Domeatinafad Wild naese

j Harry Smith. at the mouth.of Club
foot creek. has the biggest flock OF tanned
wild geese it has ever been our luck to
behold We saw them in a pond in his
field swimming around in their antics.
From the best count we could make in
their frolicsome manner there are about
twenty in the flock. In this connection
we mention two peculiarities of the wild
goose which may not be known TO the
general reader. One is that they do not
mate until they arc 3 years old. conse-
quently can not be raised from till the
third year. The second singularity of
this species is that if one loses its mate
1T never takes another. Second mar
riage is not tolerated by them. -NesC-

the early part of the session. Foreign
advices showed little change excepting for
lard which was quoted as higher. Eastern
markets were easier and prices lower in
sympathy and the weakness manifested
here. The shipping demand was
moderate and. orders chiefly for small
quantities. The receipts of product were
somewhat larger, and shipments exhibited
a material increase. Toward the close a
steadier feeling prevailed, and prices were
slightly improved. Trading was not 80
active in the more deferred futures. Ira
ding was fairly active in the market for
mess pork, but the feeling was unsettled
during the greater portion of the session.
Offerings were moderately large, and the
inquiry was fairly active. The market
opened rather weak at 1215@15c decline,
and further reduction of 1212@15c was
quickly established. Later the market raj
lied 5@71ac, but the offerings were
increased, and a reduction of 1215 q 15c
was submitted to. Toward the close the
market rallied again 5@715c and finally
closed comparatively steady. The shipping
demand was moderate. Prices we're 215@
sc higher on the call.
A good business was transacted in the
lard market, but the feeling was somewhat
unsettled and prices irregular. The
offerings at times were quite free and the
speculative demand fairly active. At the
opening the market was weak and Sc
lower per 100 pounds than at the close of
yesterday, and further reduction of
12L@15c was submitted to. Later
the market rallied 5@715o, but
soon weakened again with an
additional reduction of 1215@15c. Near
the close the market was stronger, but the
improvement in prices was slight. The
shipping demand was fair. The tone
during the afternoon was Slightly i'm

higher.

Cicinn6ts Regatta.

CINCINNATI, o., Sept.11-The regatta for
a purse of $1,000 offered by the Enquirer
company, divided into four prizes, for
single shells over a course of three miles
on the Ohio river, took place this after
noon. The eleven entries were divided
into two classes, the first class to row over
the course and then the second class. The
best three of these two classes were to row
the third heat. The sickaess of Briceland
delayed the start more than an hour. The
water was in good condition and the banks
were crowded with spectators. Judge n.
Longworth and E. II Murphy were the
judges and E. 3. Ellard referee.
Hossmer came in first in the first heat,
Priddy second, Briceland third. Weber,
Plaisted and Weisgarber were out. Hos
mer's time was 22:lO, Priddy's 22:1S and
Briceland's 22:42.
In the next class Riley came in first in

third in 22:27I. Knoke and Riley we're
declared out.
Third class came in thus: Hosmer first
in % minutes, Lee second in 22:10, Lay
berger third, time not taken, Priddy fourth.
The prizes were awarded to these four in
the order named.
Hanlon rowed an exhibition heat over
the same course, and his time was 20:47I
When it is remembered that the first half
was up stream against the current, this
makes good time. The exhibition was
greeted with cheers along almost the entire
course. Besides this heat he made num-
ber of exhibition rows across and up and
down the river in the vicinity of the flag
boat.
