Tux leading newspapers of the United States are just now vieing with each other in complimenting the British squadron which took part in the recent highly sac- cossful naval review at New York. Vice- Aimiral Sir John Hopkins, who was in command of the squadron, appears to have captured all hearts. The New York Sun, two days after the squadron left that port, paid the following graceful compliment to its commander :

“Behind the hack of Vice-Admiral Sir Jobn O. Hopkins, K. ©. B., it is quite proper to sey something that could not be said grace fully te his fece, for the reason that it would make that gallant sailor blesh as red as one of his own lobster marines. Sir Jobn captured New York, and held the people of this town captive as long as his ships swung to the North River tides. His courtesy, his tact, his unfailing disposition to please and to be pleased, om above all, his unmistakable true- blue staff and manliness, completed the con- quest that was begun by the admiration compelled in impartial minds by the appear- ance of the spleadid sea-going aad sea fighting machine which Sir John commands. ‘iood juck attend the Blake, the Australia, the Magicienne, and the little Tartar! Good luck to their commander, and to those under him, The British admiral has done more than any other visiting Englishman in recent years to creat and cement friendship between the two English speaking nations.”

Such language as this makes very pleasant reading, coming as it does from a journal which of all papers in New ¥ ork is most often affected with Anglophobia. The compliment, it is generally conceded | ie well deserved. Sir John went to the United States determined to do all in his power to make the review 4 great success, and how well he has carried out this idea is apparent to all.

While the New York Sun is sounding the praises of Vice-Admiral Sir John Hop- kins, the Boston Traveller, looliug across the water and observing the demonstrations of love and esteem with which the English people greeted their beloved Queen at the opening of the British Imperial Institute, is constrained to remark as follows :

“The demonstrations ot loyalty and affec tion with which Queen Victoria was received in London, at the opening of the British Imperial Institution, must have been very

atifying to her. The Queen has evidently

ont little or nothing of her old popularity, and has the satisfaction of feeling that comparatively few of Her subjects do not regret that her reign is grad- ually drawing to a close. If ever a Brit- ish sovereign ies been beloved, that sovereign is Victoria; avd if we of republican Americs have ever had cause to respect a crewned head, it has been in the case of the good queen empress, who, with her noble husband, was our firm friend during the civil war, and more than ovce quietly exerted her in‘luence in our behalf.”

This expression of esteem, coming from one of the leading newspapers in cultured Boston, is very pleasing, and, taken in con- junction with the references to Sir John Hopkins, indicates that the friendship be- tween these two great English-speaking nations is being more strongly cemented as

time rolls om.

Ifthe New York and Boston papers are striving to see which can be most com- plimentary to the Queen and her represert- atives and other distinguished foreigners, the Washington and Chicago journalists are devoting much of their attention to the doings of President Cleveland, his charm-

ing young wife, and last but by no means least, that very important adjunct to the White House, baby

Ruth: The movements of all three are closely watched, and the most minute details are sent out. The dresses worn by Mrs. Cleveland on state and other occa- sions are described at length, the manner in which baby "uth is attended to, the number of times she is taken out for an airing, the clothing she wears, and all such matters are referred to in detail. Even

the daily food of the occupants of the White House is deemed of sufficient importance to be __ tele-

graphed abroad. While President Cleve- land was in Chicago on the occasion of the opening of the World's Fair, his movo- ments were watched very closely, and the argus-eyed journalists of the Windy City allowed nothing to escape them. In order to show how closely the President's movements are watched, and the import- ance the press of the United States attaches to his every whim and caprice, we have only to quote the following despatch which we find in a recent issue of the San Francisco Chronicle ;

“Curoaco, May 2.—‘Give me a good break- fast,’ President Cleveland said yesterday morning to a waiter at the Lexington. For starter the waiter set down two quarts of Florida-grown strawberries in front of Mr. Cleveland. These the visitor presently put away from the sight of man. Then the waiter appeared with a large boiled Spanish mackerel, which Mr. Cleveland ate in honor of the day he celebrated. Then came a ten- derloin steak, large of area and two inches in thickness. A broiled chicken and several

ieces of toast and generous supplies of

reach fried potatoes disappeared with the steak and mackerel, as did also six cups of coffee. The President had not finished his breakfast when the official notification came that his carriage waited to take him to Jack- son Park.”

Just how much more the President

would have eaten had he not been so abruptly disturbed, must remain a matter of conjecture. We trust, however, that some of the newspapers will be able to **catch” him again, and thus be in a position to give s very much interested people an oppertunity of figuring out what the prospects are for the food supply holding out till the Fair is over !

says ‘weak’ part of the business is not in choos-

ing a non-resident, but one who is unpopu- lar.” With whom is Mr. Morson un- popular! Is it with the electers of tke district who chose him as their standard- bearer? It does not look like it. lf he is at all unpopular, it must be with the Patriot and its polit’cal sympath zers, whe are afraid of him—who ev dently regar him asa very strong man snd an ©x eec- ingly dangerus cpp vent. The ides that the Patriot shouli vl j c Mr Mursou’s candidature on the ground that he is un- popular with the peop’e cf the Firet Dis trict is so ridiculous that cannvt imagine our contemporary intended thet its remarks should be taken in that light, ecient 20> New Bicycle Track.

The Victoria Oycling Club decided a!

their meeting last evening to, pro-

ceed with the construction of the prop sed track without delay. The site chesen is between the cricket and football grounds in Victoria Park. The track is to be 12 feet in width and about 320 yards in length, giving between five and a half and six laps to the mile. Considerable grading will be

necessary to make a level track. The probable _ cost is estimated at about $100, $80 of which has al-

ready been contributed. This is a move- ment in the right direction. A large number of new wheels are being imported this sea- sun; a large number of our young men are adopting the bicycle as a means of taking exercise as well as using them for expedit- ing business, or running to and from their meals. In the evenings they naturally gather round Queen Square, and although it makes a lively scene in that vicinity there is a certain amount of danger, and seme people, although they stand and watch them, object to their being there. The club, alive to their own interests and con- venience as well as that of the public, think the track will draw themaway fromthe Square, and give them a rallying ground, at least where no one can object, beside lend- ing attractions tothe Park. The work is in the hands of an energetic committee,who propose losing no time in making Victoria eycling track an institution of which all eontributors and the citizens generally may justly feel proud. erere

Tus following we clip from an exchange : Mr. Murphy has shown himself to be one of the finest delineators of lrish characters on the American stage to-day, he does not bur- lesque or caricature him. Mr. Murphy’s company are well selected, not a weak char- acter in the cast, each one is fitted for their peculiar role, and they play their parts to perfection.

A Cross Catt.—The Moncton Times says : Mr. Edward Duffy, of Lower Coverdale, had a close call at the railway crossing on lower Lutz street about half-past five on Saturday evening. He was driving up the street, and as he was about to cross the track his rig was struck by a car which was being shunted down the wharf track ahead of the engine. The horse had just cleared the rails when the wagon was struck, and the result was that the train separated horse and wagon in double quick, knocking the wagon to one side of the track and the horse to the other. Mr. Dnufly was in the wagon at the time and was thrown out, lighting within a few inches of the rail. Fortunately, he received no greater injury than being thrown violently to the ground, though his escape from death is miraculous. The wagon was, of course, somewhat demolished, the shafts being broken off and the wheels and axles being badly twisted and broken, The force of the blow knocked the horse clear off the track and sent him rolling over and over several times. He, however, received no serious injury, and on regaining his feet, raw down the track and up Robinson street, but was captured near the Queen Hotel. Those who witnessed the accident regard it as little short of a miracle that man and horse were not both killed. The train wasrunning down slow when the wagon was struck, which probably accounts for Mr. Duffy escaping with his life,

fMHAT the 93 “SWIFT” is the best wheel

made in ENGLAND, and that it is second to none in AMERICA, any unprejudiced wheel- man will say after a fair test of this Machine's powers,

Here are a few plain reasons why the SWIFT, made by the Coventry Machinists’ Company, Coventry, England, the oldest Cycle Manufac- turers in the world, is the acme of all that is great and good in a strictly high-grade wheel:--

‘BECAUSE it is simple, and the adjustment and bearings accurate.

BECAUSE it is light and strong—correct proportions

? not ah give strength

BECAUSE its reller ferged chain reduces friction to a minimum. é

BECAUSE it is pot possible te make a better wheel.

Many more equally strong reasons can be

iven why the “SWIFT” is THE wheel. I will eve a sample wheel here in a few days. Hold your orders until you have seen it. Now is the time to buy the “ SWIFT.”

We all heard how Christopher Columbus, Criven to extremity, asked alms for his son at the door of the Monastery of

have

La Rabida, how he interested the guardian n his plen, how he was sheltered there snd helped in his subsequent uegotiations vith Ferdinand and Isabella, resulting in is discovery of the New World lt was a 1appy thought on the part of the World’s Fair

mm s-ioners to reproduce the monastery ipon the grounds at Chicago, and to place herein all the relics of the discoverer vhich th y cou d obtain.

The structure is plain and quaint, and ull of historical association. The name La Rabida sign'fies in the Moorish language “an outpost on tho frontier,” and the monastery stands in the summit of a low 1eadiand, between the Odiel and Pinto civers near the town of Pelos, Spain. radition sey3 that it was originally erected during the reign of the Roman Emperor Hadrian, in the second century and that it was reconstructed in the eleventh century by the Knights Templar, who occupied it as a fortress, The building passed into the hands of the Franciscan monks when the

Moors were driven from Andalusia. They again remodeled it, and christened it “Sancta Maria de La Rabida,” or the

Monastery of St. Mary of the Frontier. It was enlarged after the death of Columbus, but it has been restored to its original con- dition by the Spanish government. Such as it was when Columbus visited it, such is its fac smile on the grounds of the World’s Fair.

The last appearance of Columbus at the monastry was upon his return to Palos, bringing news and trophies of his great discovery, and most of the visitors enter the building by the same door of the “sanctuary” as did the monks when they sang their bymn of rejoicing on that occasion centuries ago. ‘This ‘‘sanctuary” isa long low room, roughly plastered. Great black beams stand out in contrast

with our white’ walks. The altar has been fitted up by the Fransican monks of the preset an exact representation of that before which

Columbus worshipped. The most notable relic in the room is the battered wooden cross erected by Columbus upon his arrival in America. In old cases arranged along the sides of the rcom are valuable manu- scripts once owned by Columbus, but now owned by the Duke and Duchess of Alba, who loaned them to the World’s Fair Commissioners. Portraits of~ Columbus, together with a large collection of quaint paintings on wood and in rare mosaics, loaned from the Vatican by the Pope, are hung upon the walls. An _ interesting feature of the room is the canoes, hewn out of great logs of wood, in which the Indians are said to have gone to meet the caravels of Columbus on their approach to land.

A flight of two steps leads from the sanctuary to the cloisters. These, both lower and upper rooms, are filled with relics of Columbus, admirably arranged in sections, showing the geographical know- ledge of Columbus and the advancement of the science of navigation at the period in which Columbus lived. Among the most interesting of the fac similes in the first instance is that of the terestrial globe made by Martin Beheim. This bears the date of 1492, and is made of pasteboard covered with parchment. It is about twenty-one inches in diameter. On it the first meri- dian passes through Madeira, and the only other lines are those ot the equator, the two tropics and the polarcircle. In the 83mé room are various maps, showing the world as it is, and the world as Columbus believed it to be. Several relics of the Court of Ferdinand and Isabella are shown in one of the cells. In a case, with several valuable manuscripts, are placed the fac simile of Isabella’s golden sword and the fac simile of her will, An object which attraets the attention of almost every visitor to the monastery is a rusty anchor, This is said to be one of the anchors at- tached to one of Columbus’ ships lost on the coast of Trinidad, and, subsequently recovered. Another aud more interesting relic is the autograph letter of Francisco Roldaz, 15°, which resulted in the dis- grace of Oviuinbus and his return to Spain in chains. Illustrations of the chains are also shown. These chains weigh seven pounds eight ounces, and are divided into four parts. On the fetters and handcuffs are inscriptions of abbreviated words and figures characteristic of the time. These are interpreted as follows :

“The arrow of calumny gave these shackles to Don Christopher Columbus, the dove that carried the tiding of Christianity to the New World, who died at my house, Aposento, Valladolid, May, 1506, in the peace of Christ,”

The ‘‘Sepulcher Room” is devoted to relics of the last days and the death of Columbus. The house in which Columbus died is shown ina eketch. The housg, it may-be interesting te know, is still standing in Valladolid, Spain. It is a plain struc- ture, its most interesting feature, until recently, being a sign over the duor, “Cows’ and asses’ milk for sale within,” Ateone end of the ‘‘Sepulcher Room” is an enclosure within which are placed photo- graphs of the ptaces at which the bones of

clumbus are said to have, at different times, been deposited. A fac smile of the box in which the remains of Columbus were found is als> shown, together with a fac smile of the casket in which his dust now rests in the cathedral at Havana.

The Duke of Veragua has loaned to the **Monastery” a large and valuable collection of valuable papers pertaining to Columbus, Among them is a letter from the King of Por- tugal, the original commission given to Col- umbus by Ferdinand and Isabelia upon his first voyage to the New World; a long list of royal letters patent from the sovereigns of Spain, a letter from Queen Isabella to Colum- bus, including a copy of a book which he had left with her, asking him to send her a certain sailing chart, and urging hin not to delay his departure. The will of Columbus is also in- cluded in this collection.

Even more interesting than the papers loaned by the Duke are those which the “Monastery” has obtained through the kind- ness of the Duchess of Berwick and Alba who is also a descendant of the great discov: erer, The original agreement between Col- umbus and the Spanish sovereigns, the origi- nal autographic statements by Columbus of
