The United States has made as cTeditabls an APP
pearance ut the General International Exhibition III
New South Wales as she has done among the Fish
and sh-BreedorS Exhibition at Berlin. Most OF
or manufacturers who were shTewd enough to go
to the expense and trouble of sending their wares
10 Sydney have in all probability opened up u
new, profitable and permanent market for them
Chief among those likely to find their investment
in this mode OF advertising pay, are the. makers
of hardware, agricultural implements, railway
papt Of all kinds, certain Glasses of canned goods
improved wagon and carriage fittings, and printing
material. The California grain. barley, beans, and
wheat. received only moderate APPRECIATION; but
California manufactured silk commanded first
prize Our dental instruments. usual, swept the
course without competitor. American dentists
and their tools are literally a necessity TO the
world More significant even than these successes
WAS chat of our manufacturers of sheetngs ducks,
papolcum and OIL cloths. The tlade in manufac-
turcd cotton between England and her Australian
colonies is enormous, almost rs large as that with
China We have called the attention of our pro-
1urcr OF tons to the fact that she is fast losing
This trade with China, owing to the deterioration in
her goods, while the honestly made American ducks
and calicocs command the market, Tho Austria
linn is no more stupid than John Chlnaman. He
is not going to buy ducks full of clay, or muslns
s;inencd with starch, because they como from
England. when he can buy honestly made goods
from u.s. just as England buys beef IN preference
TO the Australian rs long Jas it is better penny
in the pound cheaper. Patriotism is n good thing,
Int il weighs heavier everywhere else than in
trade Our cotton manufacturers deserve this
large market, and we doubt not have secured it.
"Sport is getting to be more and more disrrput-

boating matches, dsgusted with the late Washing
ton business proclnms that he will have nothing
10 do with boat-racng hereafter. There is too
much inevitable crookedncSs for him. 1t is hardly
necessary to refer to tho tendency lately exem-
pliicd of prize-Gghts to taper Oft into fzzles and
funks Thcre is perpetual quarrelng upon race
courses; and even the innocent matches ut base
hall and cricket give rise to multtudinous growl-
ngs about unfair play. All decent people will be
glad that prizc-fghting has rushed to n swift de-
generation; but it seems hard that competitions
which might be innocent. and, in some indirect
ways useful. should lapse into mere money-making
schemes Moral people will say that it all comes of
the betting; and the question therefore obtrudes
itself whether we cannot havo athletic contests
without the curse of betting Apparently we
cannot. Perhaps the ancients bet upon the result
of the Olympic games but from what wo know of
them they seem to have been engaged in for the
sake of honor Sport" on the turf, in the river,
or i'm the ring has degencrated into nero money
mixing The rest follows as o matter of course.
II n pedestrian can gain cash by losing match, he
will be likely to lose it, If there be pecunary profit
IN selling n race. it will DO Sold One feels that
this ought to he different among amateurs, who are
presumably gentlemen; but still there is as much
souahbng with them as with professionals. I'm
Jess there Is general reform, the issue is evident.
There will soon be no more "sport" having the
slightest claim to responsibility.
