THE UNITED STATES -C ADA WINS -A DESCRIPTION OF T CONTESTANTS.. .' A rowing mateh, second in no resp ct to any that has ever taken place oil t is . continent, and in some of its asp cts more important than any previous o e, came off on the Allegheny River, near Pittsburgh, last Thursday. The net re- sult of past contests between the pro- fessional oarsmen had been to so nar- row the stniggle for the. championship of America that very few additional matches were necessary to decide who the final holder would be. Practically the prize has for some time been regard- ed as certain to fell into the hands of either Alorris, who held the champion- ship -up till Th.ursday, Hanlon, who beat with great ease Ross and Plaided, or Courtney, who' has succeeded in establishing an excellent - reputation without having done much to guaran- tee it. Haialan's victory Thursday ober Morris, gives him the champions ip of the continent, with the prospect 4 a contest with Courtney before he will be allowed to retain it. 1 The morning of the race broke over Pittsburg very much as every morning does, black and murky, but 'one had only to run a few miles up the Allegheny to learn that it was in reality one of the brightest mornings of the season. Very early the turnpikes leading_ to ,Ilulton- and Harmersvilletwere swarming With wagons and freight vans of every kind, carrying supplies of lager beer, pop, lemonede, fruits, and other refresh- ments, and in an incredibly short time booths, tents, and uncovered enclosnres were springing up around the big bend on both sides of. the river.

At every point along either bank where anything like a view of the course could be obtained such crowds were that as- sembled at it is safe to say that not more than two-thirds of them could catch even_ a glimpse of the sculle1 s as' they ehot past. Many, however, jtook up their position on the face of the real range of hills that run along the n rth- west side of the river, and, these, though of courselgaireln.g a somewhat distant view of the contestants, saw very much more of the race -than those. who wedg- ed themselves into the immense crowds along the banks. All day the sun beat . down hotly into the valley of the Al- leghany, and in the afternoon a south wind blew great volumes of black Brooke and soot, which proved anything I but \velem*• visitors to the spectators, who had tin -lined out in their holiday attire.

But I don't know as I will ever have any use for them. I •soon found out that I was beaten, but I thought that I would keep you going and give you all the hard work I could." • "That you did," said Hanlon. "It's the hardest race I have ever had. • Hanlon was pulling a beautiful stroke, and looking as cool and fresh as if he had only been taking his regular after- noon paddle. " Pshaw," said Pat Luther, "Morris is no more than a baby with that man. ',He's a better man than George Brown ever was. He's the coolest man I ever saw pull a race." • _ At the stake boat Hanlon turnedwith good four lengths the best of it, and it was apparent that Morris had -shot his. bolt, from the fact that as they repassed the Gumbert Ilanlan was lead- ing by nearly seven lengths, and taking it easy, while Morris had his teeth set and was pulling as if for hie life. At Powers' Run, a mile and a third. from the finish, Hanlon led- by eight lengths, but as he struck the swift water the Pittsburgher closed open him so rapidly that his Mends began to cheer hastily. As soon, however, as Morris struck the swift water he ceased. to close up, and as Hanlan saw he had his man beaten he took it very easily, pull- . jug only about twenty-nine strokes to the minute, and frequently exchanging a friendly greeting with friends whom he happened to recognize on the bank. He even stopped two or three times to rest on his oars and wait for the big, fellow, who occasionally spirted to thirty-six per minute; but it was now apparent to the most' obstinate supporters of M,orris that the race was practically over; The Pittsburgher was evidently distressed, while Hanlon was looking as fresh and smiling as though it was only play for him. At the end of 4 miles he was leading by four lengths, and for the last mile he only pulled twenty- eight strokes to the minute, and even then be only- allowed his opponent to .close one length on him, for he finally passed his stake boat with three full lengths to the good. Official time 37 minutes. Some outside timers made it 36:30, but considering the stage of water at which the race was pulled, the time as officially announced is extreme- ly fast -at least so it, is considered here.

JOHN WATT. 548 McDEAR BROS., Pti $1.50 a Year, in Adv ce. ,ers. ever,,andthe reputation they brought was but local. It remained for Hanlon to give the rowing world a startling sur- prise at the Centennial regatta 'on the Schuylkill River, when his name be- came known on both sides of the At- lantic, threngh the ease with which he won the first prize in the professional regatta, defeated Harry Coulter, Pat Luther, Plaisted, and easily disposing of Alex. Brayley in the final heat, which was rowed in 21:9i -the best three- mile time on record until Courtney cut down the figures last year. In March, 1877 ,the Secretary of the Ontario Rowing Club forwarded to the Clipper office one hundred dollars in gold as.a, deposit for a proposed match between Hanlon and Billy Scharff. (then champion), to row three miles, for $1,000 a side, on To- ronto Bay; but as Schee had just made a match for EphMorris, the ehallengetrain the Canadian was not accepted. Hanlon. next appeared at the regatta held on Silver Lake, near Boston, Massachusetts, June aa, when he was defeated bY Fred. Plaisted, Frenchy Johnson, and others, he meet- ing -with a mishap in , the shape of an injured outrigger. On June 25th an- other regatta was held on the same water, when' Madan won first prize, beating Johnson and Driscoll, Plaisted not starting. The Kanuck next took part. in the sculler's race at the Boston Fourth -of -July regatta, and was ruled .out for fouling Plaisted, whom he ran into at the turning stake. His conduct upon this dccasion gave great offence to the regatta officials, who subse- quently passed a resolution. recom- mending that in future Hanlon be de- barred from participation in all races under municipal management. This action was, however, upon appeal from Hanlan himself, and through represen- tations of gentlemen who had taken him in hand after his return to Canadoe reconsidered, and the bar against hiM removed. _After the victory of Ross! over Brayley tu the fastest time on record for four Miles, the Toronto scut - ler published a challenge to Ross, whose backers • were hot prepared to talk business on this' basis. However, Wallace's defeat of Plaisted, coupled with the indifferent performances of and was visited by two or ;three Haulan at _Boston and. vicinity, inspired friends, with whom he- chatted gaily while he was being "rubbed down." He certainly did not hang, out any sig- nals of distress, ancl looked no more fa- in pretty sharp work the other half. When this pull was over he was pretty well through with his day's work, and after the necessary drying and hard rubbing he was, to use a horseman's ex- pression, "done up" for the night. He has usually been in the habit of going to bed about nine o'clock, sleeping very soundly from nine to ten houret The success of the mode of treatment thus roughly sketched is quite apparent fro Hanlan's splendid condition. He is drawn very fine without the slightest look of delicacy or thinness of blood. His lips, nails, and _ gums all show a a bright strong color,- and yet the most severe scrutiny would fail to reveal an ounce of superfluous flesh about him. • His skin is clear paid healthy -looking, and so completely have all the fatty tissues been reduced that his muscles stand. out so clean cut and well defined. that one could almost suppose he was looking st a man destitute of the cover - ilia provided b3 nature for his sinews slid muscles. there .with greater confidence, and • about the -Middle of August, Ross came out with a challenge to row any man in the Dominion-.

Colonel Shaw, Pat Luther; and a few more friends of Hanlon, occupied the judge's boat, which also carried a large number of -Pittburghere. Everything being in readiness, the men were started at six o'clock, Han- ka jumping away with a lead of half a length, and pulling 36 strokes per min- ute. Morris meant business, and fol- lowed closely, pulling a slightly quicker stroke. Harden steadily drew away from the big fellow, however, end by the time a mile was Completed he was lead- ing by three lengths. Morris now be- gan to realize the sort of man he had to deal with, and followed round the big bend:, pulling 39 strokes a minute in the swift water off Powers' Run, and 38 as he dropped into the slow.er current be- low it.

The Pittsburghers are loud in their praises of Hanla.n, and the boat race is the universal topic of conversation. THE BETTING. Many of the Toronto party not only. bet all their money but their watches on Hanlon, though some utterly refused to give the long odds that was necessary, to get a bet. The betting did not ma- terially -change after last night, and to- day; just before the start, there was very heavy pool -selling at $60 to $35 on Hanlan, which was e trifle longer odds than. was given last bight. 'Heavy pri- vate bets were made this foreefoon at $1,000 to $750 and $700. HANLAN . Edward Hanlon was born at Toronto, July 12, 1855, and. while quite -young was taken by his parents tO the Islend opposite the city, where his father open- ed an hotel, and whee the family have ever since resided. He is 5 feet 8`i inches in height, and weighed about 148' lbs. as he etepped into his boat. His first appearance in a rOce was made when he was 16 years of age, he form- ing one of a crew composed of fisher- men. In the folloviing year he figured as a successful competitor in a couple of skiff races, and in 1873 first rowed a race in a shell, the contest being for the amateur championship of the bay. He was again- -victorious, defeating Sam - Williams and. hIcKen, Next year he met Thomas Louden., referee in the presentrace, in a race for the champion- ship of Burlington Bay, this being his initial profesSional engagement. The result added another to his list of vic- tories. Louden challenged him •to row another race, over a mile course, for $100 a side, in. the summer of 1875, and they met on Toronto Bay, Hanka again showing hitaself to be the better man, he -winning by nearly two lengths. Dur- ing the sameseason he won a medalof- fered by the Governor-General, in a two -mile •pull at Toronto, defeating Louden and James Douglas. In the spring of last yearhe vanquished Doug- las and Wm. Mellen, and on August 12 following became possessed of the belt emblematic of the championship of Ontario offered by the Toronto Rowing Club, his only opponent being McICen. At this regatta Hanlan likewise won a fisherman's race, three pair of sculls, his partners being Mellon and A. Elliot, and the craft engaged being boats ac- tually in use that summer.
