H \NLAN'S, THE GREATBST ACHIEVEMENT EVER SEEN IN BRITISH WATERS.
Lonpon, June 17.
_ Yesterday at noon an event that bas been
creating much interest and even sensation ‘in sporting circles in England came off on ithe Tyne championship course, between ‘Edward Hanlan, of Toronto, and the Eng- | lish champion, William Elliott, when they ‘rowed a single scull race from a point 15 yards above High Level Bridge to Scotts- wood Suspension Bridge, a distance of three miles and fifty s:ven yards,for £400 and the Sportsman Champion cup. The result was an easy victory for the Canadian Champion. and has created a good deal of surprise and excitement, although anticipated by many. From the time the match was made great interest was manifested, which continued until the day of the race. <A large amount of money had been steked on the race, the odds being throughout very much in favor of the Canadian Champion, he having had the callat 100 to 30. The morning of the race 5 to 2 was laid on Hanlan, and just before the start he wasin much better favor.
Both of the men have been in thorough training since the match was made. The day before the race Elliott declared him- self to have never been in so good condition before, and Hanlan was excellent.
Newcastle was thronged with strangers, who came to see the boat race, and it is ad- mitted by all that never before had so great a crowd assembled to witness any boat race en the Tyne course. Every favor- able position for viewing the course from the river banks was taken up the night be- fore, and all the morning of the race excur- sion trains kept carrying to the cfty eager crowds of people. It is computed that there were between 70,000 to 80,000 pre sent to witness the race. The docks, ship- yards, bridges and meadows were covered with a dense and surging crowd of human beings all the morning, and on the water the steamers, tugs and every available craft was laden to the waters edge with hnman freight.
THE RACE,
The morning dawned dull and dark, but there was every indication of dry, fine weather; and as the day advanced the river was crowded with crafts of all kinds from a small punt to a hughe steam collier, fitted up for the event. At 11 o'clock the river police commenced the task of clearing the cow'se, so as to prevent delay, and by 11.30 they had accomplished their difficult job. Shortly after the stake-boats were moored opposite the Mansion House, in the middle of the river, and the ‘‘ Gateshead,” having on board the refree, judges and a number of others, took up her position.
Elliott stepped into his shell first, being assisted by Renforth and McGregor, and was greeted with shouts fronf tens of thou- sands of hisadmirers. Hanlan got into his boat on the Gateshead side of the river,ard was also heartily applauded. They then pulled leisurely to the stake-boat and peeled for the struggle before them. Elliott
STRIPPED TO THE SKIN.
Hanlan was dressed in a dark blue sieeve- less jersey. Hanlan appeared in perfect condition, and his opponent showed re- markably good form and muscular develop- ment. When the (afeshead steamed up to the starting point, the contestants followed and took up their positions a few moments after, and their respective cutters came up behind them. The toss was won by Elliott, who chose the northern shore. All was now in readiness, and, after the pre- liminaries had been arranged, the men were given the word, and
GOT OFF at 12.15, making a beautiful start. Elliott took {water first, and dashed off at 40 strokes per ininute, putting forth all his great strength, but still not making his boat move well, as he splashed now and then. Hanlan went off at a stroke of 42 to the minute, reaching away forward with his long, sweeping stroke, and immediately drew to the front. The struggle that fol- lowed was intensely exciting, and both the men pulled in remarkably fine form. Elliett’s rowing was nearly perfect, but it was apparent that the Canadian’s style of rowing was by far the best, and, at the conclusion of the first half mile, Hanian was a length ahead and pulling a winning race, having led by a half length for the first fifty and one hundred yards. From this on Hanlan had a good lead, and kept it easily, Elliott only making a spurt at the meadows, where he put on a magnificent burst of speed, driving his boat rapidly throwzh the water—but all in vain.. At Elswick Gangway, Hanlaa lowered his stroke to 32, finding he had a safe race, while Elliott was rowing 35 and giving evi- dence of wild rowing. He also steered badly ; Hanlan steered well. At the head of the meadows, Hanlan had a lead of five lengths, and when off Benwell Boat House, a short distance past Paradise Quay, he stopped, looked around him to see what distance there was to cover, smiiing pleas- antly to the crowd the while, and then toek up his oars—rowing a powerful stroke that

isent the frail shell forging through the | water at great speed. He rowed under Scottswood Bridge amid uproarious cheers
and deafening plaudits, the winner of the race by 10 lengths, in 21 minutes and 39 seconds.
The race was another of the same kind as Hanlan’s contest with Hawden, in which the fact of his winning so easily, and par- ticulary that of having rested on his oars, have been scouted by many and looked upen by all as strange. This race, which he has apparently wen quite as easily, will set these doubts, perhaps, forever at rest and stamp the Canadian champion more than ever
A WONDERFUL SCULLER.
The Newcastle Journal of yesterday says that the race was one of the heaviest gam- bling races that ever took place upon the Tyne, and that during+the past two months heavy sums have been invested on Hanlan. Elliott before the race was confident in himself, and called out to some of his friends on the referee’s boat, ‘‘I will take 3 to 1 that I lead all the way,” which met with no response, however. Hanlan, it would appear, had prepared for work and settled down to it. He was comparatively fresh on coming in, but Elliott appeared used up, giving evidence that he had rowed all he knew how. The weather was fine and the water calm. The sporting reporters say that such performances of Hanlan’s yesterday have never been witnessed before on British waters.
FRANCE. VERSAILLES, June 16.
In the discussion of Ferry’s Education Bill, in the Chamber of Deputies, to-day, Cassagnac accused Ferry of uttering cal- umnies against religious orders and with falsifying documents. He refused to re- tract, and on the Left voting the censure of Cassagnac the confusion became so great that Gambetta left the chair, temporarly closing the session. Cassagnac continued speaking after the quaestors had cleared the galleries, amid great confusions.
The Chamber of Deputies, on resuming its sitting, voted to exclude Cassagnac from the Chamber for three days. Cassagnac, replying, declared the present Cabinet in- famous. Gambetta threatened him with prosecution.

Banking Audits.
The Monetary Times says that the idea of appointing auditors for the purpose of ex- amining the accounts of banks, and of cer- tifying to the correctness of the reports made by the directors, is one that is obtain- ing much attention and favor, in these times of reduced dividends and impaired capital. The idea seems to take its rise in a distrust of the statements made by those whe have the responsible management. And this distrust, to go back a step further, has prebably arisen from the fact that, after the statement had been made, year after year, full provision had been made for »ad and doubtful debts, there still have remained in succeeding years large amounts to be written off. Be the cause, however, what it may, of the dis- trust itself there can be no doubt Reasonable or unreasonable, it exists; and its influence is felt in the reduced prices of of bank stocks, and§the inadequate quota- tions therefor. This distrust is by no means confined tu Canada. Since the hor- rible revelations connected with the break down of the City of Glasgow Bank, bank stockholders,in every part of Great Britain, have asked themselves whether it is possible that pervisions and misstatements may not exist elsewhere. And in financial circies this matter of an official: audit of banks is one of the prominent topics of discussion. o> <> «+

AROMATIC MONTSERRAT QUININE CORDIAL’
which is a combination of Pure Quinine, with Lime Fruit Juice, cordialised by the addition of Aromatics, but
ENTIRELY FREE FROM ALCOHOL.
Upon the medicinal virtues of Lime Juice and Quinine it is unnecessary to dilate. The combination of two agents of such universally acknowledged value, in at once a le and innocuous form, has been a disi long sought, but only nowsuccessfully accomplished; for although the 7’onic qualities of Quinine have been popularised in the form of QUININE WINES, it is wel] known these combir ations have been attended with serious evils couse- quent upon the Alcoholic Stimulants they all contain, at once prejudicial to health and de- moralising in their tendency,
Aromatic Montserrat Quinine Cordial is guar- anteed to contain one grain of Quinine in each wineglassful, and to be entirely free from al- cohol, being prepared solely from the Mont- serrat Lime Fruit Juice combined with Aro- matics,
