The Masonic Picnic Vesterday.

Tue Masonic fraternity had a fine day for their picnic at Pownal, and those who were fortunate enough to reach the grounds and return home at a seasonable hour re- port having thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The steamer Southport, which had been engaged especially for the occasion, left the city on her first trip at 9.30 o'clock. She had about tifty persema, mostly Masons, and the Artillery Brigade Band, on board. The run to Pownal was very pleasant, and after the passengers had been landed the steamer returned to the city. At 2.30 o'ciock she again left for Pownal, this time with about one hundred ladies and gentle mea on beard, all bent upon enjoyimg themselves. But ‘the best laid schemes of (women) and men gang aft agiee.” When about half-way down, the steamer grounded near Governor's Island, where she remained hard and fast until 9.30 o'clock at night, when she floated with the high tide !

Shortly after the steamer grounded, and it had been discovered that it was impos- sible to proceed till high tide, it was de- cided to send a foraging party to Pownal— some seven iniles distant —after provisions, as all the picnic supplies had beea taken down on the first trippy and there was noth- ing for those on board te eat, Accordingly the steamer’s byat was pressed into ser- vice and a crew selected. With determin- ation expressed in their cougtenances and accumpanied by the best wishes of the ladies and gentlemen they had left behind them, the plucky crew started out on their inission—determined to make Pownal.

After about an hoar-and-a-half of hard rowing they reached Pownal at half-past tive. One of the party borrowed a large sai! boat while the others set about secur- ng provisions. After the provisions had been deposited in the sail boat, and the row boat hitched on behind, the little party | started on return to the steamer, leaving about half-past six. After proceeding in this way a distance of some three miles it was decided to distribute the crew between the two boats in erder to lighten the larger one. This was accordingly done. Chree of the number got intu the row buat and started forthe steamer, pulling for all they were worth. But the elements were yiinst them, and after they had proceed- ed a short distance they were obliged to| put back to Pownal, The sail bc at, how-

steamer had grounded, whenthe look-out made the alarming discovery that the steamer had been floated during their ab- sence, and was then on her way to town. Those on board the boat called out, loudiy for the steamer to stop; but their cries were uot heard and the steamer proceeded on her course, iving’ in town, at 9.45, where she remained all night. The sail- boat put back to Pownal, which was reach- ed about half-past tea. af

The crews of both boats, together with the excursionists «‘ho had gone down on the first trip of the steamer, were obliged to remain at Pownal over night, where they were kindly cared for by the people of the neighborhood.

The excursionists who remained at Pow- nal all night were driven to the ferry this morning, and reached the city about vine o'clock. They are unanim»us in their con- demnation of the steamer’s officers for not going after them at daylight this morning, which could eastiy have been done.

Iu addition to those on the grounds from the city, there were quite a number from the surrounding districts, making, in all, a total of between four and five hundred people.

Mr. Alexander Mackenzie, of this city, was the caterer, and he discharged his duties to the satisfaction of all who were present.

By 1887 the two, countries had entirely changed places as | buyers_of our farm products, Great Britain | taking 60 per cent., and the United States | 25 percent. This change is the more re- markable from the fact that in certain ar- tieles our exports to the United States show a marked increase, as, for’ instance, im gus, which increased from 3,000 | in 1868 to $1,822,000 in 1887, and in horses, which increased _from®3584,658 in 12868 to $2,214,000 in 1887. dn- posed by the United States with a view to | absolutely excluding nearly every descrip- tion of Canadian farm products, of the U States have been obliged to buy in the whole range of such products 28 per cent. more from Canada in 1887 than they did twenty years ago, but this isa Lagatelle as compared with the increase of our farm exports to Great Britain. thing we offer in the English market goes

Two Ocean Racers.

Probably not for years has the public! taken the same interest in the departure of | ocean steamers as attended the sailing of the big transatlantic ners from this port yesterday. The news of a prospective strife for racing honors between the new and handsome Inman line steamship City of New York and the Cunard racer Umbria caused everybody to be on the qui vive, and long before the hour for their leaving, the docks of both lines were crowded with people. Each vessel had its admirers, and there was considerable money put up on the result of the present tffp of the two | gigantic craft to Queenstown. Sporting | men were abundant. The odds were all in favor of the Umbria, however, as the new steamer is yet practically untried. Her champions held, and with good reason, that her first trip was not intended in any way to test her speed.—New York Herald.
