An Exciting Contest.

Monday afternoon one of the large iron
grey horses belonging to the Horse Railroad
Co. was attacked with the blind staggers
on Pearl street while attached to car. The
horse is large and powerful, and it looked as
if he would do a good deal of damage before
getting through. Charles Reer, the express
man, was passing, and held the horse while
he was being removed from the car. Then
the circus began. The horse plunged around
the street in all directions, scattering the
crowd and frightening the men, with the ex-
ception of Reer, who kept his hold. Three
times he threw the horse to the ground, but
could not hold him. Finally the horse and
man went down together, but the man came
out on top and with assistance subdued the
animal.
Had it not been for Mr.. Reer considerable
damage would have been inevitable and a
great deal of injury might have been done,
as no one else present could handle the
horse

LOSS OF THE CLARA s.
The Whaling Steamer Dolphin
Rescues the Crew.

The schooner Clara S., Capt. George Lock
hart, left Boston for Portland Monday. Yes
terday morning, when twelve miles south by
east from Boon Island, the vessal sprang
aleak. This was at 2 o'clock. At 4 o'clock
the vessel leaked so badly it became neces-
sary to cut away the mainmast in order to
prevent the vessel from rolling over. Capt
j. E. Coleman, of the whaling steamer Dol
phin, espied the Clara S. in her precarious
condition, and all haste was made to reach
the vessel and get her in, but the efforts were
of no avail, land before a line could be thrown
to the schooner she foundered and left the
crew struggling in the waves. Capt Cole
man and crew put out the boats and went to
the rescue of the sailors, who were visible
among the wreckage. Part of the crew were
saved by the boats of the Dolphin, and the
remainder managed to reach their boats and
row to the steamer. The Clara S. was 60
tons, land carried whiting and general cargo.
She was not insured Capt Lockhart speaks
in the highest terms Of Capt. Coleman and
the seamen of the Dolphin.
