The champions at the quarter- mile mark had a slight advantage, but as the three-quarter post was neared the husky crew from Jforonto, with the veteran Joe W right, the stroke, hittingther up, slowly crawled up and evened the Vespers. ~ Then the struggle really began, but the irregular training of the Vespers began to tell, and they slowly fell to the rear. At the mile the Canueks were nearly a length to the good. ' Winnipeg, `.WhiCh was seemingly out of it, was doing good work in the meantime, and by ne watermanship, crept slowly up on the fast failing Vespers and caught them. To be second was bad enough, but tobe third was gelling, so the Vespers hit up their stroke, but Winnipeg met it. and drove ahead. ` - uuvnub luau wuss. uunuvll LUIIIUVU UIIU HDIUU. While some parties claim their wheat and oats have been rusted through this agency, others claim` no such results obtain at all. Under a description of the bush given in Chamber's Encyclopoedia it i says :- A yellow fungus, }Ecidium Berberidis, is very general upon the under sides of the leave of the B.; .and a notion prevails that it pro- duces rust in corn, which is erroneous. the rust of corn being a totally different fungus, which. like this, is apt to appear in humid weather.
