witness the final heats in the Towner
regatta. Theweather wasoppressively
hot and the water as smooth as glass.
The first event was a three-mile pro-
fessional single scull race for a purse
of $800. The entries were Towner,
Gaudaur, Teneyck, Hamm, McKay
and Bosaor. At the tvorcl "Go" all
took the water together, but teToowen,
rowing the fastest stroke, quickly
to the front. 13efore the contestants
had gone 000 yards, however, Gaudaur
drew up to Teenier and passed him at
the end of the liretmile, turning the
buoy three lengths in the lead, with
Teenier'1n1, Tenoycic, Hamm and
McKay a tie for fourth, and Hosmor
bringing lip the rear. On the home
stretch'Tcemer made an effort to close
the gap, but Gaudaur pulled away

A good deal el commotion was
caused at Ottawa, Friday evening, as
the procession following the Sharp-
shooters -

went Hill. Some ono had suspend-
ed an effigy of Riel to a lamp post,
and when the procession reached that
point several citizens objected to its

hallucinations and a mild type of in-
sanity, probably curable under proper
treatment, and that he would not con-

Returns are still coming in about
the operations of the pair of hayfork
swindlers who made a lour of .Esoox

Biersea farmer, got caught to the tune
of $300 ; John Peterson, of Garfield,
$300 ; Thomas Symonds, of Colches-

chester, $275 ; a total of $1,175.
Patrick Ryan, of Perth, son of
Hugh Ryan, railway contractor,
went into the yard to test a new
rifle. The ball went through the
fence and entered the back of a
young man named C. Cooper, who
was sitting on a chair playing t he
violin. The wound was mortal, and
Cooper died shortly after. By au

the polios, and his grief is great. De-

The Indian war is not yet over,
Great excitement was raised at Sas-
katchewan Landing ou Friday at
noon by the sight of a small boat,
with a man lying in the bottom of it,
drifting down the stream. Some
men, not knowing what was up, im-
mediately took a small boat and row-
ed to the middle of the river, when
they behold a man in it, not able to
raise a hand or speak above a whis-
per. On the men's approach near he
told them ho had been shot by In-
dians on Doming ashore. Everything
was clone possible for the poor man,
and after a short rest he said :—"My
name is Geo. McKeever. I was go-
ing to Prince Albert, where I havo a
brother living, I have been away in
British Columbia for some time and
was just returning home, When

wan Lauding Thursday, lavas having
dinner on a small island when I was
suddenly fired upon by a band of In-
dians from the north side. They fir-
ed about ten shots, but only one took
elleet, being a shot in the abdomen.
Then I got into my boat and started
away, tho Indians running after m0
for imam distance." Tne Indians aro
camped in the bush, and are evidently
moving south, as they were busy
crossing their goods. McKeever
went to Swift Current on the anvil
stage Friday afternoon. He is in a
very weak condition, and the chances
of las recovery ars doubtful. Me•
Keever had been drifting since Thnrs•
day noon, not knowing where he was,
and unable to do anything. The po-
lice have been notified to start im-
mediately in pursuit of the Indians,
They most probably belong to Little
Poplar's tribe, Two more men ar-
rived Friday afternoon from Medicine
Hat with a ferry for Saskatoon. They
report having seen some Indians Fri-
day, but passed unmolested, and then
managed to get their boat, that they
were crossing goods in.
Rev. Father du Gast has just re-
turned from a clerical visit to Riel
and the other prisoners now ill cos•
tody of the authorities of Regina.
Riel showed some willingness to con-
form to rites of the church, and make
confession, but upon the priest tell-
ing hila that as he should made pub-
lic an apoetaoy from the Church of
Remo, he would now have to give
him a written renunciation of such
apostacy before granting absolution,
he doolined, stating that he hall a
mission to fulfil and his conscience
would not allow him to do so. All
the other prisoners, who. wore duped
into following Biel, aro penitent, and
express profound sorrow for their
conduct.

bering about 50 assembled at the
residence of Jno. R. Miller on the 8th
inst., to witness the marriage of S.
Snell, of Turnberry, to Miss Janet
Miller. Rev. Geo. Brown, who is an
old hand at the business, tied the

The presents were costly, numerous
and useful. The wish of a large circ-

Tho International Park on the
United States side was formally open-
ed on the 16th inst., by President
Cleveland, in the presence of an im•
mosso orowd. The towns of Niagara
Falls, on both 'United States and
Canadian sides, presented a gala ap-
poarance ; decorations worn profuse,
the Union Jack intermingling with
the Stars and Stripes, were displayed
everywhere, and mottoes entwined en
mirrors, windows, arches, banners
and all other conceivable places. On
tho cataract bank arch, which, by the
way, is about 75 feet wide, by 10 foot
high, were two appropriate mottoes,
reading t "Niagara Redeemed Free to
the World," and "New York's Im-
perial Gift to Mankind." F. R. De -
lane, Chairman of tho Committee,
had his large mansion, with its beau-.
tiful grounds, most handsomly do -
aerated. It was literally covered with
costly flags of every nation, Chinese
lanterns, banners, emblems and bunt-
ing profusely displayed. A very
unique emblematic piece of decoration
is a pyramid made up of miniature
Bartholdi's statue of liberty, made
of composition bronze, fee simile of
"Liberty I3nlightening the World."
The United State's steamer Michi-

Strong efforts aro being made by
the Scott Act supporters to have the

Weetwasanevent unparalleled in the
history of the Dominion. From North
Toronto to the City hall the route of
the procession was densely througod
with enthusiastic spectators, whose
cheers as the troops passed made a
deafening roar which drowned the
music of the bands, while the abund-
ance and splendor of rho decorations
in the streets and on tho houses—to-
gether with windows thronged with
members of the fair sex—combined to
produce a scene not easily to be for-
gotten by those who witnessed it.
