Reports received from the seal fisheries p ‘int toa very smali catch. The Commodore 18 rep wrted at Bonavista with bu, 600 seals (she has a capacity for 30,0v0}, and the sealing vessel isabella Ridley with 4,060. Itis esti- mated that about 30,000 seals have been taken between Baecalien and Cape Race by people from the shore. [t 1s very unusual ‘for the seals to be found so far south, and it may be that the steamers have missed them by going

tee far north. When last seen most of the steamers were off Green Bay. The opinion

prevails here that the catch will prove a fail- ire, iinet TROTTING , Mare u.-- On ‘Thursday last quite a large number of people assembled on Sum- merside ice to witness a match trot bet ween Mr. Harry Craswell’s bay stallion ‘‘ Harry,” and Mr. Heury Scales’ gray gelding ‘* Glad- stene Slasher.” The race caused omtiiasanhe excitement among the sporting fraternity, a “Slasher” has done some tall trotting as ‘beaten so many good horses, that his friends
