The Republican and the Black Hills Railroad Debate
The Omaha Bee rebukes the Republican Valley Midland Pacific line critique and defends Nebraska’s push for a Black Hills railroad. It accuses the Republican of ignorance and demagoguery, argues that Jay Gould’s funding depends on local settlement, and warns of Wyoming’s potential future statehood affecting the project. The piece urges continued Nebraska support for a line into the Black Hills despite opposition.

Scull Race for Championship of America at Pittsburg
The second single scull race for the Championship of America and a $2,000 purse featured William Scharf and Ewan Morrin, both of Pittsburgh, racing on the Upper Monongahela river. Showery weather did not curb thousands of spectators as the five mile course ended with Morrin taking the buoy first and Scharf following, time 96 45 for Morrin and 97 37 for Scharf, in a dramatic finish. Scharf had won last year by a small margin though no official time was recorded.
