AQUATIC SPoRTs.-The international aquatic
carnival" at Halifax, is to begin on the 29th,
just after the close of the race at st. John, be-
tween the Tyne crew of England and the Paris
crew of st. John. The most important feature
of this carnival will be the four-oared race,
for the championship of the world, to take place
on the SOth. For this race, the prize offered is
three thousand dollars, in gold, with an addi-
tional prize of two hundred and fifty dollars for
the best Nova Scotia crew. England sends the
Renforth and the Winship and Taylor crews
the Paris crew is entered from ST. John, Halifax
will be represented by the Roche and Pryor
crews, while the only four from the United
States will be the Biglins, Of New York, and
the Coulter crew, of Pittsburg.
Much surprise and no little comment have
been expressed, by people interested in boating
matters, that the Ward brothers have not en-
tered for this contest. An explanation, on the
part of the Wards, is published, to the effect
that, while claiming to be the champion four of
the United States, and while DESTROYS of working
for new laurels in the Halifax races, they have
peen disappointed in not procuring a boat,
|
state however, that they will be prepared, at a
later day, to meet their competitors, in the race
at Niagara In addition to the crews above
named, it is expected that several, less known IN
| fame, will be entered. Each boat is to have
separate turning stake, aud the course will be
three miles, down the east side of Halifax har-
Dor, and return.
A scull race, for the worlds championship. i.
to be included in the programme for the carui-
val, to take place the last day Much interest is
felt in this contest, for it is said that "tbe
picked men of all the four-oarei crews wi II TAKE
par" and the race is likely to lproge the most
| exciting ever rowed. Coulter has already en-
tered; Brown of Halifax, and Renforth OF Eng
land, are to compete, and others, well known
among sporting men, will take part. Halifax
has harbor said to be one of the best places OF
the continent for such affairs, and the city is al
ready filling up with visitors, for whose recep
ton and entertainment great preparations ar,

A SNAKE SToRY.-The people in some parts
of Onondaga county, n. Y, have Il weird gift
for discovering marvellous things. They gave
us the Cardiff Giant, and they have, in one of
their ponds a tremendous snake twenty-five
or thirty feet long, which devours calves,
sheen, and geese, and occasionally fightens
some lonely Onondaga, who ventures near the
pond at improper hours They have promised
to draw off the pond and catch this snake; but
the promise has not been kept They have
caught something, however, which the Syracuse
Standard describes as "a son of the Baldwns-
vile snake" The fight with this monster is
narrated by the Fulton Gazette, as follows:-
"Last Sunday evening as Air. barley Dillson
| was returning home from visit he discovered
the reptile on log at the edge of tie pond
| barley made for it, and as no stones or clubs
| were near, he seized tho snake by the tail and
| endeavored TO thrash Its head against the log
| but it quickly wound itself around 4 stump and
| began to pull on barley, who had all he could
| do to keep his hold, but he would not let 90;
| he had a gIudge against that SNAKE Lately he
had lost a valuable buck, and this "varmint''
might know something about it, and besides,
barley was grit TO the backbone. He thought
of calling for help, but it was Sunday night
and he knew folks would think that he had
been somewhere, and so held on, waiting for
something to turn up. He dii not have to wait
long, for the snake had decided on an aggressive
| movement, and quickly uncoiling himself, made
| for barley, who succeeded in scizing il by the
| head, but could not prevent it from wind
| ing itself around him. Now the strug-
| gle began in earnest, both evidently
| knowing that it was "woe to the vanQuishedh
| barley had all that he could do to hold the
| monsters head, and it was momentarily tight
ening its coils about him. At last he grew faint
| and fell to the ground, and had just given up all
hopes of life when he discovered the sawyer's Ak
near him; hope neryed his relaxing muscles,
and releasing one hand he seized the AK, and be-
fore the snake could enter a protest severed its
head from its body, and then, exhausted by fear
| and eXertiOn, sank to the ground in Il Swoon.
| The next morning he was discovered by the saw
| yer, who with the aid of the neighbOrs carried
| him home Medical aid was Immediately pro-
cured. He is now comfortable aud in fair
way of recovery, though it will doubtless be
some time before he fully RECEIVERS from the
severe shock tbs his nerves have received. The
snake is on exhibition at the salt works II
measures ten feet five and onc-haf inches in
length and three and one-halfin inches in diameter.
