Albany, N. Y., Oatober 24. --
Probably 10,000 persons witnessed
the siugle scull race for $1,000 a side
and Championship of Atnerioa at
Pleasure Island this afternoon be-
tween Edward Hainan, of Toronto,
and John H. Teemer, of McKeesport,
Pe. The weather and water were
nearly perfect. The race was three
miles with a turn. Teemer selected
the inside position, which was a oou-
siderable advantage. At 4.58 the
word was given. Both men Aore in
fine condition.—Hanlan got a trifle
the best of the start, rowing thirtysix
to Teemers thirty-four strokes to the
minute. The race was decided be-
fore the smilers had gone half a mile.
Uaborno and Hibbert
Om to -day the 29th met., en
the farm of Mr. John Drake, half a
mile west of Staffs. As formerly, a
a good match and keen oompetitiou
is anticipated. In epite of all 001-
aido competition Hibbert has always
held the first place of honor iu the
highest class, and if ite best plough-
men turn out we have no fear of the
results this year.
Soon after leaving the quarter -mile
poiut Teemer, by grand work, drew
up on his rival and took the lead,
which he never afterwards surren-
dered. Ziemer iucroased his load to
the etakeboat, which bo reached three
77 or four lengths in advance. He
turned in 11.32 1 5. and Hanlan 11
seconds later. When Teemer reached
the turn etakeboat, which is half the
diatanoe, Hanlon was fully three
lengths in the rear, As Hanlan
turned his boat struck, and he was
precipitated into the water. Hanlan
claims it was the strong current that
upset his boat. Teemer was wildly
cheered as he passed the island.
Hanlan rowed down fifteen minutes
later. He acknowledges that he was
fairly beaten by a better man and had
no excuse to make. The official
time was 2118.

eior." choice, not only for themselves but
for this eountry. Mr. White has
won nothing but golden opinions
since his arrival in this country, and
has added much to the popularity of
the Admiuisteration. The fact of his
coming to the North-west so early
in his official career was greatly in
iris favor. The honest determination
which he has sho vn to secure reli-
able information with regard to mat-
ters relating to his department, and
the affability which he has displayed
towards all with whom he has come
in contact, have won for flim the
esteem and affection of our people.
His manly daclaratiou, that he had
not come to make platform speeches,
backed as it was by evideuoe that he
was bent ou seeing the country
thoroughly and talking to the people
themsolvts, Droved more effective
than any protestations which he
could have uttered. His assurance
that the taking of the North-west
census was bat the preliminary step
to allowing the '-Territories Parlia-
mentary representation was naturally
received with great favor.
His declaration against the multi-
plication of "Parliaments" for the
North-west will be appreciated aright
when the people look at the matter
calmly. The popular element in the
North-west Conn'.il now greatly
preponderates, and the people really
have the management of their own
affairs iu their own hands. No good
object, therefore, would be accom-
plished by creating a number of
divisional assemblies, involving great
expense. In time, when they can
afford and require ' it, the people of
the Territories will be given the ful-
lest measure of self-government.
On the rail{ay question, the rail-
way lands question and the liquor
question, the hon. gentleman's re-
marks were equally satisfactory. He
clearly disclosed the fact that his one

such as Mr. White, and will show

party cannot be discovered and pun-

SAD ACCIDENT.—A sad and fatal
accident occurred to the eldest
daughter"of Mr. Thomas Greenwood,
aged nearly tan years, on Wednesday
evening last. itIr. Greenwood return-
ed in the evening from Stratford, and
his little daughter ran out to meet
bins. She hold a small basket in her
hand and with it tried to frighten
away a spring colt from the horse
which Mr. Greenwood was unhitching,
when the brute kicked the poor child
in the breast, from the effects of
which she died soon after. She was
a bright intelligent girl, and was
idolized by her parents, who, natur-
ally feel greatly grieved over the
frightful death of their little one.
They have our deepest sympathy.

therefore being 180 years old; Bod-
myn-now spelled Bodmin-was the
former capital seat of Coruwallehire,

for centuries. 11 is now the property
