THE YANKER WINS THE FIRST RACE—OVER FIFTEEN MINUTES AHEAD—THE ENGLISH- MEN SAY THE GENESTA WAS FAIRLY OUT- SAILED., At 10.30 exactly the final whistle sound- ed and the start was made. The Genesta crossed an the starboard tack. She was fol- lowed half a leugth in the rear by tbe Puritan. The Puritan quickly overhauled the cutter and the latter, finding hereelf falling back, hoisted the balloon. Both yachts stood on Long Island shore; at 10 56 the Genesta hauled in the balloon and tacked. She was followed a minute latr by the Puritan. The latter at this time was three lengths ahead of the Genesta. At 10.45 the Genesta, then on the port tack, was considerably interferred with by several schooners sailing in her course off Clifton. She went on the port tack to clear them. The Puritan was then leading by 50 yards. At 10.55, when nearing Fort Wadsworth, both yachts stood on the star- board tack. Tha Genesta had worked con siderably to windward, but in her geveral course the Puritan had a good lead ‘and was gaining. Atl o'clock both yachts were in the narrows, going slowly, with their positions unchanged. They were followed by the whole fleet of steamers and yachts a short distance to the stern. At 11.05 the Puritan hoisted her balloon and was stand- ing for Fort Hamilton. She was LEADING ABOUT A QUARTER OF A MILE. The Genesta at this time was a way wind- ward, still on the same tack. At this time the entire length and breadth of the narrows was crowded with steamers, tugs, yachts and boats of every description. Lt was a grand and brilliant sight, for, upon every boat that had a flagpole, gay colors of every variety were seen. The shores of Staten Island and Bay Ridge were filled with people watching the movements of the con- testing yachts through telescopes and field giasses upon the scene. The sun was coming out more and more strongly and the air grew more heated despite the breeze. At 12.51 the Puritan went into stays and the Genests followed suit, both squaring away for Southwest Spit, and pointing as closely as possible to the wind. The Yankee sloop was plainly. OUTSAILING THE BRITISH CUTTER and widening the distance. The sun was becoming hotter, and the wind seemed to be growing less. At one o'clock the Puari- tau had her mainsail, topsail, staysail and two jibs set; the Genesta had the same. At 11 46 the Puritan was almost becalmed off Hotfman’s Island, and the wind had died out. The tide then turned and seemed to help her along. She caught the breeze at 11.53, and the Boston sloop went along at a four-knot gait At noon the Puritan was to windward of the Genesta, and making for a point of the Hook, all sails but the spinnaker set. She was then half a mile ahead of her trans-Atlantic rival. At12 30 the Genesta went about on the starboard tack, and canght a little breeze. The Puri- tan was then on the port tack, and at least a mile and a half ahead of the cutter. The Boston sloop was making good headway and sailing for Southwest Spit. She was sailing free, with her sheets off, and travel- ling over four miles an hour. At 1.20 the accompanying fleet extended from the Nar- rows to the Hook ; all the boats were then in straggling array. The Puritan had then gove on the port tack at 1.05, and imme- diately after was greeted by a achool of por- poises A light south-west breeze helped heralong. When the Puritan was nearing the buoy off Southwest Spit, steamers blew their whistles and made 4 noise that could be heard miles away. She rounded it at 1.20.18, and then there was another salute from the steamers. THE GENESTA WAS GETTING THE BENEFIT of the southwest breeze and rapidly lessen- ing the distance between her and the Bos- ton sloop. Captain Carter was handling her admirably. She began to come around the spit at 1.24.50, and was saluted, but not so loudly as the Puritan. Standing out for the Hook the Boston sloop eased off her sheets and sent up the balloon topsail. She was then running nearly before the wind. The Genesta sent up her balloon at 1.27.40 and was then overhauling the Puritan. The Boston sloop went through the water like a seabird. The Genesta went by buoy 5 at 1.36.10, having gained 25 seconds on the Puritan from the time of rounding Southwest Spit. The distance between the boats at 1.40 was half a mile. The Boston sloop came from the point of the Hook at a six knot yait. The Genesta was then four minutes behind and being outrageously interfered with by several steamers, who gave her their wash. Both were given a perfect ovation from the steam whistles, guns and hundreds of throats as they luffed grandly round the mark and kept away with their sheets started for the point of Sandy Hook. THE PURITAN HELD THE LEAD well, and both with booms off to starboard, came tothe westward like a race horse,only to strike into a calm streak and head wind off the Hook. The Puritan went about at 324 and stood into Horseshoe for three minutes, when she was able to weather the buoys 84 and 10. The Genesta made the same tacks later and both rounded buoy 10 as follows: Puritan, 3.38.05; Genesta, 3.46 05. S tting her balioon jib topsai! at once and starting her sheet broad off to starboard, she soon increased the lead on the Genesta, although both had to stem the ebb tide in very light air. The Genesta’s spinnaker was sent out to port in 1} minutes after rounding the buoy. The Puritan's spinnaker boom was lowered, but the sail was not set. SHE CROSSED THE FINISH LINE at 4.38.05 amid the wildest enthusiasm, the steamers that fairly blocked the channe! for a fhile to the soushward, closing up around her and making a veritable pandemonium with their steam whistles for fully five minates. The Cenesta arrived at 4.54.52, and was greeted with a similar reception. as the yachts passed in by Fort Wadsworth a gun from the fort was fired in salute to each, and when the yachts came alongside each other, the crew of the Genesta stand- ing at the rail facing the Puritan’s crew, gave three rousing cheers for the winning yacht, Forbes, waving his capin the air, led his crew in three times tree for the Englismnen. Mr. Tams, of the committee, in an interview aflor the race, said : ‘‘I am satisfied the Puritan has FASRLY OUTSAILED THE GENESTA, but I think when they meet in a good breeze it will be ‘nip and tuck,’” Mr. Forbes, Gen. Paine and Mr. Burgess are all satisfied with the result, and ready to try it again on Wednesday, when the outside race will be sailed, the breaking of the Genesta’s main cap preventing the race before then. The following tables give the actual result of the race :— Elapsed Corec’d Name. Start. Finish. time. time.

The reception given by Mrs. Martha Wilson on Thursday evening, at her elegant home on Ocean View Avenue, in honor of Prof. Anderson and family, was a most de- lightful entertainment, Prof. Anderson is now at the head of the Sacramento High School, but was formerly for several years Principal of the Santa Cruz public schools. The winding walk through the grounds and the porch were illuminated with rows of great Chinese lanterns, and the guests, after being welcomed at the door by Mr. David Wilson, were ushered into the pretty parlors, which were everywhere bright and fragrant with a profusion of fiowers. Here they were received by Professor and Mrs. Anderson and Miss Ethel Anderson, assisted by Mrs. Martha Wilson and Mrs. David Wilson. The evening was delightfully spent by young and old in an exchange of friendly inter course and reminiscences of the days when many of the younger portion of the company were pupils under Prof. Anderson. Miss Jessie Fenton presided at the organ in the music-room, where the young people re- paired and sang choruses, Late in the evening abundant and delicious refresh- ments were served, and ‘ going-home time” came all too soon. Among those present were the clergy, representatives of the bench and bar, the medical profession, and the educational staff of the city. — Daily Surf. Professor Anderson was formerly at the head of the Wesleyan Academy of this city, and is remembered as a man of sterling worth amongst us. ———— Oe se eS Boston Markets. Boston, Sept. 13. Eces—-The Egg market has ruled firm, and fresh grades are well sold up. Sales of Eastern extras at 18} and 19 cents, and firsts at 17 and 174 cents. The best marks of Nova Scotia and P. E. Island command 165 and 17 cents per dozen. We quote P. E. Island at 164 and 17 cents. Oats—Sales of No. 2 white at 40 cents for old and 35 cents for new. No. 3 white are held at 34 cents, and mixed at 32 and 33 cents per bushel as to quality. PoraToEs — Potatoes are now coming in feom all sections and the market is well supplied. Maine Rose are selling at 50 to 55 ec, and New York at 45 to 50c per bush. Hebrons command about the same figures. Farmers in this city vicinity are getting $1.50 to $1.60 per bbl. Fish—Receipts of Mackerel for the week at Boston have been 6,963 bbls, including 1,990 bbls sea packed from fleet, 4,150 from outrorts and 823,bbls from foreign ports. The fleet have not been catching many fish for over a week past and the landings at all ports foot up only 16,277 bbls against 19,083 bbls last week and 42,319 bbls for the corresponding week last year. It will be noticed that there is a marked falling off as compared with last year. The total catch to date, as compiled by the Boston Fish Bureau, is 243,610 barrels, against 263,759 barrels for the same period last year, # deficiency of 20,000 barrels. A large fleet is still out, and good hauls are expected before the season closes, if the weather continues favorable. Latest advices from the East were discouraging. owing to bad weather and the disappearance of the fish. There is a firmer tendency in the market for Mack- erel, but it is difficult to establish any advance. Trade is active in a jobbing way, and stocks are disappearing. Cargo lots of Shore rule at $5.50 and $6 per barrel, out of pickle and Bays at $4 25 and $4.50 per barrel, with barrel. Inspected lots are selling mostly at $4, £6, and $14 per barrel, including 3's, 2's and 1’s. Some extra No 2 go up to $8. Separate lots of No. 3 are held at $4.26 to $4.50, and No. 1 run up to $18 to $20 per bbl. There is a great scarcity of the latter, and if the catch does not improve, prices will be higher. Codfish are in more liberal supply, and prices are easier. For the best dry Bank $3.50 is en outside price, and sowe lots of Eastern were sold at a shade under. Pickle cured Bank are steady at $3 for large and $250 for medivm, Large dry Shore rule at $4, and pickle cured at $3 50 to $375 per qtl. Canned mackerel have been advanced to 80 to 85c per dozen, owing to the scarcity of fresh. Canaed lobsters are firm at $1.70 to $1.75 per dozen. _ =o © = a ae Ontario Crops. FALL WHEAT GOOD, BUT SPRING BADLY DAMAGED —BARLEY AND OATS. The report of the Ontario Bureau of In- dustries, based on returns made under date of the 3rd inst., has just been issued. The yield of fall wheat is even better than ap- peared by the Augnst report. Tho average being 24 3 bushels per acre, as against an estimate of 23.3 by the last report. In spring wheat the ravages of rust have turn- ed out to be much more serious than they were at the time of the last report supposed to be. Thronghout Western Ontario the crop is almost wholly destroyed. Taking the Province as a whole there will pro- bably be a deficiency in spring wheat pro- ducts. The yield will be only 11 5 bushels per secre, as against an estimate of 18. The condition of the barley crop as indicated in the August bulletin, is verified in every particular. ‘The growth of straw was unusually long and the grain a full average in plumpness and weight, but the bulk of the crop is permanently damaged by the storm of August 3rd, and th weather since then being broken and un. favorable has made matters worse. The yield will in eonsequence average 27.4 instead of 28.5. The prospect for the oat crop is less favorable than it was earlier in the season. The yield will average 36.5 in- stead of 38 3.

Fetitions are being received daily at the State Department, Ottawa, praying that Riel’s sentence be commuted. Other petitions praying that the law be allowed to take its course are being received from the Northwest. One of the latter says: Your petitioners have been made aware that efforts are being put forth and petitions are being signed in the pro- vince of Quebec for the purpose of having the death sentence on Louis Riel commn- ted. Your petitioners are convinced that the said Louis Riel had a fair and impartial trial, and should the verdict of the jury in any way be disturbed there will be great dissatisfaction in this country, and there will be grave danger of a recurrence of the treasonable acts of which the said Louis Riel has been convicted, and con- fidence in the Government of this country will bo greatly shaken. We think it also necessary, in the interests of the Northwest and the interests cf the world over; that criminals such as Louis Riel should be shewn no leniency, as by his action in the past, he has set tho laws of the Dominion at defiance by an armed in- surrection, resulting ia great expense to the country and the loss of many brave men’s lives.’ 2. —— Sad End of a Lovers’ Quarrel. A YOUNG MAN COMMITS SUICIDE MO0OST UNECESSARILY, Simon Koenig, aged 27, killed himself ov the llth, at his mother’s residence, on Sherman street, East Buffalo, N. Y. He was engaged to a young woman who lived in the neighborhood, but for the past week there had been trouble between them which threatened to break off thé@ engage- ment. On the morning of the 11th, he arose early and spent several hours in reading andin praying. He usually did this, but not for so long a time. His mother went to his room to attempt to com fort him, but he put her out, saying he must marry the girl ordie. A few minutes later she heard a fall, and on going to his room found him lying upon the floor with bis throat cut from ear to ear. His affianc- ed was greatly shocked when informed of the suicide, and claimed that there was no trouble between them that should cause him to take his life. rT oe ee THERE is an impression prevalent in Canada, says the Canudian Militia Gazette, ‘* that our Wimbledon Team have not shot up to their usual form this year, an im- pression probably fostered by the facts that they lost the Kolapore cup, and that their prize-takings were not cabled over from day to day as in former years, but an erroneous impression, nevertheless, as full returns show us. A team that could put one quarter of their number into the Queen’s three hundred, that could furnish three men tothe Queen’s sixty, and that could carry off the second volunteer aggre- gate, and three of the grand aggregate badges, is a team to be respected, and one that will be remembered in England.” Yes ; the Canadians were worthy foemen at the Wimbledon meeting, and their shooting was highly creditable, and by way of com- parison with what our own men accomplish- ed it was highly satisfactory. —Volwnteer Record and Shooting News. aS caglatiillitiendtinn An InGeN1Ious IwPROVEMANT.—Mr. Wm.

The wrapper is a single film of leaf wrapped around the plog, and is never good smoking tobacco. It is costly only because of it fine color. In the ‘Myrtle Navy” brand the chief attention is paid to the ‘ filler,” that is, the inside of the plug. It is this that determines the smoking tobacco.
