EXCMNO &nuns' RACK roe i'sO.—One of the
finest receit'ever teen we. rowed on Thursday between two

unonvkincesown, and
for stlonaells"bsui.
The competitors were Edward Eager', watenuan. of
d who
sho row further
Chelsea, and John Tagg, waterrnan's apprentice, of
Monkey, the tanner being six or seven years his
onponent's senior, but a very much smaller matt. The
stake was £2.5 a side, and the distance to be pulled over
Ran from Putney to Mortlake. The Lelia Rookh
accomianied the race. and, Mr. Newnliam having been
appointed referee and other prelintiraries settled, the
men got to their poste, Eager' with the best place.
Eager. dashed away with the lead, but wee imined:stely
caught. and then commenced a splendid nice. They
were level for 100 yards, and then Tagg began to lead
and had soon got almost clear, but Evers kept him
there, and so they rowed to beyond the Crab Tree,
where Eagen repeatedly came over his opponent's stern
only to be left astern again, and they passed under
Ha 11111 l ersmith-bridge with Tegg just clear. Evers here
kept spurting up, and 200 yards further came up so that
he was going by, when they fouled ; Tagg pulled him-
self clear, but Eagers again drew up, and on Trigg
rowing ReroM hint a second foul was the result. This
went on without any change right up to the winning
post. Tagg, as often as Eagers attempted to pass him,
rowing right across him, and Tagg came in first with
Pagers on to his scull. An appeal was made by Eager's
umpire to the referee, that the race should be his, as
Tagg had caused the fouls, and the referee at once, and
very properly, decided that Eager, had won.
MalteeLs WltounliT WITHOUT Nissuiels.—We are
told that miracles base ceased. Possibly they may
have been discontinued in order to give full scope to
human intelligence. Certain it is that the wonderful
developments and achievinents of science in these latter
days have rendered direct supernatural interposition in
human affairs unnecessry. This is especially true of
the iinnrovements in niedical science. Two thousand
years ago Thomas Holloway would probably have been
deemed • worker of miracles. The cures effected by his
pills and ointment would have been considered super-
natural. Even now they are looked upon as marvels;
yet we know that the niedicineg which have healed the
sick in all parts of the world are the legitimate fruits of
profound thought, unwearied study and research, and •
long aeries of practical experiments. It is a singular
fact. and one that egtabliehes beyond question Professor
Holloway's theory of • common origin of disease, that
I the people of every country into which they have been
introduced have conaidered them specially adapted to
the complaints most common in such country. The
reason is that they operate upon the deleterious prin-
ciple in the blood of the patient, which is the imme-
diate cause of hi, disorder, whatever it may be, and
hence their effect is always salutary. In Canada every
settler on new land who has tried them in intermittent
or bilious remittent feetr, will aver that there are no
diseases in which they work such wonders as in these.
The Canadians are also impreesed with the belief that
the cutaneous anJ glandular disorders to which violent
extremes of heat and cold render them peculiarly
subject, are more readily eradicated by the ointment
than any other diseases for which it is prescribed. It
is in evidence, however, that just what these great mine-
dies are doing fur Canada they are doing for all nation',
under the MM. It so happens indeed that the ailments
upon winch the preparations excite the most direct and
powerful influence are precisely those which are the
chief scourges of British America, and hence they seem
to be, afitl in one sense are, re especially required in
that region than in Solite other countries. Bet their
unbounded eeltbrilY, and the enormous increase of the
deman.4. for them in all our colonies, indicate their value
more significantly than any eulogism that we could
bestow. Within • few years they have become staples
of the medical market throughout North America.
The constant inquiry for them renders it inexpedient
for any drug house or apothecary's shop to be without
them. The druggist who does not keep them, makes,
in effect, • tacit admission that he is unacquainted with
he of wants his custom is customers. His stock not merely
tincomplete ; it lacks two essential articles which the
sick must and will have from seine source or other.
Such popularity as this is the meed only of superlative
excellence, and it places the superiority of Holloway's
remedies beyond all eontroveny.
