John Teenier is champion of America, which title he won last Saturday after. noon, by ono of the faired and ;mutated races that ever took plane on Toronto Bay, Doubts that existed in people's !Hinds that the r000 would not come off owing to the rough condition of the water wore dispelled about fuer o'oloelc, when the waterbeearne comparatively smooth. Shortly after that hour Referee Busboy's boat, the Mascot, containing press repro• sentativee and a few of the soldiers' friends, went over the ootroe, and on its return Boebey informed both smilers that the race would have to go an. After about three-quarters of an hour's delay word came back to the boat that Hanlon and Teemer would be at the scratch at 5;80. Meantime thousands of people had been brought over from the city to the island by ferries, and they took up post - None along the bay shore as close to the starting point as possible. It is estimat- ed that fifteen thousand people were on the island at Hanlan's Point, besides large numbers at the baths, where the turning buoys were placed. Along the course there were hundreds of crafts of all de- scription --canoes, row boats, yachts, steamers and schooners. There must have been five or Six hundred of them. 'There was a posse of police endeavoring to ki op the course clear, but their efforts were futile. The Mascot succeeded, after two or three trips, in getting something like a clearance, but not till threats had been made that unless the course was kept clear there would be no races There was no betting to speak of, every- one wanting to bet an Hanlon. Tamara; few friends hung bank unless they got odds, and even at that there were few bets made, Three hundred to 0200 on Hanlon was repeatedly offered, but there were no Miters. In foot, after the rano was start- ed, with Teenier leading, a bet of 8500 to 8800 on Replan was offered, but no one would take it. There seemed to bo im- plicit confldenoe in Hanlan, and his de- feat has therefore been all the more crush- ing becauee being so unexpboted. Some time was wasted in getting the jadgee and other preliminaries fixed, Hanlan had fixed upon Sohn Davis, of Windsor, as his judge, but diffioulty was experienced in regard to"1'eemer's, How- ever, just before the wailers made their appearance, it was announced that Peter Duryea, of New York, bad been appoint- ed Teemer's judge. Soulier O'Connor was appointed one of the judges at the finish; but nobody seemed to know or care who the other was. At 5:23 Hanlan, wearing his old. colors -cardinal and blue -shot out from bis hoot house amidst 'the cheers of the spec. tators, and he was quickly followed by Teenier, who also was cheered. He wore a pink and white striped shirt. It was at this time seen that boats were again enoroaohing upon the course, and .the referee's boat made another trip to clear it, Hanlan and Teemer meantime taking spine along the Course. Teemer won the toss, and elected to take the south side, nearest the Island, wbioh was more sheltered than the other. In a few minutes both soullers, looking in the pink of condition, were ready to start. Referee Busboy sang out "get ready l" almost instantly followed by "gal" At five minutes poet six the race be- gan. Teenier, almost before the word "go" was out of the referee's mouth, shot ahead, pulling 33 etrokee to the minute, Hanlan pulling 32, Teemer, amidst in. tense excitement, forged ahead, and was Boon leading by nearly two lengths. lie kept ahead, pulling a atrong, vigorous, steady stroke, and although Hanlan evi- dently did hie level beet he could not get in line with him. When about, a mile• had been covered Teemer went slightly out of his course, but quickly observed his mistake. Hanlan kept straight for his buoy, and at this time it was thought that he was leading, bnt when Teenier got into bis own water those who thought so were quickly undeceived. At the turning bouys both went too far south, and Teemer struck his buoy, whioh ,,s, loot him a few strokes. He turned hie buoy five seconds ahead of Hanlan, who lost ground by going to far south, and on the home stretch Twiner was leading by three lengths, 'Teenier at this time was pulling 84 and Hanlan 29. About. 200 yards past the turning buoy a yacht aoci dentally fouled them, and he again lost four or five etrokee. Hanlan's friends on the referee's boat cheered him and en- couraged him in every way. Ned faintly responded, but before the home stretch was half covered his own friends had to admit he was to beaten man. Teenier's easy, swinging pane aroused general ad. miration, and won for him numerous friends. About five hundred yards from the finish Hanlan appeared to make a final effort, but it was of no rise. Teemer kopt the lead, and finished two lengths ahead of Hanlan. The official time given was 19:26, although others made it from 19:31 to 19;34. • There was little or no cheering at the finish. People seemed thoroughly disap. pointed and amazed at the remit, and so ended the rase, making Jahn Tomer eleampion oarsman of America. Tesmer's friends felt like kinking themselves that they did not bet heavily on their favorite, They could have taken a pile of money home tvitli them. Four or Ave people were injured by the roof as skating rink, on which they were seated, giving way and precipitating them to the ground. One of, the shade at the end of tho wharves also gave way and sent several flying into the water, whioh, however, wee shallow, and they were hone the worse of the ducking. 01811011 01? PORES PEWS.

Loeb Tuesday was the annual civic holiday of this place and was enjoyed as such by a large portion of our townspeople, The places of business were olosed and a Sunday like appearance reeted on the plane, Early inthe morning the "Mail. land" base ball club, accompanied by a number of their friends, started for Tees - water, where they played a match with the club of that village. Long before the time sat for the departure of the exoureiori train to Goderioh crowds of people were seen wending their way to the atabion. There were the young and the old, the short and the tall, the married and single, the "epoony" and otherwise, the majority having with them the very necessary lunch basket. Stationmaster Creighton and his assistant were kopt busy selling. tickets, and when the train arrived, at 8:15, no less than 888 tickets had been purchased. ,Prompt on time engine No. 727, with Engineer Welsh's hand on the throttle, pulled six care into our station, fairly well filled by people from Lietowel, Atr wood, Henfryn, Ethel and the country round about, and to this was speedily. added the five coaches left on the siding on Monday, and off we went. Blue -vale added its quote of excursionists, and on arrival at Wingham junction two well- filled care were coupled to the eleven al ready attached. At Belgrave, Blyth and Londeeboro' a goodly number took ad- vantage of the cheap trip, and 1,024 pas- sengers were reported on board. No stop was made after Londeeboro', except at the Y at Clinton, until we arrived at Goderich, where the company separated; the larger portion wending their way to the park overlooking the harbor. After dinner the afternoon was passed in a general survey of the town, boating, bath- ing, visiting &a.and everybody was fair- ly well tuokered, out when 6:80 p an., the hour fixed for the departure of the train, arrived. The platform meeting at the park was dispensed with owing to the high wind. Mayor Seager, Reeve John- ston, Rev. G. 18. Turk and D. McGilli- cuddy, of Goderich, and Rev. John Rose, B. A„ of Brneseis, and others were ready to address the gathering, had the oppor- tunity presented itself. y Nature has been very generous to Gods. rich in making it one of the prettiest places around here (although the long continued drought and intense heat of old Sol. has scorched up the lawns, parks, flowers, and trees a great deal, so that it did not present ite usual brighbnese) but Damn Mature has nob been backed up, and consequently instead of there being a small steamboat for excursion parties, tables for meals in the park, a few drink- ing fountains, a half. dozen bathing.. houses, and a merry-go-round for the youngsters, there is not a mortal thing excepting a few fishing boats and row boats and a number of bare benches and a band stand. .Everybody who never saw Goderich before wondered why the town daddies did not wake up and look after the comfort and pleasure of excursionists in the matter mentioned above or else cease forever advertising the Co. town as the Eldorado of Western Ontario. If a few thousand dollars were economically spent in improvements in this way in- stead of over -reaching after electric light, &a., it would be a great deal better for the place and would ensure many an ex- cursion party that now seeks pleasure elsewhere. A Workman's excursion, numbering about 300 persons, from Fergus, followed the Bonnets train, arriving in Goderich abort an hour later. The laorooge club accompanied the exoureionieta and play- ed a match with the Hurons of the Conn. ty town in the afternoon, winning in three straights. A contingent from Brussels tennis club played a friendly match with the home team on the club grounds, near the light- house, Messrs. Drummond and Ellwood had as their opponents Bev. W. T. Cluff and W. M. Sinclair. The result was 2 to 1 in favor. of Goderioh. In the other set Messrs. Roes and Straohan played against C. Waterer and D. 0. Bose, eaoh party winning one point. As there was not time to finish the match before the train started it was called a draw. The Fergus train left about 6 p. m., taking with them a goodly number of the Brussels exoursionists, arriving at the oarpet town about 9 p. m. Qur train did not leave until 6:40 and then, owing to the heavy load, was 40 minutes endeavor- ing to get over the grade leading out of the town. Before we could get away two Care had to be left off to shorten the train, so that the other eleven coaches were crowded very full on the return trip. The coupling arrangement wail pulled out of one oar ab Blyth and it had to be left on the awitoh there, so that be- tween these delays and waiting at Wing - ham junction for the night express it was 11 p.m. before we got Home. worms. The day was cool and pleasant, in fact the breeze at the lake woo too freelt for the most of the excureioniets. There was almoob an incessant tramp kept up, both going and coming, , by per- sons going from ono oar to the other. Notwithstanding that there were 1,400 or 1,500 people on the excursions there was no one injured in any way no did any accident happen to mar the Pleasure of the day. It is astonishing after all how many people reticle in Goderich who were form - or residente of brussels and locality. The names of Dr. I'tohnes, itOGillioudtIy Bros,, D. MoOonald, 1lfeeers. Seager, Vanaletino, Ililliar, Rey and others go to prove that Godorich is indebted to have been (marten(' in Castle Dickson, Tlie dnst on the streets was something terrible and was very disagreeable. A number of the excursionists took abort sails on the barber but the lake was on the rough aide and prevented the boats venturing out very far. Owing to the peculiaribyof the lay out of Goderioh a bit; crowd does not make e very big show after they once get sep- arated, Conductor McCallum, well -]mown on the W. G. & 13., performed his duties in a very oereful and obliging manner, and proved himself a model condnctur for an exdurelon train. J. A. Creighton, the agent here, tools a great interest in perfeoting the arrange. meats for the trip and did a great deal toward making it a success. Among the passengers on theexoureioo train between Clinton and Goderich was Dan. (Dublin) Cameron, formerly in Mc-. Iutosli & Mo aggart's bank .here. He is just lately home from California where he spent nearly throe years. The home guard left to take oars of the town was not very large but they did their work well. nnsn UAW, nlTan. On oivio holiday the "Maitland" base' ball club drove to Teeswater and played the return match with the club of that plane. They were a little afraid of our boys and drew on outside players, G.' Mooney, Of Wingham, being' one of the number, who rendered them good service but the olub was "too light for heavy work" and consequently our boys 'had a soft game as the score will show. The play all through was up to the 'average, although some costly errors wore made. Brussels battery was a conundrum to the home team and our nine played a very pretty game, exoepting in the 4th innings. Only innings were played. After the let innings Teeswater put' Mooney in the pitcher's box as our boys !fatted Webb un- niorcifully, The following is the snore'; .1fATTLAilDe. Runs.

A general description may be interesting to some of your readers, who have never been there: A certain class of people are, always anxious for inflame - tion, and it is our duty to than with soh other what little knowledge we possess. Generally speaking we are indebted to others for what we do know. In giving a description of anything if Wo are .greatly pleased with it there is a danger of our ooloring it too highly, and vice versa. The only way we oat form a correct judgment is by comparison. A 'person never baying seen anything beyond their own native village think it the nicest. place under the sun. It is when they come to see other and bettor places the mind Changgee, The test is the superior. ity of one thing over another; Last year, I visited the old oounbry, and being swell acquainted with Toronto andthingilfg, very highly of it, I went away' with the impression that is probably' would not ate its equal on the other side, and, strange to say, after visiting New Rork, Liverpool, Carlisle, Glasgow, Edinburgh and other places, I still retained the idea that To- ronto could equal any of them until I re- turned and compared it with them, otltot pities, then I found my mistake. I do not. mean to speak lightly of Toronto, it it a beautiful place, but will not stand oorn parison with those grand old cities that have been growing and improving for hundreds of years, There is nothing on this side the broad Atlantic to compare with Buohananstreet, Glasgow or X?rincoes street, Edinburgh, Nevertheless we have reason to bo prbnd Of the splendid Cities end towns throughout thig fair Dominion of mire. So with regard to Winnipog,a considering ite ago and other circuinstanc• es strangers aro guito astonished to find it in mill an advanced state. There are some handsome bnildinge, the principal being built of white brink, interspersed with rad, giving them a nice appearance, The pity is plane:int)y situated on the banks of the Aesiniboia and Red rivers where they unite and pursue their zig-zag pathway to the distant ocean, fit emblem of the journey through life bo the great beyond. The river is about ons hundred and fifty yards wide, navigable for large boats, and when the weather fa favorable pleasure parties have delightful enjoy. ment skimming over its surface In their little skiffs, but we must look more par- tioularly at the city. A11 the streets are wide, llfain Street being ono hundred and twenty feet in width, all neatly block paved, with good plank sidewalks and street tramway oars every five minutes. To my mind the City Hall is the finest building. I don't suppose there is any building of the same kncl to surpass it in the Dominion. It faces Main Street, with a beautiful lawn in front, and in the centre of the lawn is a costly monument, ereoted to the memory of those brave volunteers who lost their lives in the late rebellion. From the top of the hall tower, which- ie one hundred and thirty- five feet from the ground, a good view of the city and surrounding country can be had. On the other side of the street, a short distance to the south, le the post office, another fine building. Still further to the south is the Hudson Bay Store, said to have no equal in Canada. It is not the magnitude so much as the mag- nificent arrangement inside. The whole street is splendid throughout. The Par- liament buildings are attractive, ae is naso the Lieutenant Governor's residence. In response to an invitation from the Gov- ernor the Assembly spent two hours very pleasantly at his reeidence, viewing the beautiful grounds so charmingly situated on the high banks of the Assiniboia, and all enjoyed his hospitality to the fullest extent. He belongs to the Methodist church and is a courteous Christian gentleman. Afterward when addressing the Methodist oonference at Brandon he spoke kind words in reference to the large number of Presbyterian delegates he had met with in Winnipeg. Would that all oar offioial men were good Christians, Time would fail me to speak particularly of the fine colleges, schools and ehurobee. The church of England seems to have the greatest number of clergymen. The Presbyterians and Methodists have three congregations each, Baptists one, Congre- gationalists one. The Roman Catholics are numerous, their places of worabip are chiefly on the other aide of the river. The city can also boast of ten banks. If a person happens to be on the street after a shower of rain they era likely to carry some of Winnipeg mud away with them. It is something like greasy pitob, it stinks right to whatever it oomee in contact with. Even on plank sidewalks it is about as slippery as walking on iota Old Fort Garry es all removed with the exception of one corner of stone work with an iron door on it. I suppose it is left as a relic of the barbarous age. The population is from twenty-five to thirty thousand. They are an enterprising people, generous and kind. May they prosper in the future as they have done in the poet. Even their highway robbers, of wbioh they have a share, are not des- titute of redeeming qualities, as exemp- Heed by two of them attacking one of the delegates and taking a considerable sum of money from hive, however, they were not entirely destitute of conscientious feelings as they gave him bask six doll. ars before taking their departure.

The members are bound by a solemn oath to never treat anyone, and ooneetluently the order is sometimes called the "Anti -Treating So- ciety."

The effect was electrical. The livery man and the hotel man jumped out of the conveyance in• a second and made for the woods as quick as possible, whioh they had scarcely gained before the laughter of their friend. at their discomfiture assured them that they were in no danger of either being permaturely hustled to the happy hunt- ing grounds or having to give up their valuables. The auppoeed revolver that was used was the case of a meereohaum pipe belonging to the oommeroial man, and the cooking oliok which electrified the nervous victims was the eliciting sound of the spring ae the case was being closed, -Record.
