Last evening a plat ria lneetin was held, when addresses were delivered by Revs. J. Burwash, M.A., J. McLeod, and C. Whitman. The choir reniered good service on each occasion. The anniversary service on Sabbath after- Hoon, in the Brick Courch, was largely at- tended.

It was one of the most remarkable aquatic events ever rowed under the National Association rules. Barney Biglin was re- feree. Betting in the forenoon was even, but just before the race Teemer’s friends were offering $100 to $50 on their favorite. About 7 o'clock the men were started, Teemer going to the front immediately. He then slowed down a little and Ross took the lead. Neither man _ was doing his hardest rowing, however. Ross drew away to a good length at half a mile, but Teemer was holding him, and had not yet spurted since just after starting. oss had made a spurt at the island and still had plenty of goin him. Between the two islands Ross was leading by three-quarters of a length. Just be- yond the second island, when three quar- ters of a mile had been finished, Teemer looked over his right shoulder and, taking a firmer grip on the water, climbed right up on Ross. About the same time both men pulled into the swash of a passing steamer and Ross suffered the most from it, losing on that account about half a length. When the men were going steady again, their boats were about even and they were both spurting. The struggle resulted in Teemer getting a lead of half a length. At the mile and a half Teemer was leading by half a length and rowing thirty strokes a minute, while Ross was rowing a little faster stroke. A quarter of a mile further on Teemer led by a length, and then began the great struggle for the honor of first reaching the turning stake. The hard work that Wallace had been doing began to tell and he seemed a little weak, for he rowed two lengths outside of his turning stake. Teemer made an excel- lent turn, and when he squared away for home had three lengths to good, Ross was advised to get inside, but he did not heed the advice and, censequently, lost two lengths. Quarter of a mile from the turn Teemer ‘‘caught a crab” and unshipped his right-hand oar. He backed it as pluckily as possible, and got under way, but Ross had by that time got to within a length and three quarters of him and the race once more assumed an interesting aspect. Wai- lace worked hard to close the lead but it was evident that he was tired. The men had reached the turning stake in 15 min- utes, 15 seconds, but the pace was slower in the third mile until Ross began to close up the gap. From the last quarter of the third mile until the end of the race a more determined struggle was never witnesse!. Ross was surprised to find he had gained en Teemer, and not being aware that his competitor had caught a crab he supposed he was tiring, and that im- on Friday evening, at 7.30, pression gave him fresh courage. Slowly ee a ERE, I Oe [INER, AUGUST 5. 18°4_ andne Die but surely Wallace closed up the gap, and at three miles and a half was only half a length of open water Lehind. The cheers of specrators in boats and tugs, shrieking of steam whistles and ringing of bells encour- aged the men, and they redoubled their exertions. ‘he race Was 4 grand one, but Teemer had to great an advantage for Ross to overcome, and, amid uproarious cheering, he crossed the line the winner of the race by a boat’s length, in 26m 20s. Both men showed evide of the terrible struggle they had seat Uetab. and both were con- gratulated for the gameness with which they had rowed from the start to the finish. Hlninirnisnnsity sililllihalis lbistumcanictaniun Brazilian Diamond Mines. The diamond beds of Bahia and Minas Geraes, in Brazil, are very similar in character as regards the minerals composing them and their plateau form, or situation on watercourses. A new bed has been recently opened on the Rio Pardo in Bahia, which presents some differences to those hitherto known in Brazil. The country around is low and marshy, and covered with forests. The working of these forests has led to the discovery of the diamonds, which are found in a white clay along with beds of decomposed leaves. The deposit appears of modern formation. The miner- als of the clay accompanying the diamond are, according to M. Gorceux, quartz, silex, monazite, zircon, disthene, staurotede, grenat almandine, corindo, and some oxides ofiron. There are no oxides of titanium, or tourmalines, as is frequently the case in diamond beds. The clay appears to be from its character and situation the debrois of the granite mountains bordering on the Bahia coasts.
