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 from 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
very much annoyed the amateurs of flowers. The gardeners
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 the abolition of the Ist, 2d, and 3d
classes of workmen, and that their hours of labour be
reduced from 12 to 10 on week days and to five hours on

Sunday.
MURRAIN IN THE GREAT EASTERN.—When the
Great Eastern steamed from Valentin upon the im-
portant business of laying the Atlantic cable, she carried a
supply of victuals so various, so large, and so choice as to
provoke the envy of ordinary seafarers. How many live
oxen, sheep, chickens, ducks, geese—what wonderful pro-
visions of sweet vegetables, and ice, and wine—was told at
the time ; but, after all, the voyagers got no beef. Before
the vessel had been long at seamurrain

the oxen, and one after another they were
thrown overboard. Nothing was known
then that the same pestilence was ravaging our herds at
home.
