HARROW SCHOOL,

These sports took place with great success, and, although
athletics have been rife for years, the present is the first
year that official cards of the events to be decided have been
issued. The committee was an efficient one, and every-
thing went off—secundum artem—as follows :-
100 Yards Race.—Sir W. Folkes 1, Latham, sen., 2.
Won easily.
Throwing the Cricket Ball.—Hadow (97 yds. 2 ft. 4
in.) 1.
120 Yards Hurdle Race.—Sir W. Folkes 1, Ainslie 2.

Putting the Stone.—R. Cookson (29 ft.6in.)l Graham, 2,
Broad Jump.—Cumberlege won at 18 ft. 6 in.
High Jump.—Martin won at 5 ft. 2 in.
Champion Hurdle Race. —Sir W. Folkes 1, Ainslie, 2.
Small Champion Hurdle Race.—Peel 1, Graham 2.
Throwing the Hammer.—R. Cookson won at 85 ft.

Strangers' Handicap Race, 220 Yards.—Viscount Mel
gund, 30 yards start; 1, Pricket 28, 2, beating six others.

KING'S LYNN ROYAL REGATTA.—This now popular re-
gatta will probably be held about May 24 or 25, and will
include the challenge eight, an amateur four, a pair, the
scullers' race for the championship of the Ouso by
professionals, and possibly a challenge cup for amateur
scullers.

BOAT RACE ON TILE TYNE.—On Monday afternoon two
youthful amateurs named Thomas Oliver and F. Edwards
rowed a match in Clasper's open boats on the Tyne for lOs
a side, the course being from the High Level Bridge to
Waterson's Gates. Oliver got the best of the start, and
increasing his advantage, ultimately won by about 50
yards. The victor is a young and promising oarsman.

Mr. J. Turner has sold King Alfred to Mr. Reginald
Herbert, and he has gone into Mr. Rowland's stablo at
Cheltenham.

THE BETTING MANIA IN FRANCE.—It seems that
acing has produced in France the effect it has long
ago produced in England. The mania for betting is no
longer confined to the owners of horses, their friends, and
the sperting world, where it does small harm, but it has
now spread to all classes. Lotteries have sprung up in
Paris, and every race-course is now haunted by great
omnibuses, drags, cabs, and by one vast machine instar
montis, and like a third-class carriage on wheels, whore the
public—the unwashed public—chiefly lose their francs,
and even Napoleon, in " sweeps," with a preference worthy
of a more remunerative cause. The noise the proprietors
of these speculative " ambulances" make on the course is
bad enough, but that is their least evil. It is just this
class of gambling which causes the robbery of tills and
brings discredit on the turf, which is still considered by
many elderly women of both sexes to be frequented only
by "horse jockeys" and "blacklegs." I hope the system
will not long obtain, at least at the " Bois " and "Chan-
tilly ;" it is utterly injurious and illegitimate.—Paris Cor-
respondent.

American iron and Steel Manufactures.

At the recent meeting of the iron and steel manufactu-
rers of America, at Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, the following
statistics were submitted of the production of charcoal pig
iron in the country in 1865, and a comparison with that of
1864, by which it will be seen there has been a slight in-
crease during the past year :

MINING INTELLIGENCE.

PETROLEUM —ITS PURCHASING POWER IN EUROPEAN
MARKETS.—The whole export for the last three years
from the U.S. was 10,887,601 gallons in 180 ; 28,252,721
gallons in 1863 ; and 31,745,687 in 1864. Of the exports
for 1864, 24,000,000 gallons were refined, and 8,000,000
crude, representing a money value abroad, at the price of
two shillings a gallon for refined oil, of about £3,250,000
in gold, giving the United States, at the current rate of
exchange during the past year, a purchasing power in
European markets amounting to $45,000,000 in U.S. cur-
rency.

IRON IN DIFFERENT COUNTRIES.-Iroll county, Missouri,
is tempting to capitalists. It contains more iron than any
other equal area in the country, and also abounds in copper
and lead ores, accessible by rail from all points north and
east via St. Louis. The annual make of iron in Spain is
estimated at 8,000 tons, a contemptible quantity for a
country rich in minerals, and having a population of some
15,000,000. Sweden and Norway have long been cele-
brated for their iron mines.

France produces a most inconsiderable quantity of iron
in proportion to her population. It is not equal to the pro-
duce of South Staffordshire, England, being only about
800,000 tons.

Scotland produced 850,000 tons of manufactured iron
last year. The total production of the blast furnaces in
Great Britain and Wales was 5,600,000 tons.
The shipments of copper ore from San Francisco to Bos-
ton during 1865 were 10,644 tons; to New York, 7,528
tons; to Great Britain, 10,762 tons. Total shipments,
28,934 tons.

The production of coal in Pennsylvania, in the last six
months of 1865, is estimated to have been worth
$98,019,161. and the production of pig-iron for the same
time $27,893,500.

The amount of oil transported over the Philadelphia and
Erie Railroad in 1865 was 382,022 barrels, of which the
largest portion was taken from Corry to Erie.
Pittsburg petroleum refining amounts to $7,000,000
per year.

The total amount of gold and silver ore extracted from
the earth up to the present time, as far as can be ascer-
tained, amounts to about $22,000,000,000, of which only
about one-half at present remains in existence.
