The Conley McKav Race.


The Herald says: Next in point Of interest
just now comes P. H. Conley, as oarsman sent
down from Portland, Me-, to row a match race
with John Mckay of Dartmouth on the 10th
inst. He must be classed under the head of
Biuenose oarsmen, for it is now pretty general
ly understood that he is eally native of the
island of Cape Breton, and probably has moro
Nova Scotian than American hackers. He Is
a man of mucn the same build as Warren
Smith, and not unlike him in his stroke.
Smith and Conley have been tried in double
scull, and were found to move together like
clock work. This similarity of style may be
owing to tho fact that both have, in the
past, been trained by the same man, as they
are now being. 1t is not unlikely that the Nc
Kay-Conley race will place these now compar-
atively unknown men high up on the aquatic
ladder so far as time is concerned. Mckay s
friends speak with every confidence of his
ability to defeat Conley next Thursday, and
readily back their opinion with money. He
certainly is remarkably well built young
man, and is we'll heated. AS before noticed,
he has match on with Maggie Of St. John, N.
B., after the Conley race, and if successful
then, will probably challenge Gaudier Of Tor
onto, whose challenge he was unable to accept
last year owing to i'll health. He is now ex-
pecting an invitation to row an oarsman Of
Portland, Me-, and Hamm.
There is to be regatta on Halifax harbor
on the 21st of June, the natal day of Halifax,
in which it is probable Mckay, Hamm, Mann
and Conley will take part. =

FALSE PRETENsEs.
Causing the Arrest Of a Man as Access
~ sorry.

Yesterdays PRass mentioned, in brief, that
boy was arrested for passing forged orders on
dry goods dealers of this city, and
getting the goods, and then claiming the or
ders were given him by another lad whose
name he did not know. This boy and a com
panion were released on promise that they
would try and find the original sinner.
Yesterday the boys hunted with will, and
finally designated George A. johnson, lad
aged II, who resides on Merrill street, as the
boy who gave them the orders, and johnson
when arrested by Marshal Bridges confessed
his crime. johnson was formerly employed by
Rines Bros, dry goods and there learned the
way in which dry goods firms make orders on
each other for spool cotton. For instance, a
firm would make it out in this fashion:
~ Black. at White.
4o-4 4o-s.
CO. 60-3
7O--4 ffs TURNER BROTHERS..
The order would thus call for spools each
of Nos 40, so, 60 and 70 black cotton, Coats
make, and each of Nos. 40, 80 and 60 of
white cotton, and would appear to come from
Turner Brothers. This order would be handed
say to A. Little & Co., who would hand over
the cotton The boy who received the cotton
on the order given him by johnson would
hand it over to him as soon as he got it. The
orders filed were as follows: One on Storer
Brothers for SIT; another on A. Little & Co.,
$500, and still another for $3.50; Deering,
Milliken & Co., $3.50; Twitchell, Chapman &
Co., $2S.O5; total, $685.. Finally an order
was carried to A. Little & Co.. and Mr.. East
man questioned the lad. His answers were so
confused Mr. Eastman took him to the sta
ton and there the Marshal gave him the
chance, with another companion, to discover
johnson. johnson, in his confession, claimed
he sold the cotton to James f. Coffee who is
grocer on Middle street, about As years old, of
good appearance, married, and has a family.
Officer Luther Sterling arrested Coffee who
denies buying the cotton obtained ON the or
ders. He says he only bought cotton Of john
son whom the latter was with Rines Brothers
and could get it five cents box cheaper.
Three boxes Of Coats cotton were fonnd in
Coffee's store, but may have been honestly
there. The prisoners will lbe brought before
the court to-day. Col. Lynch will act as coun-
sci for Coffee.
