RAJLWA''e NOTES,—Large quantities
of 'cherries are daily shipped from this
point, and hundreds of baskets are also
transferred. The Doherty Organ Co.
Shipped two cars of their famous or-
gans' to Liverpao1 this week. Sid
Smith ships two cars of cattle to To-
Tonto- this week. A car load of ashes
:was shipped from here this week to
• Charleston, S.C.; one would almost
,auppote that the freight charges on
this would be several times more than
its value. D. Cantelon chipped two
'.—cars of hogs on Tuesday. Messrs
:'; Iearn te Hueter expect to ship several
cars of cattle in a few days. John Mc-
Guire, baggageman, is expected back
,from Massachusetts next week.
Cows AT LARGE.— Although all cat-
tle are prohibited from running at
large in town, considerable latitude
has been allowed in the construction
put on the by-law, and people have
been permitted to keep their cows for
- a time on the streets. provided they
watch them. But even this privilege
.leads to abuse, and people are doing
what is certainly contrary to the spirit
of the law, in leaving cows out over
.night, but tied to fences, evidently
supposing by their being tied, they are
not "at large" in the sense covered by
law. This is a mistake—cows tied to
fences at night are at large, and the
owners run the risk of their animals
being impounded. There is certainly
more danger of cows breaking away
and doing harm at night than in the
day time, and people who thus leave
them do so at their own risk, and with
the possibility of finding them in the
";• pound.
Aat&risua BICYCLE RACES.—On Fri-
day evening last quite a crowd gath-
ered at the Park to witness the ama-
teur bicycle races, the band also being
present. Dr Shaw, J. D+ Kilty and
James Jackson acted as starters. The
first was a boys' handicap race, in
which there were six contestants; it
was an interesting and well contested
race, being won by C. Agnew, who
started at the scratch, making the
third mile in 53 seconds. The next
was a third -mile race, in which the
starters were the Mayor and Messrs T.
'Jackson, H. B. Combe, Dr Bruce, W.
Jackson and A. T. Cooper, the latter
being handicapped, and it is but fair to
Messrs Bruce and W. Jackson to say
that they were. in reality, "not in it;
the Mayor took the lead at the start
and kept it throughout. The mile
..., race, open, was contested by Messrs
Emerson, Manville and Jowett, of
' Hayfield; Emerson set a terrific pace
'for over two laps and then dropped
.out, the others finishing very close to-
gether, but Manville leading; the time
-was 2:50. On Friday evening of next
week several races will again take
. place on Recreation Park, among
which will be a boys' race, a two-mile
handicapin which quite a number are
expected to take part; a team race he-
tvveen Clinton and Goderich, a fat
"man's race, and a one -mile open. It
is expected that the races will all be
well contested, and will prove inte-
resting.
