GREAT! lNTEBNMlUNM BABE. (Special to the Leader.) 1 a MONTREAL, Sept. 12.â€"The long-look- c1 ed-for and long-talked-of race between f: the Tyne and St. John’s crews came off i“: at Lachine this afternoon and resulted b in a handsdme victory for the English- 8 men. The occasion is one which will be long remembered by the people of * Montreal. Indeed it is impossible to : convey to your readers a correct idea of c the great contest. Montreal ;was excited ‘ to the greatest degree, and thousands upon thousands poured out of the city and found their way to Lachine to wit- ' ness the race. The upper and lower Lachine roads were crowded with car- riages and pedestrians from an early' hour in the forenoon till late in the after- noon. The trains arrived every half ' hour with thousands of pansen'fiers from : Montreal, until nearly one half of the ’ inhabitants had deserted it. The scene reminded one of the time when the llar-ll vards rowed against the Oxford crew.â€"â€" 1 Every man and woman and boy who could possibly get away from Montreal and the neighborhood thereof flocked and swarmed to Lachine, until there must have been over fifty thousand spectators in attendance; and in order the better to add eclat to the occasion a half-holiday was proclaimed in Montreal.

The Laehine club made almost super- l' human efforts to perfect their arrange- a ments for the accommodation of specta- ( tors. Twentyofive steamers and twenty : barges were secured for" that purpose; and all who could get tickets for these vessels eagerly. secured them. Men were there from all duartcrn of the Dominion as well as from nearly every eastern E State in the neighbo1ing union. Burly E EngliShnien and speculative looking Americans vied with each other 1n bet- ting on the result. The latter staked their last greenback upon the St. John crew, and their example was noblyfol lowed by thousands of Canadians, who felt it to be their patriotic duty to back their own men. The Englishmen freely _ offered five. to four on the Tyne crew men who, were in the opinion of their, friends in the pink of condition, and the best oarsmen in all England, indeed in 1 . all the world. John Bull, true to hisl instincts, felt himself in honor bound to back the representatives of Old Engâ€" land in this contest, and gold was pro- duced without limit. As the hour ap- proached for the race to be started the thousands present became painfully anxious about the result, and betting was kept up with much enthusiasm to the very last moment. ' t INTENSE EXCITE M ENT. LACHINE REGETT-A. The water of the lake being rough it was deemed prudent to postpone the great race till about five o clock, and In the meantime the spectators were treat. ed to a canoe race. Little attention was paid, however, to this rate. The people had assembled to see the great race be- tween four Englishmen and the world renowned St. Jehn’ 8 Paris crew, and they cared for nothing else. - ‘ v The Tyne crew finally appeared upon the course about five o’clock, and were followed shortly afterwards by the St. John’s crew. Both were loudly cheer- ed by their friehii‘é..

The ’J‘yne crew gradually in- creased their rate of speed, and at the end ; of the iirst mile they had a. lead of at. later three boats’ lengths. It was manifest to all that the Englishmen had now the race. in their own hands, and that barring acci- dents were destined to arrive home victoti one. When the three mile buov was reach- ed they were in the same relative position:- â€"the St. John mm hating,r been unable to reduce the distance between them. Upon turning the- buoy the Tyne crew laid down well to their work, and were nobly follow- ed by the St. John’s men, who appeared tol strain every nerve to ‘ overhaul them. but i they were unable to do so. and the Eu:- lishmen, With their long sweciting stroke, came on at a tremendous pace, each stroke of their oars increasing their lead, until the stake boat was reached, when they were about six lengths ahead of the St. John's 3' crew. The Winners rowed the six miles in n fortyone minutes and three seconds; and they naturally received a perfect ovation Ff from the Spectatorsâ€"thousands of whom (1 had made little fortunes upon the brilliant success thus achieved by the Tyne crew. D It. may be here stated that. during the great race between the Ward Brothers and St. John's crew the latter rowed the six miles in a little over 39 minutes, but then of course there was a good deal of differ- ence between the waters upon which the races came off. In the former race there were no currents to he encountered, and no squells to retard the progress of the crew. ‘ It. is gratttying to all parties concerned to know that the race was 1'9.in and square 1y contested on both sides from the aunt to the close; and a‘l feel that the St. John’s men, though defeated, have nothing to be ashamed of, because there is no other crew in the world that could have defeated them. It is due to Mr. S. H. Wallis and Mr. James Harvey to say that the completeness of their arrangements throughout were creditable in the extreme. Some enterprising Chnthamites have iormed themselves into a company call- ed the “ Marsh Plough Improvement Company.” The exeellencies of their plough are combined in the following paragraph : “The Marsh Pl ough- guard and Hol- der does awéy with the necessity of a ploughman; the plough being guided at any required depth and width by the Guard and Holder, which can be at tached to any common plough; and a small boy sitting on a spring seat and driving the horses, can do the work ol :1 professional ploughman.” Now, if this company isn’t “blowing,” they have a “bin thiug” of it in their piough, which “does away with the no- cessity of a plouuhman.’ ” Just what 14 wantedâ€"a mau swages saved at oboe. Farmers, this thing 18 worth looking af- ter. A r‘ural Ex_1glishwon1an had the right idea when, finding herself unable to Whip her husband, she shouxed to her son who was up stairs in bed : “ Bill I eome damn stairs. and li'ek thi feyther, c‘r else he’ll be lh’ maister 0’ th’ whole house 1” The New York Commercial Adverâ€"l tiser says: “ In one British Steamer? that arrived here the other day, theae were no less than 500 people crowded into the hold below the lower deck.â€" This floating dungeon from three to four feet below the water, and was lighted by two lamps, the only means of ventilation being by two hatehways. It is very questionable, if the steamer had met with any mishap, by which the pas- 3sage had lengthened to twenty or thirty~ 3days, instead of the ten days it occupi- ed, whether one-half would have ear-l vived the voyage. Everything indicat-3 ed the total lack of privacy of the SUXUS, 3 and the ordinary arrangements for de- cency were of the most limited charac- ter. The berths were the reagh, un- painted planks, thesame amount of filth and vermin ahounding, and the air as villainous as ever characterized the steerage of the old passenger lines be. fore the law stepped to between man’s cupidity and human sofiering.” ._.... t The Prussians appear to be wonder-l fully well-informed of everything that‘ goes on, even to the smallest details.â€" Some days ago a regiment of Uhlans entered a village through which the French army had passed twenty-four hours before. The French had with great difficulty obtained 3,000 rations from the country people. The Prussians required 25,000, but were told that it was impossible to comply with this. deo . wand. and that it week! be impossible l to collect more than a quarter what was ’ claimed. ‘ The commander pulled some notes out of his pocket and looked through them. “ Where is Schultz?” said he. “Here am I, commandant,” replied an honest fellow, reddening with pride at finding himsdf known to so lpowerful a person. “You have three cows and av a hundred hens. I know where you have hidden your oats; you withdrew your flour yesterday. Be 50 so good as to fetch all that, and be quick about it.” Thus the commandant call- ed theiahahitants one after the other, land prored to them that he was as well ‘acquainted as themselves with their re- sources. It is needless to add that the ,l25,000 rations were made up in an s . I t hour’s time. ' ' 1 . . was impossible to comply wand, and that it. wmiid to collect more than a qu: claimed.
