TO- BOAT RACE.
All Arrangements Made for the Big Event
Money for Gaudaur.

Public interest in to-morrow's boat race be-
tween Gaudaur and Teemer is exceedingly
great. Yesterday prominent sporting man
tried to charter yacht SO that himself and
friends could accompany the race, but the
yachts were all engaged already. There will
be good supply of steamers. however. Cap
tain Clark alone will have the Twilight and
barge that will accommodate 1000 people.
Other boats will leave the McKeesport wharf.
The race will be rowed promptly between
4:30 and P. NJ. without fail, unless rough water
causes a postponement, and that will hardly
occur. The men both claim to be in the con-
dition they desired to be.
1t is expected that about 5000 mill men will
make Friday the short working day of the
week in order to see the race. But few persons
will be allowed in the referees quarters on the
referee boat and they will be representatives
Of the press, the reason being that crowd of
20 or even less occupying the referees quarters
would interfere too much to permit thar
gentleman from fulfilling his duty to the best
of his ability or as is required.
In local betting circles last evening Gaudaur
seemed to be most fancied. One gentleman
called at this office last evening, making
inquiries for Teemer's money.

PHILADELPHIA, September 11.-At As
bury Park, which usually suffers compara-
lively little damage, the loss to Mr.. Brad
lev, who owns the pavilion and board walk,
will be very heavy. The fishing pier has
suffered the most serious damage. The
outer end has been knocked 20 feet out of
the line of the waves The railing and seats
are mostly gone, and the flooring has been
torn up so that it will be impossible to walk
upon it till new floor is laid.
The pilings are gradually rasped to splinters
by the action of the water and the floating
driftwood. The little house at the shore end
of the pier rocks with the gale and two watch
men stationed there never leave 1t. All the
pavions on the beach front of both the park
and grove have suffered. This is particularly
SO with Ross and Lillagore's, the two Ocean
Grove pavilions. At the former the aoor is
completely gone, and the board walk directly
west Of it is covered with sand and debris.
THE LITTLE STANDS ESCAPED.
The waves have battered in the doors and the
sides of the bath houses, but the little stands
where fruit and candy are sold were saved by

even worse state of affairs prevails. A por-
tion of the roof has been torn off, a number of

have gone by the board
