THE AQUATIC EPIDEMIC.
Row the Sports on the water Have
Grown I'm Favor.


Col. Thomas Picton in his "Reminiscences
of Sporting Journalist says Of the aquatic
sports in New York City:
Ii is little over forty years since when
this staid city was visited by one OF the
most singular and virulent Outbursts OF
popular enthusiasm in favor OF boating as
an all prevalent psstime, which ever un-
expectedly seized upon q rational COM
munity, rendering il for a season absolute
ly crazy in admiration Of aquatic exercises.
AS il is beyond the power of present cir
of universal zeal, the Aquatic Epidemic"
IS the boating fever was faeetiously, yet
appropriately, styled during its ardent du-
ration, will be long remembered by Gotha-
mites Of the passing generation, as among
these social eccentricities, whose like we
shall ns'er see sgain.-
FOrty.Fiye Years Ago.
1t must be borne in mind that New
York forty-hvey years ago was emphatically
q mercantile city, sovereign of the Atlantic
carrying trade, with an immense proper
tion Of its population intimately connected
with commerce in its varied relations.
Shipysrds extended along the entire length
of the East River, from Grand street to be-
yond the city limits; our ship6uilders since
the triumphs of Ecktord at home aud
abroad were the recognized naval archi-
tects of the world; our seamen were famed
for their bravery and skill; our Atlantic
packets were literally the pride OF the seas,
while our boatmen claimed championship
of the oar since the scullers of Whitehall
yanquished the enemy in an international
contest with a picked British crew, the
best trained to be found in His Chem
Majesty's much-ysunted navy.

Buenos Ayres, in South America. is
a country very similar to our western
ranges, and is said to be INT of the best
winter and summer ranges in the
world. AS we have said before, the
price of cattle and horses is very low
there now. There are two or three
almost insurmountable obstacles to an
Americans breeding cattle in that
| country.
The first is, he is not acquainted
with the language spoken. Second, he
is unaccustomed to their methods of
doing business.
Some Europeans who have tried the
business have complained that they
were taxed 80 heavily that they were
taxed out of the country. We notice
in the Mark Lane Express an extract
from a letter published in a paper at
Buenos Ayres, in reference to the range
on the Platte river. 1t says, 1--WE hold
in the Platte the noblest article of the
worlds commerce, beef Give us but
the brains or genius to place that beef
in the European markets, and there is
no country under the sun that can rival
the Platte. For years, and for long
years, we have been cropping our way
in this meat question, but the solution
must be neal at hand. When it comes
our stock, our camps and our proper
ties will all jump up 100 per cent in
value"
The Mark Lane says this Is a roseate
view, but is not by any mean an I'M
warranted one. Prices of beef steers
were reported at So per head a year
ago, and stock cattle lower in proper
ton. These prices would enable a man
with a moderate amount of capital to
buy a very good stock Of cattle to start
with. The leibig's Extract of Meat
company are said to have Al, 900 head
Of cattle on the river Platte. They
own land amounting to 10, 600 acres,
and they rent $4,000 acres more. The
board of managers or the company have
just decided to sanction the purchase
of 10,5 500 acres at 81, 191. The local
director and the Fray Bentos managers
strongly recommended the purchase.
This is about $3.50 an acre. II they
pay such prices there, the prices de-
manded in the west and south OF 81 to
SO IN acre must be very low, and can
be we'll afforded by the owners of large
stocks of cattle. Hereford cattle are
being exported from England to

The Presbyterian fair was quite as
thronged last evening as the evening be-
fore, though the receipts were not quite
as large. A large number of persons
patronized the supper table, ladies and
gentlemen. Most of the fancy articles

We CLEAN the following items from
the report of ]. Berger, Spence 6 Co.,
of London and Manchester, England,
issued August 10, 1888:
The formation in England and Scot
land Of large companies for the pur-
chase of ranches is reported steadily on
the increase. Two new ones were
formed recently-the Big Horn in Wyo-
ming, and the Oxley in Canada. Re-
ports as to large dividends on many
Scotch companies are favorable, some
being as high as 30 per cent, and from
the large number of two and three-year-
old steers held at present for market.
the figure 80 per cent. is not considered
an e%xtravagant one. This firm declares
that any properly managed cattle ranch,
when bought not above its value, is
sure to pay well. There were imported
from the United States and Canada in
1882, during the months ending
July 81, AZ, 269 oxen and bulls of the
value Of 1896, sos. For the same
period in 1888 the imports of oxen and
bulls, or in other words beef cattle,
were 81, 721 head, valued at 81, 082, 04O
or S113.40 per head.
We are sorry that this circular fails
to give the importation of dead meat
from the United States. 1t, however,
states that from all countries received
for the first seven months of 1882 OF
dead meat fresh, to the value of SO, 745,.
545, and for the corresponding period
of 1888, dead meat fresh, to the value
of SO, 517, 1l5, an increase in dead meal
of nearly SO, 0O0, 900. This increase WI
tregard as a mere trile as to what tn
future import trade in both dressed ant
living meats is destined to reach. Er,
many years Texas alone will furnish t,
Europe more meat than is now re
ceived in Great Britain from all othe
foreign ports yearly, and so long as evel
the present prices hold good, Texa
ranches and cattle are far below thei
real worth.-Fort Worth Journal.

A good sized audience greeted the
Langrlshe company at the opera house,
and laughed with them for a couple of
hours or 80. The plays presented did
not meet with unqualified approval,
and were, in fact, somewhat weak and
lacking in interest. The company, as
a whole, is a fair one, and its members
are conscientious in their desire to
please. Mr.. Langrishe himself is an
excellent comedian, with an enviable
facility of facial expression, and has
the power of calling forth laughter at
will. In 1.-THE Serious Family" which
will be presented tonight, ne will have
a play which will afford a better oppor-
tunity for the display of his powers.

Joseph Haddock, yesterday, after
starting from Dyer's hotel with a pas
senger for the depot, had the misfor-
tune to experience a u off. Before
the team reached Sixteenth street he
managed to spill his passenger out, who
struck a marshy place in the street, his
head striking first. The passenger
managed to regain his feet, but he was
about as horrible a picture as mud
could make him. The horses were
making full time and kicking ~yiciously
until Charles Tinker, who was riding
on horseback, started ahead at full
speed and succeeded in checking them.
Joe, by posing himself dexterously on
his seat, was not thrown out. The
passenger, we believe, was u%ninjured.
