The single sCull race between Messrs. W.
A. Smith, of the Columbia club, and Arthur
w. Harrison, OF the Potomacs, was rowed on
the upper course of the Potomac Saturday
evening Mr. w. c. Mckinney, of the Po-
tomacs was chosen referee, and followed the
men over the course in the eight-oared she'll
made up of half and half Potomacs aud CO.
lumbias, as follows: Warder, Trescott, Dox-
son, and Martin, of the Potomacs, and Doug
las, Lake, Thompson, and Zeigler, of the Co
lumbias. Mr.. Samuel stnemotz was judge
at tho finish for Smith, and Mr.. Phil. Dodge
filled the same position for Harrison. Both
men pulled up to the starting line promptly,
Smith looking in better physical condition
than Harrison, both being attired in their
club uniforms. At the word Harrison took
tho lead and pulled away from Smith very
rapidly with astroke of about thirty-fve, and
maintained his lead for about half of the en-
tire distance, when his stroke was seen to be-
come ragged and uneven, SO much SO that his
plucky little antagonist, who was pulling
along we'll within himself and at ease, soon
passed by and took commanding lead about
100 yards from the bridge. Harrison then
stopped pulling and gave up the race Upon
being spoken to, he said he was suffering with
1eisurely, and crossed the winning line in
1888, amid the cheers of his friends. About
half an hour later Harrison arrived at the
boat house, when he was found to be quite
sick, and had to be attended by DIR. Fry. He
said he went into the race without properly
training. and that he ought to have shown
more judgment. He felt his defeat rather
kcenly, for he was confident that he would
win. When Smith returned to the Columbia
house he received a royal welcome, the boys
carrying him bodily from the float.

Interesting discourses were delivered in

cupied the pulpit of the Church of the Re-
formation in the morning and Rev. NJ. Porter

interesting evening topic at the Fourth Street

|}nntin." At the First NJ. p. church "The
nI< stian's Prize" and "The Fountain
thed were the morning and evening sub
jetts A congregation composed largely of
United States sailors listened to an earnest
sermon by Chaplain Samuel Kramer in the
navy yard yesterday morning
The Eastern branch was greatly swollen
Yesterday. The rain came down in torrents
almost the entire day, and long before dark
the stream was filled with muddy, turbid
water from innumerable gullies rushing down
the yellow clay hillsides ON either side Of the
branch. Tho water was much above the
average level, and in its course to the main
Potomac carried vast quantities of floating
debris timbers, &C. Several small boats,
carelessly fastened were carried OIL, and their
owners had vexatiOus time recovering
them, extending their search in some in
stances into the night, 1t was reported later
that some OF inc CIdllS lhu Detu OuU

vest gathering logs, driftwood, &c, from the
