Hanlan again Victorious. PLAYING WITH HOSMER AND LEE.

The Hanlan, Hosmer and Lea race at Milton, New York, on the 26th inst., was witnessed by from 3,000 to 5,000 people. The course, three quarters of a mile, was rowed over twice. The race was called for 4 o'clock and rowed at 5. The positions in the draw, were Lee first, Hosmer second and Hanlan third. The oarsmen were called to positions at 5 o'clock. They started at 56 seconds past five. All took water together, Hanian and Lee pulling 34 and Hosmer 36 strokes. The trio kept even for the first half mile. Hanlan then drew ahead with Hosmer a trifle ahead of Lee. Harlan turned the stake in minutes, and Hosmer 10 seconds later with Lee 5 seconds behind him. Back to the start, Hanlan drew well to the front of Hosmer and Lee, between whom there was a fine struggle. At a quarter of a mile from the start, Hanlan slowed up and the others gained on him. Hanlan turned the starting point four lengths ahead of his competitors, in 9 minutes and 34 seconds, Hosmer and Lee turning together. After turning, Hanlan stopped rowing, took a drink of water and started again, Hanlan being two lengths best of Hosmer and Lee. The three went in the same position to the quarter, when Hanlan crossed into Lee’s water, when he towed to the turning stake. Lee and Hosmer kept up a fine struggle all the way

mS

uy. Hanlan turned the stake in 14 minutes and 50 seconds and Lee, who had gone to the fore, 10

seconds jater,with Hosmer 2 seconds behind him. Hanlan spurted after all three had turned, and gaining a good lead, settled down to twenty-eight strokes. Hosmer shortly after turning spurted and was soon alongside of Lee; both pulled a fine race all the way back and about a quarter of a mile from the finish both drew up to Hanlan and the three rowed side by side a short distance, when Hanlan by a few strong strokes opened a lead cf several lengths ahead of Hosmer, who was a shell’s length ahead of Lee. When a few rods from the finish, Hanlan quickened h’s stroke and crossed the score the winner. Hosmer was one and a half lengths ahead of Lee. Time—Hanlan, 19 min. 49 sec.; Hlosmer 19 mii. 50 sec; Lee 19 min. 51 sec. Our Advertisers.

rue THRILLING

The Captain laughed a pleasant ripple, and made no remark, Arriving at a point opposite the ‘‘Maid of the Mist” landing, he rapidly divested himself of all clothing, leaving only a pair of red cotton swimming drawers of the smallest possible size. There were not a great many spectators, five or six hundred persons being on the bridge, and a thin scattering along the banks. The excitement now became intense. ‘‘He is up and ready” was the ery. ‘‘He has dived, and is in the water,” quickly follow- ed. This was at two minutes past four, Toronto time. The Captain swam leisurely down the swollen current with a bold stroke. and he made rapid headway. Arriving at the site of the new Canada Southern bridge he felt the first touch of the rapids. The river here is very narrow, about 500 feet wide, and it narrows to about 300 feet just at the commencement of the rapids, a little before the Suspension Rridge. At the foot ef the masonry now slowly rising on the American side the first rapid is formed by the current there striking the shore and rising in waves.

AN IMPETUOUS CURRENT.

Down through this he sped, and six min- utes after his dive he passed underneath the Suspension Bridge. Here his speed was sensibly accelerated, and the rising billows lifted him gently up and allowed him to fall as tenderly as a mother would rock her child. Just below the bridge the stream rapidly widens to about 500 feet and as quickly returns to its former width, assum- ing the shape af an oval with two narrow necks, the inlet and the outlet. The cur- rent increases in intensity, the long pent- up under-streanis formed by the mighty horseshoe fall showing to the surface, and giving a presage of what may be expected below. Down the stream the Natant hurried on his way, now rising on the crest of a wave and anon sinking in the hollow. The water wes clear, and every movement of the bold adventurer was visible from the banks, the grace and ease of his movements expressing confidence in himself and in- spiring the same sentiment in the breasts of all his beholders. The narrowing banks about a quarter of a mile below the old Suspension Bridge, and the impetuous rush of a resistless water, cause currents to al- ternately set toward and from the shore. The rushing water attacks both shores with such fury that it seems to pile itself on the banks, leaving a depression in the centre of the current. The current now increases in speed, and still the brave man stems his way along. If it was stormy above, it is now an angry sea of waters, though for half a mile it preserves its general contour and characteristics already described.

RAGING WATERS.

The rising currents now seem to meet and strike each other with the force of mighty pugilists, causing the foam to rise, counter curreuts to form, and the waves to swell with resistless energy. Still Webb pursued the even tenor of his way. Struck by a wave he momentarily is tempted to put forth his strength, and afew graceful strokes brings him to the surface and on his course again. Now he is engulfed in the sinking current, and, to the horror of the spectators on the banks, he goes out of sight for 150 yards. Every moment his speed increases, and, if it was fast a moment ago, now it is furious, and the con- tending waves strike each other such mighty blows that the giants seem to roll under the shock. About a quarter of a mile from the whirlpool there is a sudden contraction and bend in the river, and here are the last rapids before those at the entrance of the whirlpool are reached. At this point the river gtrikes the American shore with a fury seemed to be born of despair, and the hearts of the anxious spectators quail with dismay as the shouts along the shore indicates the coming of the gallant voyager. Now his head shows itself over the crests of the advancing waves—the trying moment arrives.

A MOMENTARY SUBMERSION.

His course veers as he feels the influence of the seemingly attracting point, and the awful plunge ismade ‘‘He sinks,” was the heartrendering cry, but only for a moment, and on he comes through a couple of hund- red yards of comparatively smooth water, and he is seen to advance to: the last awful cataract. If it was a storm before at the entrance of the whirlpool, the river is as a torrent lashed to fury by a thousand hurri- canes. The billows rise and fall, the speeding foam forms and spreads, the eddies | mingle, the returning currents engage ina deadly wrestle, and a panorama of conflict is spread open. Strange to relate, the forces are apparently not constant, and the tide of fury waxes and wanes, flows and ebbs in regular alternations, The Whirl- pool spreads out in an almost circular pool by a broad sweep to the west, round to the north, and back toward the south by the east. The river enters at the south end, the giant stream rushes past the exit on the east on its headlong course, and the north shore spreads out and divides the current in two, the one returning south by east, ard passing out of the exit, while the other comes round by the west and returns to the strife with aggregated fury, and precipitates | itself

Sir,—I beg leave to correct a misstate- ment made in the Patriot yesterday regard- ing the logs of the barque ‘‘Marcopolo”’ at Cavendish Cape. It states, on what authority I know not, that “the crew and passengers (two ladies) were saved.” There were no lady or gentleman passengers on board the ship, therefore no lady or gentle- men passengers were in peril. 1 arrived in the city yesterday at noon. Had the Patriot reporter called upon me, 1 could give him correct information.

Yours, etc., P. F. Butt, Captain, ship ‘‘Marcopolo.” Rankin House, July 28, 1883. -?-—<—-P-

Sir,—-The excitement over the Scott Act during the month has become quite an epidemic. An outsider would imagine that there is money in the business. Your cor- respondent of yesterday, 1t would seem to me, takes a /ive/y interest in the matter and seems to rejoice over the present state of society, and would make it appear that all hands are having a boss time enjoying themselves as children would over a Christ- mas tree. But in handling the great question as he does, in a slap-dash sort-of-a way-style, he certainly ought not to treat the bench of justices and the whole police force in so contempt- ible a manner, as there is nothing to be gained by that. lf he thinks that any goed can possibly be the result of such sarcasm he will find that he has made a very great mistake. If he anticipates gaining a point by branding the inhabitants of Charlottetown as one large family of drunkards, ready and willing to counten- ance the growing evil of intemperance, then I would say that he stands apon dangerous ground, and will miss his aim. To put down the liquor traflic, or at least to enforce more stringent regulations as reyarde the sale of stimulants, is much to be desired, and will be admitted by every right think- ing man in the land, but in doing so, save the pieces, and, mind, let there be no carpet shaking, let there be no difference made between the poor man’s whiskey and the aristocratic champagne, serve all alike. A check can be made, but not made anything the less dangerous by a sort of fencing out process, when there are staunch supports left which still keeps ram in its place. When ‘‘Citizen” has travelled further out- side of Charlottetown than he has, he will probably learn the way to use more oil and less vinegar. I would ask him to give the matter a fair show, and I am_ willing to follow in his wake.

Yours respectfully, SpzciaL BLEND.

The great Brooklyn ,bridge is a financial failure. The interest on the bridge bonds and the working expenses reach $1,169,000 a year, and the income is only coming in at the rate of $405,000 per annum. As the receipts do not amount to so much as one- half of the interest, the chances of paying off the principal, which falls due from 1899 tv, 1924, are slim. It is now proposed in order to overcome the difficulty, not that the tolls be increased, but that the twin cities, which the bridge joins, shall assume the responsibility of maintaining it and of paying the interest and the debt upon if, at the same time making the concern free to all pedestrians, just as any other public highway is free. The proposal means the addition of $11,500,000 to the joint debts of New York and Brooklyn, and of $1,169,000 to the annual expenses. This is a rather high fine to pay for the privi- lege of owning a bridge which is so lofty that it is too hot for public use in summer and too cold for use in winter.
