T.— The scullers' race for the Ward Cup, announced to come off at Albany, took place on Thursday afternoon, August 0th, and proved to be one of the most succesefhl aquatic fcsUvals ever wllnesied In that city. The boats Bterted from the judges'yacht at the exact Ume ad- vertfsed—not a single fonl occnirlng—and every man lowed the entire dlalsnce. A few minutes before six o'clock, the doublo-scull, "Josh Word," was seen coming out of the Basin, followed by the four contsstante, who took their places at the Judges' boot in the fol- lowing order:— "Jsok Featherly," rowed by Eranh P. Lovett; who weighs U lbs., and la 18 years old. W "Gertrude," rowed by James A. Duckboo, who weighs 137 lbs., and is 19 years old. ' "Glpsey," rowed by neodore Sawyer, aged 10, and weighing liaibs. ■ "Brafili Goifl^ey," rowed by Stephen I. Brown, who Is 10 years old, and weighs 104 lbs. ButUf and one the usual Btert Lovett, who pulls a quick. Jerking stroke like BalniU, the ex- champion. Jumped to the lead, and was soon a clear length inad- vouce, with Sawyer and Brown, how and bow, challenging bim for the lead, and Buckbee rowing steadily a bslf length astern. Sawyer was Boon leading, and, Aeouragod by his snccess, put 0 comfortable distance between himself and Brown, who bad overhauled and passed Lovett, leaving Uio latter stmegllne with Backbee for the third place, and evloenUy distreesea ftom the fierceness of his start - Buckbee, slthougb steering rather wildly, passed lovett a short diBteuce below Bath and started gamely alter tbo leading boate, and gained somewhat OD Brown, who was about four lengths behind Sawyer. * In this order tho upper stake-boat was turned, Brown making the beat turn, and the poslUons remained unchanged on the home atreteh, Bawyor coming in a winner In 19 minutes and 30 seconds, rowing a beautiral stroke, and appearing but little dis- tressed; followed by Brown, who made the diaUoce In 20 min- utes, Buckbee in 31 minutes, and Lovett In 31 mlndtes and IS seconds. As soon SB the men bad been duly "rubbed down" ond dressed, they had o friendly talk, which resulted in the following:— OHAIXESOE. I will row my friend "Dave" b'owyor o race for the Champion Flag, which he won in such a gallant and fair manner In yester- day^s race, and will meet him at Scott's Boat'Eouse tonight to setUe the preliminaries.

CHAMPIONSHIP SCULL BACE AT HALIFAX N. 8. ' The annual scnlUng race for the championship of Halifax Har- bor took place on Saturday, the 1st Inet, and in point of Interest excelled several of those. If not all, that have preceded It Tho contest wss witnessed by thoosonds. On the water there was a great provision of small oraft and rowing boats. The Judges boat was moored at a convenient point on the western side of George's Island. There were five boats entered for -the rsce, but the celebrated ones, "Tangier," pulled by George Lovett and the "Fidget" by George Brown, were the only ones which went over the course. Ilie etart was msde st twenty tnlnutes past 11 A. M. The course was from the Pyramus, opposite the Dock Yard, up to ttie Judges' sUUon. The race between the "Ton- aler" and the "Fidget" was very dose, and spiritedly contested. From the atorUng point the "Fidget" led, and succeeded in maintaining a slight advance until thoyreoohed the Market whorf, when the •Tangier" suddenly gained, ond as the boate noored Wler's wharf they were olmoet obreast A( this point oheer otter cheer arose fIrom the ossembled mulUtude, ond the weight of human firelght vory nearly overturned a lorge brig that wos lying at the pier of the morket whorf, the crowd on deck bovlng ruahed in the midst of the exdwment .towards ihe eastern bnlworks. - About opposite Wler's whorf the "Fidget" shot ahead of the "Tongler," but the odvantogo gained wos only temporary, os Lovet^ with a few well directed strokes of the oois, succeeded In recovering oil the ground that he had lost and soon was sbreast of his antagonist ana In ooune of a very fnw minutes had the lead, whioh no mointelned until he reached the winning point, maUng the oonrse In flue style. Thla makea the fourth Ume Lovett has won the belt—three times in succes- sion. The "Fidget" come in not many seconds later. After passing the Market wharf. Brown, of the "Fidget," seamed to Iag;'he was evldenUy much-foUgued, and perhops somewhat disconcerted by the ooUnnuous cheering which the closeness of ths contest inspfred. From Wler's wharf to the Judges' boat Brown labored very heavily °Bt the oars, ond missed several Strokes, while Lovettpulled steodily, systematically, and In very pretty stvle. Aathe "Fidget" passed Fairbanks' wharf. It was very evldentio the specUtors that it was "all up" wlth'her, and those pecuniarily interested commenced hsndlng over the stakes. It Is said that the "Tangier" shipped oonsldorable water while going over the coost, and that the "Fidget" come in "as dry aa soup." The day was highlyfavoroble for the contest, except thot the heat was rather oppnsalvo, the thormoinoter ot 13 o'dook IndlcaUng 82 In the shade. There was o light and varia- ble breeze Ihim the S.

On account of the congregation of visitors at the Springs for health (1) who had nothing to do but loaf and see sfghte, the meeUng, as regards attendance, was moasnrably successftil, but ndtber In thatnor a pecuniary respect was it so much bo as to indicate thatmunlng racee, as here con- ducted, is by any means a popular oUraotlon to our public. There wore not o few turf speculators, or turf patrons, so colled, on hand to moke moiley, and the betting, at times, was lively.

In our last we gave 0 brief noUco of the shocking death of female rope walkor, oboul which Uie following particulars will- be read with painful interest by tho people and profession:—' Aston Park, a short distance from Birmingham, was ttie scene of a sad occurrence on Monday evening, July 20. A woman, call- ing heracdf the "Female Blondin," fell from a rope suspended 3* (pat above the greensward, and was killed on Uie spot death be- ing instenteneons. Ihe poor creature had been engaged to co- through her perilous porfomance on the occasion of a /<(e held in the park. In aid of thefnnds ot the Order of Forestora, and there were many thouHands of parsons present. She made her appearance o little before seven o'dook, having been advertised OS "tho only reel and legiUmate performer of Blondln's great feate, walking the rope sbsoklcd in chains, feet In baskets, blind- folded, envdoped in a sock; to," The rope on which the pe> formoncewastotekeplaceis said to have bean sowomand de- cayed that one of the officials at tho hall described It sa "a rope on which he would not aUow a dog logo." Tbls cord was alxmt - 80 yards In lengUi,.was suspended between two trees at the alU- tude described, and fastened round the trunk of each tree. One extremity of the rope was carried'over a trestle, on which was a resting-place for theperformtr; midway between tbls and the tree to which the other end of the rope was attached, anothor tresUe was placed. This work was done under the snporlnlend. enee of the woman's hnsb'nd.' All tho preliminaries having been snonged, the perfonne) • cended the landing-place omfd the obeere of tbe erowd; she was attended by t|erhueband. who govs her the balancing pole ond chiUrnd her boote. The bond struck up a Ilvdy air, ana oa it did so, Madame Genevieve stepped con. tloudy, and opporenUy with some deirTea of healtetlon, on the rope. She walked about half Ite length, knelt and stood upon one log, then retomed to her reeting-ploce. At this point her husband stepped forwsrd and attached a couplo of steel chains to his wife's ankles and wriste. Again the poor creatnre moved forward, evldenUy In no spirit of confidence, but she wslked elowly along the entire length of tbe rope, reaching the opposite reatlng-ploce in sofety. An attendant approached and removed the chains; and at the some Ume placing a bag ovorher head, with an addlUonol blindfold. In thla condiUon the woman again- moved on the rope; sh'b held the balancing mle in her bonds, and caullooaly put her feet to fed her way; ahe had trodden but: three faltering steps, When the rope collap^d, the platform on which the attendant -was atondlng tell hock, and the poor woman was dashed to Ihe ground. Her death was Instonteneons. Sur- gical old wos at hand, but it -was of - no avolL Concussion of the brain or Injury to the splno wos in altf;pfobabUlty the cause of death. Tbe deceased was far advanced In pregnancy, and is sold to have hod some presentiment that the rope wosnotBofo. It hod been recenUy spliced, and gave way at° that part At the moment of this shocking ooporronce there were many thousands of persons fh>m Birmingham and the black conntry actual spec- tators of It, ond fo IltUe effeot did It produce that the fde was- continued, terminating with a display of fireworks ot Biidnlgbt; Ihe Foresters'Committee, who hsd the conddot of thepro'eeed- ingB, having at s meeting after the acddent, determined "to go on with the programme, emitting the dangerous parts." The scene of this disaster Is that very Aston Park which Her Majesty delguel to open aa a "Feopla's Pork" fire years ago; it is to be hoped that ft has now for the last time been used for such de- basing and brutallslng performances os that of Monday evening, July 20, An Inquest has been commenced by the county coro- ner, and adjourned. It oppeored in the course ot the inquiry that the poor woman's name was Powsll, that she had been a rope walker ever since she had been three yean old, and that her hnsband consented to peril her life for £16, for which she woB to bove gone through the performonce'twlce. The rope was provided by him, sod wos proved to be in o very rotten slots.. It aaems the Aston Park Company were to bare received one-fourth ot the money taken at the gatea for the hire of the ground, and that they never attempted to stop the Ugbt-rope d^dog. -The deceased has left six oolldran, and was six months advanced Id pregnancy with another.
