an excellent start ; the favourite soon showed in front, how-
ever, and crossed the old course with a clear lead, followed
by Antares and Jung Frau, with Cantiniere and Palermo
next. At the distance Discretion was in trouble; and roll-
ing about, despite Custance's efforts to keop her straight,

A SHARK AT STORNOWAY.—A few OAP ago
a Backhaven crew, engaged in the herring Rsning at Stor-
noway, succeeded in bringing to lara an enormous speci-
men of the basking shark, rnosssuring 25 feet in length. Its
liver and blubber filk.t eight herring barrels. The cap-
turers sold it for £6, and it is believed that the purchaser
‘vill make 300 per cent. of profit by the transaction. This
is by far the largest specimen of the shark ever brought
ashore in this country. Its teeth were an inch and a half
long, and it had a prodigious jaw,---Northern Ensign.
