The boat race which came off on the Seekonk
river near Providence, Rhode Island, last Thurs
day, attracted large crowds from the fact that
Ilanlan, who recently defeated Courtney on the
Potomac, participated The other contestants were
Wallace Ross Of St. Johns, New Brunswick; Geo.
W. Lee Of New York city James Riley Of Sara
toga Horatio Delsno of Chelsea, Massachusetts,
James A. Ten Eyck Of Peelyskill New York; Fred
A. Paisted Of Boston; Jacob Gaudier OF Toronto,
Province OF Ontario; James A. Dempsey Of
Geneva, and Robert w. Boyd of Middleboro,
England At the signal Hanan rushed to the
front, followed by Boyd and Riley. After a time
Ross pushed ahead of Boyd and they fought
steadily for the third position beyond the half
mile. Finally Ross passed the Englishman and
passed Hanlan before reaching the turning point
by three or four lengths, with Riley second Han
Ian third. Gaudier seemed to have fouled with
his buoy in turning, and Boyd Jared no better,
for he came in contact with his buoy and was de
tanned nearly half minute As the buoy was
rounded the wind freshened perceptibly and
white caps adorned the pillows at frequent inter-
walls Ross steered toward the eastern Shore with
Riley second and the champion third. Ross main
tanned his lead, and about half a mile from the
turn Hanlan was seen to cease rowing and rest
on his oars. When asked what was the matter
from the press boat, he placed his hand upon his
chest as though experiencing pain. At this time
Ross was several lengths in advance, with Riley
second. The water was exceedingly rough and
one oarsman was seen to leave his boat. The
police boat and several other boats went to his
rescue. Plaisted and Ten Eyck were steering for
the western Shore with the latter in advance.
Ross kept the leading position very easily and at
the finish had lead of thirty-six seconds, with
Riley second and Ten Eyck third. Following is
the official time; Ross twenty-nine minutes, fifty
four seconds Riley thirty minutes, thirty and one
half seconds; Ten Eyck thirty minutes, fifty-eght
seconds. The prizes are $1,000 to first, 1880 to
second and $500 to third. IIanlan arrived at To-
ronto Saturday, rather respondent, but he stoutly
maintains that his actions were square

We understand that Judge IlsIey,
chairman Of the recent Democratic Con-
sentative parish convention, has called
upon the delegates from the several
wards to recommend persons for appoint
ment on the parish committee which tie
convention authorized him to constitute.
When the representatives Of the various
wards have been designated, Judge
Ilsley will name the members from the
parish at large. 1t seems probable, not
outstanding the conflict of interest that
has presumably arisen in their midst as
result of the split at Morgan City, that
the faction which controlled the late
parish convention will persist in carry
ing out its plan Of setting up separate
parochial organization and force the dis
pute between themselves and the exist
ing parish committee before the State
central committee for arbitration.

Registration proceeds slowly, and the
prospect is that the aggregate Of new
voters added to the rolls will be very
small. Crowds of citizens visit the Su-
pervisor's Office, but most of them desire
simply to have changes of residence
noted or to assure themselves that their
names are on the registration lists. The
Supervisor is at his office in Donaldson
vile, opposite the Market-Honse, and
will remain there until the 23rd inst
when registration finally closes.
