Tho annual lotting of land for the erection of temporary
booths at Doncaster was held on Tuesday, when there was
a very large attendance. Tlio highest price given was
9s. per foot for twenty- one feet by Mr. Arundel, of the
White Bear in Doncaster. The prices gradually fell to
2s. 91 per foot, according to the sito. Tho total amount
raised by the letting was £156 18s. Gd.

THE MIDDLE PARK PLATE, 1870.—This race is ad-
vertised to close on the first Tuesday in October, for
now yearlings. Mr. Blenkiron having been relieved of
his annual donation of £l,OOO, the Jockey, Club, in ac-
cordance with their resolution, add 500 sovs, and the con-
ditions have been slightly varied, so that only maidens at
starting, if they have run in public, will be entitled to a
Bib allowance.

The singing of Faure and Nilsson met with much
enthusiasm at Baden. M. Strakosch has added Mr. Toni
Hohler to his travelling troupe for performing Rossini's
Mass. A sum of 4,300 francs has been collected for the
erection of the Gluck memorial at Weidenwang, Bavaria.
—Musical Standard.

A WONDERFUL ENGINEERING OPERATION.—In
the work of straightening and widening some of the very
crooked streets of Boston it became necessary to move
a huge building known as "Hotel Pelham." This
building is of freestone, 96 feet high, and weighs ten
thousand tons. It was movod 14 feet in three days, by
means of rollers and screws, a portion of the sidewalk
being also moved with IL So carefully and well was
the work done that not a crack was made ;in the building,
and nothing in it was at all disturbed. Large crowds of
people watched the process, and the fastest time accom-
plished was two inches in four minutes. A large bank
building adjoining the hotel was used to brace the screws
against. A groat number of these screws, 21 inches long,
were employed. $25,000 was paid the contractor for
moving the hotel.

The Charleston Courier is informed by a corres-
pondent that iu the upper part of the State of South Ca-
rolina there lives a young ea-Confederate soldier, whose
leg was amputated during the war, near the thigh, After
amputation the wound rapidly healed and he was sent
home. About a year after a fleshy produce was seen to
grow out of the flesh, which in the course of a few mouths
tcok the shape of a foot, and since that time it has been
growing finely, until now the man has a perfectly new foot
and leg growing from his thigh, which, in a year or so,
promises to supply the loss of his leg in the first instance.

The North German Correspondent informs us that
the steamship Frankfort has lately arrived in Bremen from
the docks of Messrs. Caird and Co., at Greenock. It is the
sixteenth ship belonging to the North German Lloyd, and
the first of their vessels intended for the service between
Bremen and New Orleans. Properly speaking the Frank-
fort will not open this line, as the North Gorman Lloyd has
already sent several ships to. America to establish the
necessary communications, but it will open tho regular ser•
vice on the 15th Sept. From that date two steamers will
start every month for New Orleans. Besides the two new
vessels Frankfort and Hanover, the Bremen, the New York,
and the Arminius will be employed on this line.
Probably this line will be largely used by emigrants,
and it can eas:ly take in cotton for Europe. It will
also profit by the commerce of Cuba." TLe same paper
states that collections of plants are daily arriving at
Hamburgli for the Horticultural Exhibition, from England,
France, and Belgium, and, though it is feared that marry
valuable American sp3cimens may have been lost in the
Germania, there can be no doubt that the international
characterof the undertaking will be thoroughly sopported.
The exotic plants already in the park lend it a tropic.il
diameter. A number of articles composed of freshly cut
or dried flowers are called fur some inscrutable reason
"arrangements," and aro considered indispensable for the '
decorations of boudoirs. Almost all parts of Germany send
some, but the most come from Hamburgh. About 160
judges have been named and divided into sections corre-
sponding with those of the program:lie, chiefly Germans,
but England, France, Belgium, Holland, and even the
North of Europe, aro represented. The houses and halls
in which the more delicate plants are to 13J exhibited are
complete, and the decoration is rapidly proceeding, while
competent authorities are arranging the flowers as they
arrive, to suit the architectural details of the building.
