Swlleuren in rem fixermertwa.—Under the anipiese of the
Getman Gymnastic Society, a race of 1,000 yards, the length of
the Serpentine, took place yesterday morning, the chief prim
being a pietnre painted by Me J. A. Buchanan. There were also
two silver medals. There were live entries, vie., H. Parker
(Alliance Gob), Thomas Morrie (Weed London and National
elute), 11. Moore, T. Cavill, of Brighton, and W. Cote (North
London nub). At 6.46 Mr. G. H. Vise gave the word off, and
thoughEarker got a trifle the best of the dart, W. Cole almost im-
mediately went in front. He was not able to maintain lua poMion,
as Morrie was ahead at 80 yarde, Moore being next, and Parker
time cip. r
oue thus early began to fall into the rear, and remained
there thrghout the contest. The leading man went still
further in advance, and at 160 yards was a good two lengths
from Parker, who was racing hard with Moore, and
beading him at the green boat-house a abort yard.
These two last-named drew up to Morris by the time
the Royal Humane Society House was readied, the
Brighton man having made up murk of his leeway. Fifty yards
further on Farber taught Morrie, and swam level with him.
These three went such a mere that Cavil' was clearly out of the
race, and he may at once be disposed of ss fourth man. Parker
went decidedly ahead at three-quarters dietetic*, Morris second,
and Moore third. The exertions of the West London captain in
the early part of the race began totell on him, no that Moore who
was the favourite in the betting at starting, got up to and held
way for some little distance, but Morris went in again for the
flmehing meh, and got well away from Moore, but could not
ri itch Earlier, who won by a good two yards. Moore eased at the
finish, when he found his chance of second place hopeless. The
time was 17 min. 2 ore. Mr. J. G. Elliott, on. secretary of the

FIRE IN TICE HOWE PARK, WlNDBOR.—Yester-
day morning, about 10 o'clock, a portion of the grass in the
Wine Park a few yards from the lodge entrance near the
South Western Railway, and oppoeite the north terrace of
Windsor Castle became ignited rather suddenly. Fanned
by an easterly breeze the flame spread rapidly along the
ground, and in ►bout ten minutes the herbage on the part
which had caught fire was consumed. An alarm having
been raised, men who were at work in the park rushed to
the spot, and retarded the progress of the flames, which
ran quickly along the ground, by beating the fire with
brooms till the arrival of a water cart, which, aided by a
number of men with buckets of water, soon put an end to
the conflagration. The ground in the park, owing to the
recent excessive heat, is very dry, and it is thought the
fire was caused by a spark from the cigar or pipe of some
passer-by, the plot of burnt gram being near the road.
The blackened condition of the part consumed is a great
disfigurement to the park.

"-Having used your Pain Killer in my own
family, and been intimately acquainted with its extensive
use in Australia fee that.= years, witnessing in nume-
rous Maumee its marnspous power over &scam, I was led
on my return to Aberdeen to recommend it among my
neighbours and friends, and it is now extensively used
here, and giving entire satisfaction. Colds, coughs, neu-
ralgia, rheumatum, toothache, and many other pains am
almost instantly relieved, and ultimately cured by it.—
