in the 36th lap, Barker again succeeded in wresting the
lead from his opponent, although he did not maintain the
" pride of place" long, as in the next round Redskin once
more was in front In the 38th lap, Barker, amidst the
cheers of his friends, broke away from his opponent, but in
tho succeeding round so dashing an effort did the Indian
make that he passed the Englishman. These spurte on the
part of the Indian appeared to be made with little or no
effort, while on the contrary, Barker was unquestionably
beginning to labour at his " work," and although he was
leading on the finish of the 41st lap (the six miles being run
in 31 minutes 43 seconds), it was clear he was somewhat
distressed. In the 42d lap (the commencement of the
seventh mile), Barker, as they came down the straight,
rubbed his side as though in pain, and as they entered upon
the next round the Indian gave a leap into the air and
waved his arm above his head in triumph. Sam was suffer-
' ing, but he fought against it with the pluck for which he is
noted, and so recovered second wind that he maintained the
lead up to the finish of the seventh mile, which was run in
37 minutes 20 seconds. While running the eighth mile (in
49th lap) Deerfoot came to the front, although on the finish
of the mile the game Sam was once more leading, doing this
portion of the match in 42 minutes 52 seconds. During the
performance of the ninth mile many variations took place
in the position of the competitors, but though this was the
case, yet none for a moment could doubt the result ; the
Indian, it was evident, must be the winner, having the race
now secure. Barker continued to carry on the hopeless
struggle until running the G3l lap, when as they reached
the top turn of the course he was seen to stagger, and had
it not been for the ready assistance afforded him would
have fallen. He was at once supported in the arms of his
friends and carried off the course, the Indian being left to
run the remaining five laps by himself. The nine miles
was done in 48 ',minutes 25 seconds ; Deerfoot, therefore,
has to retain possession of the handsome prize. Peter
Basquet, the Seneca Indian chief, was present on the occa-
sion to witness the success of his Mohawk countryman.

ARTIFICIAL FLOWER I►IAKING.

----~-

Yesterday an inquiry was held by Mr. G. S.
Brent, touching the death of Matilda Scheurer, a
good-looking girl of 19, who died from poison im-
bibed into the system during her engagement in the
manufacture of artificial flower leaves. Mrs. Louisa
Scheurer, a widow, and mother to the deceased, de-
posed that on Thursday week her daughter was
taken ill. She was seized with vomiting, and the
refuse of the stomach was of a very greenish colour.
The witness took her to a doctor on the following
morning, who told her she was again suffering from
the effects of poison. She bad been ill several
times before, complaining of pains in the stomach
and sickness for the last year and a half. She
was engaged as an artificial florist in the ware-
house of Mr. Bergerond, of Judd-street, Bruns-
wick-square, and up to the time of her death
she had been engaged in the leaf mak-
ing. She was in the greatest pain until she
became insensible, when death put an end to her
sufferings. Mr. James Thomas Paul, surgeon,
of 26, Burton-crescent, said he had attended
the deceased four times within 18 months, while
suffering from the same causes He had made a post-
mortem examination, and found that the lungs gave
evidence of the presence of arsenite of copper, the
liver being highly impregnated, as was also the
mesenteric glands. The cause of death was acute
inflammation of the mucous membrane of the
stomach, produced by the inhalation of the arsenite
of copper. A sister of the deceased had died under
similar circumstances. Mr. Bergerond said he em-
ployed 98 girls in his establishment, and for their
protection he had suggested the wearing of masks,
but it was objected to by them as producing ex-
cessive heat. They, however, wore muslin over
their mouths. It was stated by a juror that the
arsenite of copper in such manufactures was pro-
hibited in France as injurious to workpeople. The
jury returned a verdict to the effect that the de-
ceased died accidentally from the effects of mortal
disease in her stomach and other organs, occasioned
by arsenite of copper used in her employment.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills:—
Healthy Skin.—At certain seasons of the year cutaneous
diseases are more troublesome than at other periods; and
on such occasions aie these two famous 'remedies most re-
markable for their curative powers. The Ointment cures
externally the disfigurements arising from scrofula, scurvy,
ringworm, pimples, blotches, and similar disorders. The
Pills purify all the solids and fluids composing the h,ody.
The Ointment not only soothes and heals the surface, but
passes to the glands beneath, cleanses them, expelu:.all
impurities, and removes all obstructions. Holloway's
renowned Ointment and Pills possess the very desirable
power of ejecting from the human frame the seeds of the
slightest, or most virulent, skin eruptions and ulcerous
distempers.
