THAT BOAT RACE.
He'll, "the Kid" aud oarsman, still bobs
up sercnely. lie has met the enemy and
conquered. Our people are all posted on
be fact that He'll, Of this city, and Felsing
Of Wheeling, attempted TO row boat rara
on -amrcaE August 10, but Tor some cause
could not get through the main span Of the
B. 4 o. railroad bridge without fouling one
another. All have doubtless learned the
decision, aud have heard more or less talk
over IT, il was evident TO everybody the
race might have been more exciting and
BclIairc might have been considerable
money ahead, if some wise heads
had just thought 10 have moved that
pier out of the river before the race. Of
course it was not in the way Of the rowcrs
but il served as good excuse to everybody
Never in tins world could the skill Of m
oarsmnu be contested in such IN alleged
race as was witnessed on the memorable
Saturday. The referee should have had the
race rowcd over again on Monday but il
was not his will. Zach Of the con-
testants feels at present as If he were
the better man, and TO hear the sup
porters Of Felsing talk, il is settled
matter in their mind. Last Monday when
the He'll men were not in the best Of hsmor,
those Wheeling sporting men came 10 Bel.
laire and wanted another race at once. In
their challenge to the Kid" they asked for
the editor Of the Pittsburg Sportsman as
referee, and stated they wanted the race
rowed at McKeesport or Williamsburg.
Fifty dollars, earnest money was deposited
with tae editor Of the Independent, and
three days given the He'll men 10
decide whittier they woald row
again for $500 side. Our boys hesitated
at first. but rather than be callei "squeal-
ers. they decided to pull again. The kid
wa willing they should have the Pittsburg
man as referee, but would listen 10 no such
proposition as going away from hon. TO
row This was sensible on his part and If
the Felsing men bad wanted 10 try 1t again
they would have taken Hrifat his word. A
fair referee is all that is necessary,
and three miles in Bellaire is
three miles at Mckeesport or Wellsburg.
The people Of this city recognize in Eel.
sing an able sculler, and pretty square
sort OF fellow, but are inclined 10 think
the Wheeling boys were trying little game
