CATS ABROAD. —The Providence Doily Journal publishes au 

 account written by an eye-witness of a race between Mr. flower's 

 boat Glearn, sent out from Providence, and two English built Unas, 

 off Cowes, Aug. 13. One of these was sailed by the Prince of Wales, 

 the other by Lord Beresford. Glearn did not enter, but went 

 over the course, we should say, about two or threo times to tbe 

 other's once. In view of the failure of the Georgie and Annie to 

 do anything of the kind with the Clyde yachts, we are compelled 

 to believe the story of the eye-witness a little fishy, or else the 

 Prince of Wales and his competitor mighty poor sailers of small 

 boats. In logging the race in question tbe English sporting prints 

 fail to record anytbing wonderful on the part of the Gleam. To 

 suppose they refrained from mentioning the striking performance 

 an " eye-witness " sends home, merely from prejudice as asserted, 

 iB proof enough that " eye-witness" himself has not yet shed his 

 provincial shell. If Mr. Gower is honestly seeking races for his 

 boat, ho can be accommodated with plenty of private matches if 

 open to fair terms. There is no necessity for relying upon the 

 brag of a giddy head for his boat's reputation. 



TORONTO CANOE CLUB.— Kaces, Sept. 10, included a com- 

 bined paddling and sailing raco, which was won by Hugh Neil- 

 son's Bacine Shadow Telephone, beating S. Hicks in tbe lap- 

 ftreak Whisper; F. M. Nicholson's Rapine Shadow Sadie N,; W. 

 B,. Burrage's open Bice Lake Seagull, and Wm. Black iu the 

 Fairy. The last two capsized. In the 100 yards capsizing race 

 S. Hick won in his Bob Boy, with M. F. Johnston second in a Ba- 

 cine Rob Boy; W. Arnold third iu the Fany; 1 1. W. Kent fourth in 

 the Seagull." Johnston was the first to board his canoe after the 

 upset, but he was passed under paddle by Hicks. The remaining 

 raceB will probably take place Saturday.
