From Viking Shores.

Chicago, May 29.—Down at the Lake street bridge is anchored a boat that came all the way from Norway. It is a sloop-rigged vessel of 316 tons burden and brought 3,500 barrels of herring from Bergen. This is the third time a vessel of the kind made this trip, and the Norwegians consider it a great event. The Cragg left Bergen April 21 and made the trip across the Atlantic in twenty-two days. The route was via the English channel. There are six canals from Montreal to Kingston. Being only in depth, part ol the cargo was unloaded and trans ported this distance in barges.
