‘*HE WON AS HE LIKED.”
Lonpon, June 16.
The great boat race between Elliett, the English champion, and the Canadian, Han- lan, which came off to-day at about noon (English time), was won by Hanlan-—the despatch stating that ‘‘ Hanlan won as he liked.” The difference in time enables us to get the information here about 9 o’clock this merning. This race constitutes the Canadian champion of the world. The odds were greatly in favor of the Canadian —a despatch stating that at the Newcastle Club, on Saturday, 11 to 4 on Hanlan was laid five times, and offers of 100 te 40 found no takers. Hanlan will return home im- mediately.
A correspondent of the Sportsman inter- viewed both Hanlan and Elliott on Satur- day. Both expressed themselves very con- fident. They did only a very moderate amount of work on Saturday, and on Sun- day merely enough to keep their hands in. Hanlan, on Saturday, had a few short shorts spurts with Plaisted at the rate of 35 to 36 strokes to the minute. He made the boat travel splendidly. Hanlan’s muscles are superbly developed and he at- tains rare speed with little apparent etfort.
Elliott also rowed 36 strokes per minute in a finished style.
On Saturday Hanlan, when paddling down the river, sighted Elliott, and im- mediately turned and both rowed leisurely in the direction of Scotswoed, having about 150 yards distance between them.
The ‘‘Sportsman” says Elliott declares he never had been so thoroughly trained before.
Hanilan, too, was in excellent condition.
The cespatch adds :-—
*‘We expect to seo a most exciting strug- gle for a good part of the distance, when probably Ellictt will tire from fatigue, caused by the long slide te which he is un- accustomed, and Hanlan will draw ahead.”
This has probably been the case, as Han- lan ‘‘won as he liked.

Mr. Barnum on Temperance and Intemperance.
A GREAT SHOWMAN AND A STAUNCH TEETO- TALLER OF THIRTY-TWO YEARS STAND- ING,
(From the Moncton Times.)
The Hen. P. T. Barnum, of werld-wide fame as the greatest showman on earth, is also a pledged teetotaller and goes into the subject of Temperance, and sets forth te evils intemperance as thoroughly as he would act in the case of any of his other engagements. It was not known until the meeting had assembled in the Hall on Steadman street yesterday afternoon, that Mr. Barnum would be present or address the meeting, otherwise a larger hail would have been obtained, to accommodate the crowd which would have gathered. As the circumstances were, the hall was not greatly evercrowded. The meeting opened with the usual exercises,—singing, prayer and reading the scriptures,--Mr. W. J. Robin- son presiding.
Mr. Barnum having been called on by the Rev. Mr. Kinnie, said he had been un- expectedly invited to speak, but as for 32 years he had been a teetotaler and could not conscientiously say ‘‘no” to an appeal to speak or do anything else for the for- warding of the principles of total abstinence, he therefere said ‘‘yes.” live, said the veteran great earnestness, the lieve in the words and love man.” He said we could not act up to this in any _ better way than by being temperate and help- ing others to be so. We should re- member that anything we did which would help along: one individual, would help all mankind. He himself knew the effects of drinking intoxicating liquors, for until 1847 he had been a drinking man. There- fore he could speak as one having experi- ence. He knew what he had been previous to 1847, and he knew what he was when he left off the habit, and he could only truly attribute his vigor and vim at 69 years of age te the fact that he had drunk cold water for the last 32 years of his life. In- temperauce was a giant evil,—the greatest curse of civilization,—the father of most other evils,—and he knew it from his own experience. The speaker here related an anecdote he had heard Father Matthew tell of an Irishman who, when given his choice of three crimes to commit,—murder, arson or to get drunk, said he could not commit murder, as he had not the heart to injure his fellow man; he could net fire his neigh- bor’s buildings, as much damage and loss of life must follow; but as he had to do one ef the three evils, he would get drunk. And while in a state of intoxication, the man committed both the crimes he had re- fused to while in his sober senses. Mr. Barnum said this might be true, as it was unquestionable that mere than seven- eightlis of all crime was. the outgrowth of rum drinking. He asked the audience to consider how this land would flourish and blossom as the rose, figuratively speaking, if these seven-eighths would all become in- dustrious and good citizens.

Sir William Thomsen, the eminent scien- tist, has done good service in directing the world’s attention to the uses to which the Niagara Falls ceuld be put. It is estimated that the force represented by the principal fall alone is equal to 16,800,000 herse-power, which to be produced by steam would ne- cessitate the consumption of over 250,000,- 000 tons of coal, equal to the annual pro- duction of all the mines in the universe. It is astounding to think of the enermous creative power which nature has here placed at our service, but which is allowed to run to waste.— Toronto Mail.

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 ence a table and innocuous form, has been a disideratum long sought, but only nowsuccessfully accomplished; for. although the Z'onic qualities of Quinine have been popularised in the form of QUININE WINES, it is well known these combinations have been attended with serious evils conse- 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, :
