of Lieutenant.ebawyer, was an interest-
ing feature, The band of the regiment
was also present. The various pompe•
titione aro confined to residents in the
counties of Perth and Inverness, and all
were keenly contested. As Johnstone
and Perrie took ,the field to engage in
their contest they were heartily applaud-
ed. Of the five events 000stituting the
test Perrin won three. Ae Perrie also
beat Johuetone in an extra event—
wrestling, he is virtually entitled to be
styled world's champion. Bach man
put forth his best effort, and to the de.
light of the epeotatore new records were
created iu patting the 16 and 22 pound
shot, and in throwing the 22 Ib. hammer.
In the five events eaob competitor had
Mx tries. The oontest opened with put-
ting the 10 Ib. shot, Perrie's distance be.
ing 44 ft. 8 in,, and Johnstone's 42 ft. 5

professional record—that of 44 ft. 5i in.
of Duffy ab Edinburgh in 1883—but did
not notated in lowering the amateur
record of 47 ft, made by G. R. Gray, the
'Scottish Canadian. In putting the 22
Ib. shot both beat the authenticated
amateur or professional reword of 36 ft.
of G. Davidson and Owen Duffy at
Dublin in the 80'e. Perrie again took
first place with a throw of 37 ft. 5in.,
against 26 ft. 11 in, made by his op-
ponent. Throwing the 22 lb. hammer
provided a grand display, and- when
Johnstone made the fine distance of 02
'fa 2 in. with bie last attempt he was
warmly applauded. Perrin'e distance
here two 90 ft, 11 inches. Both topped
the previous aeoepted record of Kenneth
Macrae -90 ft.—at Dublin. In throw•
ing the 16 Ib. hammer Johnstone again
beat Perrie, the distances being 116 ft.
6 in. and 113 ft. 8 ie. respectively, though
the record of 117 Et. 8 in. made by John-
stone at Pitloohry in 1802 was unt000hed.
As each competitor bad now an equal
number of wins to his credit, the deoid.
ing event—throwing the 50 Ib. weight,
one hand one turn—was keenly watched.
Perrie'wae successful in winning again
with a throw of 28 ft. 11 in., coming
within an inch and a-balf of tbe record--
held by G. M. Roes—of 29 ft. 0a, incites.
Johnstone's throw was 28 ft. 0,1- inches.
Au exhibition of wrestling was also given
by the champion in addition to these
events. In the Cumberland style John-
stone won two out of three throws ; but
in the Greco-Roman style Perrie com-
pletely vanquished his opponent at each
of the three tries. The content took
plans on the cricket pitch which is ae
level as a billiard table, and the weights
eta., were oertified accurate by two well-
known athletes—Mesers. W. M'Combio
Smith and P. Ill'Lauohlan. The jadgee
