We are indebted to Mr.. EGGERr, the In
spector of the Quarantine Station, for the
following information regarding a marine
monster. Yesterday afternoon at about 5
o'clock, says our informant, the foreman Of
the carpenters now engaged building a new
house on the Quarantine grounds, discovered
a trunk turtle" on shore at a place called
Soldier Bay. On hearing this, all hands,
together with the Inspector, proceeded to
the spot, and found there an animal of very
large size-so big in fact that it required the
combined efforts of seven men to- turn it. 1t
measures seven feet in length and three feet
across the stomach, its weight being COM
puted at 500 lbs. Those of our readers who
may wish to see this unusually large carapace

likely that Mr.. Montbrun's cause Of complaint
would he removed. The difference between
the ages of the competitors, the Trinidad man
being only %, rendered many of the
spectators less sanguine than tho seniors

was not in it, although at one time, it looked
as if Butts had broken down his speed hav-
