Government bas passed a very t Order-ln-Council, destined to nasist very materially a oumber of deserving Pro: vineial railways, without ia amy way adding te the obligations of the Province.It will be remembered that soveral subsidies voted the Legislature were to lapse ou the 30 June last unless specially provided for to the eontrary.Seeing that many of these bad been voted to ing companies, which for ressoms beyond their control could mot complete their roada by the date mentioned, the Government has averted widespread ruin and disaster by adopting an Order in Council, subject of course 10 ratification by the House, extending the delay for the completion of such roads to the 30th Ileceniber, 1898.The rende affected by this Order-in-Council are the Pontiac & Pacific, the Bais des Chaleurs, obec, Montmorency and Charlevoix, the wa & Gatineau, the Orford Mountain R.R, the Quebec & Lake St.Jobs, tbe Great Nerthers (Parey Sound), sad the Richelion Valley Railway {continuation ol the United Counties Railway).Tribute to the Memory of the Late Sir Lesnard Tiley.In the course of à very i delivered ia Trinity Church, Quebec, recmtiy appoin Rector, the Rev.BE.JE , B.A, on Sunday last, every g reference was made to the wemary of the Iste Sir Leonard Tifley, whose death at St.Johe, N.B., Was recently re- cordod is our editerial colams.Taking for bis text, I Samuel, 12th chap, 24th verse, *enly fear the Lord, and serve bim in truth with all your beart,\u201d the revd.geutleman drew therefrom some very | lessons, ve sermon the practica showing the necessity of a faithful adherence to the text in the lives of all true Christians.As au instance he illustrated the life of Sir Lessard Tilley, whose example was held up for imitation, whose character wa a politician vas uasallied, and whose deep and true Jevotion to the cams of religion and temperance was so well knows, even to the close of a loag sad eventful life.The honors bestowed om him by his Quesn aud conotry, however kigbly valsed, were not to be com to the of a title to bé culled à Tree Servant of God.The Ottawa Citizen sayy :-A feature of Lhe Prospective change in the administration is the \u201crush for seats\u201d in the Howss of Commens.There ie the usual competition on the respective sides for desks as near the front as may be.The first four rows om either side are by castom allotted to re-elect- ed members, while new-comers take chances ef zhe more desirable seats further back, In the recent Parliament wo large was the ad- misistration\u2019s majority io the House that about twenty supporters of the Government bad to be accommodated on the Upposition benches.The probabilities are thas in the ssw Parliament the respective parties will be pretty well accommodated os their respective sides of the House, so very narrow is Mr.Lanrier\u2019s majority likely to be.Suill, some of the Liberal members have made requests te tbe Sergeant-at-Ares to be allowed to vetain their old Mr.Charlton, for , has for years occapied a front seat en the Opposition and be wants to k it.Mr.Scriver, who has for several Perl ts sat three seats back of him, is Shortly alter ten o'clock the grard street propension of wheelmen was staried from fferio Terrace.The route followed by the | was from the Tertace, thence ma Stie, D'Asteuil, D'Youville, Bt, Johs, , immediately sfter the five-mile, open, anpaced, Davidson, McCall, Loughead Alf Young, F.W.Young, Wills and Elliot On the start Elliott took the lead with Loughead and the cthers following closely, but at a snail's pace.Elliott made n grand effors to win on the home stretch, but Loughesd was too much for him, fivishing in 1.25}, with Elliott second and Alf.Young third, follower by Gatz.Owing to the three heats in the 5-mile ama- webey 6 QUEBEC, WEDNESDAY, JULY 8.1896.2nd.A.MeKachran, Touriets, Toronto.Also started, À.J.Parr, 0.À.A.C.Tuff, Wanderers, Montreal.Time, 2.45.PISAL.Time Limit 2 35.Ist.L G.Cameron, M.B.C.2nd.A.McEachran, Tourists, Toronte.Also started, JB.Shillinglaw, Sarnia ; 8.N.Sancton, Nt.Joho.Time, 2.25 TWO MILE, TANDEM, CHAMPIONSHIP (PROFESSIONAL.} Ist.McCall and Gratz, 20d.Wills and Alf.Young, Also started \u2014Harley Davideon and Mae- Intost, Elliott and Fred.Young.Time, 5 34.FIVE MILE, CHAMPIONSHIP (AMATEUR.)

successful, because so many witnessed it and because Quebec men had it all their own way, an?disappointing becanse of the shameful and uneports manlike conduct of the spestators who crowded in behind the first man and gave the others no show in the world.It was no use trying to stop them for they acted like #0 many children, | There were only six starters and five of them were Quebecers, for the mere sight of the hill was enough for moat of those who .entered and the reputation which Quebec .boys have for hill climbing was also dis- coursging.The course was from Dalhousie (atreet to @ line opposite the Chateau Frontenac.! Those who started were Ilevarennes, of L'Eclaireor Bicycle Club, Quebec ; Lachance, F, 8.Stocking, Edmond Laliberté and Reid, of Quebec Bicycle Club, Cas well as W.Si Mitchell, of Montreal, | The last mentioned dropped out at the \u201cmart and Lalibert made off with a rush .which carried him 100 far across the rosd at the Canalisa Express Company's otfice and caused him to lose time.Here Lachance took the fea] with Devarennes and Stocking close behind.About opposite the atore of Mr.Roushier the crowd closed in so as to koock Reid and Lalibert:, who were riding well, off their wheels.This left the race between [evarenaes, Lachance and Stocking.Devarennes passed Lachance about the Post Office steps and gained steadily to the end, being some twenty yards in front of Lachance at the finish, Stocking ame close behind Lachance, riding » plucky race.Reid and Laliberté entered protests on ac- ; count of the crowding.The course was over : à quarter of & mile 10 length ned was covered in 3.40.SECOND DAY'S RACES.The number of spectators that assembled on the Q.A.A.A.grounds for the races yesterday afternoon was very disappointing.Not more thas a couple of thousand people were present and most of them were sail Still, those who were enjoyed the races.Quat fore rly in the contests, winning only the hill climbing contest in the morning.The track was in fair condition for the races, and although there was much loafing, atitl some of the finishes were excellent.| The time in the second heat of the amateur half mile, and the time for the last lap in the tandem race, were the best so far made.Blaney, ©f St.Catharines, wes suspended for 2M) days for looking behind in the mile {opens} mateur, while Carmen was disquas- litied for fouling Hulse in Lhe one mile amateur championship.Graves had a bad fall io the half mile aad severely hurt himself, while Drury went over him bat escaped iojury.The Wanderers\u2019 Band, of Toronto, played during the afternoon on the grounds and was highly amuning.The races started about 2 30 with the same cllicials ss the day, before, and all passed off | splendidly, although Quebec dad nat sscceed in getting any of the prizes.THE ONE MILE HANDICAP (AMATEUR) proved to be a well run race throughout, and ia the second heat especially was very hot, Roy forcing the pace in great style.The first heat waa, of course, slow, but the riders finished well together, and the finish in the for, MILE CHAMPIONSHIP PROFESSIONAL.The first heat of the half-mile championship, professinnal, was the worst kind of a loaf and tiratz tinally had 10 lead.On the second lap Davidson made a jump and came in well ahead, with Elliott » good second snd Lougheed « coupls of lengths behind.The second heat was even alower, Angue McLeod coming in easily and watching the remsinder of the field.McIntosh was second, a wheel behiud and Mills pushiog him hard, In the final Brown and t were put on tu set the pace and Elliott caoght the tandem.About lull way up the second lup Davidson sneaked and before the others koew where he was had gained an immense lead.Lougheed sprinted hard to catch up but it was impuestle.He, however, beat out M:Leod Ly scveral inches.TUE MILE CHAMPIONSHIP (AMATEL K) went off in 1wo trial heats, both paced by a tandem.Hulse fell while trying to catch the tandem sod brought Carmen with him, and Carmen was afterwards disqualified for fouling him.Stackhouse caught the tandem aud held on toit.Coussirat spurted hard oo the last lap and came in 30 or so yards shead of Davidson, who took his time and finished about the same distance ahead of Stackhouse, The second heat was a close one but slow.Drury fell at the start and _ claimed a fo which was not allowed.The final of t event was a great race.The riders bunch st the start, with John Ilavidson holding the tandem aud Hulse close behind in à pocket.Un the last lap Coussirat apriuted for all he knew how and came even Davidson, but John put on a little extra gait and pulled away from him.The finish was very exciting, with Cuussirat henging os to Davidson's rear wheel and Axton about six inches behind him.THE FIVE MILE t HAMPIONSHIP (PROFESSIONAL) saw cight starters, paced by a tandem with Brown sad Cooper pushing it.Aogus Mc.Leod caught the tandem at the start.The time caught as the miles weat by was 2.57, | behind them.THE ONE MILE, PROFESSIONAL, HANDICAP loaf at first.On the last lrp, however, Fred Young got op a smashing gait and shot for= warl alone, leading well at the turn before the stretch.Lougheed had the speed in him thongh and beat him out about a yard at the fluish.Harley Davidson lost his toe clipat the first torn and tried to catch up, but had to stop.Davidson's improved form yesterday was largely accounted for by his increasing hie gear from 70 to 84.THE ONE MILF, OPEN (AMATEUR) was done in 2.21.25 end was a very pretty race.A prize was offered for settin the pace spd L.t:.Cameron, of Montreal, took it, A feature of Lhe race was the splendid sprint developed by Axton at the end of the race.Blaney, who finished second in good shape, kept Inoking round and for doiog so was suspended for 20 days by the Chairman of the Racing Board.John Devidson finished a close third, but Cameren: geta the prize, MILE HANDICAP (AMATEUR).1s?near.lat.E.A.Smead, 30 yards, Montrealdud, M.% Mitchell, 50 yards, Montreal.3rd.Le ti.Cameron, 30 yarde, Montreal.4th.M.G.Walk: 51 yards, Peterboro, Sth.Thompaon, %5 yards, Woodstock.6th.\\W.Toff, (scratch,) Mootreal, Also started\u2014H, Cooke, 30 yarde;

that Mr.Laomiza\u2019s slate is mow complete, and that when he gets hin swmmons from Lord Ascaseex, he will be in a position to name his colleagues.He has had a busy four days of it, last week, at Montreal, and Liberal members from all parte of the country were, for hours, in close consultation with him.We bear that it was not all pliin sailing with him.The bids for office were numer- eus, and the coming Premier had much difficulty in soothing the angry applicants, and getting them to wait for the sweet Toye and bye to rull their way.It seems to be pretty well understood that this Province will be represented in the Cabinet by Momrs.LaurixE, Taxsa, GEOFFKION and Fisnzx, who are to bave portfolios.Sir Hexns G.Jouy pa Lorsinmere will be imvited to join these gentlemen, but merely sa » figure-head, no office being assigned him.Sir Hexus himself, we understand, isnot averse to this arrangement.Mr.Frezraraick\u2019s name is again put forward for the Solicitor-Generalship, though we believe, be je, personaliy, not making much of an effort to secure it.There was talk, some time ago, of shelving Mr.Mancmaxp, the Provincial Liberal leader in the House of Assembly, and sending him to Paris as the successor of Mr.Hecrox Faszs.But this scheme has since fallen through, and matters will remain as they are for atime.The Local Liberals do not think that Mr.MancHaxeb fights hard enough.They want a \u201c\u2018tesror\u201d Kke the late Mr.Mencien, but if Mr.Tasss would consent to run fur the Amembly, he could probably have the position of leader of the Quebec Opposition, to-morrow.His friends say that he would fill the bill to their entire satisfnc- tien.Bat itis just possible that Mr.Taxrs bas other aims in view.Ottawa, for an empty honour, which car- vies with it no salary, but plenty of work.Mr.Gmorrnion, it is stated, covets the portfolio of Justice, and it is possible that he may get it, as his friends appear to ony that he has plenty of capacity for the duties of that important Department.Mr Davizs, of Prince Edward Island, a few days ago, had the \u201cinside track\u201d for this pince, but rumour informs us, that he would be just as contentod, were he made Minister of Marine and Fisheries.That office must be filled by a Maritime Province man, and the \u201ctight little Island\u201d beld it once, in the person of the late J.C.Pors.\u2026 The Postmaster-Generalship is still mark- od opposite Mr.Joux V.Eutts' name, and Col.DoxviLLE is sare to be our next Minister of Militia and Defence.We notice that the Western Liberal papers are very much distressed about Sir Cuarces Turrun's fature.When they say that he in unpopular with his own party, and that his culleagues will not seve under him any more, they are but expressing the wish which is father to the thought.When Sir CHARLES retires from the Premiership, he will likely all a meeting of his friends, and at that meeting the question of leadership will be decided im an amieable manner.One thing is certain, be will not be thrown over as Mesars.Macæexzie and BLaxs were by the Liberal party of this country.If, at his advanced age, Sir CHances wishes to lead the Oppoto say that his services in that capacity will not be ignored.A good, healthy Opposition is needed, and with Sir CHauLes Torrsr loading the English Canadians, and Sie Aporrne Carox leading tho side, the mew

Instance alone 900 standards of gondn were ordered down to Montreal by three different shipping houses at the request of the steamship owners, and is was afterwards found that the steamers could only load 400 ytandards, The result of thin is that goods in their bright stata have tobe landed on the dirty coal wharves at Montreal in a confus.od sort vf manner, and become very unsightly.Some reformation in the method contracting with steamship owners should be adopted and a hard-and-fast line drawn compelling them to take something or near about the quantities they order : à few standards
