THi: LAC HI HE RACE.
The following account of the interna
tional boat race at Laehine, Canada is from
the New York Tribune :
At .r>: 10, amid great applause, the two crew*
rowed up to the starting point. The St. John
men first disrobed, partially stripping to a neat
uniform of scarlet. The Tyne ercw were in
flesh color. The contrast in the appearance
of the crew was marked ; the St. John men
were slander in comparison with the round and
chubby Tyne, but made up in length their de
ficiency in thickness. At 5; 17, amid breath
less excitement, the starting-gun was fired,
aud both crews gave way.
The Tyne men pulled very far hack with a
more natural stroke than the St. John. The
latter ptilleil to their perpendicular and
stopped; then gave the next stroke quick as
thought. For the first 200 yards they rowed
together; then the Tyne boat crept ahead.
This was the .39 strokes per minute for the
Tyne men and 44 for the St. John, and as the
former gained, the star of St. John was in the
descendant. At this time. too. a fresh breeze,
almost a squall, struck the water ahead of the
boats, and made it exceedingly difficult pull
ing. This was just the mishap the St. John
crew deprecated in advance. Fulton, their
stroke, a day or two before the race, declared
that in rough water it would he no fair test of
the relative abilities of the crews, and here
in five minutes’ time the water, from the effect
of this most inopportune breeze, began dancing
and splashing in a way most uncomfortable
j for the light shells of the crews. They plucki
; ly held on, however, though as the breezo
j struck the Paris crew it required little stretch
| of the imagination to observe the expression
! of distrust ution Fulton's sedate countenance.
The Tyne men did not mind it so much, as
their slower stroke made it easier for them
than for the othere to row in the wind, and
they pulled on out at sea.
(iff in the dim distance rowed the crews,
followed by the straining eyes of the multitnde,
and fiehl-glasses, opera-glasses, and telescopes
innumerable, to the last limit of vision. Tho
Tyne men held their advantage. Owing to
the very imperfect arrangements made by the
manager, there were no facilities extended to
representatives of the press for following up
the race, the small tug of Mr. Allen being the
only steamer to follow thelioats, and the state
of the crews at different points in the race
had to be ascertained from persons stationed
along the shore. At Stony Point, half a mile
from the start, the Tyne boat was some 80
yards in advance, with a stroke of 39, St.
Johns settling down at 42. and both pulling
splendidly. At one and three-quarter miles
the Tynes were 130 yards ahead, and turned
the stake-boat, three miles distant, about 200
yards in advance. Here the Tynes turned
well, but held a little on the start backward.
St. Johns had lessened the gap somewhat
when it started on the home stretch, but the
steady sweep of the Tyne men kept them well
ahead, pulling at 38 per minut , the St. Johns
rowing at 40.
While the boats were out of the limit of dis
tinct vision, at the starting-point, where tho
vast multitude were assembled and the excite
ment was eager, those who had money in tho
St. John crew wanted to hedge, anil those
who had it on the Tyne crew didn’t object to
going more where they could Hud takers. As
the boats on the homc-stretch began to come
in sight, the interest grew more intense, and
many of the knowing ones witli field-glasses
declared that the St. John men were ahead.
These were critical and dangerous moments
with betters, and a man's money was won or
lost in a few seconds. As the crews began to
be visible through the glasses, the rumor ran
through the crowds the Tyne’s are ahead, and
so it proved.
Nearer and nearer drew the boats, and at
last amid the cheers of thousands the Tynes
rowed down the course between the steamers,
and passed the stake in 40 minutes 59 3-4 sec
onds according to one authority, according to
another in 39 minutes 14 seconds. It reflects
very seriously upon the management of this
race that there was no such thing as official
time taken. The St. John men rowed pluek
ily, about 12 lengths behind, spurting up to 47
strokes per minute, the Tynes doing 42 at the
finish.
Tlius closed the race. The sympathies of
the larger portion of the crowd were with tho
St. John men. as might have been expected;
but the victors received the heartiest congrat
ulations, and the best of feeling prevailed.
It is greatly to tic regretted that the course
was not smooth, as the St. John crew particu
larly desired the race in smooth water, and
cannot feel dissatisfied with the race as it took
place. Still, though it may be humiliating to
American pride to confess it, the truth un
doubtedly is, that the Tyne crew were much
the stronger men, and would probably have
won in any case.
The Prussians, it is now reported, will not
recognize the republic in France.
The Acting Commissioner of Internal Rev
enue authorizes a denial of the statement that
the sureties on the official bond of Mr. Bailey,
the defaulting Internal Revenue Collector of
New York, will not be made to sutler. Bailey
has been presented by the Grand Jury on the
charge of embezzling 8131.0O0 of government
money and suit brought against the sureties
named on his bond to recover the amount of
the government’s loss, and the case will 'be
prosecuted to the extent of the law.
