1 special from Newcastle-on-Tyn e
dated June 10th, says of tho Hanlan-El-
lot race: 1.-The course the men rowed
ovr was three miles and $50 yards,
the full champion course Thousands
of Tyneslders poured into Newcastle
from surrounding districts. There were
many representatives of border land
from Ainwick and surrounding towns,
wlo came tearing their representative
would be worsted, in the contest with
the young Canadian. The day broke
dull and cloudy and somewhat cold.
The wind was blowing from the north
east. At rs minutes alter IL the ref
eree's Loaf had taken up its position at
the starting point at High Level bridge.
The weather still remained dull and
cloudy, while the wind, which was
from the eastward, was blowing up
stream. Men were offering two to one
on Hanlan, when Armstrong, the ref
cree, arrived. Soon after a little steam
yacht arrived, which had been specially
prepared for the use Of ladies and a few
invited guests. The river was mean
while alive with crafts of all descriptions,
while all windows and roofs of houses
commanding a view on the river were
crowded. The English champions boat
was then launched, followed by 4 ten
cared barge, from which James Taylor
was to coach him in the race. The crowd
gave Elliott no little cheering. The gath
ering was not as large as on the occasion
of the Naturalization race last month.
The atmosphere was murky and oppres-
sive, while clouds of smoke came down
the valley between High Level and Red
heugh bridges. Hanlan soon after took
his position, and was also cheered. At
20 minutes to IL the re'eree's boat took
its station in the middle OF the river.
Meanwhile the crowd was hourly IN
creasing. The flotilla of steamers we're
uncomiortably crowded. Hanlan in his
boat was loudly cheered. According to
the terms of agreement the men started
by mutual consent. Elliott won choice
of position. Hanlan led all the way.
Elliott made no response. He was ev-
identity outrowed at all points and much
discouraged. On arriving at Scotswood
suspension bridge, a winner by ten
lengths, Hanlan took off his cap and
was loudly cheered: The Newcastle
Journal says: 1.-The ace will be one Of
the heaviest gambling races that ever
took place on the Tyne. During the
last two months heavy sums have beer
INVESTED on Hanlan at from seven te
four to five to two. There Is evidently
big bank money behind him. The re
verse is the case with Elliott"

COLUMBIA, MISSOURI.

A more charming place than Columbia
can scarcely be imagined. In the earlier
days OF its existence it gave numerous
proofs OF an enlightened public sentimen,
far beyond its day and generation, and
one evidence of its early sagacity de-
lights the eye OF every stranger-wide,
well paved streets, large yards and
sacredly preserved forrest trees-so that
the little city has a most beautiful rural
appearance, and its people have plenty
of the free air of heaven, green grass.
outrageous foliage. the perfume OF
flowers and the songs of birds. With a
good agricultural country which IS In
every direction tributary to IT.. accom-
modated by four gravel roads, and a
large internal business from her schools,
the trades and %avocations of the place are
in a healthy and prosperous condition.

transportation facility necessary to her
progress. The population OF Columbia
is set down at about five thousand, but
it is difficult to believe that it
is anything more than a village. I'M
less one drives over the entire place, 80
much has it the air of the country about
it. There being a great deal OF wealth
in the place, it is not surprising to find
many very handsome residences, with
finely improved grounds. The good
taste of the people is shown in
the fact that even the humblest
abodes are adorned with their plats of
grass and flowers. and we were even
told that this evidence of aesthetic taste
extended to the colored people, who
were fast learning the lesson of beautl-
flying their homes. Columbia, favored
as she is by fortune, basking at the feet
of three institutions of learning, one the
university of the state. possesses highly
cultivated and refined society. Settled
originally by Virginia and Kentucky
families, her people have that easy
grace Of manner which comes of wealth
and a natural dolce far mienti. High

her women are proverbial for their
beauty and NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. known

than to the United States. A project
which will shorten the sea voyage from
