think that six feet Of snow had fallen on

The drifts on the streets in places are ten
feet deep. Cumberland street looks like river
that has overHowed its banks and locomotion
Of all kinds is impossible except with snow
shoes. Yesterdays east-bound train is showed
up at Savanna and nothing but the telegraph
line is left to Indicate that there is a Canadian
Pacific railway.
Ex-Counsellor Banks left yesterday for Silver
Isle with a team and load OF hay. He in
tended TO make Grand Traverse, across the bay,
and call at the Thunder Cave light house. The
storm came up before he could have made half
the sixteen miles, and it is feared by many
that instead Of making Traverse he has crossed

Thursday afternoon. the Teutonic at 100 and
her rival half an hour later. according to the
cables. but the City of Paris agents claim that
she really did not get away until 2:35, or over
an hour after the Teutonic.
There was much interest in the race although
the quick time was not expected. This is the
last trip of the City of Paris from Queenstown,
and it was because she will never again meet
her old rival in a Transatlantic race that steam
shlpmen and the public generally were anxious
to learn which got into port first.

There is trouble over the inaugural stands
around the treasury building. Ii has been dis
covered that spectators have procured soIae OF
the best seats and are asking fancy prices for
them. Chief Clerk Stocks. who has had
charge of the distribution of these ticke.s.
has instituted an investigation, with
view TO checkmatlng the scheme.
IL Was found that a cigar dealer opposite sna
treasury building had four tickets. which

therefore, TO scale the applications down. but
1t was done so To apporiion the seat sfairly to
