Montreal.— The rare fur the championship of the Mon- 

 treal Yacht Club look place On Saturday afternoon, July 7th, 

 at Longueuil. There were seven yachts started. The YVfrter- 

 wit.ch had the lead at the first buoy by seven minutes, which 

 she kept till the end, with the exception of a brush on the 

 home stretch. The trophy is a very handsome blue silk flag, 

 with M. Y. C, and an anchor worked in the ceutre. — -l/i <•

Noypl Crc.vrT.— A little steamboat has arrived at Hew 

 York from Baltimore which was propelled the entire distance 

 between the two cities without wheel or screw. She is called 

 the Alpha, and in outward appearance resembles the tug boats 

 which ply in the harbor. Her length is forty-three feet, beam 

 ten and a half feet, and depth alMUl eight teet . She is sup- 

 plied with a sixlecn-horse power tubular boiler, which drives 

 11 pump. From the pump to the sunt and bow of the res « 

 tire, two lines or pipe which strifce the water about three feet 

 balow the surface. The pump drives through each pipe a two 

 and a half inch stream, which enters the water through a. 

 seven eighth inch nozzle. With sixty pounds of steam the 

 pump makes one hundred and eighty' strokes a minute, each 

 stroke driving a si ream into the outer body of water. The 

 invention is the result of many years of Study, ana it is assart. 



ed that it can be applied to oceai steamships with success. 



In rno\ ing lhroo'_rb tin; ^ ocr tli.T. i- n ■ 1 ipo'i astern, and but 

 slight displacement perceptible except at the bow. By shut- 

 ling off the discharge from the stern pipes and forcing the 

 water through the how pipes the boat is backed, and by using 

 one how and one stern pine she can be turned in her own 

 ieimt.il. The propelling power can also be used to steer the 

 boat, the nozzle being used alternately as levers on the princi- 

 ple of the oar. The boat, consumes but a quarter of a ton of 

 cotd per day, and is considered to be well adapted for use ou 

 the canals. 



The Oouktbsb of Dri'i'iatts.— Commodore Gilford, one of 

 the owners, has arrived from Canada, and proposes to remove 

 this vessel from the basin at Stiipleton, taking her home to 

 Canada. She is now being lilted out. 



Tire G-beenavoom Lake Rage. — Courtney who Was to liave 

 ri iwcrl a match with Jiiley, July 14, on Greenwood i 



became very sick immediately after taking a class of iced tea 

 alter his dinner, and was unable to row. It is alleged that 

 the tea was poisoned tit the instigation of gamblers. Riley 

 rowed over the course alone, making the three miles in SO m. 

 47 J r s., pronounced ihe shortest time on record. As Courtney 

 did not start, all bets, except those on Riley's lime, are de- 

 clared off. 



It seems hardly probable that the tea was drugged. Cheap 

 green tins contain more or less poisonous matter, to which 

 they owe their color, notably sulphate of copper. To a. per- 

 son in training and also suffering from the heat, such leas, 

 particularly if drank hastily, often cause excessive and pros- 

 trating nausea ; and the symptoms, so far as we can learn 

 them, point strongly to this agency. If the lea was drugged, 

 it is likely that this irritant— " blue vitriol "—was the agency 

 used. We do not like to entertain suspicions of foul play- 

 knowing the good character of all the principals to the malad, 

 venture. — EdJ
