RECEIVEF. ;9 ~~ An old Australian ;resident' atlSan Francisco vouches the following report :—He says :—" I can vouch for the truth of it ; the bet was bona fide, and the distance was actually ridden on the race track, about six miles from the city." He adds : "Is there any one capable of performing the same feat in Victoria or Sydney ? If so, I would like to know." " One of the most remarkable rides ever performed was accomplished at Bay View-park on Sunday, Aug. 2, by N. H. Mowry, a young Californian, who rode 300 miles in 14 hours and 11 minutes. About a mouth ago a number of persons were at San Jose, when the conversation turned upon the subject of riding. One of the party said that young Mowry could ride farther and faster than any man living, and finally offered to wager that he could ride 300 miles in fifteen hours. The offer was declined, because the amount offered was too small. Finally, however, Louis Barns and John Cahill pat up $2,000 against $2,250 by E lwar 1 Whipple, the latter wagering tha Mowry cauld and woul I accomplish the feat. At first it was propoeed that We ride should take place ova. the rice-track at San Jose, bat after . xctr !s 13ey View race -track was selected, and Sunday the 21 of August was dxcl upon as the day. For several days before the al. vent of the 2.1 instant, Mr. Mowry had b2en train ing for his ride. lie had thirty horses taken to the Park stables, and rode each one around the track once or twice, for the purpose of familiarising it with the ground; and on Sunday turning, at 20 minutes before 5 o'clock, he began his ride on his own horse, whicn he rode four times around the track. The rider weighed about 160th ; he carried a canteen filled with water, and a small pouch containing a few sandwiches, which he calculated to eat during his journey. When the signal was given, the hardy rider mounted his horse, and, raising his hat above his head, gave rein and was off. The horse broke into the gallop so common to Californian horses, and continued it until it went round four times, when the rider changed it for a second. Some of the horses were ridden only once round the track, but nearly all were pushed around three times. During the first six hours Ms. Mowry would dismount and mount without aid, but during the after part of the day he was assisted by persons retained for the purpose. At the end of 200 miles a placard was displayed fr mn the judges' stand, stating that that distance had been accom plished in Bh. 2min. 48sec., a shorter time than it had ever before been accomplished in. Those who had wagered their money against Mowry felt convinced that he could not hold out ; for, notwithstanding that he had accom- IVIIITUAL LOAN FUND ASSOCIATION (Incorporated by Act of Parliament. 1859), 14 , RUSSELL -STREET, COVENT-GARDEN, LONDON, AIWA And 38, QUEEN'S-ROAD, B RI G HTON holA NOES MONEY upon personal security, Bills of Sale, Free ;or Leasehold Property, for one, Billstr three years, repay 'weekly, monthly, or quarterly. promptly discounted.

They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the ori ginals by the closest observer ; they will never change colour or decay, and will be found superior to any teeth ever before used. This method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will support and preserve teeth i hat are loose, and is gua ranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in masti cation.
