THE ROWING REGAT IA.
An Interesting Contest in the Front Har.
Dor.

The skies were clouded preventing
a glarel. from the sun, and the waters
were very smooth yesterday morning
when the rowing regatta took place.
The course was from State street wharf
to Grand Trunk elevator wharf The
first were called were the Junior single
shells. There were three entreis: j.
7. Mccarthy, James F. Harrington and
Edward Morton. They all started well
together, followed by the referees boat.
containing Alderman MCGOWAN, Coun-
Gilman O'Neil, Referee Frates and Start
er Dennis and other gentlemen. The
three started well together, Harrington
quickly took the lead, and held it we'll
down the couse, until Mccarthy caught
him and then to Custom House wharf it
was pretty race, Harrington leading
with Mccarthy close behind, Morton
losing somewhat by bad steering. Har-
rington and Mccarthy reached the low
er stakes together, but turning Nc
earthly had little the advantage by
squirting. Harrington tried hard to
catch Mccarthy but couldn't. Morton
got out of his bad position and made
try for Harrington but the three men
passed the finish line Mccarthy first,
Harrington second and Morton third.
Prizes gold and silver watches. Time:
13m, 40s.
The double working boat race was a
good one. The entries were O'Neil and
mate, No. 1. Driscoll and mate, No. 2,
Clary and mate, No. 8. All started
well together and for about quarter of
a mile kept within a few lengths of each
other. Then O'Neil and mate forged
ahead, with Driscol andl mate second,
and Clary and mate rowing steadily and
bringing up the rear. At Custom House
wharf the positions had changed little,
Clary and mate collaring Driscoll and
mate and making pretty race to the
turn, where Driscoll and mate secured
the advantage which was lost by the
squirt made by Clary and mate. From
the stake to Ferry wharf the two boats
made handsome race for second place,
O'Neil and mate keeping in the advance.
At this point Driscoll and mate got too
close to the wharf and in putting out
they took Clary and mates water, and
the two boats fouled. Clary and mate
got ahead and at Smiths wharf it looked
as if they won Id give the leaders a tug,
but O'Neil and mate made pretty squirt
and crossed the finish line first about II
lengths ahead of Clary and mate who
were second and Driscoll and mate third.
A protest was entered by Driscoll and
mate but the referee decided against
them as they took Clary and mates
water. Prizes: first, silver watches;
second, gold rings. Time O'Neil and
Mechan, lam. Clary and Smith, lam.
49s.
In the intermediate races for single
shells the entries were Thomas Quinn,
T. H. Mccarthy and ]. f. Mccarthy
Quinn led on the start and it was we'll
contested race to the turns, with Tim
Mccarthy making a strong fight for first
position and holding it with great effort
from ]. F. Mccarthy, who was st.ug-
Cling hard for it.
AS they neared the stake Quinn lost
his bearing and turned Tim McCarthy's
stake and foul appeared imminent. but
by quick work Quinn averted an acct
dent. The men then squared away for
! home, Quinn two lengths in the lead, j.

appointed time and got over the pre-
scribed line of march in good season and
in good form.
Among the features were "Jonah AL
lens wife en- route for Saratoga" very
good representation. Next to this was
a diminutive donkey and rider. The
donkey got tired out and lay down on
High street, and had to be hauled home
much to the sorrow of his youthful own
or and rider.
'sBetsey and are out" was another
feature. An ancient rig with the horse
labeled zoe and a fraction. This team
had hard work to keep out of the way
of a hay-rack filled with family from
way back and antique furniture, bound
for the Works Fair.
The Darktown Fire Brigade, gotten up
by Casco SIS men. has been described,
and was good. They, however. found

The representation Of a sheriff's raid

dtlced.
The Kilmores Band of the Y. M. G. A.
produced the most calathumpian kind of
harmony.
After the parade reached the end of
the route, the Darktown fire brigade sue
ceeded in putting out an incipient blaze
in Christopher Columbus French's house
near the head Of Exchange street. which
might have proved destructive confla-
grafton had not the efficient brigade been
on hand. Thanks to low water rates and
good supply of the article, the fire was
subdued, and also probably to the ardor
and enthusiasm of the members of the
brigade, for about everything and every
body in the vicinity of the exhibition
was well wet down. Mr., French's prop
erty was covered by the following poll

MAJOR j. G. PASGBoRS. looking for things
that needed improvement or reform, and
when he finds them he talks right out in
meeting" whether it be to the national
commissioners the board of directors, the
fair officials or to individual or associated
exhibitors. He has been a~ntagonized and
"sat upon" a number of times by the off
Gals, but never acknowledges defeat. He
is very enthusiastic about the success of the
fair, and his efforts to promote it have been
most energetic. He is the manager of the
big Baltimore and Ohio exhibit.
The major is general agent of the Balti-
more and Ohio road and handles most of
their special trains on which distinguished
| parties are carried. He has taken Presi-
dent Cleveland on many fishing trips and
took the president and Mrs. Cleveland to
Deer Park on their wedding tour. His first
! service as a railroad man was with the San
ia Fe in 1876, up to which date he was q
journalist and practically at the head Of
the Kansas City Times.
Major Pangborn's title is purely honor
airy. He says he never was a major and
never expects to be. But he saw five hard
years of service in the Federal army during
the war, at first under Mcclellan in the
Army of the Potomac, and then under
Banks in the Army of the Gulf. He enlist
ed before he was 16 and was mustered out
in Texas a year after the fighting was over.

it at all in yesterdays game. The skill
at baseball Of which they had been 90
proud, deserted them; their stock sold
away below par all through the game.
and the club finally went into the hands
of a receiver.
The lean men on the contrary, played
a skilfull game. In the beginning, Lit
ties curves were puzzling to the fats,
and they retired without a run in the
first inning. The lean men hammered
out four, and when the fats went to bat
again, they found Little to the extent of
two runs The leans made three the
next inning, and the fats came in for
four. Then the fats spurted, and made
seven in the first half If the fourth in
ming. The leans made seven in the last
half of the third, and in the fourth
rolled up nine. In the first half of the
fifth the fats dropped to two, making
their total score fifteen in the five in
nings, and as the leans had twenty-three
in four innings, the last half of the fifth
was not played.
Each of the mines had several new
players, who distinguished themselves
for ability and gracefulness. N. F.
Boucher was impressed into service
by the fats at about the middle of the
game, and did wondrous work. Dickey
Penwarden's manipulation of the bat
was the occasion of prolonged applause,
and other new players covered them
selves with dust and glory in about
equal quantities.
Probably the feature of the game was
the rapidity with which the fats changed
pitchers, and the number of the changes.
Every man in the team was impressed
into service in the box, and his merit
tested. After he had allowed the leans
to make a half dozen runs, he was re-
moved and some other substituted.
Mr.. Allen was quite docile, considering
the interests at stake, and only two or
three times did he override the umpire's
decision. MI. Boucher collided with
Shortstop Fallon in a mad dash for third
base, and tore a gaping rent in a pair Of
trousers, while Mr.. Fallon was quite
badly Jared up in the fracas.

and rode toward him, giving the i'm
preston that he was just coming from
town to the pasture. The owner of the
pasture stopped the owner Of the horse,
and began to censure him for allowing
his horse 30 much liberty, ending finally
by stating that the animal was in his
pasture at that very moment. The
owner of the horse, of course, denied it,
and offered to bet IS it wasn't. The
justice took up the bet, and they placed
the stakes under a rock at the side of
the road. Then they rode back to the
pasture, and the horse was standing
outside, just where his owner had left
him, when he had executed the flank
movement on the justice.
The owner of the pasture smelt a rat,
and he turned around and started
rapidly toward the rock, where the
stakes had been left. But the owner of
the horse considered he had won 'em,
even if by a little strategy, and he did
not propose to lose them. So there en-
sued a race for the inanlmate stake
holder, in which the owner of the horse
came out first heat, secured the swag
and rode off, inwardly commenting on
