HANLAN’S VICTORY. : The International Rowing Match, in England—An Easy Victory for Han= lan, of Canada, Over Elliott, the En= glishh Champion—The Best KTime on Record. ] ; New Yorxk, June 16. : A dispatch from Newcastle-on-Tyne thus describes the race to-day: At ten minutes past twelve the men got to their station. : ' Elliott, wha looked confident and cheerful, called out to several of his friends on the umpire’s boat: * I will take threc to one that I lead all the way.” No response was made to- the champion’s pffer. A few bets at six to four were made, however, on the umpire's 'boat. Hanlan came through High Level bridge, having embarked on the south side. He lifted his cap to his friends on the cutter. Meanwhile the referee’s boat floated up to the starting point, and took its position. Renew,ea cheering took place. Both men took a preJliminary spurt of a few minutes, and returned to the starting point. After three false starts were made, the men got away on equal terms, amid cries of “They're off!’”" ¢ They're off!" At the third stroke Hanlan began to forge ahead of his competitor at a rapid rate, passing him as easily almost as a steam vessel does a sailing boat. Hanlan rowed thirty-nine strokes to the minute. Within a very short time Hanlan was two lengths ahead. In the first niile, when the men had reached the lead works, Hanlan led by four lengths, and was giving Elliott the wash of his boat. Lo :

The shouting - and yelling on the shores at this time, encouraging Elliott to greater exertion, were deafening, Hanlan was evidently rowing a winning race. Elliott was huggingf the shore. At Eastweck gangway Hanlan, finding t@ race safe, reduced his stroke to thirty-two. Elliott, in the meanwhile, was rowing at thirty-five, and beginning to show evidence of rowing wildly. His steering was very faulty. Hanlan’s steering was excellent. In passing ‘Armstrong’s Crane there was no difference in the relative positions of the two men. The referee’s boat was about a quarter of a mile behind, on the south of the island known as King’s Meadow. The water was as smooth as a mill-pond. At the head of the . Meadows Hanlan was rowing thirty-two strokes and Elliott thirtysix, the'former leading by tive lengths. When off Benwell boat-house, a little beyond Paradise Quay, Hanlan stopped rowing to look around him to ascertain the distance he had yet to row. This feat! of his recalled to mind his bailing out his boat about the same place when he defeated Hawdon. About this time a death-like silence fell on the assecmbled thouwsands, for England’s champion had been defented .almost without effort by the Canadian oarsman. After smiling pleasantly to thoseon shere, Hanlan took to his oars again and began rowing with all his might to make up for lost time. The gap between him and Elliott was soon increased, and, amid deafening | plaudits, Hanlan rowed under Scottswood bridge, winning the race by ten lengths, and gaining the well-deserved title of champion of America and England. . : After the race Hanlun, accompanied by Colonel Shaw and several Canadian supporters, returned to Newecastle, where he was cordially welcomed by a large concourse of people. In response to repeated calls Hanlan appeared at the window of the Newcastle Chronicle office and thanked the people very warmly for their kindness. He highly ‘complimented Elliott for his.invariable courtesy. Colonel Shaw also addressed the ecrowd. Both were loudly checred. In the evening, at a concert at Newcastle Town-Hall, a splendid diamond ring was presented to Hanlan on ac‘count of 8 number of ladies and gentlemen of Newcastle, o Hanlan, who was received with ‘cheers, said 'he had that day encountered one of the best scullers he ever met. = Elliott said he' was satisfiéd that ‘no man in England could beat Hanlan. He (Elliott) wouid row any man in the world, barring Hanlan, for £2OO a side. A match has been arranged between Elliott and: Robert ,Boéyd on the Tyne for £2OO a side, to take place gur months hence. hosge

" The Newcastle Chronicle, in a special edition describing the race, says: ‘Never before in British waters has such a performance as Hanlan’s been seen, Elli’ott rowed in splendid form, but to no avail against the magnificent rowess of the young Canadian. HanKm may fairly be described as a'sculling phenomenon, and' it will be a long | time ere we look upon his like again.”"

. 1 Courtesy Exemplified. : WHiLE at Providence, R. 1., says a writer in the Springfield (Mass.) Republican, I met Mrs. Mary A. livermore at the house of a friend. At table ‘the conversation. fell upon the subject f politeness. The hostess. told of a r,giend of hers, a little antique in her manners, for whom a reception was given by one of ile Beacon-street aristpcracgr of Boston. At dinner the guest -PO“.“‘ out her tea in her saucer to cool t—a method of refrigeration quite au fait thirty years aﬁo. The guests looked surprised, and some were in-

clined to smile at her simplicity and ignorance of high-toned propriety, but the lady of the house poured some tea into her saucer and drank it therefrom. This was considered a‘hint to all, and. the gumest was immediately placed at her ease. Be Sl o e - Mrs. Livermore said: *‘l was once: the recipient of d very marked polite--ness of a similar sort. When [ was in London my husband and I received a. verbal invitation from ' Lady Vilas, whomn I had met once or twice pleasautly, to come to her house next evening and meet a few frieuds of hers. We accepted and 'went. But I was deceived by the informality of the invita--tion, and supposed it was inerely tomeet hall a dozen neighbors or intimate triends. So we went out. riding in the: afternoon, stopping there on our way back to the hotel. Judgeof iy g.maze—ment to find the house illaminated anda very l_a.rFe and brilliant party assembled in full dress in my honor. There [ was in a plain carriage-dress, bonnet, black gloves!” . i *“What in the world -did you!do?” inquired a young girl. .. ¢ . = **Why, I went right into the house and . to the ladies’ - dressing-room, whence I sent a 'note to the hostess saying that I had misapprehended her invitation and was not in appropriate costume. She ran up and reassured me by telling me they had come to see me and -didn’t care for the dress, and carried me right down with her. All in full dress and the ladies without hats and hair elaborately dressed; I with brown dress, bare hands, bonnet on. I soon recovered the self-posses-sion whieh the fauz pas somewhat disturbed, and was greeted with splendid ‘cordiality. ln a few minutes Mr. Livermore edged around behind me and ~whispered, ‘Didn’t you think, Mary, that all these ladies had on white kids when you came in?’ I looked around, and they were all bare-handed! Moreover, 1 observed that a half-dozen had bonnets on. This hali-a-dozen rapidly increased, till we' were in a majority; and I soon discovered that no ludy who arrived after 1 did had removed her hat. Now, that is what I call politeness!” . ] T et

A Yirginia Study for Antiquarians. A NEW pointer to a graha _civilization on this Continent back of the Indians has just been found in Virginia. It is a wall of compact masonry unearthed, which has nothing to do. with Virginia's history, or the Indian mounds, or any-of the red man’s relics that have been discovered. The wall, which is in Halifax County, on the line of the Richmond & Danville Railroad, is sixty-seven feet ten inches long, fifteen feet high as it stands now, and thirty inches thick ut the bottom and eighteen irches at the top. It runs northeast and southwest, and is on the lower side of a slight elevation of natural formation. 1t looks as if it. might be the remains of a:garden or lawn wall of some pre-historic: age: The stones are white ilint of irregular shape, but flat and smooth on the faces of the wall, and are- adjusted with the accuracy of the plumb. They, are cemented 'with an evidently prepared cement which has no likeness. or aflinity whatever with. the neighboring clay. ‘The wall was first -discovered sixty years -ago ‘when the land was covered with forest, by a sarveyor, through the deflection and variation of the compass., This indicated the presence of . metal, and the owner of the land c¢ommenced digging for gold. Nothing was found but the quartz rock of the wall,.and the prospecting was. abandoned. Late discoveries -of the traces of the ante-Indian civilization in Ohio brought to mind this wall in Virginia, which seemed to be cut of its geological place, and it has been excavated to the extent noted. Some professor of geology, who has not yet seen it, suggests that it may be one of the geological dykes, occasionally’ found, like, but not' the work of man. Another scientific man who has examined- the structure declares that the design, as well as the concponent parts, proves it beyond doubta wall made by human hands, and of great antiquity, and announces it-a study for antiquarians, and notgeologists.-—Missouri Republicam. = ;7 20 S
