A Novelty in Ice Cream.

Among the novelties, and not the least of the successes, at La Chocolatiere last week was the introduction of the celebrated Ma plecroft cream, which was served in neat pa- per boxes, accompanied by a tiny spoon. This cream was served during the concert by lads passing among he audience. The man agers supposed liberal supply had been provided, but the cream proved 30 superior that the stock was exhausted in very short time and many were unable to obtain it. This cream is becoming much used at pri- vate receptions, card parties, etc., and is fast becoming recognized as the finest cream ever used here.
 The local agent, w. L. Everit, jr., corner Grove and Orange streets, has had so many calls for it since last Friday that he has de- cided to carry supply in stock sufficient to meet demands for table use, while for par ties, sociables, etc., it can be supplied at a day's notice

MECHANICS, COURSE.

Professor Brewers Lecture Last
 Nfght-The American Race Horse.
 A we'll filled lecture room greeted Profess BOT Brewer when he stepped upon the plat form of the North Sheffield hall last evening. The professor began his lecture with B few remarks on the original home of the horse, Arabia. In the course of the talk he said the horse was believed by the Arabs, and said by Mahomet, to be originated from the wind by the command of Allah. Almost every power was attributed to it as well as the greatest good. The Arabs thought that the only pleasures of mankind that the angels took any interest in were connubial enjoyment and exercise with the horse. There was great deal of racing in Arabia but very little betting, and there is DO doubt that the Arab horse is the progenitor of the English thoroughbred. A certain species has been discovered in Central Asia from which it is thought our horses are directly descended. Racing was early fashionable in England, but it died out when the heavy ar nor of the middle ages compelled the horse men to breed larger and slower variety It was again introduced when armor was made useless by firearms, and wherever there are horses there will be racing.
 At the close of the lecture several fine views of horses were shown and the audience retired well pleased.
 The next lecture will be given on Friday evening when Hon. c. M. Ingersoll will give his "Leaves from the Diary of Young Man in Moscow in 1849."

 It has always been my endeavor to please the public in their love for the beautiful in the way of cut flowers, blooming plants and in floral decorations; and the liberal patron age which have received during the month that has just past has been very gratifying to me and will stimulate me to please my pa irons better in the future, if possible. And l take this method of expressing my appre- citation of the very generous patronage be- slowed and shall strive in the future, as in the past, to still further meet the demands and taste, to the best of my ability, of the public in every department of my business. For this season just opening-for the ''fow- CTS that bloom in the spring" will surely do so this spring despite the present blizzard--I shall have an unequalled supply in every de- partment, including all the bedding plants, the filling of vases, for which I have an inn mense stock, and the supplying of floral pieces for every occasion.

 ternoon.
 A correspondent in the News suggests that benefit for the navy be given similar to the one several years ago under the direction of MT. s. B. Barrett, of Boston, at which there were living representatives of beautiful stat uary, exquisite paintings and gorgeous tab leaux.
 The officers of the navy have signifed their willingness to present two old shells to Will liston seminary in case boat club is formed there.
 The winter athletic games begin to-day and will undoubtedly be more than usually successful, both in consequence of the in- creased interest taken in general athletics and in consequence of the large number of entries The events the programme have already been given in the COURIER Neither Brooks nor Hamilton '86 both of whom have distinguished themselves in track athletics in the past. will train for the intercollegiate games at Mott Haven.
