THE BOAT RACE FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP.—
The first prize of £2OO was handed over to Harry
Kelley by the Mayor of King's Lynn at Fiddaman's hotel
on Friday evening in the presence of a large number of in-
fluential persons. Mr. Digby, the secretary, stated that he
had received front Cooper's backers a protest against the
second money being given to Chambers, on the ground that
the referee's decision in reference thereto was contrary to
Rule 14 of the laws of boat racing. The mayor said, that
being the case, he should reserve the money until he had
communicated with the referee. Cooper offered to make a
match to row the champion for £2OO a side at Lynn, either
in a week or at any time he named. Kelly declined to
make any match that night.
ANOTHER STRIKE IN PARlS.—Another strike has
taken place among workmen in Paris, which has

employed by the Municipal Council of Paris to keep the
public gardens in order have addressed a demand to M.
Maussman, the Prefect of the Seine, requiring that their
wages be raised to 4f. a day, or 120 f. a month, in place of
85f., 90f., and 95f. at present paid, according to merit.
They further demand tke abolition of the Ist, 2d, and 3d
be
classes of workmen, and that their hours of labour
reduced from 12 to 10 on week days and to five hours on
Sunday.

the time ; but, after all, the voyagers got no beef. Before
the vessel had been long at sea murrain appeared among
the oxen, and one after another they were killed, and
thrown overboard. Nothing was known on board the ship
then that the same pestilence was ravaging our herds at
holee.
