queer things are added TO the ones which
America already has. the SUI total is
startling.
OF course all the new things from the

country. The newest thing in New York

Annual Amateur Championship Games.
/, The amateur championship games At
Analostan island, Washington, ID. c., Oct.
Al, will be an unusually important event
In the world Of athletics. There will be
nineteen events on the programme. includ.
ing six distances at fat running. two at
hurdle racing, two at walking, one at bi.
cycling, three at weight throwing, three
ct jumping and two at tug of war. The
great rivalry among the most prominent
athletic clubs Of the United States will be
settled for the ensuing year on this day,
and these organizations are leaving no
stoneu nturned To strengthen their teams.
In the 100 aud 30 yards runs the most
prominent contestants will be Luther Cary,
Fred Westing, Mortimer Remington, Of
the Manhattan Athletic club; John Owen,
Jr.. the present champion at these two DIS
tances, and Harry Jewett, Of the Detroit
Athletic club, and perhaps c. II. Sherri'l,
of the New York Athletic club. These are
the fastest men in the United States, ard
the championship at both these distances
will not go outside Of them. IL is thought
that Cary. Owen and Jewett have the best
chance of coming to the front,
Remington and J. S. Roddy, of the Man
hattans, and W. c. Downs and W. c. Dohm,
of the New York Athletic club. are the
most formidable contestants in the 40
yards class. The chances are that either
Downs or Remington will be the victor.
These same men, with George :. Tracey. Of

RAILWAYS BLOcKADEo AND THE
TRACK CARRIED AWAY.

WATERTowN, N. v, Sept. 13.-The
rain which has fallen in torrents almost
continually for five dayspast has swollen
every stream in this section to spring
frcshct height and to-day the effects are
seriously felt, hereabouts by an almost
complete tying up of the Rome, Water
town and Ogdcnsburg railway and its
branches, and .!'c. destruction of mills
and farm property.
A big washout occurred on the Rome,
Watertown and Ogdensburg between
Mansulle and Pierrepont, in this county,
last night, the flood carving away the
track for about thirty feet and making a
deep channel across the line.
A new iron bridge which had Just been
completed at Centreville, one mile west of
Richland on the Rome branch, was also
carried away during the night.
This morning one of the stone abut-
ments was washed away and the other
will go now.
Near Deer river, west of Carthage on
the Utica and Black river division, there
is another washout, but this will be re-
paired within few hours.
At present direct railway and mail com
munication from northern New York is
