The SOMBRERO GUANO, of

PHATE is and always has been manu-
featured, (and of which he has sole control
for the United States,) contains fifty per
cent. more Bone Phosphate than Raw Bone,
therefore 1t is more durable.
A large percentage is Soluble, and will i'm

The Ammonia it contains is pure and rea-
dy to yield its value-not animal matter, ca
pable of yielding its ammonia after decom-

Nothing is spared in its manufacture to
render 1t the most valuable Super Phosphate
and Crop Producer in the market.
Eight years experience has proved to the

stephen Glrard, than whom no shrewder
business man ever lived, used to say in his
old age:
1T have always considered advertising
literally and long to be the great medium of
success in business. and the prelude to
wealth. And have made IL an invariable
rule, too, to advertise in the dullest as well
as the busiest season, long experience hav;
laid out; as by keeping my business con-
tinually before the public 1t has secured me
many sales that 1 would otherwise have

The INTERNATIONAL BOAT RACR-Harvards
Not So Badly Beaten After ALL Is clear now
that, in the recent International boat race on
the rlver Thames, the Americans were not
beaten 50 badly by their opponents, the Oxford
crew, as at first reported. The later cable dis.
patch, published yesterday, stated that the
judge had declared that the Harvards at the
end of the race were only half q length clear
water in the rear oftheir opponents, indicating
that they lest the race by about a length and
shalt. Now the special correspondent OF the
New York Tribune confirms this statement,
and says:
"The defeat of the Harvards in the interna.
tional boat race was less than reported. As
reckoned on the press boat 1t appeared to be
four lengths, and SO telegraphed; but the
Judge at Mortlake, Sir Aubrey Paul. person.
ally informs me that the actual difference at
the finish was but one length and half The
time, too, given in my first dispatch was incor.
rect. The true time was % min utes 20 seconds
and three. fitths, as taken by Frodsham's chro.
nograph, registering independent fifths OF Sec
onds. This Is nearly IL seconds less than the
time given by the London reporters; but took
