Interesting Events 10 Take Plaee-Cour;.
ney 10 Row Against Time.
NEw YORK, September 12,-Throughout
the central and western sections Of the
State the interest Of boating and sporting
men is now centered upon the amateur
regatta to take place on Wednesday apd
Thursday OF next week at Cayuga Lake
Hotel, near Sheldrake-on-Ca Cayuga. John
E. Allen, the proprietor, has allotted $500
for badges and club trophies for winners,
which will rival in richness those awarded
In the National regattas. On the last day
OF this regatta Charles +. Courtney will row
a race against time to beat the best record
for three miles-9Gl4-made by Teemer,
the wonder from Pittsburgh, at the Pull
man regatta this spring.
The circumstances resulting in this at
tempt are OF some interest to sporting men.
James II. Brister was Courtney's backer at
the time OF the Chautauqua affair. Since
that time the two men have not been
on speaking terms. Brister was at the
Watkins regatta. So was Courtney's pres
ent backer, wealthy young man, whose
name by the way, Is not John II. Gree, OF
OF New York, as has been stated. Not
knowing each other these two men, Court
news former and present hackers, met in q
crowded stage. Brister shook 5000
above his head, and offered to
stake that amount against $1,000
that Wallace Ross could outrow Court
ney. Courtney's backer placed $1,000 in
the hands Of the regatta judge at the
finish. Brister put his money out Of
sight, quibbled, and at last refused to
make good his offer. He was 30 scourged
by the ridicule Of hisfriends, who heard Of
the occurrence, that he subsequently Of.
fcred $1,000 even money that Courtney
could not beat the record. This was
speedily accepted, and the race is to be
rowed, as stated, at the Cayuga Lake
Hotel regatta next Thursday. Courtney
has cancelled two ether dates, and has
begun his training on the course over
which he will row.

views touching Buffers future. Blaine
said he rarely noticed sensational para.

case say the views attributed to
him we're exactly the reverse Of those be
held. Be did not believe Butler could be
reelected Governor oil Massachusetts, and
had the fullest confidence that Republi;

The Republican party, he added, would be
found far stronger in the elections Of 1855

MASSACHUSETTS, poLIrIcs.
what senator Dawes Thinks ofthe Sit
uhtion In Tint stete. u


CHICAGO, September 12.-rhe Tribune
has the following: Senator Dawes, OF
Massachusetts,, being in the city, a reporter
for The Tribune called upon him TO obtain
his views on political matters. The sena.
tor said that his views in regard to the
struggle in the Bay State had not changed
materially since he was interviewed by The
Tribune some Ave weeks ago. Buffers
success last year was due largely to ospathy
among Republicans. Owing to bad blood,
growing out Of the nominations and other
causes, thousands Of Republicans remained
away from the polls, while Butler made a
tremendous effort and and received quitea
support from old Republican friends. !.
was personal triumph more than Demo:
cratic victory. He has been . failure. BY
going over to the Democrats, body and soul,
he has alienated the Republicans who
supported him, and his course has not
been such as to strengthen him with the
old Bourbon element, who oaly sup.
ported him at the best reluctantly. This
year the Republican party will be a unit.
All personal business will be laid aside,
and common cause made against the man,
who, in his capacity as Governor, has tried
to throw mud on the good name OF the
State by ridiculing and trying to lover the
character Of her Institutions. That Butler
will run, Senator Dawes regards as certain,
and he will make terrific fight for victory,
because II he carries the State this year It
will almost certainly give him the Demo.
cratic nomination for the Presidency, and
1t is to that he Is looking more than 10 the
mere loyal triumph. But he will find him
self left out 10 the cold, for full vote will
come out this fall, and when full vote
comes out in Massachusetts the issue Is not
uncertain. It means Republican victory.

that there will be pretty fight when

New YORK, September l2.-Ex-G Governor
Luke Blackburn, Of Kentucky, who says
he leaves office with more pleasure than he
accepted it, is guest at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel. Governor Blackburn married one
of two charming sisters, the other OF whom
is Mrs. Zane OF Louisville. Their father
comes Of an old Virginia family that set
tied in Wheeling, and afterward founded
the TRYING town Of Zanesville, o. Mr.. and
Mrs. Zane have been travelling in Europe
for two years. They sailed for home On
the City Of Rome last Tuesday, and Gov
ernor Blackburn is here to receive them.
Mrs. Blackburn, whom the people Of Ken
lucky have always expressed such tender
regard tor. is still at the WarmSprings in Viz,
ginia. When Talmage was in Kentucky
this summer, Governor Blackburn was at
some pains to entertain him as he thought
the Chiei Executive Of the State should
do. The result was that MI. Talmags had
very interesting visit. Last Sunday
Governor Blackburn thought he would go
over to Brooklyn and hear Mr.. Talmage
preach, In order to have an opportunity
of speaking TO the Brooklyn divine alter
ward, he sent his card to him by an usher.
Then he took a pew and listened to the
sermon. Suddenly he was surprised by a
gentleman who tapped him on the shoul-
der, and beckoned the Governor to follow
him down the aisle. The congregation
was sbout to begin hymn. The man led
the wondering ex-governor to the plat
form, and as the preacher clasped the Ken.
