Ten Evoke Defeated in the Three-NIil
 Boat Race at Worcester.

Boat Race at Worcester.
 WORCESTER, Mass, Aug. 5,-The Hos mer-Ten Evoke three-mile race took place this afternoon at Lake Quinsigamond, the former winning easily in 19 minutes 52} seconds Ten Evoke came in twelve sec onds later. One thousand people were present. The start was made at 5:30. Hosmer secured half length start, rowing 36 strokes to the minute, with Ten Evoke close behind making tremendous exertions to overcome the lead and rowing fl strokes to the minute. At Regatta Point the Worcester oarsman caught up with Hosmer and for few minutes the two men rowed side by side. At the half mile Hosmer was leading by half length. The Boston man continued to gain and at the mile and a quarter was three lengths ahead, both men pulling 32 to the minute. Ten Eyck showed great generalship in drawing Hosmer to his side of the lake, necessita- ting greater curve, and consequently more distance to cover, and he rounded the curve at the end of the lake. Ten Eyck drew up little on Hosmer at the turn, which the latter reached in the fast time of minutes, 36 seconds, and the former 1n J minutes, 4U SecOuuS l ue men rounded the stake with Hosmer almost three lengths in the lead. Hosmer increased his lead to four lengths at the two-mile stake which he reached in 13 minutes, 21 seconds. Ten Eyck was row ing quick, clean stroke, while Hosmer splashed considerably.

Ten Eyck claimed foul, say | ing that at the turn the stern of Hosmer's g | boat collided with his boat, but as neither the referee nor the judges at the state saw anything that approached to foul, it was not admitted. Hosmer was awarded the race. Daniel Downey of Worcester was the referee. The judges for Hosmer were John Cumming and J. P. Neil at the stake; for Ten Eyck, E. J. Kerns on the boat and James Dorsey at the stake. Official time keepers were Fred Hawkins and Eugene Buckley. The stakes were $250 side and

HIT RACE QUESTION.

The report of the judge advocate general derives it's chief interest from his decision on the vexed race question. As his con- clusions differ from the recommendations of the commander in chief, the dispute is only further complicated The decision is as follows:
 The question proposed "Whether there can lawfully be two departments covering the same territory at the same time; for instance, a department made up of white posts and another of black posts or one of foreign born and another of native born" l think the question must be answered in the negative
 1-The idea is contrary to the usage and universal understanding of the order hitherto.
 2-The rules and regulations, chapter I, article III, see I, provides for precinct organizations to be designated by names and numbers indicating that there may be several posts in the same place. But sec ton of the same articles provides for state organizations to be known as "de- partment of (name of state or territory Grand Army of the Republic" No other name or designation is contemplated or provided for. If second or ganization be formed in any state it would have the same name precisely without addition or diminutton as the first as the regulation is followed. If additional departments in states may be formed on lines of color or of birth they may on lines of personal followings or per sonal antiquities or upon disagreements of any kind. But without adverting further to the obvious evils likely to follow from establishing rival departments in any state it is enough that it is very clear that the | rules and regulations do not provide for ! nor warrant the establishment of but one department in any state or territory. PRESENTED WITH TWO GAvELs. During the forenoon discussion of the encampment Commander-in-C Chief Veazey was presented with two gavels. The first was an ivory one presented by Comrade Clarkson of Nebraska, and the other a wooden or "business gavel" presented by Comrade Duf6eld of Michigan. The latter | was made from the wood of the old flag staff that surmounted the fort at Detroit 13O years ago. It was this fort which re- pulsed the famous attack of the Pontiac Indians.
 The "negro question" was referred to { special committee, consisting of Merrill o1

THE FORMAL OPENING,


 The hall was crowded to it's utmost seat ing capacity by the veterans. It was full ly understood that the race question might be precipitated in the deliberations at any moment and become the subject of acrimonious discussion; and this impend- ing problem, together with the projected revision of the constitution, combined to heighten the general interest in the pro- ceedings.
 A few minutes before the hour of open ing, General Veazey and his staff entered the hall and were escorted to the grand stand. The appearance of the commander in-chief was the signal for generous ap- plause. Tapping the assembly to order, the commander-in- announced the formal opening of the encampment, and directed the adjutant-general to call the roll of departments. Every state and ter ritory in the union, not even excepting Alaska, was represented, and the roll showed the fullest attendance of delegates in the history of the organization.

 DETROIT, Aug. 5.-The twenty-ffth an- nual encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic met in formal session this morning in the large hall that had been set apart for the business deliberations of the veterans. All that could be done to make the building attractive had been done. At the head of the hall, over the platform, was large Grand Army of the Republic badge, fanked on each side by American flags, and in the rear was the great seal of the United States, also set be- tween flags. From the ceiling hung fes- toons of the flags of the republics of the world. The side walls were draped with cream-colored bunting, and the windows were curtained with silk and lace. The balconies were draped with garnet silk plush, embroidered with silk and gold, set off by suits of nickel-plated armor, sur rounded by American flags of the army and navy and by American shields with silver wreaths. The sides of the trusses of the buildings and the walls below the balco- nies were hung with cream -colored bunt- ing, on which were placed the seals of the states and territories, each surrounded by silk flags and gilt eagles. At the bottom of each truss were clusters of incandescent lamps.
