One of the delegates OF Alabama was absent.
When the Arkansas delegation was called
one of the delegates challenged the vote and 1t
was taken by call of delegates The result
was the same as originally announced.
The vote of Florida was challenged and the
roll of Florida delegates was called but the
result was he same.
The vote of Kansas was also taken By the
call of delegates but 10 change was made from
the original announcement.
During the roll call there were nunaerous
calls for poll of delegates, which necessssated
the calling by the Secretary of names OF indi-
vidual delegates in States from which these
calls proceeded. This caused great delay in
balloting.
After announcement of the vote the chair
said: "Tha ballot for q candidate for the presi-
dency having been had without securing a
nomination, according to the rules the conven-
ton will now proceed to another vote and the
Secretary will call the roll.'
The Secretary called the roll of States for
the second ballot, which resulted as follows:

At the conclusion OF the third ballot, Mr.
Roosevelt of New York moved to adjourn till
p. m, and instantly great confusion ensued,
which was not quelled for nearly half an hour.
Illinois voted Is against Adjournment, and
20 for poll demanded.
Before the official result was announced, it
was given out that Logan had tslegraphed his
managers to change his vote to Blaine, and
the excitement and confusion was great.
The result of the third ballot was announced
at 2. 10 p. m. The gains made on the Blaine
vote, and the understanding that the Logan
vote would probably be transferred to Blaine,
produced another storm of cheering and wild
enthusiaom for Blaine.
Judge Foraker moved that Blaine be nomi-
mated by reclamation.
Mr.. Roosevelt of New York, demanded the
call of the roll. amid great excitement.
The roll was called on the motion to adjourn
and IL was voted down.
Tue Chair then ordered the fourth ballot
taken. When Illinois was reached, Chairman
Cullom, of that delegation, said ~ ask leave
OF the convention to read dispatch which ar
rived few minutes ago from Gen. Logan, ad-
dressed to the Illinois delegation. 1 am di-
rected by Gen. Logan to read it to the conven-
tion, and shall send the dispatch to the desk to
be read. Loud cries of "Noi'' 'No!" and
great confusion.l
Mr.. Burrows of Michigan made point of
order that the reading of the despatch was
not in order and the chair sustained the point
OF order. Loud applause.
Mr.. Cullom then said: The Illinois delega-
ton withdraws the name of General Logan
and gives for Blaine "a votes, for Logan 7,
and for Arthur 8. loud applause and loud
cheers.
When Ohio was called, Judge Foraker said:
For what supposed to be the best interest of
the party presented the name of John Sher-
man to the convention; also supposing it to be
for the best interests of the party we have I'M
til now favorably and most cordially supported
him. Now also in the interests of the party,
we withdraw him and cast for James G.
Blaine 46 votes. Tremendous outbursts of
apDlause.)
The secretary then announced the result OF
the fourth ballot for President.

Especial Dispatch to the PREss.)
AUGUSTA, June 6.-When the nomination of Mr..
Blaine had become certainty, PRESS reporter
left in the afternoon the five O'Clock train for
Augusta to learn how the candidate received the
nomination, and how his friends and neighbors
noticed the honor paid their distinguished towns
man. Mr.. Blaine was quietly sitting under the
apple trees on his lawn surrounded by his family
and personal friends, and was by far the most I'M
concerned person among them as the kilograms
from Chicago were handed to him by the messen-
gers. In fact, he was somewhat Ieproached by his
family for manifesting little interest," and him
self said that not until he heard the result of the
first ballot taken had he confidence in his nomina-
ton. AS the votes began to change ig the last
ballot it became evident to all that he was to be
nominated, but for long time after the announce
ment of the change in the vote of Florida
the only telegram received was couched
in the three words, Blaine is nominated"
This, however, was sufficient. The news spread
throughout the town in almost an instant. In
very few moments after the receipt of the dispatch
flag was swung out on Water street, between
buildings of Mr.. e. G. Allen the great publisher of
Augusta and prominent Democrat, bearing the
inscription, "Our Next President, j. G.. Blaine !"
and the sound of gun from Hallowell doomed on
the air. Mr.. Blaine received the news with the
same manly dignity and calmness which he has OBJ
served throughout the whole of the past week.
One could well believe on seeing him, what would
otherwise be a most surprising fact, that he had
permitted five thousand and more letters on the
subject Of his candidacy to remain unanswered,
and had not requested single personal friend to
represent him at the convention. His neighbors
and friends began to gather, and in ten minutes
two hundred and fifty people we're throngine
about him, while the streets we're filed with those
hurrying to his residence. Bells were ringing can

In all these places there were groups of officials

BRUNSWICK, June 6.-Ivy day was celebrat-

was the class race. between the the crews of 'S5
aud 'S7. The Juniors got the better start and
were closely followed by the Freshmen. 's5
soon spurted and gained several lengths, but
were almost overhauled at the foot of the is
land, 'S5 turned first and started for home with
clear lead which they held to the finish, win
ming easily in 10 minutes, 10 seconds. Fresh
men time, 10 minutes, At seconds. After this
there was mile exhibition pull between the
college crew and the Dirigo crew of Portland.
The Portland men took water first, pulling AZ
strokes to the minute. Bowdoin quickly fol-
lowed and passed the Portlands, whose steering
was very wild. The Bowdoins steered per-
feet course and their stroke of AZ to the min
ute was strong and steady. The Portland boys
could not hold the pace and dropped to 80
which they held throughout The last half,
Bowdoin had all her own way and spurted
finely up to the finish. Portland finished in
rather loose form and steered poorly. At p.
m. the Field day prizes were given in the
chapel, and the cups were bestowed upon the
winning crew.
