The Yacht Race.

The ocean yacht race for the Bennett
Challenge cup was begun on Thursday
and terminated Friday morning be-
tween twelve and one o'clock, the Idler
being the winner, the Wanderer second
and the Tidal Wave third. 1t was in
many respects one of the prettiest races
ever witnessed, and worthy of the best
days of yachting. There were five fine
sch0oners entered-the Idler, Wander
er, Tidal Wave, America and the Coun-
tess of Duferin, the first four we'll
known for their former achievements,
the fifth vessel from which great things
were expected. The Idler, Wanderer
and Tidal Wave maintained their good
reputation, as would the America but
for misfortune; but the Countess OF
Dutferin, it must be said, disappointed
everybody who saw her from abe begin
ming of the regatta until she dropped far
astern on Friday night onher homeward
bound passage. The did not sail well
either on wind or going free, and GER
tainly did not manifest any of those
points of which She must be possessed
to compete successfully with the Made
leine in the approaching struggle for
the Queens cup. Still a great deal Of
allowance may be made for her having
just come off the screw dock the morn
ing of the race and her additional bal
last having been put on board few
hours before she started. And it may
be further claimed that this was only her
trial trip, and that her gear was not in
apple pie order which would secure its
working to the best advantage. All this
admitted, the plain facts remain that the
America would have beaten her several
hours had noU accident prevented her,
and the Tidal Wave did beat her easily,
Notwithstanding that the latter never
used all even of her working canvas, and
was obliged to scud under bare poles for
three hours on Friday night, owing to
stress of weather.

Fashion Notes,
Half socks for children.

Half socks for children.
The revival of old materials is notice
able.
Smyrna lace has taken the place of
cluny.
At present polonaises are preferred to
tunics.
Scarfs of India silk are draped as
overskirts.
Long, slender waists are decidedly
the fashion of the day.
Black lace corrections retain their
place for summer wear.
A novelty is black net, embroidered
in lines and dots of straw.
Close fitting long wasted habits are
the fashionable overdresses worn abroad.
Belts and chatelaines, more than
ever, for the convenient carrying of
fans.
The crimson parasols from Paris are
adopted only in rare instances in Eng
land.
Sleeveless jackets of ecru cashmere
lace, wrought in colors, for midsummer
wear.
Dressing sacks and light kirts for
luncheon no longer shock the most fas-
tidious.
The popular contrast in colors for
both bonrets and dresses at present is
navy blue and red.
The blouse differs from the polonaise
in that the bodice is made loose, and
confined round the waist by belt.
Jackets and cardinal capes are the
popular shapes; but mantles and man.
tillas are the more stylish garments.
On some of the imported dresses
pockets occupy the entire length of the
skirt, from the belt to the hem that bor-
ders it.
Worsted braids, with gold and silver
threads interviewer, and lace with colors
introduced, are worn as trimmings for
fete dresses.
Linen wraps, Lisle thread gloves,
Japanese fans, sun umbrellas and flat
sponges (filled with water) worn inside
the hats, are peculiarities of the toll cts
seen at the Centennial Exhibition.

A Man in q Bear Tran.

Newell Alexander, a Micmac Indian,
aged about sixty-nine, who was on his
way from Quebec to Houlton and Wood
stock, and who passed through VIM,
was caught in bear trap which was set
by Alexander McMain, of Mattawam-
keag, in the woods. He had lain there
four days, when Edward Hamel and
John Savard found him, having been
attracted to him by his hoarse and faint
cries for help. He had heard the car
riages passing up and down the road,
and had cried for help, but the sound Of
the wheels probably drowned his voice.
Some persons heard, but were afraid.
He had plenty to eat with him, but
could not eat as he was nearly choked
for want of water. He had in his pos
session q dipper with which he dug
down three feet into the earth, and was
dipping up the mud and sucking the
water from it. He had an axe with him
with which he made wedge, driving it
behind his leg, thereby easing the pres
sure somewhat. He was caught Just
above the ankle of the right foot; but
fortunately no teeth entered his leg. He
is now at o physicians with his wound
properly dressed, and it is expected he
will recover.

PLAYING with the Feelings.

The London Globe says AS train
was passing through the open country
near Kellswater some of the passengers
saw man running across q field by the
side of the line. Presently he halted,
presented his piece and fired, when down
fell another man standing at few yards
distance. No sooner was this poor
creature prone on the ground than the
miscreant with the gun proceeded to
belabor his victim over the head and
shoulders with its stock, by way, it was
supposed, of finishing his murderous
work. The passengers the train were,
of course, greatly panied at being com
PEELED to witness such cold blooded as
sassination without the possibility of in
reference. As soon as they reached
the next station body of them rushed
to the telegraph wires, and in few min
utes the police authorities were set on
the track of the supposed murderer.
Great was the alarm throughout the en-
tire district, and especially at Belfast,
owing to the fatal occurrence having
happened on the eve of the momentous
twelfth of July. For all that people
could tell, the tragedy might prove the
beginning of wholesale slaughter. The
police, therefore, lost not a moment in
setting inquiry on foot, and a whole
regiment Of inspectors and sub-inspec-
tors hurried to Kellswater, intent on APP
pretending the supposed murderer.
All in vain this commendable display of
energy. He never would be apprehend-
ed in this world for one very good
reason. The whole affair was hoax
from beginning tc end, the assassin and
his victim being leagued together to
brighten the public. Are there any
horse ponds, we wonder, in the vicinity
of Kellswater

months they live on nothing but grass
hoppers. He keeps two of the sum-

for seven weeks his pigs lived on the
grasshoppers, and came out fat and
