Sporting Matters.
MATTERS AT HALIFAX.

Y.
HALIFAX, Aug. 23.-The announcement of
Reniorths death fell like thunderbolt in Hall
fax, causing intense excitement. The second
Tyne crew say that Renforth should not have
rOwed, as he was subject to fainting fits under
excitement. No further entries have been made
for any of the contests, and the programme for
the present is dlSarranged. Anticipating the
advent Of suspicious characters, fifty special
policemen have been sworn in, to commence
duty Tuesday.
THE DEATH OF RENFoRTH.
ST. JOHN. N. b., Aug. 23.-Further details of
the boat race state that Renforth after being
conveyed to hotel and put to bed rallied for
few moments, and was able to speak few
words. Violent pains ensued, with a discharge
of blood and mucous matter from the mouth
and severe purging. He continued to grow
worse until half-past eight, when he died in con-
siderable agony. The symptoms of Renforth's
disease point strongly to an operation of
drug, but no suspicion is attached TO the St.
John crew. If foul play has taken place, it
must have been at the hands of outsiders. 1t is
thought however, that there are no grounds for
suspicion OF foul play, as Renforth was seized
with tit and temporarily Frustrated after the
Lachine race, but that affair was huShed up.
The coroner is now holding an inquest aud
searching inquiry will be instituted Flags are
flying at half-mast in the town and harbor. In
betting circles the principal winners are Ameri.
cans The st. John men did not invest heavily.
The hackers of the Tyne crew and western men
are the chief losers.
SINGLE sCULL CHALLENGE.
NEW YORK, Aug 24.-E. J. Blake, champion
of the Gulick boat club of this city, challenges
Eben Losee, champion of the Atalantas, to
three mile single scull race for 5000.

SAD CONDITION OF SOUTHERN HUNGARY.
LONDON, Aug. A.-Fearful misery prevails in
southern Hungary. At Barnat one-third of the
country is under water. In consequence of bad
administration the dams have been suffered to
fall into the river, and thus extensive tracts OF
land, reclaimed during the reign of Maria
Theresa and made fruitful with graintields,
have been flooded. Added to this the unusual
storms this season and the excessive severity of
of the government in collecting the arrears of
taxes have increased the general distress.
Hail storms have destroyed gardens, fruits, vine
been stripped of their leaves. Government is
seizing for taxes the cattle Of the peasants.
Some villages owe arrears greater than the value
of their whole property. Agriculture, trade and
industry in general are ruined, and famine is
impending.

Almost n Murder.

We learn from II c. Parsons, Esq,
OF Winfield that on Thursday last a
man named W. B. Fowler was found
insensible, lying in corn field near
Red House, Putnam county, shot in the
head. At frztth wounl was supposed
to be fatal, but at last accounts the
injured man was improving, with strong
hopes OF his recovery. The wound was
made BY a musket ball, which entered
just above the right eye, and traversed
two or three inches around the head
under the scalp and passed out Benz.
Carnell was arrested for the ofense and
taken before Squire J. I. Hughes for a
preliminary examination, who commit
ed him to jail TO await the action OF the
Grand Jury at the next term OF the
Putnam county Circuit Court. From
the evidence upoa the preliminary ex-
animation, it was developed that there
was a woman at the bottom OF The affair.

Double Murder at Leland.

CHICAGO, July l0.-William Blair,
a brakeman on the Chicago, Burlington
and Quincy Railroad, was shot and in
stantly killed at Leland, Illinois, on
Saturday evening. On the 4th inst.
Blair was in Aurora, where he got into
a fight and nearly killed young man
by striking him on the head with a
stone. A short time since Blair sent
for his brother, Laban Blair, in Ohio,
to come and help him to "clean out
his brother-in-law, named Sheperd
They went to Sheperd's house on Sat
urday evening, and commenced the
cleaning out process, when Sbeperd
seized q musket and shot Blair through
the heart. Blair, after falling, raised
himself on his elbow, drew a revolver
and discharged four shots at Sheperd,
one OF which entered his leg, Blair then
fell back and expired.
The Blairs have been the worst young
men in this section OF country. They
belonged to a gang of horse thieves.
William stabbed a man with a butcher
knife in a meat market at Somonauk
three years ago, when only sixteen
years old. He escaped the penItentiary
on account OF his age. He has since
committed every crime in the calendar.
Laban, the elder, has served a term in
the penitentary for horse stealing. He
