The second nud last day of the regatta of tho'National As- soclation of Amateur Oarsmen opoaed with good weather , smooth walor , a clear course mid everything essential to good racing. The Interest today was intensified by the fact that It was the last day of the regatta , and the llmiU In the Junior and senior hlnglos were to bo rowed as well as the eight-oar burgo contest between the champion crows of the crack clubs of the country. Thu main /oaturo and In which the most Interest was centered was the last on the programme tbo eight-oared race by the At- nlantas , Yarunas , Fiilrmounts and Columbian. This was tbo most exciting race or the uay.Tho finishing was intensely Interesting and the time made shows that all crows spurted from the beginning to the end. No amateur record was broken , but the titno was good and the oarsmen say the meeting was the most suc cessful over hold. In thu linal boat In the senior singles Oaifroy of the Lawrence club of Massa chusetts lowered his own previous record , muilo lust summer , by seven seconds , uuu did It apparently without much effort. Sonic A'cry Nlcu Kaolin ; . The first race , the Junior singles , started promptly with four starters , i-Momlng and I'rico , Crescent club , of Hoaton , Wright of Toronto , and Berry of the 1'a.ssaic club. Wright led easily all the way , finishing win ner by six lengths from licrrv , second. Time : 10:10 : 1-.V , second , 10 : 7. There were llvo .starters la the race for tbo pair of oars : Ono from thu Argonaut club of Toronto , two from tha Alalanta uluh of Now York and two from the Now York club. At the word to go the llvo crews took the water simultaneously , Uio Atalnntas and Argonauts in the lead. The Dompsev Broth ers ( Atalantas ) then set the pace and led out by a length which they maintained to the end , with the Argonauts a close second. Tlmo : 10:12. : Four crows wcro In the race for the four- oared juniors : Arlington of Massachusetts , Neptune club of Baltimore , Ariel club of Baltimore and the I'otomao club of Washing ton. All pal off well together , and for the ilrst quarter the line of shells was unbroken except for nn instant or two when ono club would forgo ahead , only to drop buck again and resume its old position. At tbo mile the boats were within one length of each other , and all going vcr3' fast , the Arlingtotis loading , with the Ariel club of Baltimore close up. The ArlngiODs ! tried hard to shako off the Baltimore boys , but they hung out tenaciously. At the mile and a quarter , how ever , thn Arlinetons opened up the distance on the Artels and soon had two boat lengths between them. ThoNeptuncsnow braced up , carne up fast and closed on the Ariols , and in the last quarter it looked very much as If they would land winner , but the Ariels kept on and caino over the line thrco lengths behind - hind the Arllngtons , and two loneths ahead of the Noptunes , Potomac last. Time : 0:11 for the winner and 9-'i : for the second bunt. Tli roc Men of Insole. The senior singles brought three men to the start , all very fast , Hlggins , Caffroy and Hedloy , each ono of whom won in their re spective heats yesterday. Caffrey wont off ifrst , but Hedloy spurted and soon bad him on oven terms. All the men wcro pulling well and in thole own water. Caffroy leading nt the half by a clear length , with Ilediov crawling up nud making tlio Lawrence man pull the race of his life. This continued dur ing the nuxtrquartcr , their relative positions remaining unchanged , with Higgins back in the ronr. Hedloy spurted in the last half , while Hlggins made _ a daring spurt in the stretch and landed 'second. Hedloy falling back. Time for the winner , 10:03 : ; for second , 10:0fi. : The next race was the finals in the double sculls. Four erew.s started : The Catlins of Chicago , Albanys of Now York , Vespers of Philadelphia and Varunas of BrooKlyn. The Albanys made a irood start , steering well and holding their course in gooa.shape , the Cat- hns immediately dropping behind , while the Varuuas and Vespers went after the Albany ruon. ruon.Tho Albanys sot a lively pace , however , and clearly outclassed their opponents from the start , apparently fueling confident that they wore out of the raco. The Vespers soon went wild and before they could regain their course tuo Varunas' shell Had a lead on them. They were not dis- couraqcd by this move , and soon had the Vnruna's crow abeam and were well on the course , steering easy nod rowing a mas terful stroke , full of snap and again recov ered second place , which they held to the Mulsh. Tlio pace was too hot for all save the Chicago ladswhocontinuod to fall hopelessly behind , and with the exception of this it was trie tlnest race of the day. The Albanys were never headed , Vespers socor.dwVnrunas third and the Catllns well to the rear. Time : SU7. : Ituuo of tlio Day. The racing closed with an eight oared race by the crows-of the Now York Athletic club , the Atnlantas.tho Fiilrmounts and Columbias of Washington. Much interest , was shown in this race by everyone. The champion Ata lantas had practiuilly the crow that won last year. The stnrtwas made promptly , with the umpire's boat well oohliul in a vain en deavor to keep up with the procession. Atalan- ta led by naif a leugth In twenty stroke. ) and Fairmount was on even terms. The Colum- bias caught a crab and fell olT. At tlio Ilrst half the Atalantas still led with the Now Yorkers pVosslng thorn hard. At the uillo there was no change except that the local crow had cut down the distance be tween it and the leaders by some lengths and was pulling a strong , oven stroke. All thn crows Journoycd on without changing posi tions till In the last quarter , when the Now York crew made a spurt aud by magnificent rowing crawled up on the loaders and crossed the line in front of the Atalantas , Columbia third and Fulrmouut in the van.

Dr. Mercer , from the com- mlttco on convention hall , reported that the committee had considered thu question of se curing or erecting a convention hull. An Auditorium Dp.slrcd. Ho said the commlttco had decided that it would Do bolter to erect n now auditorium than to offer the use of the Coliseum. The comlnlttco had looked nt vacant property conveniently located nnd upon which a suit able building could bo put up. The committee - too had proceeded upon the plan of purchas ing the necessary ground nnd deeding It to the city for public purposes and then to pro ceed with the erection of n largo auditorium to bo used for public gatherings. Tlio com- mlttoa had scoured llgurcs upon n building liKx'.MS feet , covering half n block , with brick walls twentv foot high , with n gallery nnd convenient committee rooms. The coat of such a building would bo about 505,000. This building would seat , 15,000 people. The committee favored the idea of erecting a building thi > t could bo used for many years for largo publlo gatherings and conventions. Dr. Mercer also said that the committee bad secured llgures upon de sirable real estate. A full half block suitable for the location of this building could bo pur chased for about fW.OOO. Major Clarkson suggested that Hon.V. .

It was decided to wire Mr. Kobortson to come to ( Jmulia toJuy if possible. Mr. Hitchcock moved that the committee proceed with the plan of raising a fund of 00,000. Five per cent of which should bo paid' prior to October 1 and the balance when thu millonal convention shall have been secured. After some discussion the motion was carried. Colonel Scott made a ringing speech urg ing the members of the committee to got red hot with earnestness and nrouso the whole city so that every citizen of Omaha should feel lully alive to tlio situation and thn im portance of securing the convention. Ho said that Omaha was bettor able to take care of the convention than Minneapolis. The colonel had a list of the hotels in Omaha that actually surprised tno members of tbo com mittee. The colonel Rt.Id : "Thoro Is a list of hotels that will accommodate ncarlv ton thousand delegates. I indorse the idea suggested by Dr. Mercer and the com- mlttco of putting up a splendid building.

Special Coinmitlco'fl Iloport. The special committee appointed to make an cUtmuto of the probable expenses of the preliminary work of securing the convention reported as follows : "Wa bollevoth.it $1.000 will bo necessary and recommend that such amount bo appropriated for this purpose. This appropriation , wo estimate , will bo necessary for printing , correspondence nnd other necessary work which should bo done prior to the meeting of the nation.il commit tee.

Mr. Lmdsoy said ho would assist to the very best of his ability In every move ment Inaugurated by the committee to so- euro the convention. Financial Considerations. On tbo motion of Mr. Hitchcock the chair man was authorized to appoint a ilnanco committee of nine to take up the matter of subscriptions at onco. The committee on location of auditorium was eontinuud with the addition of Mr. Lewis S. Hood. Mr. Thomas Kilpatriok made n telling speech. Hu was in favor of pushing ahead with the raisiuir of funds. Alter a good sum had been secured the other work could bn pushed with dispatch. Major Clurk son was in favor of the .sen timent expressed by Mr. Kilpatrick. Mr. Jules Lombard suggested that stops bo takou to lay the matter buforo the state on. cumptnent of the Grand Armv of the Kopub- Heat thu meeting to bo held at Grand Island during the Ilrst week In September. Major Clurkson was appointed as a special committee to attend to this matter. Tbo committee then adjourned to meet on Satur day night of this wcelt. Several members of the committe , in talk ing over the matter after the meeting , said they thought that Ur. Mercer nnd other members of the commlttcco on buildings hud struck the key note of success in recom mending a now building near thu heart of the city. MiiHt Have tlio liuildinir. They all seemed to think that Omaha should have such n building oven If the city failed to secure the next national republi can convention. While the Coliseum Is largo enough , its location Is too far removed from the centre of tbo city , these gentlemen scorned to think and the universal sentiment appeared to bo In Invor of an immense now auditorium. "Wo have figures upon vacant property w'thln a few moments' walk of the very heart of thn city , " said Or. Mercer. "Wo shall bu in for locating this now build ing , if wo get the convention , where every body can wall : to It from the heart of the city If they so desire. It will bo worth $ "iOOIH ( ) ) n'year to Omaha to have such a building. Wo can then invlto every organi zation In the United States , or the world for that matter , to cumo to Omaha and hold their great gatherings in a hall with capacity largo enough and convenient enough to accommo date the largest meetings that are held any where , " til'.tltliS OF fil'OllT.

Pov erty and sin go baud in band.Poverty la thu causu of crlmo nnd crime Is sin. If you ask for shorter hours , sorno will say 'Whal's the use of L'iving uio laboring man short , hours ) Ilo will only waste his tlmo In sa loons , when ho had better bo at work. ' Why , my friends , it's thu long hour.- , that makes the drunkards , Their powers are overtaxed , and whim night comes they are physically ex hausted. A drink or two puts now lilo into n worn-out body. I have found that the smelter men .spend from $3 toS a month fur beer. Standinc in front of the hot fires of the furnaces dries and burns the lifo out of n man. See the smelter men. how their bodies are stooped and their eyes dimmed. A llttlo drink revives tnoin for a time , .and they say thev need it. "Tako a man who earns ? ! . 50 n day. Lotus look at his homo. No carpet on the lloor no pictures on the wall and only the plulncsfc- of food. Is such a homo lit for a man wlfo produces wealth ! Give a man fair waives ' and a pleasant homo and he will not spend his time in a saloon drinking beer. Why can't you men see the causu of drunkenness aud try to abolish It. 'Wo in the labor movement must try and educate our people so that they will haven bettor understanding of the labor question. Talk for I ho Tradu Mark. "In the largo fartonos of the east women and girls get -10 cents n day for making shirts nnd work twelve and llfteen hours. Is it any wcndor that thu women of the country uro rapidly going down to destruction 1 Try and abolish this poverty by purchasing only aoods marked with a Knights of Labor union brand. Thou you can rust assured that thu workman received lair pay for his labor. "Stoop down and lift up the common la borer to your level , else ho will surely dr.igyou flown. The best men are always orguiii/.ed. It's the poor man who is afraid to join an organization for four of discharge. ICducato yourselves and your children. Look especially to the literature that comes into your house. Don't have anything to do with or listen to political agitators. Let politics alone. The democratic party Is like an upper millstone and tho. republican thu lower ono. Thu workman is the wheat be- twcmi and I : continually boliijj ground up by both parties.
