggle among themselves, which resulted in favor of Gaisel who made noble effort to spurt him self alongside the Pawtucket sculler, but the latter was too strong for him. He allowed the New York man to approach within safe distance nearly abreast of him and then shot
 away from him, but Gaisel spurted also and a grand race was the result to the turn, one mile and half Holmes led Gaisel sever al lengths as he turned and got squared away for home before Gaisel had turned. He had the race won then and rowed to within mile of home well within himself. Gaiselwas
 still rowing a smart pace and succeeded in cutting down Holmes lead of ten lengths to three, one-half mile from the finish. In this order these two finished Holmes time
 was 22 minutes A seconds; Gaisel, 9 min
 utes, 59 seconds. Murphy turned third, Hay
 den fourth, then Laing and Buckley, and 8 pretty race home resulted. Hayden rowed down Murphy, then Laing came to the front
 with swift, strong strokes, passing Hayden,
 Buckley and Murphy in succession. Hayden
 struggled hard but could not cope with the
 Canadian, and Murphy gave up the race at
 haul Gaisel, but had to content himself with
 third place; his time was 23 minutes, 10 sec
 onds, Buckley being fourth in 23:37, and Hay den fifth in 23:48. Murray came home with
 the others and was announced as fourth man,
 but as he did not turn the stake he was not
 entitled to the position.
 There was another long wait with the pro-
 fessionals in line before they started When
 they did at 5:29:465 p. m., Plaisted fairly
 jumped his frail craft to the front and Ross
 was close at his heels, while over
 on the East Providence side Hanlan and
 Boyd were seen almost together. The two
 latter kept at it for about sixty strokes, when
 the champion shot ahead of the Britisher
 and began to creep up to Plaisted, who led, and right nobly was he cutting out the pace.
 Ross was close behind him, however, and at
 the quarter was on even terms Then Han
 Ian, who had left Boyd, began to tell with his
 regular, powerful strokes, and slowly to
 creep up to Ross. So tremendous was his
 speed that at the half mile he had about a
 half length the lead over the field" A
 prettier sight is seldom witnessed than was
 presented by these four men, who were row.
 ing nearly abreast, straining every nerve for
 the mastery, Hanlan, Ross, Plaisted and
 Riley, who had come up rapidly on the finish
 of the first mile. Away they went from the
 half mile to the mile and half, where the
 champion, to the surprise of those who could
 see the course, stopped rowing and Ross swept grandly ahead, with Plaisted and Riley
 neck and neck just behind. While the lead
 CTS were struggling so gallantly, Lee, Ten
 Evoke and Gaudier were having close con-
 test among themselves, while Dempsey, De-
 lano and Boyd were in another triangular contest and brought up the rear of the pro-
 cession. Han1an, when he stopped rowing,
 put his hand to his side as if in pain for a moment, then clutched his souls with deter imitation and rowed with will, holding sec- OnQ Dldc0 to the GurQ, WHICH n0 lnaO6 1nm6- diately after Ross. From thence to the fin ish he slacked up and rowed home leisurely. Ross seeing that Hanlan was disabled, turned buoy No. l, and fearing that was wrong, also. turned buoy No. 2 and squared away homeward at q 8 magnificent pace, leading the field by at least twenty lengths to the finish cross the cheers of the thousands of spectators and the salutes from the yachts round about. Plaisted and Riley, after struggle and great liability of fouling, turned the stake together. As soon as they were fairly on their home stretch Riley by extra exertions managed to shake Plaisted and was away dozen lengths l ahead at the two mile stake, having passed Hanlan and securely settled down to second place, which he gained without much fur. ther effort, passing the stake boat at the l finish in som. 3O4s. As the men neared the l three mile point after the turn they encoun | tered very rough water, the wind having shifted from southwest to southeast and 1 blowing quite fresh making the water very 1 lumpy It was not steady withal, but came | in fitfu1 quarters and made rowing a matter | of much difficulty. After Plaisted Ten Eycke 1 turned, then Gaudier, Lee, Delano and Boyd l Dempsey giving up the race before reaching the turn as Ross had it all his own way or the home stretch. So did Riley second and Ten Evoke third. He having passed the others came in third in Som. 58s., five or si1 | lengths ahead of Gaudier, who finished 1 l length ahead of Plaisted, whose boat wa; | half full of water. The craft on the rivei | now crowded in general turn over tht | finish and shut out the view of others, a1E 1 the great race was over. The only accideia
 to mar the days pleasure was the fall dl | about 15O feet of one of the grand stands bJ which Mrs Mary Wallace, of Boston, wal
