, seconds ahead of Deerfoot’s time, running the ten miles in 51 minutes and 20 seconds. | His condition at the finish astonished every one, and it was freely asserted that if he had not been runaing against time, but had | been pushed by a competitor, he would ‘have lowered the record several seconds more, and put it down possibly to 51 minutes. On the other hand, it was as- serted that when Deerfoot made his record he ran more within his speed than George did, and that the latter, to prove himself the better runner, would have to beat Deer- foot’s distance for an hour. This was 11 miles 970 yards, and was made with such apparent ease that scores of sporting men were ready to wager that Deerfoot could make twelve miles. George was put on his mettle, and consented to train for a public attempt to beat the hour record. The at- tempt was set down forthe 28th ult., was extensively advertised, and drew an im- mense crowd, George went to the mark in fine condition, and ran with great confidence and strength. He finished fresh and with plenty of wind, but fell short of Deerfoot’s distance by 38 yards, having accompliehed 11 miles and 932 yards only. George, it is said, was surprised at the result, having supposed that he had slightly exceeded the record. He is said to be determined to make another trial.

A Singular Elopement.
A TORONTO MAN ARRESTED ON A CHARGE OF ABDUCTING HIS OWN WIFE.
A curious case occurred at Toronto on the 26th July, when St. Clair Rutland was arrested for the abduction of his own wife, Minnie Edno Geare, aged 18. She be- came engaged to Rutland, and was subse- quently married to him without the consent of her parents. As Rutland is a mere boy he had no means of supporting his wife, and she went back to her parents’ house. Rutland then signed an agreement to take no advantage of the marriage con- tract if Edna's parents would allow him to see her in their presence, and to corres- pond, This arrangement was carried out
actions, felt greatly surprised. The young lady is about eighteen years of age,
Several doctors have expressed ihem- selves as puzzled with the case, and she will be taken to Boston to visit some of the lights of the medical profession to see if any relief can be afforded.

The Kolapore Cup.
Says the New York Sun editorially :-— “The winaing of the Kolapore Cup by the Canadians at Wimbledon is the reward cf very earnest effort for this coveted trophy of markmanship. But why do not our friends and neighbors of the Dominion sometimes send their sharp shooters to con- tend with ours at Creedmoor! We need very much the stimulas of international competition on the Long Island range, and apparently shall have none there this year. It is true that the prizes offered at Wimble- don are most covetable, while those at Creedmoor would hardly repay the expenses of a journey from Canada, even were there a chance of sweeping cff a good share of them. But if the Canadians are tempted to the long ocean voyage, year after year, by the material rewards as well as the honors of Wimbledon, they would at jeast be sure of as sharp competition as they desired at Creedmoor,”

Dr. Chapman’s Cholera Cure.
The St. James’ Gareite says: ‘One of the numerous correspondents who write about cholera treatment expresses the hope that the method which Dr. John Chapman, of Paris, went to Southampton (and perhaps elsewhere) to introduce during the epidemic of 1865, and which produced such astonish. ing recoveries fromthe pulseless stage of collapse by the simultancous application of external cold and heat to the body, will not be lost sight of by English physicians, should we unhappily be visited by the plague this autump. The medical men of Southampton were at that time unanimous in their praise of Dr. Ohapman’s discovery ; awl Sir Andrew Clarke and many others wrote at considerable length in its favor in 1866,”

Maud 8S. has made some remarkable per- formances in Cleveland, uot in efforts io beat her record, as erroneously stated, bu! simply while exercising and from pure love of going. Capt. George M. Stone, who has the mare in charge, received an ore: from Mr, Vanderbilt to send Mand &. to Saratoga without delay. This is a great disappointment to horsemen in Cleveland who have watched her, and who say she is really faster to-day than she ever was be- fore, and that if she should be really sent to lower the record, she could do it without straining herself. ‘‘I will show you what she did the other day,” said Capt. Stone, taking out his note book. ‘We gave her two miles for exercise, which she took with the utmost ease, going to the first quarter in the first mile in 32} seconds, the half mile in 1.03}, the three quarters in 1.364 and the mile in 2.12}. She reached the quarter on the seeond mile in 32} seconds, the half in 1.04, the three-quarters in 1.36}, and the mile in 2.12}, making the second mile in exactly the same time as the first without turning a hair.”
