The start was delayed through tho froo tioii.-nofs of Tluindorholt, who la.-hcd out all round viciouply. Eventually, however, an excellent start was ellocted.

Thcso posil ione were rotained passing tho stand on tlio lirst timo round. Going past tlio viver stretch, Nordenfeldt improved his position, ami supplanted Isonomy as third liorso; but on approaching tho biidgo, Thundoibolt passed him, Kcmue and Isonomy still holding tho pride of place.

Ellis then brought Nor don fold t up to First Chester's quarters, whon tlio latter swerved right over the course, carrying tho favourite with him, and throw ing him out of his stride. Ellis, however, quickly righted him,and pullingNordonfeldt round, and up tho inside of First Chester, gained inch by inch, and by a piece of masterly riding, just managed to got his horso's head in front, eventually winning by a noso, after a most desporate finish ; Winchester, a length away, third.

THE SCULLING CHAMPION SHIP.

Another Match Arranged,

Svdxky, Octobor 30. A match has been arranged between Beach and Mattorson for tho championship of the world and £200 a-side.

[There has been come talk of thia event in aquatic circles for some few weeks, but it was not believed possible that the match would over eventuate, Matthieson's chances of victory ovor the champion being considered as about equal to that of a butcher's hack running against the wonderful race-horse Korden- Jeldt, A Sydney paper has the fol lowing :— Tho refusal of William Beach, the aquatic champion, to row Mattorson fora less sum than £500 a sido is as ungraceful as it is unexpected. . . . Tho curso of aquatics now is that thoro is too much money in the sport, and wo grieve to think that sports manliko contests such as we used to witnoss over the old Paramatta course aro things of tho past. Hanlan in troduced the " Hippodromo" (as they terra it in tho States) and big money business into Australia, and we are afraid that the seeds fown by tho Canadian havo germinated too well. And now for tho remedy. We havo often urged that the Colonial Rowing Associations should take the professionals as well as tho amateuis in hand, and now that bo able and experienced a man as Mr P. J. Clark is at the tiller of tho N.S.W. Association, wo think a settle ment of the present question may safely be loft with that body. Tho Beach party, no doubt, sco that as the steamer fol lowing tho race would carry some £500 or i'GOO, it would bo a "good line " to back any outsider against tho champion for a couplo of hundreds, as tho Bteamer monoy would inoro than recoup tho novice's backers. But such an arrange ment could bo frustrated by an enactment that in all championship matches tho winner should "annex" a much greater proportion of steamer money than the loser. As mattora now stand, a champion can hold tho championship for all time by simply making tho stakes up to such an extent as to mako them prohibitive ; and, looking back into Beach's careor, we fancy ho should be just about the very last man on earth to take sucli a course ]

As soon as it had been tested and proved by tho whole world that Hop Bittere was the ourost, bost, and most valuablo family medicine on earth, many Imitations sprung up, and began to steal the noticea in which the Press and the poople of tho country had expressed the morltg of 11. 8., and in evory way trying to Induoe Buffering invalids to uso their Btufl instead, expecting to make money on tho credit and good name of H.

"THE HISTORIC JESUS, THE CHRIST."

The Rev. E. Sommervillo delivered a Uotnn on tho above subjtct in St. Peter's Church tot night, under the auspices of tho Society to Promoting Christian Knowledge. He saUttit no difference o£ opinion exiated^v^to die bet that Jesus Christ was a real person, being asi man among men, and so influencing the maisei tbat the stcrut of his influence has been the great subject of inquiry in every genenta from then till now. At the time Hi was boi n there wis ■ a general fi-

, pectation that some great person would appear ' on the: si ;gu of lite, a universal poienulc. ' This had its reeling ground in Jewishllteruttuo. Tlic Jewish prophets foretold the adrentolsuch \ a person, and the nation looked anxiously In tho Great Deliverer. Thcsa prophecies:weri known to tho world, and Gentile as well as Jew looked for Him who was to come of UaTMI lino, and to sit on David's throne. Consequently whoa Christ was born in Bethlehem, and tha wise men fro n the Etat cumo to Jerusalem, ' asking, " Where is Ho that fa born Kin? cf He Jews!" KlnK Herod was troubled. .Remmand Strauss would havo Him born in Naterelbi but historical evidcuco is conclusively: BgaiMt them. If pronhecies were fulfilled in Urn life and work of Christ, we aro > hut up to thecto elusion that they had a supernatural origin, to who but He " who knows the end from flu beginning" could possibly havo told many i hundreds of years buforo the events that atf oortain time, of a certain family, in a certain 1 place, and under certain circumstances, H6 would come who would remove the serpent! power? and what finite mind could poaoly have conceived tho thought that a soffemi!
