COURTNEY AND C0NLEY WINNERS. Some Pretty Rowing Done by the
 Union Springs ScuIler.
 ALBANY, Aug. 20.-The double scul1 race between Courtney and Conley and Hosmer and Gaudaur took place at the Pleas ure Island course at o'clock this evening" Excepting slight wind everything was pro- pitious. By that time at least seven thou sand persons were in position to witness the contest. A special train brought eight hun dred Bostoniaus to see the anticipated walk over of their favorites, Hosmer and Gau- daur. They brought $10,000 with them, most of which was covered. It is estimated that $2O,00O changed hands. Hosmer and Gaudaur were strong favorites and sold 100 to 30. Some sanguine brokers placed 25 to 5 in favor of Hosmer and mate. Mayor Charles s. Francis was referee. The boats of both crews were of cedar and very similar. They were forty inches wide, thir ty-fve feet long and weighed ffty-two pounds. All the men were in splendid con- dition, Courtney weighing 173, Conley 160, Hosmer 150 and Gaudaur 172 pounds. The Courtney colors were white and Hosmer's OAuc. AAoy WILD ooSlAy ONOl the entire course. Courtney and Conley won the inside post. At 6 p. m. the word Ego" was given. The white took the water and before there lengths were rowed had slight lead which grew as on they sped. The blue got out of their water and took the whites wash. At the half mile the white shirts were two lengths ahead. When the turn was reached the distance was increased to five lengths. At the turn both boats fouled on the stake boats the white getting the worst of it and losing fully two lengths thereby. Conley's left scull got fouled on the stake boat and Courtney got in some pretty work, shipping his scul1 over Conley's and rowing a splendid finishing turn. The fouls of both boats were caused by the strong current. After the turn the white lead by three lengths, but the blue spurted and gained length. but the effort exhausted them. Closing in home Courtney and Conley did some excellent work, finishing three lengths ahead amid the cheers of the multitude. Time 17:5714; blues time 17:59. This breaks the record.
 Hosmer entered protest against the race being given to Courtney and Conley, claim ing that Ryan, the judge at the turn, had helped them round the stake boat, but this was not sustained as everybody near the turn, including the newspaper men whose boat was close by, denied it. It is under stood that Hanlan and Lee will challenge the

THE CIVIL SERVICE EXAMINERS

Looking After Appointments In The
 New York Custom House.
 NEW YORK, Aug. 20.-Mr. Dorman B. Eaton, chairman of the civil service commis sion, was at the custom house to-day. He met there Chairman Comstock, of the civil service examining board of the custom house. During the forenoon he was engaged in an informal investigation as to the methods adopted for the examination of candidates for office. At the close Mir. Eaton went into the office of the naval officers where MT. Ly- man, chief examiner of the civil service com mission, had also been holding quiet inves- tigation in connection with the selection of candidates for appointment. In answer to questions from reporter Mir. Eaton said: "The members of the civil service commis- sion came here to find out who would be the proper person to appoint on the examining board. I cannot say why all the examining board resigned. The newspapers intlmated that there were gross troubles in the custom house. We came here to find out what it was all about. When the nominations are sent in, having been able to make the &C., quaintance of many persons by these visits, we shall be able to act. I cannot say wheth- CT or not any further investigation will be made to-day"
 The special examination of the candidates for the vacancies which have been reported by the collector and surveyor is expected to begin to morrow. Several applicants have already filed their papers with the secretary of the examining board

Our streets are oveTrun with nOxlous
weeds hog-weeds, coffee-weeds and
bitter-weeds. The last species is most
abundant and obnoxious. Many of our
sidewalks are SO covered with this OBJ
noxious growth that ladies and gentle
men cannot walk upon them without
getting their clothing soiled. Our town
is shabby enough in appearance at all
times but just now it resembles an I'M
kept Wilderness more than anything
else. 1t would give a very small amount
Of trouble to individual prOprietors it
they would cut away this unsightly
growth from the streets bordering their
properties, and at the same time it
would relieve our tOwnfOlk, to some
extent at least, of the reproach OF SLOW
emily indifference to appearances. 1t
you have no scythe get hoe; and ii
you have no boy about the house big
enough to pull weeds, hire darkie for
a quarter or half dollar, and put him
to work at once upon these abOminable
weeds. And when this job is done, buy
a white wash brush and bushel of
lime and give touch to your fences
and outbuildings. Every man, woman
and child in Opelousas ought to feel
ashamed Of the general ugly appear
ance of the town, and each individual
can and ought to do something to i'm
prove the looks of the place.

Death of am Esteemed COIored
Man.
New iberia Enterprise, July %.


Luc de Clouet died on Tuesday, 21st
inst, at the age of II years, at his resi-
dence in the parish of st. Martin, one
mile above Breaux Bridge. It would
be objectionable on our part to let pass
his departure from this world without
short notice, for until after the war
st. Martin and Iberia formed but one
parish.
Luc was born as slave on the plan
tatiOn OF Mr.. Chevalier DelhOmme, and
during all the time of slavery always
proved himself to be- true and faithful
servant. During the war, having re-
manned the property of Mrs. Delhomme,
after the death of his master, he was
| yet true to her and was her guardian
and protector in the trouble of the
invasion by the Federal troops. After
the war, having been set FREQ, he stayed
with his old mistress, taking her inter-
ests IL all matters and managing her
| plantation with ability and good judg-
ment. With deep sense of regard for
SO much fidelity and attachment, Ma
dam DelhOmme gave him a farm adj
joining her own of 100 acres of land.
On that farm he prOspered and raised
large family. Luc was always true
friend to both white and black and a
! laW-abiding citizen. He has always
beensa staunCh Democrat; invariably
casting an open ticket and has never
wayered from sound Democratic prin-
ciples. Among the people of his color
he was looked upon as an old patriarch.
His advice and counsel were eagerly
sought and we have known many white
people call for them in numerous cases.
Moderate in his actions, honest in his
dealings; true, kind and polite to all,
his example should be beacon light to
most OF his people. Many of his white
fellow citizens went to bid him a last
farewell at his death bed many also
were present at his burial to testify by
their presence the great respect in which
he was held by them. And does not all
this tend to- show that whenever true
merit is concerned, the color line is en-
tirely obliterated9 May his soul rest
in peace
