On the Hudson River at Poughkeepsie, New York, Joshua Ward regains his title as "Champion Sculler of America"

Josh Ward, one of four famous rowing sons of a Cornwall, New York hotel keeper, regained his national professionial sculling title in a five mile race on the Hudson at Poughkeepsie, New York against James Hamill of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.  The twenty-five year old Ward had been the champion since 1863 but Hamill had unexpectedly beaten him in Philadelphia the previous September. Ward easily won the rematch by ten lengths.  Each competitor received $500. (By John Osborne)

In Philadelphia, the almost complete Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul is opened for a public reception

Construction of the Catholic Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul had begun in 1846, following the design of native Philadelphian, Napoleon Le Brun.  Though itt was not completed until the following year, the structure was far enough along for the Catholic Diocese of Philadelphia to host an open day.  More than two thousand people attended and Bishop James Frederick Wood, later the first Catholic Archbishop of Philadelphia, spoke.  The Basilica remains the largest Catholic church in Pennsylvania; Pope John Paul III held mass there in 1979.
