Mac- donald will be one of the attractions at the Lucknow Caledonian games in Sep- tember. It was the intention of the Marquis of Lorne to be present, but he found that his proposed trip to the North West would prevent his coming to Lucknow. "However," said the Governor-General in a meat obliging way, "if I cannot get there I believe my Prime Minister can." Upon an invitation being given to the latter, Sir John gave a knowing leer, and responded : Well, I think I will be in the west about that time. I intend visiting my friend Shaw, and while I'm there, I think I'll drop over and see those d—d Lucknow Grits." Among the contestants will be Donald Dinnie; and George Davison, the noted Scotch athletes.

The change from wood to iron i construction of ocean steamships worked a revolution in the trade of world, and now we learn from a Bu, correspondent of Bradstreet's that growing scarcity of timber suitable lake construction has made it neeo to prepare fur a change from wood iron. Detroit parties entered into t business two years ago and built severe fine iron propellers. They demonstra ted the superiority of iron, and showee other builders that if they would retai their trade, they must add this branch to their business. Buffalo and Cleve- land builders have also begun the con- struction of iron lake vessels with every of success. As we on the north of the lakes have inexhaustible resour- ces of iron we should think that this is an industry in which Canadians may likewise engage profitably, especially as our canal system is conning into active competition with the United States waterways with a probability of success.
