NOT FOR HIS OWN BENEFIT.

Major John was a stalwart, ruddy,
middleaged gentleman, fond of good
clothes and good cheer. He had
the habit of going into the village
tavern about Il o'clock in full dress
and taking his repast alone in great
dignity, with something to drink as
we'll as eat. One morning, some
where near 1880, the parson, who
was about on temperance mission,
found him at table, surrounded by
his viands.
'Major john" he said, ~ wish
you would sign this temperance
pledge, not of course because you
need it, but for the benefit of the
rising generation, you know"
'sCertainly, parspn," said Major
John. "Bring me pen, land
lord"
So the Major wrote his name IN a
bold hand and the parson went his
way rejoicing for the new sheep in
the temperance fold. But the very
next week the parson, IN that very
same tavern, found Major John at
the very same table, taking, his
breakfast, and with not one bottle
less.
"Why, Major" he cried, "you
signed the temperance pledge last
week."
$50 l did, parson," says Major
John shut then did it, you know,

THE ROWING EXHIBITION.
O'COnnor beaten In Race with a
Myrtle Crew.

The Myrtle Boat Clubs house
was comfortably .thronged Saturday
afternoon, with members, their
lady friends, and others, to see w.
O'Connor's rowing exhibition. The
warships, merchant vessels, and
wharves had also crowds of onloOk.
crs. Crews from the Myrtle Club
were ailoat at the hour appointed,
$3.50, in their boats-thc Alice NJ.
and the Stranger, six-oarcd, and The
All. Rogers, four-oarcd.
O'Connor shortly .ftcrward
launched his shcll--a handsome one
of Spanish cedar, covered with oiled
silk, weighing 20 pounds, and hay
ing near each end short keel piece
of thin brass plate. The oarsman is
a stout, muscular man, height 8 #.
l0l in, weight 1913 lbs. When he
got into his shell the Myrtle crews
pulled away rapidly toward the head
of the harbor, and O'Connor follow
ed them pulling an easy stroke hut
not taking straight course.
In few minutes the red shirts of
the Alice M. rcappeared round the
corner of the Intcr-Island wharf,
and O'Connor in pursuit showed
that the race was in progress. The
crew consisted of Alt. w. Carter
(stroke), Carl Widemann, Alex.
Lyle, +. Wodehouse, Alex. Robert
son, Jas. Spencer (bow), and Chas.
Herrick (coxswain). The Myrtlcs
were leading and steadily in
creasing the gap between them
and the sculler. At the turning
buoy beyond the boathousc they
we've two or three lengths ahead.
O'Connor gained nothing but rather
lost on the home stretch, and off the
Inter Island wharf upset his shell
and pumped into the water. lie
soon righted the boat and returned
with steady but not lively stroke
to the boathouse.
After the Myrtles and their guest
had rubbed themselves down and
redressed, they repaired to the
rooms upstairs. Mr.. w. II. Mon.
sarrat called Mr.. O'Connor forward
and, with an expression of hope that
he would be welcomed n victor on
his return from the Colonies, pre-
sented him with purse of 500
wrapped in the colors OF the club.
Mr.. OConnor in replying said he
had not expected to meet such Gnc
boat club $50 far from civiisation.
The crew was the first one of ANA.
teurs that had ever been able even
to hold him. lie was not in practice
and the rowlocks of his new boat
worked stitily, but he hoped or
his return to be in better condition
forgiving them race.
Three cheers and tiger were
| given for O'Connor and members OF
the club assisted him in wrapping
up his shell and then carried it round
to the steamer Mariposa.
O'Connor in conversation with
our reporter ssid he had no races
fixed in Australia. He would issue
general challenge and, TO secure
the championship, would probably
have to meet and beat Kemp, Mat.
terson, and Stansbury. To mem
Der Of the Myrtle Club he said hi
was not well when defeated by
Searle. He only weighed lj9 lbs
and, although holding the now ia
mented champion mile, had no
the staying power to keep up hi
pace.
