liiibberer Accomplishedb Task on the
Third Trittl--Chaillenges.
As already briefly - itimounced by tele-
graph, Prof. Marquis Bibbero on Monday'
accomplished the feat of swimming the
East River, New York, with his hands tied
behind him and his feet securely bound.
The swimmer had made • two previous
attempts, on May 31st aed June 12l1,
each of which he had failed, the tide
proving too strong foe him., The terms of
the wager were, that the r etart should
be Made within fifty yards of the pier
heads on one side, and the finish
within a like distance of the piers On the
other side. At 11 o'clock Bibbero, in com-
pany with Charles Shearer, the referee,
and Thomas Coady, a boatman, - appeared
off the end of Jewell's. wharf, Brooklyn.
After gettinginto a boa1,.33ibbero threw off
his coat and had his -feet bound and hie
wrists tied behind him. At 10 minutes
past 11 he was thrown. overboard.. He
came quickly to the striae°, and began to
work his way toward the New York shore.
He lay OD his right side, with only his face
out of the water. Headway was • made by

violently backward. Tlie last of ' the
flood tide was running, so that the, swim,
mer was carried slowly limn Jewell's wharf
under the great bridge. Passing steamers
churned up the water.and sent 'Waves Over
Bibbero, but he •atiparently was not
affected in the least by rough water. The
-accompanying boat kept within an oar's
length, ready to give assistance. By 11,20
the centre of the bridge was arrived at,
when Bibbero saluted the . workmen with
a cheery " Halloo, boys." Several tow-
boats and barges turned out of their
course, and the ferryboats plying: baok
and forth at this point gave the daring'
swimmer all the room possible. When the
ferryboat Garden City came ,along, it
was alternately head and: heels, up with
Bibbero,nut he once more got hie bearings
and continued on manfully for the shore.
At 11.25 he was on a line with the head of
the New York pier of the bridge, but Worth

to win the wager. Thee time was • 30

were loosed, and he clambered_ aboard

A Cat Attacked by,Two Bhich
The follovving extraordinary and: touch.
ing scene was witnessed by a gentleman in -
his garden at Maiden. A fledgling black-
bird, evidently just escaped from its nest
close b7, had with some difficulty fluttered
from a fence into the overhanging branches
of a lime tree. A cat also had obeeryed
the youtig " der;" and ilannedistely gave
chase, rushing up the stem of the tree with,
__the intention of getting qn to the branch to
Obtain her prey; but'meanWhicalieparen-t-
birds had coma upon the scene, and, seeing
the situation of their nestling, attaelted the
cat with the tat:feet braveryntrym-g-to pre-
vent her crawling on to the branch.
They kept alternately flying ather, using
their beaks and wings incessa,ntly'With
the utmost fury, and . getting fearlesely

one was pouncing at her head;rthe dither
would execute a "flank" attack, kith of
them keepieg up all the time that continu-
ants, Imlay, angry chatter which • blackbirds
so welt know how to make on occasion.
These bold strategetio movements conftsed
the cat very much, as her position in the
tree was not advantageous, but she kept'
snarling and striking out with her talons
whenever an opportunity occurred. The
interested observer tried to help the birds,
but from the lower branches of the tree
intervening, naissiles were not of much use.
Re was obliged to leave the exciting scene,
but after a long absence returned and
found the combat still going on ; and a
person who had watched during tile inter-
val said the birds had kept up the attack
without ceasing, forcing the enemy to keep
on the defensive only; and this desperate
struggle kept on for-twothours, till the
birds were completely exhausted, and sat
"all in a heap;" looking as though they had
lost half their feathers. But they had kept
the destroyer from their little fledgling, and
their friend atAast managed with ',some
trouble to dislodge the eat. In the after-
noon the birds Beamed quite to have recov-

There are'no summer hats fit to be worn
by men who desire comfort. The ordinary
gray felt hat which has' been devised for
summer wearris a fraud of the very first
degree. Though light both in material and
weight it gives no ishade to the face, and
for waste of substance it is as bad as the
black silk hat. The etre:White- that abound,
though nobby and nice looking, are a dead
failure, in giving no protection to the
features, especially the eyes, which need
shelter from a glaring Hull. The Panama
and Manila hats, besides being very expen.
sive (a point, however, we are not at present
considering), are ,constructed on the wrong
principle, inasmuch as the brims turn up
instead of down, and thus expose the
countenance instead of shading. it.' The
prodigious, sombrero -like helmets clo.pro-
tect both head and face, but they are un-
graceful to contemplate and invite what
is technically known as" guying." Who
will construct a perfect•summer hat ?
