natural excitement of the moment was augmented by a universal indulgence in beer and whiskey.As the day advanced the church men became alarmed at the situation and kept themselves in hidirg.The feeling of antagonism was so intense, however, that it finally culminated in a free fight between men of oppjsite nationalities.Mad with drink, it was not long before hundreds of men were furiously engaged in a battle with sticks, stones and clubs for weapons.The riot lasted for half an hour and many men were struck down on all sides Dozens were carried away upon improvised stretchers with cracked and bleeding heads to their homes.BÏEBCGLBm RMLIÀY OF O-A-INï /VT3-A.The Direct Route between the West and all Points on the Lower St.Lawrence and Baie des Chaleur, Province of Quebec ; also

forty-one milts, teven miles down the harbor, then a triangle of twenty seven miles and back to the starting point.There were eight entries, and the line was crossed at 10.30 in the following order: The \u201c Hil-icia,\u201d schooner yacht, owned by Capt.Trott, of the cable steamer \u201c Minia \u2019\u2019 ; the Boston yacht \u201cStranger,-\u201d owned by G.H.Warren, managing owner of the Warren Steamship Line; the \u201c Galatea,\u201d the \u201c Dauntleis,\u201d and the Halifax yachts \u201cPastime,\u201d \u201cMonarch,\u201d \u2018Ignore\u2019\u2019 and \u201cGuinevere.\u201d Before two miles had been covered the \u201cStranger\u201d led, with the wiud south-west, but was overtaken by the \u201c Galatea,\u201d and the first buoy, seven miles distant from the starting point, was crossed as follows:\u2014\u201cGalatea,\u201d 12.21.45 ; \u201c Dauntless,\u201d 12.25.32 ; \u201c Stranger,\u201d 12.27.46.Notwithstanding the large time allowance given by the \u201cGalatea,\u201d \u201cDauntless\" and \u201cStranger\u201d to the small local craft, the lattsr were out of the race from the first turning buoy and the contest lay between the \u201c Stranger \" and \u201cGalatea\u201d on time allowarc', the Boston yacht being allowed 16m.57s.by the English cutter.For the first fifteen m.ies the chances were all iu favor of the \u201c Stranger,\u201d but then the breeze stiffened up considerably and enabled the \u201cGalatea,\" with her immense area of sail, to sweep along the course to windward at a rattling pace and literally sail away from her competitors.Just before the third buoy was reached the \u201c Stranger\u2019s \u201d topmast was broken during a heavy lurch in the sea.This was most unfortunate and caused the \u201cStranger,\u201d which was ten minutes ahead of the \u201c Galatea \u201d < n tune allowance at that print, to practically drop out of the race and gave the \u201cGalatea\u201d a runaway match on the home (tretch, the finish being made as follows: \u201cGalatea,\u201d 5.16.20; \u201cDauntless\u201d 6.11.55; \u201cStranger,\u201d 6.37.48.Both American yachts were splendidly handled.The local yachts were becalmed fifteen miles ont at sea and will not likely be in till to-morrow.What arc the Cigarettes Dade of?(Hamilton Spectator.)

generally taking interest in the Provincial Exhibition to be held here next month.The prize-book issued by the Commissioners, attracts attention, and we hear that many exhibits will be made in the list devoted to unenumerated articles.A valued correspondent draws our attention to the fact that no provision has been made for a Bench show.We believe that we have only to mention the omission to President Joly, and he will at once give orders to one of the sub committees to look after the matter.There are many fine dogs in Quebec Province, and those interested in them * «ay that we have\tevery facility for a fine exhibition of Canines.We hope that the\tcommittee will take the question up.It is not too late, though two weeks only remain before the doors of the exhibition will bo thrown open.We suppose the idea of a Bench ¦how was not thought of when the lists were made out, but surely a dog show is as interesting as a fowl exhibit.It is to be hoped that the Art Committee will find every facility for the furtherance of their wishes.We desire to see a creditable loan collection.Sonic years ago a really fine show of pictures took place in the Skating Rink.Everyone who looked at the paintings and drawings wondered that there were so many tine things in the city.Our citizens literally stripped their walls to oblige the public.The committee of the exhibition have the whole Province to draw from, and the show this year ought to be finer than the last, admirable as that one was.We trust that our people will liberally respond to the request of the committee, and send their best to the art rooms.We are informed that every care will be taken of the things sent.They will be conveyed to and from the buildings by experienced aiul careful men.They will be fully insured and carefully guarded by men appointed for the purpose.Since the last loan exhibition was held in Quebec, a good many fine pictures by artists of repute have come to our city.They are, of course, in private hands.but their owners; if asked, would, we are sure, gladly lend them for a feflr days, as much for the credit of the city, as for any other reason.We have not heard that the Committee is experiencing any difficulty.But it is just as well, we think, to suggest to those who have something worth showing in pictures, or in sculpture, to acquiesce in the desires of the Committee, and allow their treasures to be exhibited.In that way they would be doing their share in the education of sight seers.have a splendid exhibit of flowers and fruits.Growers will do well to consult the communication here referred to, and do their beat to comply with the wishes of the President of the Society.N otesTan d\u201cnews LOG A L A XD 0 Tilt: li WISE.H RE AND ELSEWHERE.Personal

Guy Magee, city editor of the Times, is one of the landmarks of the Chicago press.A long time ago, before there were any telephones or patrol wagons or boxes, when reporters had to hoof u between stations for the polke news of the night, Magee was a night reporter on one of the morning paper».Scoops counted in those days, and wneu a night man couldn\u2019t turn in one or two to his credit in as many weeks he was transferred.One morning after the list batch of night items had been sent in, Maeee was homeward bound when he discovered the dead body of a man in the street.Ha knew it was too late to get the item in the paper, and he knew if he informed the police of his discovery that the afternoon papers would have the lead on the item.In those days Chicago abounded in plank sidewalks of the meat miserable kind.Magee tore up one or two of the planks in the walk near by, and planted his dead man under them.Late that d?y, when he ctme down to his work, he notified the coroner, \u2018 and the afternoon papers were beaten.Narrow Escape from Being Bdried Alive.\u2014One day last week, an old man from the Pintnndre concession of Levis, fell in a fit of epilepsy, and remained so long speech 1*93 and motiordiss that he was given up for dead apd préparât! ms for hii funeral commenced.These preparations and the grief of his family were somewhat abrupUy ttrmi u&ted by the old man opening his eyts Police Court, Yesterday\u2014Two defendants charged with loitering near a vets-?l were acquitted.A carter, charged with st-alingfrom tue person, was admitted to bail, the trial being fixed for the 22nd 8 ;p tember next, on aco-niut of witnets is being absent.Testier dit Laplmte, of the parish of B-'acport, charge I with indecently assaulting and attempting to commit rape on a child ten years of age, p\u2019eaded not guilty, and was re manded to have h s trial at the uvxt term of the Court of Qu*en:s Bench.American Callers Upon His Eminence Cardinal Taschereau.\u2014Some thirty citizens of Connecticut paid a visit, r n Friday last, to U.8.Corsul Down*, and were received by him with his usual affable manner.Qo ih-same day he ar.auged for t\u2019 *ir reception by His Eminrnce Cardinal Tascheretu.Ac cordirgly on Saturday\tparty p.oceedrd to th?Palace accompanied by the Consul, who presented them in a body to His Eminence, iu a neat and appropriate t-peech, to which the Cardinal made a very ple rsant and appropriate reply.Subsequently, His En io ence shook hauis separately with each mem-bfrofthe party, and all left tho Pahc?dn-light-d with the courtesy end cordiality of their reception, Funeral.\u2014The funeral of the late lamented Madamn Ulrie Tessier took place y.stenlay mom ng, at 9.45 from her lutn rendinceon the Esplanade to the Basilica, where the usual imposing service for the dead was celebrate J.The cortege was very lengthy and composed of most of our leading citizens.The sacred edifice was heavily drap-d in mourning, and the body was placed upon an elevated cata falque immediately ia front of the grand alt a-, which was one blaze of 1 gat.The prayers for the dead were recite! by Rev.Cut6 of Quebtc ard the mata w;s celebrated by Rev.Mr Mayrand, assisted by Rev.Mis rs.Tetu aud Bogin, as deacon and tub-de-mon and a nu merous body of clergy, and the innsicil per-tion of the service was rendered by a full choir.Tne interment took place in Belmont cemetery.The afflicted husbsnd and family have our sincerest sympathy in their b;r.avi-ment.St.Nicholas fop.September.\u2014The number opens with a delightful fronti-piece, by Mary Hallock Foote, illustrating \u201cTib Tylci\u2019s B?autiful Mother,\u201d a charm'og ti!.- of life at *ea-Me watering-place, by Nora Perry.There are »eve-al seasonable but inoffensive little morals tucked away iu the story, together with some dainty drawing» by Albert E.Sterner.A paper that will mtcrett boys is tbe article on \u201cChrist\u2019s Hospital,\u201d-the famous \u201cBlue-coat 8chcol\u201d cf Louden,___ whrrs the scholars never wear hat*, dress very nearly as the boy* did when the schro! was founded, hundreds of years ag?, and hiva many quaint aud curious customs.Both girls and boys will be interested in the account, iu E.8.Brooks's \u201cHistaric Girls\u201d series, of \u201cChristina of Sweden,\u201d w ho was much more like a boy than a girl in her nature, and was, in fact, crowned ^\u2018K-ng\u201d of Sweden.\u201cThe Boyhood of William Dean How* Ils\u201d is pleasantly treated by William H Ridcing, and will cairy encouragement to many young literary aspirant» ;
