sweepstakes amounting to $3.50, between the
horses Shepard Knapp, Jr, Gladiator, and Lit
tie Fred, came off "Wednesday afternoon at
Forest City Driving Park. The day was beau
tiful, the track in capital order, and the Park,
with the recent improvements upon it, never
before was in so handsome condition. There
was an immenses concourse of people, estimat-
ed at 5000, present, and more than 800 vehicles,
most of the latter being filled with ladies.
Knapp has been the favorite horse from the
inception of the race The betting upon him
was two Or three to one against the field. The
pools sold at the rate of $50 for Knapp, $40 for
Gladiator, and $50 for Fred After the first
heat Fred took the second place in the pools.
Z The judges of the race were Messrs. George
WaterhOuse, of Portland, j. Seward. of BOs-
ton, and George M. Robinson, of Augusta.
Gladiator drew the pole, Knapp in the centre
and Fred outside G. Fl. Bailey drove Knapp
f. S. Palmer drove Gladiator, and A. Savage

THE PITTsBURG BOAT-RAcE.-An examina-
ton of witnesses was held last week at the
mayors office in Pittsburg, in regard to the
claim of Hamill that the recent race between
himself and Brown was not fair on the part OF
the latter Seven witnesses gave their test
mony, the general DRIFT of which was that
Brown 'jockeyed" his competitor all the way
round. One man testified that he was in
Browns guide boat at the race and that
Brown asked them to get ahead of Hamill
during the race and give him the splash of
their oars" Another witness who was intro
duced to Brown before the race, says: %.
He spoke to me about Hamill's style and man
ner of rowing, and asked me in what Hamill 8
success lay l told him that Hamill generally
got ahead and managed to retain his position,
when he BROWN said he would get ahead il
he could, and if Hamill passed him he would
have to row over him. He left me under the
impression that he would not let Hamill pass
him fair or foul. ge H-s lsaf--
Other testimony is Of similar character
and Hamill claims that his charge is sustained
The decision of the referee is, however, irrevoc-
able, and it is necessary to remember that
Brown has always claimed that Pittsburg has
been unfriendly to him, and that this evidence
gives only one side of the question.

THE UNITED STATES vs.. PRIoLEAU.-The
London telegraphic dispatch OF last Friday, an
nouncing the single fact that in the case of the
United States versus Prioleau, the appeal Of
Prioleau had been admitted by the court, refers
to the Frazer, Trenholm & Company matter;
but our government is said to be at loss to
understand what it MEANS There are really
three suits in the English courts between this
firm and the government,-one entitled the
United States versus PTioleau, another called
PrioIeau versus the United States, and still
another named the United States versus Wag
ner But neither of these cases was in such
position at the last mail adviees chat Prioeau
could take an appeal. 1t is evident, therefore,
that some action favorable to the government
was had, of which counsel here have not
yet been informed, and against this Proleau
has appealed as it appears successfully No
definite explanations can be made until re-
ports are received from counsel in England
The political bearings of the case are as i'm
portant as the pecuniary consideration, and if
the matter goes against the government in the
courts, it will be finally carried up to the
House of Lords. Prioleau was made the re-
eeiver of the cotton at issue in the original
suit, but as soon as the, stoppage was an
nounced our counsel in London were instruct
ed to ask new appointment. 3aG OH f.,

HOW TO SAVE OLIVE find the following
IN one OF our exchanges. 1t will be very easy
for any one to try it: as
a snort time ago we published an article
rom an exchange, to the effect that salt in a
kerosene lamp was great saving Of oil. We
have since fully tested it and it is greater saw
Ing than was stated in the article referred to.
Fill the lamp half full of common salt then fiji
up with oil. 1t burns with clearer fame rnd
is a saving OF more than twenty-five per cent.

THE MUNICIPAL ELECTION AT WASHINGTON
The Democratic papers in Washington are
in state of frantic indignation at the result of
Mondays election. They charge the Republi-
cans with almost every conceivable kind Of
fraud and corruption, and threaten all sorts Of
protests. contests, and Investigations. We learn
from dispatch to the Boston Advertiser, that
of the "a ballot-recievers or commissioners of
election, sc were white men, and % colored 48
were Republicans, Sc Democrats. The aggre-
gate number of votes polled was not quite IA, :
600, which is more than 1000 less than were
registered. AT one precinct nearly 600 men
were in line waiting for a chance to vote when
the polls closed, and at each Of the several 9th
er precincts there were over 100. The Repub-
licans carried out of the wards electing all
the officers on the general ticket, 16 out of the
aggregate q members of the city council and 8
of the aldermen. The Democrats carried one
OF their wards by about 40 majority, and the
other by about go The Republican majority
on the general ticket ranges from 1912 at the
Lowest to 1886 at the highest. l4 -f- -s'i'

remarkable Discovery of Lake DWELL

{.
.s5e ings. ai - ,laa
The Pail Mall Gazette says: ga complete
bmpeii of lake dwellings has been discover
d near Daber, in Pomerania. Professor Vir-
| how, to whom the discovery is mainly due,
has succeeded in laying open on the western
tide Of Daber Lake more than twenty larger
and many smaller rooms or dwellings. Each
of the former is twelve feet large, ten feet deep
the latter average from six to four and quar-
ter feet. Between every two of the larger
huts there is a distance of foot to a foot and
quarter; between the smaller ones the dis
lance is about four feet, while the larger and
the smaller are some three feet apart. 1t is
doubtful whether the smaller buildings were
meant for stables or o,ithouses Many remains
OF bones, horns, leather. combs, needles made of
bone, wooden and clay vessels SC, were
found. Similar dwellings have also been dis
covered near Persanzig, in the new Stettin
district, which seem to have been DESTROYED by
fire. The wood used in them, where not burnt.

describes steel boat, designed by the chief
constructor of the British navy, which is to go
in search of DR., Livingstone. 1t will be built
exclusively of steel and charcoal iron plates,
one-sixteenth of an inch in thickness, and in
sections. The heaviest OF these sections will
not weigh more than forty pounds The boat
can thus be taken to pieces and carried on the
backs of negroes from one piece of water to an
other. The keel will consist of half-inch iron
plates, in corresponding sections. The boat will
be fitted with mast and fore and-aft sails. 1t
is to be built at the Chatham dockyard. Mr..
Young, of the royal yacht, commands the ex-
petition, which is to start at an early day.. B.
, Steel is thought by Professor Winter to be
an excellent material for more domestic YES
sells, such as saueepans. The entire vessel may
be in one piece, without rivets or soldering,
will heat quicker, and is more healthful than
copper. Russ, of Grstz has carried this idea
into practice, and manufactures steel house,
