Match for the Championship and $4,000

For some weeks past this match has excited
great interest among the sporting fraternity,
aud it was brought TO a satisfactory issue yester-
day at Harrisburg. Homer Lane was born IN
Lowville, Lewis county, n. T., in 1884 aud
stands five feet eight inches and weighs one
hundred and fity-two pounds. Thompson was
born in Chatauqua county, N. Y, in 1929
stands five feet eleven inches and weighs one
hundred and ninety pounds. Lane has contested
in sixty matches and ouly lost two of tnem.
Thompson has also tossed several good men,
and was thought by his hackers to be in Vipcible.
The match was to have been decided at the Har-
risburg Trottng Park, but before The time ar
rived q heavy shower came, and finally the
hackers of the men decided to bring 1t off in
room of the Harrisburg Park House.
At fifteen minutes to time was called and the
men took hold. There was an immense dis
parity in size, Thompson towering Get bis op-
ponent, but still the betting was} iavor of

bout occupied FIVE minutes, and was decided by
the referee side fall. In the fourth tussle
Thompson, by sheer strength, thre Lane; time,
eight minutes. The nth encounter terminated
in another side fall, occupying six minutes; and
in the sixth, alter brief struggle of three
minutes, Lane was thrown. This decided the
contest, and Thompson was hailed the victor.
ID. G. sullivan, OF Pennsylvania was umpire for
Lane, and J. Ii. Stevens. of New York, for
Thompson, while Harry Hill of this city, acted
as referee. Some thousands OF dollars changed
hands on the result, as there was a large
attendance OF the sporting element from all
parts of the Union.

Prospects of the Wheat Crop.

The San Francisco Market Reuieoo of August
says:-'It is now over O month since the first
appearance of new wheat in market and up TO
this date our aggregate receipts In round num-
bers amount to only 100000 centas, notwith-
standing the high rates ruling. The reasons
given for these light receipts are various. such
as the cold, back ward season, scarcity OF
laboreis for the harvest, ipsufliciency of animals
al teams for moving the grain to the various
landings during the harvest gathering. Ia
O her words, while the harvesting is goiug on,
the entire force of men and animals is required
in the field for running the machines, leaving
few or none to carry any portion of the
crop to an early market. This scarcity has thus
far been serious detrme to the shipping
interests OF this port retarded the loading
OF ships under charter, has depressed the
freight market and caused, for the time being,
a considerable surplusage of trst-class tonnage.
During this period foreign orders for our wheat
have been, from time 10 time reduced from 50a
55s. down to 44a49s. per quarter. Ths necessi-
tates corresponding decline in freights as
we'll as the prices of -four and wheat. Our
farmers are 10th to submit to this reduction,
but in view of our large surplus and the great
distance which separates us from the available
markets of the world, it must be submitted to-,
aud that at an early day, or else the wIuter will
find us with surplus difficult to handle to
advantage"

year or two hence, and be in prospect after
wards the gain in the meantime is only Of q
lose. The narrative equally explains what view
must be taken of the peace alleged to have been
made between Russia and Bokhara. Peace or
no peace, the Russians cannot be very comfort
able where they are. They have not crushed
their enemies as they must desire, aud they
cannot but apprebend daily renewal OF
attacks which are ali the more irritating becaUSe
tbt assaiSS. &c somewhat intangible to
tbeir feeble numbers. The Emir OF Bakhara
lust likewise be fearful lest the Russlais shoulu
be only signing q truce, and mean to PICK q
quarrel when their numbers have been increased,
Nor will his temper be improved by having 10
Lay so large a sum Of smart-mouey as half q
between the Russian Empire and Bokhara will
be highly unsatisfactory, whether or not the
Russians abandon the towns they have lately
taken. That they will abasdon Samarcand,
almost the enly one they have held as well
as taken, is nevertheless highly Improbable
In either case the frontier line will be in a
thickly-peopled part of Bokhara, with no
Iaturdl division 10 part the two neigh
bors; the Russians will have no easy
task in checking "brigaudage" across the open
line, and as the Emir had little power over his
subordI stes, preteXts for war will be perpetu-
ally furnished. Moreover, as we have already
pointed out, the Russian pressure on Bokhara
will be overwhelming, so that that State can
retain no genuine indeperdenc The whole
circumstances are such that we cannot but look
Tor an early 1esum ptou of bostllties. For the
moment the fear of embarrassment may prevail
in Russian counsels, and this may have been an
iDducement to conclude a nominal peace; but
having lntruded so far, and intricately entanelet
thems selves, there is no alternative between total
retirement, which is hardly now TO be thought
Of and Tie formal completion OF the virtual
conquests they have made.

Movements of Santa Anna-PrOba able
Rssixnat ation of the Captain GeaSraL.

The New York Iribune,s correspondent,
writing from Havana ou Monday last, says:-
The Gove1nor-General is in bad health. He
is suffering from disease of the stomach. An
article has appeared in El PdeS IN which, it Is
said, that General Santa Anna will leave the
country in few days, Whether this be a jest,
or whether it is malicious in the matter OF ad-
vieing the Gov ernment here that Santa Anna is
abusing his neutrality, no one knows. A former
ald.de-camp has just returned to the city from
Mexico. Letters have been received also lately
from Puerto Plata aud other points, directed to
the hero of Vera Cruz. 1t is more than pronable
that he intends ere long to strike for something.
''Rumor has it-and | have no doubt OF its
truth-that the Captaiu-GenerPl, on last Satur-
day. sent his resignation by telegraph to Spain.
1t is said that he will leave here about the last
of the month; will visit New YORK and Saratoga,
and thence go on directly to Europe. In a
private family, the Governor of Havana stated
his intention of resignlne; that as all the de.
partmcnts OF the Government here were dsor-
panlzed it was impossible to do anything aud
that therefore he wished, as much as he liked
the inhabtants, to quit the island. These, you
will observe, are rumors, and give them to
you strictly as such, but believe they will turn
out to be true.'
