To the Kditor ef the Examiner. Sir,—A go-as-you-please match took place on the day ef the Railroad Picnic, between

the excursion train and Fred Bevan, for five tuifes. It appears that Master Fred was just

in time to be too late, for the excursion train +

—-who were nearly allon board for home at the time Fred arrived at the station.---When off the train went, leaving him behind, and aa the train was gving to stop some time at County Line, Fred thonght that he would catch her there. So, off he went by the main road at the speed of a deer, when to his great surprise and astonishment she had just left him again, so he came to the conclusion te give up the chase, and lay olf for the Express, that was shertly expected. It appears Fred- went to the picnic to combine business with pleasure, as it was arranged that a 30 minute, go-as-you please match was to take place, but when his opponents saw Fred in sugh geod condition for the race, and dressed in his gay running costume, they ene and all backed out —leaving him master ef the track. We un- derstand that Fred is now preparing himself fer the Caledonia match, and will no doubt give a good account of himself on that day. His younger brother Job. a coming runner and pedestrian, took first purse at the Rail- w.y Picnic race that day, as well as the first prize at St. P’s T. A. and B.S. picuie race, held at Mr. Handrahan’s grounds on Wednes- lay last, against seven competitors. This same young Bevan made extraordinary run- ning in the Skating Rink, among the men in the tive-mile race—he having made the dis- tance in the short time of 37 minuies, despite the mean attempt of one er two of the mean young men who tripped and threw him sev- eral times, while inthe race. If young Bevan enly takes care of himself fer the next three or feur years, he will, with a little training, make one of. the ewiftest runners of. the age. We wish the young fellow much success.

A Husband’s Discovery.

ANIMATED NIGHT SCENE IN TME HOUSE OF 4 MONTREAL CITIZEN,

A few days agoa young French Canadian gentleman, well known and highly esteem- as aman of honor, a resident of St. Hu- bert street, had eccasion te ge into the country for 2, time on a pleasure excursion, leaving his wife and children at home, He returned home hastily the same evening, and upon trying the doer found it lecked. He rapped, and waited for a time, expect- ing hia wife te go dewn and adzit him. He noticed at the same time a light iu his bedrvom. At length it flashed upen him that burglars might be in the house, and without more ade he burst in the doer and rushed to his reom. He could see no one, but the light was turned on and the bed had been recently vacated. He tried one door after the other, and then came to the wardrebe. Pulling open the deer, he discovered, to his utter bewilderment, a man and woman in a semi-nude state. The woman was his wife, the man a doctor well known in Freuch Canadian circles. But a still greater herrer awaited him, for upen dragging the man into the light he dis- covered that he had in custody his wife’s uncle. The wife screamed, and the doctor implored mercy, ‘‘Pourle bon Diew!? The enraged and eutraged husband seized a rifle and demanded which of them he should kill first, as both should due. They fell upen their knees and implored mercy for their conduct; the woman adding that, if only for their children’s sake, her husband would not place his own freedem in peril. This appeal stayed the hand of the hus- band, and bundling the pair into ‘the streets as they stood, he locked the door, and informed the nearest police that there were to be found at a certain street, ina gateway, aman and woman who wanted some clothes to cover their nakedness. The husband is a military man, and he has seen service in Italy and France.—-T'oronto Globe.

A Chilian Vessel Blown Out of the Water.

ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY PERSONS KILLED BY THE EXPLOSION,

The Chilian transpert Loa was blown up in the harbor of Callao by a Peruvian tor- pedo boat sét afloat by Peruvian officers on the 3rd of July. The boat was an ordinary one with 300 pounds of dynamite ina faise bottem, which carried considerable fruit, ete., and was so arranged that any additional weight would explode the dynamite. The Lea's crew discovered it and towed the beat alongside, when the explosion occurred. The Loa was almest lifted out of the water and sank in a few minutes. Every house in Callae was shaken to the foundation, and other ships shook as if an earthquake was taking place. About 150 men perished. Forty were picked up by boats, but many died. The second commander was wounded, and the surgeon aud.ene engineer were the only officers saved. The condition of things in Lim is daily becoming worse. One decree fellows the other in rapid suevession, and the pur- pose of nine tenths of these appears te be te divert the attention of the people from the actual condition of affairs. In the meantime the Chilians are recruit- ing actively, and by the firat of Oc- tober they expect to begin the siege of Lima. By that time the foreign’ element remaining will be greatly reduced, and but few will be left as spectators of the final
