the race was run in exactly the same way as the first heat, the old chesnut going off at score, and aintaining the lead throughout. Pizzicato challenged at the Stand and everybody thought he had got up; however, he just failed to reach the chesnut and was beaten by a short head in 4.261-a performance hitherto considered im- possible. The results of these two races made it plainly evident-presuming both ponies were fit and well, which the extraordinary times leave no room for doubt that over a two mile course Driving Cloud and Pizzicato WCIC as nearly equal as possible. This was clearly shown in the race for the Feima Cup on the following day where the chesnut with 7lbs. the worst of the weights was casily van quished both by the dun, and the game Strath- poffct.

And yet on public form Driving Cloud has unquestionably proved his superiority to his probable most dangerous antagonist in to-mor- row's Foochow Cup. In the Chaaste Cup at Foochów, over one mile and three quarters, the two rivals fought out the rubber at level weights, with the result that Mr. St..

My opinion as to the result of the Foochow Cup, has already been recorded; but I may here express the belief that if Driving Cloud wins the Foochow Cup he will succeed in lowering the colours of

In this belt the tile fish, about which so much was said a year ago, were found in im- but this summer, although ex- peditions have been made for the express pur- mense quantities, pose of catching some, not one could be taken. Undoubtedly they had been killed, to a fish, by a storm which carried the cold water into the Gulf Stream; indeel, it is known that a cold current of water resting on the eccan's bed may contain Arctic fish, and a current of warm water floating over it on the surface may be alive with tropical fish.
As to the quantity of light at the bottom of the sea there has been much dispute. Animals dredged from below 7co fathoms either have no eyes, or faint indication of them, or else their eyes are very large and protruding. Crabs' eyes are surface water, which shows that that light is fee four or five times as large as those of a crab from ble, and that eyes to be of any use must be very large and sensitive. Another strange thing is that where the creatures in these lower depths have any color it is of orange or red, or reddish orange. Sea anemones, corals, shrimps and crabs have this brilliant color. Sometimes it is pure red or scarlet, and in many specimens it inclines toward purple. Not a green or blue fish is found. The orange red is the fish's protce- the bottom
Another amusing incident occurred during the interview before referred to. Our representative expressed a wish to get a written notice of the performance that took place at the Opera House On Saturday, and the sublime genius, with himself, for publiention. characteristic amiability, offered to write one
up-country paper.
The offer was accepted, and Herr Bandmaun dictated a most fulsome critique on his own per- formance, a thing, we believe, he is, from pre- vious, practice, quite capable of doing. The sentences, as dictated, were interlarded with such ejaculations as "S'help me, it's true,”—Entr' defe,

SEA MYSTERIES.
It having been brought to our notice that on scathing attack upon the Calcutta press, and as we were desirous of getting a copy of the said speech, we commissioned our representative to interview the noble foreigner yesterday afternoon, and "draw him. Our reporter therefore bearded the lion in his den. On critering the house, he was received by what he called "a grubby-look- been discussing native sweetmeals, and a pro ing girl with a dirty mouth;" who had evidently tuberance on the right check showed that she was still engaged in the charming occupation. After some little time, during which the lady was engaged in considering whether our reporter was a bailiff or an actor in want of a situation, it was intimated that the Herr would grant an inter- view, so our representative stalked into the pre- sence of the genius, whom he found engaged in a congenial occupation, namely, writing a threat- ening letter to a refractory member of his com- pany. After three trials he succeeded in making Says the New York Sun-Professor A.
