Dark and tLreal'ning looked the sky,
But our hopes werg beating high,
AS we started on our way
10 the glorious cuttle-show,-
Some pronounce it "shattle co,
On drear October day
Scores Of fellows
With umbrellas,
OF to spend holiday.
Sure the race will soon commence
Over road and hill and fence,
Onward to tue cattle-show
Now the ''quick STEP" now the "route, u
Then the "double quick about
That rate, not too fast or slow !"
"Jolly fellows
Raise umbrellas,
Dear, oh dear it's raining so !"
"Quick, Professor. pay the tin
For we must and shall go in !"
" Let us go, for now it's done.
We don't care for cold or mud,
Or for pouring, drenchiug flood.
All we wants to see the funl"
Trottiug courses,
Trotting horses,
But the race has not begun.
"Ah! the storm is not yet spent,
So let's step into this tent,
And see ev'rything that's there"
"Oh, behold what wond'rOus sights
Fancy work and burning lights,
Fruits and vegetables rare
People bustling,
Crowding, hustling,
In this great industrial fart"
Now the rain begins TO slack,
And tho steeds come on the track,
"What race we'll have to-day !"
But already it begins:
oI'l bet on the one which wins ~
al, the black, )" and al, the bayl"
" Moscow's beaiilg J"
"Ah he's cheating !"
"Montreal has won the day"
Soon the second heat begins,
But this time the black horse wins,
All the floods agnin descend,
"Rush for shelt'rinG tents and sheds,
Or its fury on your heads,
Fierce the tempest will expend !"
"Jolly fellows,
Your umbrellas
Once again see ascend"
sc Never saw go rich a sight;
Crowds of people in such plight,
That your brother scarce you'd know
Wetted by the drenching flood,
Spatterd DER with filthy mud,
This way, that way, see they go
Wet and dripping, ---.
Swearing, slipping,
Oh the dreadful cattle show !"
Some in carriages so home,
Others hither, tbither roam,
Seeking lifts but finding none
Then an omnibus is found
Cannot take another pound,
Let alone another tonl"
Some 60 walking,
Scoldng, talking,
And the " shattle-co" is done.

HOW BoMp.snELLs ARE MADE.

The manufacture of bomb-shes is very in
teresting. The shell is first filled with old-fash-
ioned round leaden bullets; melted sulphur
is then poured in to fill up the interstioes and
bind the bullets in one solid mass the shell is
then put into kind of lathe, and u cylindrical
hole Of the exact size of the Orihce OF the shell
is bored through the bullets and sulphur. This
cavity is filled with powder even with the in
terror edge of the orifce, n G-inch shell Of the
kind here described holding about half pound.
The fuse fitted into the oriice is a recent Belgian
invention, made of pewter, and resembles the
screw cap used for the patent rhit-cans. An
examination of this pewter cup shows, however,
that it is made OF two hollow discs Of metal
screwing together, and filled with meal powder.
A number Of ine holes are drilled in the lower
disc, while the outer disc is entire and marked
with figures in the circle, l, 2, 3, 4. In this
state the shell is waterproof. When taken for
use, the gunner, by means of small steel in
strument, scoops out portion of the outer soft
metal surface, and lays bare the charge of com
position powder below ii. If the shell is desired
to explode in one second after leaving the gun
the scooping is made on the figure l ; if in two
seconds on the figure 2, and so on the idea
being that the shells of this description shall
first strike the object aimed at and do execution
as ball, and then explode, sending the bullet.
forward as il from another cannon, located a
the point where the fight of the shell is arrested
Large sholls Of eight or ten inches are filed will
powder only, and, bursting, do execution by
means of their fragments. These large shells ar
generally fired by means of a fuse of meal pow
der, extending through brass plug screwini
into the mouth of the shell. In both cases tn
fuse is fired by the ignition of the charge in tn
gun.
