aroase enthusiasm inpeopje who have seen Ilanlan will in astyift that seemed to stamp him a different clay from his felloTrs who hrrre teen teach who defeated Hanlan send such an oarsman as Gaudaur to the rear who have seen champions almost without number rise and fall Still people who hare seen all this look forward to the UConnor Seirle race with as much entbusiaim as It championship races on the Thames occurred but once iti fifty years Four days ajro the betting was 15 to 10 on Searle and for thirty minutes the odds ruled to 4 in Searles favor Tese odds were too big to suit the Australians whose pockets were lined with gold They were too small to suit the Canadians The ratter wanted 2 to 1 but the odda gradually grew smaller until to day they ranished and even money was the cry The change in betting can be accounted for in two ways Searle was the best man in the world to hia backers until they saw the confidence of OConnors backers in their man This told men who never bet on sentiment that per hflis there was more than one wonder in the aquatic world The start is It mutual consent To a start OConnor is not accustomed lie is a quick starter to a pistol shot and which moans to get away but of what use to him are his quick starting powers when he is com iwlled to wait until his competitor is ready to go He wanted a pistol shot pr word of mouth start but was overtimed his representatives being greatly ln the minority at the meeting at which the preliminaries were agreed uiMjii Then too OConnor has never rowed upon tide waters All his races have betn rowed upon still water fc earle is at home on tide water 1 a race between men who in strtTgth and skill are evenly matched thise drawbacks should count in the Uttine but they have fiiled to do so and to night the indications are that liVoiimirwill be the favorite before the men are ent on their journey Of fofir and ouehalf miles The race will be rowed on what is known asadead tide It will be dead only in comparison with the spring tide which has a current of from tour five miles an hour Tomorrows tide will run At the rate of about three miles an hour Watermen who have for weeks been laokins at toth men in practice expect the winner to make wonderful time 1 hv fastest time ever made on the championship course was ruade a few year aso bv Charles lirightly who tovercd it in something over twenty two minutes with the aid of fast tide It iscxpected that to morrows winner wil cross the tinish on a dead tide in ede of twenty three minutes In the race each man will be accom jMiiied by one of the London rowing clubs fait twelve oared boats Each lvat will 1 manned by experienced watermen It was supposed tnat eight oared cutters would be sufficient to flow the way that is seven men at the oars snd a guide commonly known the man who takes him up but this proved to be a mistake fcucha juttcr crew went out with OConnor one day it contained Wallace ltoss ieirse Lee Charles John and Tom Mbson Babear and Bill East The cutter erew laid down to its work as soon as OConnor straightened out The man in the bow yelled to his crew to put beef into their strokes They i I so and yelled for more coal until every furnace was red hot hut all to tio purpose The single oared sculler fcent away with every stroke and it Has demonstrated on the spot that even oarsmen couldnt carry a guide snd coxswain as dead weight and show the way to the champion of America Both sides are in doubt Each thinks tlat his man has a chance to win and that about describes tne situation Most of the Australians have bet their money excepting that one party carried about 7000 that has been placed or very nearly so Edwin Gee carries about 10000 which he was commis sioned to wager by Spencer Brothers of Australia lie is waiting for better terms Last night both Searle and OConnor were in splendid health and fine spirits Bearle weighed 153 pounds in his bare pelt OConnor weighed one pound lighter and none of bis friends would hive grumbled had he weighed four or five pounds more The men are to be in thsir boats at 115 Only four steam vessels will be permitted to follow the race A heavy crop of ehalenges is Tiket la follow todays Tictory and defeat George Babear is first in the field He will to nvoTrow challenge XeUWatier on to race over the championship course for XX a tide lie has the challenge in his pocket to night ItKTTlXO IX SEW XOKK The Scullers Who tTlll Compete for the Championship The coprse which OConnor anil Searle will row to day is the championship course The start is made a little above Putney bridge and the finish is at Mortlake The championship race is always a straightaway one without a turn as in the usual American championship races The course is a tidal one aud all championship races are rowed on tne flood so that the contest to day between two of the fastest oars men the world has ever seen should result in a lowering of the records Considerable stress has been laid On the fact that OConnor will use a boat made by lluddick th celebrated Bos ton builder while Searle will to a sheHdiuilt hy Clasper the well known English maker English boats are de spised by American oarsmen in this country but rowing on the Thames which is a narrow stream full of eddies and currents is a very different thing to rowing on American lakes The Ruddick shell used by OConnor is almost identical in rig and beam with the boats used by Hanlan Its dimensions are Length 31 feet beam 11 i inches depth hi inches spread of outriggeis 51 inches dis tance from bottom of boat to top of seat 5K inches from heelcups to pins lOJi inches The rie of Searles boat is patterned after that of fteach the Australian champion who rowed down Hanlan Gaudaur and Teenier and won the worlds championship by a scries of brilliant victories The dimensions of Searles boat are 31 feet long 11j inches beam height of seat from bottom of boat inches height of rowlocks 12 inches spread of outriggers 5ti4 inches Both oarsmen are about the same height five feet ten inches and row at about 1C5 pounds but while their measurements appear nearly alike the Australian possesses the more rugged constitution and is the more powerful in every respect He has not only phenomenal speed but is regarded by Hanlan who has good reason to be able to judge of his powers as a great stayer Both oarsmen however claim that the long course is in their favor Ilanlan who knows both men inti mately thinks that three miles suits OConnor better than a longer course and that the reverse is true of Searle In le iters to confidential triendsin this city OConnor has stated that Searle was a much better man than he expected to meet when he sailed from America The race is for 2300 a side Boulangef Enveloped

them have protested against their names appearing oh the list of candidates whom BouUnger specially recom mends to his supporters This is sig nificant The men who yesterday sought Boulangera patronage and repudiated it to day have evidently come to their opinion after carefully studying the public sentiment of the country and sounding the ground they are to tread at the election That popularity which the chief of the National party en ioyed for a period has vanished1 into thin air Boulanger himself cannot but see that his star is waning even if it has hot already ceased to twinkle If he is not willfully blind he must see that his flight the revelations of the High Court trial and his persistent refusal or inability to clear himself of the stains upon his honor have done him no slight damage throughout the country The letter he wrote a few days ago to MTirard was evidently intended to provoke a reaction of public opinion in his favor It completely failed in its effect however from several causes Firstly it came too late Then Bou langer has since his condemnation repeatedly declared that he would have no other judge than the nation Now that he asserts his readiness to appear before courtmartiaL it looks as if he bad less confidence than heretofore in the judgment oi the nation Furthermore Boulanger most have been aware that the hands of the Go verhmen were tied so uch that it could not even if it so desired ignore the verdict of the high court and appoint another tribunal to try the cose Taken altogether Boulangera letter is not worthy of serious consideration The brave General has no desire to return to France before the elections to expose himself to the divers personal inconveniences which await him when he sets foot on French soil All he wanted was to persuade the simple souls among his coherents that be was bumingvwith a desire to clear himself and that the Government refused to give hint a chance of doing so The fact that he has recourse to this elec tion dodge proves that he believes his position to be anything but a good one and that his chances of success are daily diminishing The Bishop of Marseilles has issued a formal protest against the circular recently issued by the Minister of Jus tice in which the Minister reminded the clergy thafthcy are prohibited by law from taking part in the elections The Bishop affirms the rights of

of Henry IL Davis at 420 A California street last Thursday after noon and giving a hitch to his trousers Inquired for the attorney When he had gained an audience with Mr Dans he unfolded a tale which suggested to the incredulous attorney that a man with a brilliant imagination was before him It was Jacob Wilspri Jr of Jfew Vorkwho told thestoryi and he wanted legal assistance in recover Ing bis share of a very valuable estate out of which he said he had been defrauded Ills story of the conspiracy of which he was the victim sounded like a romance His father he said was Jacob Wil sonw a prominent New York real estate dealer who died in May 1885 leaving an estate valued at SLOOOQOX Half of this amount Was to go to his widow and tha remainder to be divided be tween bis two sons one of whom was Jacob the relator of the story He said that the friends of his wife Mary A Wilson entered nto a conspiracy to cheat him out of his share of the estate They got him to visit a disreputable house where he became intoxicated and unwittingly signed his share of tne property to his wife who in turn received a divorce on theground of adultery He was then persuaded hy John Hudson the lawyer to go to Auv trada to learn the leather business with the understanding that he was to receive a remittance of 500 and 50 a month thereafter He had a letter of introduction from Almet Jenks Corporation Counsel of Kines county and receiver of the estate to Lockman of Melbourne agent for ft big New York leather bouse who it was stated would find him a position He was given a ticket to Melbourne and a small amount of ready money He left New YorkDecember 12th last and journeyed by why of San Francisco to Melbourne arriving there on April 10th of this year He told his story to Jlr Lock man who not only told him that be had no place for him but that he bad evidently been sent to Australia to get hint out of the way The failure of his remittances to arriye and letters from friends at home soon convinced him that this was the case and he determined to return to America and demand the rights of which he had been defrauded For several months he lived in a hind to mouth fashion and onthe 22d of Jiine last took passage on the ship Aristomane worklhg bis way fis a sailor before the mast and arriving in this city on the 17th of August When he arrived here he had only a few dol lars anil these were soon gone He ended his interview by striking the attorney for a dollar Mr Davis was quite of the opinion that he had been listening to a fairy tale but the story Was told with so much detail and so many references were given that he concluded to investigate the case and yielded up the dollar The mans conversation showed intelligence and he said that he had been educated for the law and was a graduate of Columbia College It was learned that be had established headquarters at a down town saloon where he had struck upanac quaintance and where when be had imbibed a few drinks he would occa nonafly proclaim that he belonged to one of the hrst families of New York and was on the track of an immense fortane of which he had been defrauded He disjilayed quite a liking for beer and gave few outward evidences of a lormer briiljint social career His expression was rather in telligent bat his beauty of features was somewhat marred by an injury to his nose received at some time in his life Mr Davis wrote to several law firms and other sources of information in New York and Brooklyn and proceeded to await derelopinentsi The interesting story secured by the Cheos icxx7S New York correspondent last night both modifies and extends young Jacobs story considerably but shows that it was not altogether a fairy talo that the picturesque wreck related in the attorneys private office of one of his fathers tenants a Miss Kate whose father was a saloon keeper on South street but she having many sailors and being a girl most comely in appearance laughed at Jacobs suit In desperation after a long appeal on bended knee acob drew a pistol and shot himself ills Injury was slight The girl tailed the ambulance and Jacob went to the hospital There his father called oh him and learning the cause of his sons venture on his life declared that bis boy should bare the girt Thii decision was led to partly by desire of the father to see his son straighten op in matrimony and also that he might hare the boy out ofthe way of his housekeeping niece The girl told the old man that her opposition to Jacob Was because of bis inability to support her This objection the old man said he would do away with by settling 1500 a year on them for life and giving her a bonus of 115000 to take his son off bis bands Keen to appreciate the offer Miss Kate married the unhandsome thriftless Jacob and they went to live on the tatbrir tountry Jace Infew Jersey LilScathecJd man died HiswiU left the estate for life to his son Jacob then to revert to the testators brothers When application was made for probating the will the house keeper formerly Miss Shea appeared and established a marriage with the old man about a year before bis death Notwithstanding 4he late ness Of the ceremony Mrs Wilsonbore him two children the last one coming ten days before the death of her hus band The will having been made I before the marriage It was broken The young wife came1 in for a dower right and her young children for their share of the estate This left Jacob with but a one third interest in the estate of 150000 Jacob oh persuasion of his wife transferred through the medium of a lawyers clerk bis share and all possible ihtere to bis wife She then be gaa harassing the estate having atone time as her attorney the present secretary of the Navy Tracy To wipe out all legal trouble which was eating up the estate a compromise was come to by which Jacobs interest was fixed at fiOOOO and that in property and money was piven to Mrs Wilson Jr in full settlement of alt clilms Then came the peffidy of young Jacobs wife Hardly had she got bis assignment of the claim into her hands when she threw him out of doors and he sunk even lower than before fre quenting the Bowery 15 cent lodging houses and picking up stray meals at saloon counters It was the agreement of Mrs Jacob Wilson Jr when she obtained her husbands interest to di vide with him or to secure to him one half obtained out of the estate This she never has done and Jlr Roderick who is the attorney for the estate says that there is no doubt that she has de frauded her husband As soon as Jakes wLe got hold of the 140000 she sued for adrroreeon the ground Of adultery She bad plenty of evidence and won her suit and turned poor Jake loose with a small fund of a few hundred dollars Which he soon spent He was threatening to bring suit against his wife for fraud when she induced him to give her a juit claim and then shipped him on a sailing vessel to San Francisco promising that he
