Some of thu horses were ridden only once round the track, but nearly all were pushed around three times. During the first six hours Mr. 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 from 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 plished 200 miles, and had nearly seven hours to spare, they argued that every hour he re mained in the saddle was more 'fatiguing to him now than two hours at the beginning. They ima gined that they could discover marks of fatigue, and were jubilant, but not enough so to be demonstra tive. The rider was withdrawn to a convenient place and given a bath, which greatly refreshed him ; afterwards he mounted his horse and rode away as gaily as if he was just beginning. This enlivened his friends, who, however, never for a moment doubted his ability to accomplish the task. Finally, at eleven minutes before seven o'clock the ride was completed ; the 300 miles had been ridden, and that, too, in 14 hours and 11 minutes— a fraction more than 21 miles au hour." A YEAR'S CHANGES Wl7ll ROYALTY. In the year 1868 the following changes occurred amongst the Royal houses of Europe :—Seven members of Royal families died—viz., the King of Bavaria (aged 82), Duke Joseph Sachsen-Alten burg (79), Duke Ernest of Wurtemberg (61), Landgarf Karl Hessen-Phillipsthal (65), Count Hugo Lippe-Weissenfeld (59), Princess Emma- Schaumburg-Lippe (79), and Countess Gustave Lippe-Weisenfeld. Twelve Princes and eight Prin cesses were born, to make up for the losses incurred by the Royal Chapter ; namely, two Austrian Arch dukes (sons of Charles Louis of Austria and of the ex-Grand Duke of Tuscany), a Crown Prince of Greece, a Russian Grand Duke (sou of the Czare witch), a Prince of Prussia (sou of the Crown Prince), an Hereditary Prince of Hohenzullern Sigmaringen, a prince of Teck, two Princes of rime, a Prince Liechtenstein, a Prince Schaum burg-Lippe, an I a Prince of Oldenburg ; an Arch-duchess of Austria, Marie Valerie, born in I'esth, nine months after the coronation ; a , Royal Princess of England, a Princess of Anhalt, one of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, as In fanta of Spain (daughter of Don Carlos), a Princess of Bavaria, one of Oldenburg, and a Countess of Lippe-Weisenfeld. Eleven Royal marriages were celebrated within the past year—e.g., the titular Grand Duke Ferdinand IV. with Princess Alix of Pa►ma, Crown Prince Humbert of Italy with his cousin Princess Marguerite de Savoie, Grand Duke Frederic Francis 11. of Mecklenburg-Schwerin with Princess Maria of Schwarzenburg-Rudelstadt, Arch.. duke Henry of Austria with Miss L. Hoffman, Duke Nicholas of Wurteroburg with his niece the Prin cess Wilhelmine, the Duke of Alengon with the Princess Sophia of Bavaria (formerly betrothed to the present King, who was not allowed by Richard Wagner to marry her), Count Alphonso di Caserta (Prince of both Sicilies) with his cousin Antoine (Countess de Trapani), Count Gaetano Girgenti with Princess Isabella de Bourbon, Prince Alexan der of Oldenburg with Princess Eugenie von Leuch tenberg, Prince Louis of Bavaria with the Arch duchess Maria Theresa of Este, and Prince Nicholas of Nassau with the Countess Merenberg, Nathalie von Dubell, lice Puschkin. The number of reign ing sovereigns is reduced to 38, including the Em peror of Brazil, a Braganza-Coburg, it is said. Of these the oldest is the Pope (75), and the youngest Prince Henry XX[I. of Reuss-Greisz-Schleiss- Lobensteim Gera (22). There are four Emperors, a Sultan, a Pope, ten Kings, one Queen, six Grand Dukes, five Dukes, and ten Princes. Five-and twenty sovereigns have sons heirs apparent to the throne; one (the Emperor of Brazil), a daughter ; six, brothers; three (including the Sultan), other relatives ; and two (Brunswick and Reuss of the elder branch) who will be succeeded by sovereigns of other dynasties. At a meeting held in M tnehester on Tuesday of the central committee constituted to promote the adop tion of short time in the cotton trade, a report was sub mitted of the progress which had been made in the move ment. A resolution passed by the committee declared that, although the Manchester proposal to work three days a week had not been adopted in its integrity, the firms which had already adopted short time, and those who had promised to do so, represented much more than half the trade. - one F k ra n n o k ws ltwehneoroi.s—sHaoirdacetoGhraeevleeybutorilVans9aouTieonoc,o nino Montreal that "there was one thinc, in the United States lexpt there t beo passany one of the bands of hostile India w th h a i t te ho m h a a n d , n n a o m d e e d sir m e u t s o gr b a e v , e n:d inss tl s i o a an t id : h v t as eo Wb P ee r ts e ht s ee i r d al e e n ap t d . l ' ae ' Tino A sf.

An old Australian resident at San Francisco hes 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 month 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 side farther and faster than any man living, and finally offered to wager that he could ride 300 miles in fifteen hours. The offer was cleaned, becau-e the a mou•it off..re.l was too small. Finally, howe;er, Louis 13.1rns and John Cahill pat up $2,00J ag Oast $2,250 by Edwar 1 Whipple, the latter wagering tha.: Mawiv could and woul accomplish the feat. At first it was proposed that the ride sh)uld take place ov..r the rtc.:-track at San Jose, bat after.vards Boy Vie,v rale-track was selected, and Sunday the 2! of A'mgust was .ixel upon as the day. For sweral days before the al. vent of the 2,1 instant, Mr. Mowry ha 1 b;en train ing for his ride. He had thirty horses takan to th 3 Park sables, an 1 rods each one around the track once or twice, for the purpose of fimiliarising it with the ground; and on Sanday m)rning, at 2) minutes before 5 o'clock, he began his ride on his own horse, wbicn he rode four times around the track. The rider weighed about 1601 b ; 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 cemrnon to Californian NEW NOVEL BY THE AUTHOR OF "ST. OLAVE'S." Now ready, at all the Libraries, in 3 vols., M E T A'S F A 1 T H.
