PoOl-seIIing To-day.
Pools were sold again this mo, n;; ;.- at the
Imperiiaa,, Hotel. Tho prices ranged about
the same as last night, and there was II
larger number of bidders present. The
greatest interest was manifested however,
in the double SOULS race, which was to open
the contest to-day. In the first heat, first
race, Pawtucket sold for $40, and the field
| for 81. In the second heat the Nautilus
crew from Hamilton, Ontario, took the
lead rs a popular favOrite, and sold from $50
to $50 as first choice on the heats, the field
selling for S3j.
Incidents Before the Start.
A number Of strangers arrived in the city
to-day, mostly friends of the oarsmen. Tho
scene along the river was not very lively at
noon. The water was good and the sun
was hot. A number of stands had been
erected along the course, but few spectators
occupied seats on them, as the public did
not care to expose themselves to the heat,
Later in the day, however, the people oe-
gan to arrive and interest increased. All the
oarsmen were on hand carly, and about the
several boat houses there was much hustle
and excitement. The balcO.iles of:the boat
houses were filled with laiiies. The steamer
Mary Washington, with passengers, lay at
Easby's wharf, the Jane MOselcy at the
wharf of tho New York steamers, and
q barge lay off the lower end Of Analostan
E1s'and. The arrangements for the press
though were damnabe after agreeing last
night to charter boat for which the news
papers represented agreed to pay jointly.
When the newspaper men arrived this
morning they found that the tug
chartered had been restricted to carry
but eleven passengers only and they were
expected to pay $40 piece Il day for using
the boat. The newspaper men, very nat
urally indignant, declined to accept such n
proposition, and went elsewhere for accom-
modations. The committee in charge was en-
tirely to blame and were subjected to gen.
eral condemnation. This same tug boat on
ordinary occasions has been chartered for
$50 day and has carried from 20 to 30 pas
Interest im the Race.
, The large crowds which gathered ut the
Columbia, AnalOstan and Potomac boat
, houses early this morning to inspect the
little crafts which were to be entered in the
races, showed conclnsively that the most in
! tense interest was manifested by boating
people in the races. Before 8 O'clock this
! morning the river from the Aqueduct
bridge to Easily point was lined with trim
little crafts representing almost every city
. in the Union. The visiting oarsmen spoke in
. the highest terms of our local clubs
; for the manner in which they have been
/. treated since their arrival here They are
all very well satisfied, too, with the course
, over which they will have to row. Many
OF the shells which were used in the races
were ct u new and improved pattern, aud at
tracted great attention among our local
clubs and others interested in aquatic
, sports.
