The Koss-Smith Race. THE START.
At 5.59 the Referee gave the word ‘‘go” and both boats bounded forward with tre- mendous speed, Ross pniling: 36 to the minute and Smith 53. ¢
Ross took first water for at least 700 yards. ‘The wildest enthusiasm prevailed among people on shore, and as the boats sped along the course it increased and be- came more intense. Ross promised to lead from the start, and he fulfilled his. promise.
At the Tanyard Wharf he was fully one length ahead, pulling 33 sweeping strokes and steering much better than Smith, who had gone a great deal too far twards the shore and several lengths out of his course, tlius giving Ross a decided advantage which the latter was not slow in makiny the most of. Both men now settled down to solid werk, Ross atan average of 35 strokes. Ross gained perceptibly until off the Convent, when Smith’s friends gave a treinendous cheer which seemed to impel
him to a new effort, for in response to it |
he put on
THREE SUCCESSIVE MAGNIFICENT SPURTS, rowing thirty-six strokes to the minute, until he was neck and neck with his power-
| ful antagonist.
By this time Smith had pulled into line and was rowing a straight course, his strong sweeping strokes giving him decided ad- vantage. A minute later he was fully a length ahead and then settled to a stroke of thirty-five to the minute. He appeared to sitin his seat more easily and worked more freely than’ Ross, and rowing ina magnificent form. Ross was pulling a slower but a more powerful stroke than Smith, and did not appear to have so com- plete a command of his oars. He doubtless re- lied on his repeatedly expressed theory that he was going to row Smith down, pump him, ete., but he was deceived in the man.
SMITH HAD OBTAINED THE LEAD,
and from that moment had the race in his own hands. He gained steadily and the most strenuous efforts to lessen the gap on the part of Ross were unsuccessful When off the Four Mile House the cheering was most enthusiastic. Ross spurted for three or four boat lengths, but this had no effect on Smith, who replied by slightly increas- ing his stroke. When nearing Smith’s quarters both men steered straight for the turning boats, and a terrible struggle com- menced, in which Smith showed himself best man, Ross was already rowed down, and his friends on the Referee’s boat ad- mitted it.
Smith turned his boat at 5.59. He made a beautiful turn, pulling 11 strokes and straightened for home before Ross com- menced to turn, being fully 3 lengths ahead. Mr. Dolphin expressed the opinion that
ROSS WAS ROWED OUT.
A tremendueus cheer was given for Smith when on the home stretch; and when off his quarters Smith led by five lengths At this point Ross put on a mag- nificent spurt, and made a desperate effort to diminish the distance,but it was futile,for Smith was master of the course.
Ross now settled down to 30 strokes, and had evidently lost heart. Smith also lessened his stroke, and allowed Ross to gain on him until only a couple of boat lengths separated them.
Off the. Four Mile House the cheering was perfectly deafening, and Ross, looked over his shoulder and put on another spurt, pulling 35 strokes in magnificent form for 3 boat lengths, but the open water between the two shells was impassible.
As they neared the finishing boats, Smith lessened his speed and kept about a length ahead of hisopponent. The wildest excite- ment prevailed as
SMITH CROSSED INTO ROSS’ WATER,
and many of his friends feared a foul, but the only reply Warren returned to the -shouts of his friends was to give a couple of extra strokes. Warren passed the winning
boat a length and a half ahead, amid the
deafening cheers of his friends. THE TIME IS OFFICIALLY STATED
by the Referee as 21 minutes and 8 1-2 seconds.
Smith could easily have won by ten lengths if he had been so disposed, as was acknowledged by Mr. Barney Brennan.
DR. DEVEBER
also expressed the opinion that Smith could beat Ross every day in the week.
At the conclusion Smith rowed over to Ross and shook hands, which was the signal for another outburst of enthusiasm. Smith rowed over to nis float afd was shortly afterwards taken to his quarters.
Ross then rowed over to his quarters, where he was received with great enthiusi- asm.
The defeated oarsman and his New Brunswick supporters took their defeat in amanful way. They frankly acknowledged Simith to be the best man, and that he had squarely and honestly defeated Ress. They speak highly of the treatment received from the Halifax Rowing Association and from Haligonians generally, and return ‘home freely acknowledging the supremacy of Halifax in single sculls.
THE BETTING.
The betting for the last week has been very dull, as nearly all the money that Ross’ friend were prepared to put up had been staked. Some few bets, however, were made on Monday:, and. some were ex- ceedingly foolish ones. For instance, one
lenthusiastic svpporter of Ross waged $2
. 3, 1879. NO. 89.
ee SOS NST A
| that his favorite would turn the stake-boat | first and be four lengths ahead on the home istretch when he would meet Smith going jup. This man now regrets his folly. This, |however, was hardly excelled by certain Haligonians who bet heavily on the New Brunswicker. Ross’ asked lheavy odds, which Smith’s friends! Were by no means prepared to give. The largest i bet reperted on Monday was for 2300 even jon Smitu, aadeon the referee’s boat be- |tween a prominent member of the Halifax Rowing Association and a St. Jolin man. Several other smaller bets were reported. The ameunt that has changed hands is estimated at $20,000, by those who arein a position to judge pretty accurately. The deposits with the Halifax Hotel, and Lowell &'Co., amount to $10,000, and sev- eral hotels and brokers hold smaller sums.

The WUanlan-Courtney Match.
supporters
Toronto, Sept. 1 —Three or four weeks age it was reported that negotiations were in progress for a race between Kdward Hanlan and Charles E, Courtney, of Union Springs, ejther at Saratoga or on Lake Chautanguay. The same offer was made by parties treating for each place, namely, that they would hang up a purse of $5,000 for the winner te take. Seeing that there was nothing to chcoze between the proposi- tions, the advisers of the Champion, (and it is tobe presumed the men acting for Courtney did the same,) stated: they were willing to except either if the money was increased. Finally the Lake Chautauguay parties threw in another $1,000 bringing the purse up to a corresponding amount with that given last year by Montreal. Tel- egrains and communications continued to pass between all the people interested until at last Mr. J. H. Brister, of Auburn, New York, the bird of ill-omen, who partly ac- ted for Courtney last year, appeared in Toronto on Wednesday and signified the terms upon which his man was willing to accept, which being agreeable to Hanlan and his: friends, a match was arranged “to take place on Lake Chautauguay, Friday, Oct. Sd, the anniversary of the day on which the Lachine race was set for children. This, though not efficial, is based ‘on good authority. The%prime movers in the affair forgetting that''secrecy begets suspicion, and unmindful of their experience sitite last fall’s-race, have kept matters much to themselves, and when spoken to have re- fused to divulge ; always, however, vaguely promising that when there was anything to tell the public, the press should ,be in- formed. It might be well to state that the authority, although indirect, for the infor- mation that a match has been made, is the champion himself. Replying to a stranger who asked him in his boat house, on Satur- day, when ‘he was going to row his next race, Hanlan replied, ‘On Oct. 3rd, on Lake Chautauguay,” with Courtney. ,
LATER.
New Yor«, Sept. 1.—Couriney tele- graphs to-day that no arrangement has been concluded for a race with Hanlan, but something definite will be known in a few days.
Arrested on a Serious Charge.
About the 10th ult., Mr. Joseph Stock- ford, an old man 74 years of age, a resident of Hardwood Ridge, Northfield, Sunbury Co., N. B., received a terrible beating at the hands wf Robert Betts; hog reeve of the Parish, from which he died in a few days afterwards. The particulars of the assault were stated as follows in the Nev's of the 20th ult :—
“Mr. Stockford got into an altercation with ene Robert Betts, the hog reeve of the Parish, concerning hogs running at large. The men w@re at the time in the school house of the neighborhood. Angry words followed, and at length blows were struck, after which a desperate struggle ensued. Steckford, who was a _ one - armed man, was overcome by Betts, who struck him to the fioor of the school house, afterwards jumping upon and kicking him in the lower part of the abdomen in the most brutal and revolting manner. Stock- ferd' was then dragged about the room by the hair of his head and otherwise brutally maltreated. Betts made his escape: to the woods in the vicinity, where he still re- mains.”
An inquest was afterwards held on the remains, and the jury returned a verdict to effect that Mr. Stockford came to his death by bodily injuries wilfully inflicted by the said Betts. Warrants were at once issued fof the arrest of Betts, but he eluded the grasp of the law by taking refuge in the woods. Ue was arrested on Saturday, and confined to jail to await examination.
We are glad to learn that the trouble be- tween the Company and the Miners at Spring Hill, N.S., has been satisfactorily arranged, and that work was resumed on Saturday. The men receive an advance in pay of three cents per box over former prices, or six cents over the reduction pro- posed by the Company. The men will move back into the Cumpany’s houses.
