The cantatrices of the concert room, the
danseuses Of the theatre, and young graduates
at college commandments, have been deemed
embodied in carefully prepared and proper
iy directed bouquet; but now, we perceive,
that they have an equine competitor, and that
race horses are hereafter to compete with them
in the honors of such testimonials. At the
late agricultural exhibition near Louisville,
Ky, We read in the Courier, that while the
race horse Gray Eagle was conducted around
the ring, bouquet after bouquet was cast at
him from the amphitheatre, tribute from fair
being, to the matchless beauty of this noble
steed."
There is deficiency this year in the wheat
crop of Great Britain, amounting to nearly
1000, 900 quarters 1t is calculated that she
will have to import during the coming year,
100000 quarters; and of these she relies on
Csnada and the U. S. for 5000, 600 quarters,
or 40, 900 900 bushels. The surplus wheat
of Upper Canada this year, is estimated in
late papers at 1000, 900 bushels. Suppose the
Canadas to furnish 100000 bushels, there is
left to the United States as their share, 3d.
900 900.
The amount received by the Committee for
the erection of the monument to Knud liver
son, the little boy at Chicago who suffered
death rather than steal: is nearly 500. The
Press says money is arriving by every mail,
and that the necessary sum, about 81 800, will
soon be reached.
In consequence of the organization of fast
