There seemed to be some hitch in the decision in the race we spoke of yesterday in which Birdeye won thre heats and only,won second money. We clip the following from the Wilmington Messenger that may explain. Raleigh, N.C., February 24.—A ape cial to The Tribune from N ewbern, N. C., says: Today was an ideal one for rasing. The incident of the day was the last heat in the first race, when the judges gave ‘Tyrolese first place over Kitty B., stating that Kitty Be and Bird Eye fouled ‘Tyzoless. The decision was freely hissed. Hewiti, own- er of Kitty B., entered protest against the decision and demanded the purse and new judges for tomorrow. First heat in 2:25 class, one mile, resulted as follows: Kitty B. first, Bird Kye second, Myrtle Reak third, Beron Wood fourth, Tyrolese fifth. Second heat—Bird Eye won; Tyro- lese second, Kitty B third. Third heat—Tyrolese first, second, Baron Wood third. ‘Tyrolese, in the fourth heat on, Baron Wocd second, Bird Eye third. Fifth heat—Bird Eye won; Tyrolese second, Kitty B third. Sixth heat—Kitty B wen ; Bird Eye second, Tyrolese third. (This is the heat which was reversed and given to Tyrolese.)

Brown, a sailor 60 years old, who had been given up for dead, has just returned to his family in Lynn, - Mazss., after an absence of pine years. ~ Brown shipped from Boston in Novem- per, 1887, in the bark Clyde. The vessel ;was capsized? by a storm in . Madagascar harbor. ; The crew were —pescued .and returned to Madagascar, . where’ Brown shipped for Mauritius. | There he was stricken with fever and lay four m nths between life and death. Qn recovering he made two voyages . between Mauritius and Melbourne. ‘The bark in which he .shipped, being short handed, stopped at the Solomon Islands for men, but got none, and left hastily, because the captain feared the natives. Brown was accidently left behind, and for four years he lived with the savages. Ot the experience he says: _ “Imagine yourself in a menagerie, with’ 10,000 wild animals running -madly about, each one séemingly 3 thinking of swallowing you whule, and you may. have a taint idea of my first experience. After awhile I made my may friends among the natives.” , Brown was rescued by the bark Florence Elliott and taken to Sidney, whence he worked his way to Mel- bourne: !nally he wrote to his wife, a id’on receipt of an answer he shipped aboard the Germanic for home.—New York Sun. a] Printers’ Jargcn.
