81 BOAT RACE.
Some Facts in Regard to the Proposed
Race Between Weisgerber and Boil.

Some Facts In Regard to the Proposed
Race Between Wsisgerber and Boil.
The REGISTER exclusively published
Yesterday morning the challenge Of
Boil, of Mckeesport, to Weisgerber,
of this city, to row a chree mile race for
$500 a side. This challenge was re.
sponded to personally by Weisgerber
Yesterday morning, in Pittsburgh, and
the following from last nights Ercntng
Leader will explain itself:
"Weisgerber is in the city to day and
our reporter had an interview with him
regarding the above challenge. Weis.
gerber says he will accept, but in this
way: He said:
4 will row Mr.. Boil a C but l pre-.
fer to row for 81, 900 a side, instead of a
pure OF 81 900, and for a bet Of $500,
and l will row him on the Wheeling
course, the same over which he and
Clator rowed. All the other conditions
suit me-
But what is the difference, asked the
reporter, between a parse OF s. 1000 and
a $500 bet, and your offer to row for
81, 900 a side?
"In the amount OF money, no differ.
| ence. The simple fact is, that while |
have backing to the amount OF money |
want to row for, / have no money OF my
own to bet"
And now it remains for Boil to say
what he will do. We understand that
John Maxwell, the boat builder, repre-
sents Weisgerber, and is willing to meet
Mr.. Boil or his representative at the
Leader office any time If the conditions
suit.

The Coming Dramatic Star.

Frederic Paulding, the brilliant young
American actor, who will appear at the
Opera House next Thursday evening as
paul Douglas, in the charming Dramatic
drama, "The Love OF this Life" He
was the first child born within the pre-.
cincts Of the Military Academy
at West Point. His father,
Colonel Richard /. Dodge, now
on General Sherman's staff, being at
the time one of the professors there.
His mother, Mrs. Julia Paulding Dodge,
Is a lineal descendent OF the famous
Paulding who, with VanWert and vii.
liams, captured Major Andre, the
British spy, during the revolution. She
was also connected by ties OF consangu.
ity with Commodore Paulding, Wash.
ington Irving, the author Of the
legsnd OF "Sieepy Hollow" with
the poet Longfellow and Henry Irving,
the dramatic idol of England at the
present time. Mr.. Paulding from his
earliest youth evinced decided dramatic
talent, and made his deout as an actor
in amateur theatricals at LeavenwOrth,
Kansas, at an entertainment given at
the government post undor the direc.
ton OF Major, now Gen. Swain,
whom the public now knows 30
we'll and so favorably, IS the
especial friend ami confidant OF Presi-
dent Garfield. His success was pro.
nounced and unequivocal and deter.
mined him to adopt the sock and bus
kin. During a visit to England Mr..
Paulding enjoyed the advice and TUE
lage of his relative. Henry Irving for
quite awhile. For three years he has
been before the American public and a
well. known critic, speaking of him says:
"In many respects Frederick Pauld-
ing is q marvellous actor. He impresses
you at the very outset with the idea that
he thoroughly understands his author.
With the fire of Kean. the intensity OF
Barrett and the intelligence Of Booth,
he has a grace, dash and originality of
his own that is perfectly charmisg.
His voice is strong, powerful and melo-
dious and under perfect control. When
he shall have had experience-and he
is rapidly acquiring 1.-THE will stand in
the very forefront OF his profession"
This is high praise, indeed. "The
Love OF His Life" is said to be q very
beautiful play and affords Mr.. Paulding
full scope for the best display of his
abilities. Reserved seats are now on
sale at Wilson & Banners.

THEsTAR ROUTE CASES.
District Attorney Corkhin Ex-
plains Why the Grand Jury
Was Dismissed.

Was Dismissed.
WASHINGTON, September l9..Cdh.
cisms upon District Attorney Corkhfll
for giving the grand jury recess instead
OF promptly taking up the Star Route
cases have brought out Q defense which
il is understood is from Corkhill himself.
In this defense it is stated "that when
the present grand jury adjourned last
summer it was well understood by the
officers OF court and foreman OF the
grand jury that the regular term would
not commence till the first OF October
aud the District Attorney informed
the foreman that there would
be no trouble, unless some unusual
emergency should arise in his being ex'
cused the last two weeks in September.
In consequence 10 witnesses were sum
moned and only one case presented. Ii
ia also proper to state that District Az
torney Corkhill was informed by b
Attorney General before he left Tor
Long Branch that he would be notified
in ample time when the special cases
would be ready for presentation to the
grand jury and proceed with his regular
official duties without any reference 70
him. There was an impression In the
public mind when the grand Jury was DIS
missed last summer that the Star Route
cases we're I be taken up in September.
This impression was created by re-
marks OF Col. Cook and others connect,
ed with the Star Route prosecutions and
the public we're not then informed OF an
understanding that the grand jury
would not enter on its work until Octo.
Der. 1t was because Of the statement OF
Cook and others OF the prosecution that
the Star Route cases would be ready n
September, that 30 much has been said
in the way OF the criticism for the re-
cent dismissal OF the grand jury. 1t 10
now said that unless Guiteau's trial In.
tervenes the Star Route 8 will be
taken up next month.
