Over the Course—At the Ouoy--On the
Home Streactf-4ne Result Ize.
So thoroughly disgusted were our citi
zens with the result of the iroposed race
between Hamill and Coulter, on the 7th
inst. that for a time all interest in aquat
ic sports appeared to have subsided
never to revive again. But the result of
the race, yesterday and incidents con
nected therewith would indicate the con
trary. The race of yesterday be
tween those gentlemen • and the
lair and impartial manner in
'which it was conducted has a strong
tendency to bring us back to the days
when boat-racing was honorable,
when aquatic sport was above par. and
cause us for the time to forget the numer
ous "fiascos," "fouls" and "sells" which
have taken place to the great disgust of
lovers of the sport i and the ciommunlty
in zenerali sines,Walter Brown made his
appearance on the waters. That a. fair
race can be' rowed was fully demon
strated.yesterday.
THE RACE.
The race yesterday was one of the moat
interesting • that has ever been pulled
over the Monongahela course, and the
result as a general thing the , moat satis
factory. All honest men felt and be
lieved that the racw.was a fair one, • and
those who had backed Hamill gave up
their money less reluctantly than they
would have done had their been any
claims of unfairness. The preliminary
arrangements for the race having alreidy
been published, we will pass over them to
- THE 'DAY.
A more favorable day for the race could
not have been asked for. except. perhaps,
the intense heat, Which rendered the trip
from the city to the , scene of the race a
little unpleasant, - particularly to those
who hadinterest enough in the matter,
(of whom there were a goodly number)
to make the trip on foot. Old Sol shoue
out in all his brilliancy, the prophecy of
the Kentucky "sleeping woman" to the
contrary notwithstanding, and scarcely a
ripple the smooth surface of
the river over; which the race was to
take place, save when some craft freight
ed with human beings coming to witness
the sport, ploughed through the placid
waters, disturbing them for a moment,
and again they settled into peacefulness.
THE CROWD.
So great was the interest manifested in
the contest that lopg before the hour for
starting, the banks on both aides of the
'river, from one end of the course to the
other, were covered with anxious specs.
tators. The river from• the city to the
course was dotted with craft of every
conceivable description, all conveying
persons to the race, and as early as two
o'clock the roads on both sides of the
river were -lined with carriages, bug
gies, wagons, and vehicles of every des•
cription, all loaded with living freight,
auct.theexcursion train on the Pats.
burgh and Connellsville Railroad, which
left toe city at three o'clock, carried hun
dreds more to swell' the crowd. Not
withstanding the vast number of per.
sons at the starting Peint on both sales
of the river, comparative order and gen
eral
good feeling prevailed. . . 1
THE. E} -CLING.
There was a. large amount of money
changed hands, the betting on the North
side of the river was spirited with odds
' of five to three on Hamill, all of which
were freely taken by Coulter's backers,
who, although they appeared to be in the
minority on tnat side of the river, were
well'supplied with money and took all
bets offered, showing a firm confidence
in the ability of their favorite to van
quish the ex-champion, and the result
shows how well they bad measured the
powers of the contestants. On the South
Side the betting was even. Hamill being
the favorite until after the start, when
Coulter's men became more sanguine
and-lt became necessary for them to of
fer odds on Coulter to get bets taken.

in company-with his wife and another

peared confident of success, and was not
more so than his wife, , who is a most
Pleasant rand agreeable lady. His weight
in rowing costume was one hundred and
fifty-eight pounds, and .he appeared the
very picture of health. In his boat-house
the most perfect order prevailed. Since
the last race, er "fiasco," Coulter has
been in constant training. which doubt
less accounts for his excellent condition
and healthfal appearance.
Hamill did not make his appearance
at his boat halm until about fouro'clock,
and in consequence or the crowd of loaf
ers assembles there, was compelled to
withdraw to the grove a short distance
off, where, he remained until the hour
for startinghad arrived. He has gained
one pound since the 7th inst., but was
in other respects in fine condition, hav
ing been in constant training since that
time. As usual, on such occasions, he
was nervous, and cross and a little oat of
humor, we suppose on account of having
to vacate his boat house, where a few
minutes before the time for starting, a
most disgraceful scene ocoured. A

kinds of craft, which were required to
move out of the way and leave the course
unobstructed, and the different steamers
took up positiorus -at either side of the

ill's friends, was now taken up by
Coulter's friends arid, combined with
the screaming of the boat whistles,
it was almost deafening. Before the
next three hundred yards had been
passed Coulter was fully four ' boat
lengths in advance of the ex-champion.
The betting at this stage became more
quiet, and there was an apparent decline
of Hamill stock.
From the time that the" 'contestants
passed Hamill's boat house, "about two
hundred yards from the starting point,

the winning man had t race in
his own hands, and knowing s advan

appeared to let up a little, d when

about one and a half miles om the

in advance, • At this ' , Tiohltl Jimmy
made one of his -best efforts, a ind suc

long, ' Steady strokes, steadily; gained
upon him and passed him dearly a
length. Before the buoy was reached,
however, Hamill, by a spurt, name up
with him and they turned their buoys
together. Coulter made the ,best turn
and before a hundred yards had been
placed between his boat and the buoy he
was leading Hamill nearly a boat's
length. From that point the race be
came most interesting although it was
quite evident that Coulter would win.
His stroke was the same he started with,
and he appeared as fresh as when we
saw him reclining upon his bed an hour
before the start, while Hamill, who per
sistently adheres to the abort stroke. was
not striking as rapidly as when he start
ed, was doing his "level beat," but
was gradually failing behind, neverthe
less, Coulter,continued to gain upon him
slowly until they hove in sight of the
starting point when he apparently let up
and allowed Jimmy to reduce the twelve
or fourteen lengths which separated
them to ten. in this position be passed
the score making the five miles in thirty
eight minutes and thirty seconds. Ham
ill came in thirty seconds behind.
THE CONOLDEON.
The referee announced, when Coulter
passtd the score, that the time was 37:50,
but so far as we could ascertain, made
no further decision. Hamill pulled up
to the score, and then turning, pulled
quietly to his boat house, when he an
nounced to his friends that he had been
fairly beaten. and ass consequence those
who had backed him or bet their money
on him, had lost fairly. • Coulter waited
only to hear the. referee announce the
time, then pulled to his boathouse, ap
parently as Ircati as he left it forty min-
utes before, where he was greeted by his
friends with enthusiastic cheers.
The crowd then began to disperse, and
it was not until that time that weihad
formed any true estimate of the vast con
course of people present.
INCIDENTS.
There were but few incidents °muting
outside of what we have already related,
worthy of note. The blackganrd, of
whom we had occasion to speak in an
other place. in consequence of his con
duct at Hamill's boat house, rowed over
to the opposite side of the river, and
after the race took o..alaion to say some
hard things about Hamill, and among
others alleging that he sold the race. A
friend of. Jimmy's bearing the charge,
very justly refuted it by knocking the
fellow in the river. He scrambled out
and drew a revolver and threatened to
shot the man who had so justly punish
ed him. An ofticer present took the ruf
fian In charge and kept bun until be
quieted down and then allowed him to
take his departure.

pany in keeping with their usual enter
prise in inch matters, located a tempor

point, and furnished our citizens with
bulletins of the race as it proceeded. So
perfect ' was the arrangements, that the
result of the race at different points
along the course, as well as the final re
sult was known -in the city as soon. as it
could be ascertained by the operator,
aided by a competent corps of assistants.

An Infuriated .1311110 M In West Newton
—Two Men !fatally Injured—Narrow
Escape ortThree
A. Most thrilling inbident occurred at
West Newton, on the' line of the Pitts
burgh, and .Connellsville • Railroad, yes
terday morning, by which the usually
quiet village was thrown into a state of
indescribable excitement, in come.
quence of the serious and perhaps fatal
injury of two respected citizens, and the
narrodv e.seape of several others.
It appears that a butcher residing in
the town bad purchased a bullock, which
be was driving to the &slighter house.
The animal proceeded quietly thromh
the streets of the town, until near the
slaughter pen, where, getting a scent of
blood, he became furious and unman
ageable. He first made a dart at the
butcher,'
who had been driving him, and
failing to catch him, rushed furiously
down the main - street of the town,' at
tacking every person and anything that
came in his way. While proceeding in
his mad course, he made an attack upon
a Mr. Icely, who happened to be cross
ing the street in-front of him, and strik
ing him with his sharp horns, gored
him in a most frightful manner,
tearing a portion of his lungs but,
and leaving nis heart exposed to view.
Another gentlemen, whose name we
could not ascertain, fared but little bet
ter, as he was caught between the head
of the infuriated animal 'and a fence and
I .completely crushed. The maddened
brute then made a dash at three ladies
who were standing in the door: of
a millinery establishment, who escaped
serious injury and perhaps death by
having presence of mind sufficient to
rush into the house and close the door.
The enraged animal rushed . on and in
his way was a projecting window filled
with millinery goods. Striking the win
dow with his head, it was torn down and
the goods, scattered in every direc
tion. The' animal then turned - his
attention to a gentleman on the
street, who, seeing his danger,
started to run for a place of safety,closely
pursued by his bullehip which was rap
idly gaining upon him. Just at this In
stant, however, when the beast was about
to lower his head to strike his victim, the
man fortunately struck his foot against a
stone and fell flat upon his face, and the
bullock passed over him and made a
dash for some one else. By this time a
number of citizens bad armed them
selveswlth rifles, and after shooting the
animal seven times succeeded in kill
ing him.
Tha injured men received proper med
ical attention, but na hopes are enter
tained for the recovery of either of them.
Hostetter's Stomach Hitters.
The time was, many years ago, when
it was doubtful whether "Ilostetter's
Bitters" were anything more or bet
ter than scores of other prepara
tions that were placarded over the
country, and after an ephemeral ex
istence sunk into merited oblivion.
Hostetter's remarkable preparation was
found to possess all the preventive and
curative virtues claimed for it, and the
consumption and demand have steadily
and constantly increased until thew is
scarcely a city or town throughout chris
tend= in which it is not known and ex
tensively used. The proprietors, Megan.
Hostetter and Smith, of this city, have
found it necessary from time to time to
enlarge their laboratory for its manufac
ture, until it has grown to be one of the
largest, Si it is one of the most complete
and perfect manufactories anywhere to
be found; it is kept constantly in opera
tion and the product is shipped off daily
in all directions, and to the remot
est haunts Ofcivilization. We have
Spoken of the great extent of the
establishment, and of its business. The
firm is further distinguished throughtout
its vast correspondence for the perfect
order and system, every where observ
able, as well as for regularity and recti
tude in all Its dealings. We are happy
to know that these qualities and charac
teristics have been crowned with their
legimate reward In an abundant pros
parity, and that much of the wealth
gathered from a long and successful
"minding of their own business" is made
active and useful for the public,
as well
as their private good, by liberal invest
ments in the public institution and im
provementa calculated to advance the ma
terial prosperity of Pittsburgh.
""Much Ado. Am."
Monday afternoon, two prominent cit
izens of Allegheny.' started on a trip to
the Southwest. At Cincinnati they fell
into the hands of the Philistines, or rath
er the Chief of Police, who exhibited a
dispatch dated Pittsburgh, authoriz
ing their detention for passing counter_
felt money. The ticket agent at the de
pot here, who was not acquainted with
them, alleged they had passed upon
him in purchasing tickets, a counterfeit
fifty dollar greenback. To say they were
indignant, would be to draw it mild, hut
there was no help for it and they had to
submit, until the matter could be
explained. The agent went on Tues
day night, and tne twain by this
time have doubtless ^shaken the dust
of Cincinnati off their feet and pro
ceeded on their journey. The affair is
regarded an an excellent joke by their
acquaintances here. They are both
among Allegheny's - most substantial
business men, and to be regarded as sus
pected criminals and have descriptions
of them telegraphed to all the little way
stations between here and Cincinnati,
and be looked upon auspiciously by , even
the little train boys, and to be gloated
over as richprizes by the • ardent detec
tives, certainly was a little too l'aggrawa•

arose out of a mistake which wee easily

;his assailant. He says -he would, have
succeeded had not McCiarren picked up
a huge hemmer, and with swill and un
erring aim sent it flying after his quickly
retreating, form. That floored him, and
left an exceedingly tender spot on the
back of his head that was not there be
fore. The pleasant, but somewhat ex•
citing little episode attracted the atten
tion of the "boss," who learned the cir
cumstances and promptly dispensed
with the further services of the parties.
Hinton then wended his way to Alder
men littoMasters' office and made infor
mation against MeCiarren,chhrging him
with aggravated assault and battery.

Conflicting Interests.
It is not well generallr for two fami-
Iles to fume possessionrof one yard in
coirmlon...'4eaerally such a possesion
has the effect of disturbing the harmony
of neighboily feeling which should exist
between families living in the vicinity of
each other. A melancholy instance of
this fact occurred yesterday and was de
veloped- at. Alderman Bolsters office.
Mrs. Margeret Moulder, and Francis and
Elizabeth•Depper were the unhappy vic
tims of a strife engendered solely from
this situation of affairs. They live in ad
joining houses but use in common the
same yard. As might nava been expected,
a conflict of interest resulted and could
not be settled. The disagreement seems to
have proceeded beyond the bounds of pro
priety, as Mrs. Moulder in relating the
circumstance to Alderman Bolster die.
• tinctly averred that the Peppers indi
vidually and collectively had wounded
her feelings to such an extent that noth
ing but "the liw" would serve as a balm.
She was accommodated. • The Peppers
were arrested and a council of war held ,
at the headquarters of Justice. Peace
was the result, which was achieved by
a slight diminution of the ready cash
held by the parties.
The Revellers
The drat customers who dropped in at
Munster's cigar store, Butchers... Run,
Seventh ward, Allegheny, yesterday
morning, were two young men, who
were returning to the city about six
o'cicck in the morning from.a moonlight
picnic,4iven at West View. on the road
to Perrysville. The young men it is al-,
leged, were in a somewhat festive mood,
and after purchasing a few cigars they
playfully attacked the proprietor of the
store and his wife, creating considerable
disturbance hi the establiehmedt, and it
is said, leaving their victims with several
painful remembrances of their visit.
Later in the day. Mrs. Menster made
information against two young gen
tlemen for assault and battery. They
were arrested, bat at the hearing last
evening, the prosecutrix failed to iden
tify them, and they were discharged.
The guilty young revellers are still at
liberty.
Supplementary.
We have spoken elsewhere in to•days
Issue of the extent and character of the
business prosecuted in this city, by the
eminent home of Hostetter at Smith. It
Is due to the advertising press generally,
to Fay thltt the firm has been among its
most liberal patrons, and - ascribes to
their extensive and systematic use of
some twelve hundred popular journals
of the country, a large share in diffusing
a knowledge of - their address and busi
ness. They do not limit their use of
printers ink to the newspapers, but em
ploy a number of job work presses in
printing immense editions of their ele.
gaut almanacs, of which we understand,
several millions are circulated annually,
in which department, as in the labora
tory and every other department of their
business, everything is under careful
and skillful supervision of experienced
overseers.
For the Penitentiary.
Among the youthful candidates for the
Panitentlary,—and we are sorry to ob
serve that there are a few of these aspi-
rants among our juvenile population,—
the lad who yesterday perpetrated the
robbery at Ilespenheide's store. Sixth
Avenue, occupies a promising position.
The smart boy came into the store to
get a pair of pants for another peliton.
The clerk went tip stairs to get them,
leaving him alone in the store. He im
proved the opportunity to unlock the
money drawer behind the counter, ab
stract fifty dollars therefrom, look it up,
and resume his former position at the
counter before , the clerk's return. The
• robbery was not discovered until a short
time after his departure, when a search,
was made for him. He was not fotind,,
but is well known and Will doubtless be,
secured today. . _ '

WOMEN in Austria preform the duties
of bricklayers laborers, and may be seen
carying hods of mortar and baskets of
bricks up high ladders. More than this,
they actually supply the place of navies,
and dig and wheel barrows of "ballasit"
almost as nimbly as their lords. They
chop wood, they carry water,' they offer
to black your boots in the reets, and
preform many other little offices which,
according to our notions hardly come un
der the denomination of "woman's work"
Perhaps this state of things is un
avodiable in a country where it is consi
dered necessary to keep a standing army
of 800,000 men, The womem work
inordinately hard, while hundreds of
idle men are constantly sauntering about
in various uniforms, doing nothing at all
except perhaps blowing a cloud ,of
tobacco smoke.
