W\siiixiTov , Aug. If ) . 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

Tlio citizen's committee of twenty-live np-
polntoil to devise ways and moans to secure
the next national republican convention for
Omaha held a business meotlni ; last night nt
the rooms of the Heal Kstixto Owners' asso
ciation.
The meeting was attended by Mayor Cush-
Inij , C. F. Goodman , Yhonms Swobo , Uadot
Taj lor , O. J. O'Donohoo , Jutes Lombard , G.
M. Hitchcock , Dr. S. I ) . Morcor. Major
Clarkson , C. T. Hoggs , Brad D. Slaughter
nnd many others. Mayor Gushing presided.
MJor Clurkson read the minutes of the pre
vious meeting. 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. .
M. liobcrtson of iSellgn , the Nebraska mem
ber of the national republican committee , bo
asked to co-oporato with the committee In the
work of securing the convention.
Will AVIro the Member.
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. Got
the convention once , gentlonen , and wo will
get it a second time. The convention will
bring a cool ? l,00l,0i)0 ) , ) to Omaha , and if wo
don't got the location of the convention it
will bo our fault. "
Colonel Scott was enthusiastically ap
plauded.
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. " The report was adopted.
Mr. Cadat Taylor received a tolouram f rom
umcafTO , wtiicn. no read , staling mac. mo
convention of 1SSS cost the people of Chicaco
about $ . )0ll ( ) ) ) . Mr. M. S. Lindsay spolco
earnestly about the prospects for securing
tbo convention. Ilo had carefully prepared
a few llguros that wcro intoi'soly
Interesting. The number of delegates
In thu next republican national convention
will bo 877. Of that number nearly SOI ) will
bo from the territories west of the Missouri
rivor. 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 , "

Only about ono hundred laboring men wcro
present ut Mot/ hull lust evening to listen to ,
tlio address of Mr. T. H. Mc'inlro ' of Now

board of tlio Knights of Labor , on the labor
( | muloii. > . Major Mcliulro 1 * a line looking
man aiul n vuvy plo.uatit tnlkor , but was con
siderably discouraged ut the sight of so small
nu aiultonco. Several well known labor ad-
voonlos and agitators occupied so.itH on tbo
platform anil listened altcntlvoly to thu remarks -
marks ol the Knights of Labor organUor.
After n fuw Introductory remarks the
speaker started In by saying :
"It Is nn unfortunate fact that the work-
Ingnmn of today throughout the worlil does
not stop to think that slavery wna not nbol-
ishoil by the war.Vaguworkurs are in
much slaves today as wore the negroes of the
south In the unto bellum days. Churohc.i
and good people generally eon-
dc'inn labor organizations , but they
don't know why , and when reasons
are asked they can't give atiy. Tnny say
that labor orMinlzr.tlons stir up discord and
teach tholr members to bo discontented.
"Tho labor organizations uro doing moro
for society today than all thci churches of the
world. The wage svstum Is nothing but
slavery , and It i.s strain. that the laboring
man has never tried to free hlmsHf. *

There are three kinds of poverty , physical ,
"
mental ami moral. Name any "sin vou will
and wo will trace It directly to ono of these
three kinds of poverty. Notwithstanding
the churches and preachers sin gooa on In
creasing year by year and the Jails all over
tbo world liiivn to be continually increasing
their capacity for earing for prisoners.
"Is it not , ii'factl I ask If the churches
have not failed In their attempt to abolish
sin ? They have tried to abolUh It by char
ity , but it cannot bo done that way. Wo
look upon charity as tbo giving of
something for nothing , and people are not
doing very much of Unit now days. Give
to every man that which belongs to him and
there will bo no need of chant } ' . To the
crippled and Ins'ano there is Just cause for
giving aid , but our order don't bollovo In giv
ing when a man Is able to work.
Labor produces all the wealth and I don't
see why wo should not hare some of the pro
duct of our labor. I think that wealth
should belong to these who proJuco it. .Ills N
tico is what wo are aiming at , and not char-
itv. Tno Knights of Labor Insist upon get
ting all they create. I deny that labor is a
commodity , as so many people say. Men do
notundpr.stand this labor quostlon. They all
think they must work for somebody elo ; ,
and lot the employer live in case and lu.xu.T.
i am not ngniing ngamsc. cupnai or any capi
talist. It is the WUUQ sy.stom wo nro against.
Wo must not light the man with money ho
it not our oncmy. It Is tbo system which Is
against us.
AVork of the Wage S.VHUMH.
"A system which will blacklist a man and
keep him from earning an honest living any
place in this great country is a wrong ono
and should bo crushed out of existence , or a
system which will employ the public press
to denounce workmen and keep thorn fiom
work is all wrong. It is this system which ,
the Knights of Labor are righting.
"Wo rr.ust. look deeper into the question
and llnd the cause. That Is poverty. 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. "
With a fu-.v words of advice the speaker
closed and was loudlv applauded.
