Peril of British Ship in an Electric al
 Storm Off Cape Horn.

A strong, sulpurous cdor hung around the vessel, and the water was churned up so that it swept over the deck.
 The ship was uninjured, but 1t wa; tihuee weeks before she could ge. around the horn. The vessel had been given up for lost and 121a guineae were paid for reinsurance.

The Portland Horse Lucky Roy

Lucky Roy, the horse which has been
making a fine record during this season
is owned by Mr.. Mute Trefethen of this
city. This horse has about as good a
breeding as any animal in the state. His
sire is Roy Wilkes and every one knows
what gamey blood this is. Lucky Roy
has landed a good many fast races his
season and the horsemen in this city
think he is conner on any track. He be-
gan the season with record of 2.27 IA
and at Gorham last week he landed a
very closely contested seven heat race and
gave himself new mark of 2.24 IA.
Lucky Roy will probably be seen at Rigby
next season, and if he does enter on this
track will certainly clip a good many
seconds off his present mark. There are
2.12 at least on this fine track. He is only
four years old and makes fine running
mate for the handsome mare Julia, also
owned by Mr.. Trefethen.
