Order of Races for the Big Event Tomorrow Afternoon. The ll-ui.club has decided to lay the cuse before the Canadiun Amateur Athletic Association, the governing body In Canada, and have a hatch ot Hun's anxious to become oarsmen reinstated iu the amateur ranks. Will Be Held Opposite the Old Ship Yards and Not Off Lake Park. The Boat Club regatta on Saturday will not be held nil' Lake I'ark us was .originally decided upon, as very little of that pleasure resort still remains above water. This doeB not interfere with its advantages as a boat course but make, it a failure from the 'Standpoint of the comfort of the club's friends who are expected to turn out In large numbers to witness the races It has therefore been decided to hold the races in the bay opposite the old ship yards, west of the C. P. R. -slip. There is an excellent course there aud spectators who do not go out on tbe lake in boats can get a good view of the races from the C. P. IS. track. The races commence at 1,80 tomorrow afternoon nnd the attractions are _o uumeious tbat it is expected the finals will be rowed about 5 o'clock. The executive committee of the Boat Club met last evening and made final arrangements for the regatta. It promises to be a most enjoyable social function as well as an important sport ing event. The C. P. Ii. nnd Mr. Procter's house boats will be moored along tbe course and on Hi's formei tea will De served during the afternoon. The ladies who are on tie lake will greatly please the.officers of the ol .b by visiting the houseboat and enjoying a cup of tea. The steamer Moyie will be out with the It. M. IS. band on board an.I the races will bu followed. If the weather is good the lake will no doubt be covered with ���mall eraft. A.M. Johnson will occupy the arduous position of referee and clerk of the course, A. li. Buchanan and II. H. Playford will be starters, W. D. . Downie and T. 0. Procter judges and ��� Harold Selous "ill look after the special events���the ladies' races, eto. The crews, nine in number, will race as follows: Fletcher vs. Dewar, Friday evening, 7 p. ui. Hodge vs. Winner of above, Satur- . day 1.30 p. m. ..Day vs. Bevan, 2 p.m. Hedley vs. Winter, 2.30 p. m. Ford vs. Thomson, 3 p. m. Semi-finals, 3.30 and 4 p. in. Finals, 4.30. Day's crew is Btill favorite but the] quartettes are bo evenly matched that tbe.,"talent" is by no means emphatic in playing uny favorite. The Boat Club has prospered wonderfully tbis si'iison. Last night about thirty applicants were elected members which swells the roll to near the . two hundred mark. Two new lap- streaks will be shipped on the 15th and will be us id for the first time at the Dominion Day regatta. Thev will double the club's supply of bouts and will allow four crews to practice at once The. club is affiliated with the North Pacific Association of Amateur Oaismen and is making a big effort to have next year's regatta of that organisation held here. If successful tbe club will have as its guests on thut occasion crews from Portland, lacoma, Seattle, Victoria, Vai .Oliver, Winnipeg and perhaps other places. Certainly no other city on earth can boast �� better course. But the club will have to receive very hearty support from the public as shells will bave to be purchased to enable the oarsmen of Nelson to compete with outside eiews and a club house should be built on the lake as the club eacnot completely prosper without a com- fottable home of its own. An effort will be made to send a crew to. the ���Coast in July to compete at the annual regatta of the association. This is not being done- with any great hope ot carrying off the championship but to assist Nelson's efforts to secure the next regatta. Joining the association means that the amateur definition must be lived upto closely. In Nelsou it has been the custom for years to offer cash prizes for athletic events and many young men have become professionals BOERS DEFEATED.

Ophir, witn the Duke and Duchess of York on hoard will be escorted to Quebec by no less than ten British frigates, und it is rumored that other foreign warships will also be in port at the time. Montreal, June 5.���Civil proceedings, in contemplation on behalf of Prof. Steen with the object of seeur-, ing restitution of his clerical rights, will be commenced forthwith. The onse iB in the hands of l.nllciir and MaoDougnll, advocates, who are taking necessary steps preparatory to an acton against the Archbishop for depriving Prof. Steen of his civil status and means of livlihood by piohibiting bim from the performance of his cler ioal functions In tbe diocese of Montreal. These proceedings are understood to be altogether apart from any action that, may be taken in the synod or other church courts. Jean Edouard Delpit is taking up his residence in Baltimore. Since Judge Archibald decided in favor of Mrs. Delpit, the plaintiff appears to have given up hope of obtaining a judicial separation under British law. A year's residence in Maryland enables one to take advantage of the divorce laws of that state. Mrs. Dol- pit'i lawyers declare that they will fight divorce in whatever state it i�� brought and points out Delpit's action is illogical. He pretended before the courts in thiB country that he had never, been . married and now he seeks-annulment of tbe marriage.

Great Northern to Build a Line to the Fernie Collorles. ;Great FallB, Mont., June 0.���The organization of the Montana A Great Northern Railway company, articles of Incorporation of which were, filed with tbe county clerk and recorder in: the county today, is significant as confirming the rumors of the past six months that the Great Northern had acquired control of the Crow'B Nest Pass coal fields across the boundary line, and of vast timber interests in the northwestern part of this slate. It was announced some time agio that James J. Hill had purchased tbe Crow's Nest Pass coal fields for 85,- 000,000 and that the construction of a line from KaliBpel to that property was but a question of a short time.- .... James N. Hill, E. Sawyer and M. D. Qrover of Minnesota, and G. T. Ross and I. Parker Ver.ey of Montana are named as the incorporators of the new road, which ie practically an extension of the Great Northern into its newly acquired possessions. Tbe capital Btock is 810,000,000, divided into 100,000 shares of a par value of fioo each, fully paid and non-assessable, The proposed road is to extend; from Kalispel, Mont., on "the Great Northern main line in a northerly.direction to the Canadian boundary and thence to the Crow's Nest county. One of thc first objects of Interest shown to visitors in Nelson, or if not pointed out, soon noticed by tbem,are the beautiful private gardens and lawns with which thc city everywhere is blest. In many of the residential blocks a house which has not a handsome garden attached is a rarity. The amount of care and work thnt Is expended each season hy various parties in Nelson on their gardens is immense, and the competition in certain lines of business here is nothing ns intense as the rivalry between some of the business men as to who shall have the choicest and most di. versified showing of buehes or shrubs, or whatever'their puiticular bobby may be. Mr. D. McCreath, lloiist and proprietor of the greenhouses op the corner of Cedar and Front .treat, when asked as to what varieties of plants gave the ..host satisfaction io town stated that verbenas and belitropcs grew very well, geraniums also grew well but were apt not to blossom so well, the cool nights affecting them. Almost all elassts of annuals are easy to grow here, while for roses, the conditions, from, the results., achieved, seemed to be unequalled. Roses equal to any raised in thc old country could be grown in - Nelson easier than, piobably, anywhere in Canada,. For shrubs the conditions were also very good, certain varieties that could not be grown in even Southern Ontario doing remarkably well in many Nelson gardens. Foliage plants did not grow as well us at the coast, but they were one of the few exceptions. A walk up Stanley street and along some of the cross streets amply confirmed Mr. McCreath'a statement, as it would be difficult to find a city anything like the size of Nelson in which so many varieties of Dowering plants and shrubs could be found. In Mr.. F. Fletcher's garden some beautiful rhododendrons and double-flowering red hawthorns were observed which it would be hard to equal in any locality. A. II. Buchanan has a number of horse-chestnuts and maples which are coming along nicely. This spring a great many horse-chestnut and maple treeB were brought into Neleon. The horse-chestnut seems to grow better in Nelsou.than in Ontario; the maple, if it survives the first year also thrives well, but some wbo had tried them lost many of the young trees through not wateri.g them sufficiently. Mr. T. J. Sims has une of tbe most select collections of plants in- town, embracing many tropical and semi- tropical specimens of great beauty. Dr.,LaBau has a very choice showing of spring bulbs, and ulso a number of .beautiful loses coining out, besides many flowering plants. Mr. R. Roisterer has a large num- biir-oi spring bulbs,- some of which were of exceptional beauty, and perfume. Messrs. Lawrence, Hodge and Sherwood also have gardens to be proud of. These; were a few of the gardens noticed in a hasty survey, but nearly a hundred were counted that were well worthy of.' special mention if space allowed. A lover of flowers Could not spend a more interesting day than in looking over the-gardens to be seen in almost any of tbe residential streets. When it comes to lawns Nelson is again well to the front. Looking after gardens and lawns here is quite a trade, a considerable number of men being employed during the season here at nothing else, although the results achieved by the "professionals" cannot beat what many of the amateurs have to show as a result of their evening and holiday labors. The present spring has been a very cold and backward one, but despite this, many of ths lawns with their surrounding borders of flowers are already veritable beauty spots. There is not,as far as observed, a single street in the city without some of" these beautiful gardens to( show the tuste nnd enterprise of tlie owners. Even in Fairview und other suburbs, beforo houses where the paint Is scarcely dry are to lie seen beds of gorgeous punsies, and other flowers. A great many of thu plants nnd shrubs are imported from tbe Coast and Ontario, but the locul dealers, notwithstanding tbis. did a surprisingly large trade this .ear in cuttings, plants and seeds. If Nelson citizens keep on us at present, in a few years the city will be able to claim the title not only of the Queen City of the Kootenays,but also that of the Garden City of thc Interior. When it is considered from what, in tbe beginning, unpromising looking soil nil this hns been evolved,it is indeed a strong tribute to the energy and taste of the citizens. WHILE SOME ARE IN EUROPE THE CITY SNOW AT SILVER KING��� People coming down from the Silver King mine yesterday report a fall of snow un incli uecp in thut moun tainous region on Wednesday last.

GOING STEADILY AIIEAD- A prospector wbo came to the city yesterday reported worn as going steadily ahead on tbe Mny and Jennie mine. Some forty men are now employed getting out ore. Prospects are also improving on some uf the neighboring properties. CHILDREN'S ENTERTAINMENT��� A social and concert was given last night by the Salvation Army at their barrack? in aid of the Childrens' .Self- Denia. Fund. The entertainment was engineered by the children, who collected the cakes and refreshments served them and rendered un interesting programme. The recitations of Nellie Lackey, Roy Gill. Delia Mc- L aughlin, Olive Hodge, und Winnie Foote, were especially worthy of mention. All- present seemed to have a thoroughly good time. GENERALLY OBSERVED��� Some of the stoies that remained open a week ago in spite of tbeir agreement to close on Thursday after noo.s during the summer had tlieii blinds idrawn down yesterday and their clerks had the afternoon to themselves, the holiday being, more generally observed than at any time since the first day. Next Thursday the hardware stores will follow suit. The mid-week half holiday is now an established fact and tbe organization of the Clerks Union will help to keep.it so. Remaining Members of Cabinet In Ottawa Working Overtime. YMIR STREET IMPROVEMENTS- Ed.

They arc registered at the Queen's hotel. The business men of the town have agreed to raise a reasonable amount and arc petitioning the government. to supplement this amount sufficiently to enable the work to be undertaken without unnecessary delay, IT RAINED��� One of the half-day holiday enthusiasts,, who bad planned it holiday yesterday and was detained on account of the rain, consoled himself by n poetical abuse of the weather In tho following metre: While I pondered, wet and weary,nursing up a wondrous theory aa to whether there waB sunshine, any -sunshine as of yore, presently there came a tapping, tapping as if someone rapping, rapping at my chamber door. "What it is?'.'I yelled, and jumping, while my heart went thumping, thumping, wide I pushed the chamber door: There I saw tne raindrops slapping, slapping, rapping at the door. "Holy Smoke" was what I uttered yes, 'Twas "holy smoke" I muttered, "it ia only raining more." Yesterday Tenth Anniversary of Sir John A. Macdon- ald's Death.

OPERA HOUSE lbreoir June 10,11,12 - i 4 * i i i m 1 ��� 1 i 1 THB HOLD UPS SENT UP, Rollan and Tlloomlleld Will Stind Tbeir Trial at tbe Next Assize. Z * The case against the two prisoners now in the lock-up on tbe charge of ho ding up Charles Johnson on Sunday morning last came up for beari-g at the police court again yesterday morning in the presence of a crowded court, and the result is that tbe prisoners are consigned lo the Provincial gaol where tbey will be incarcerated until _tbe fall assize to stand their trial. The chief witness called at tho morning sitting was Chief Jarvis, who was subjected to a lengthy cross examination, S. S. Taylor acting for the defence and P. Wilson, of llnl- liher at Wilon, for tbe prosecution. During tbe course of tlie cross examination the counsel for tbe defence endeavored to prove that the Chief of Police bad merely arrested tbo prisoners on suspicion, without having the least evidence for doing so. A long discussion occurred on such in teresting and relevant subjects as watch chains, hats, clothes and nose bruises, which occupied the full lime of the court until the noon an|ourn- nient. A few minutes befoie the court adjourned Alex Gardener was called in to give evidence in regard to the fact that llloomfielu bad lust bis "dice-box" and was then wearing a soit felt bat instead of tbe hard one he bad been accustomed io wear. Witness was put through a severe cross- examination by tbe defendants' counsel with the obvious intention of discrediting the evioence which was picsonted by the pioseeution. Julius Reisterer was then recalled by Magistrate Crease who wished to reassuie himself in regard to tbe lime of witnesses having .-.ecu tbo prisoners on Lake street. After the adjournment Mr. Taylor addressed tbe court and claimed that the evidence adduced, by the witnesses did not carry any evidence of guilt aud with the exception of Roisterer's evidence there was nothing incriminating and wa_ of such a character that no jury in the land could be found to convict thc prisoners on the strength of it. Mr. Wilson, in summarising the evidence, claimed that the testimony of Bome of the witnesses was very damaging and that the prisoners were not entitled to acquittal and asked that they, be sent up for trial. Magistrate Crease, in summing up the ease, admitted that the evidence of the man Johnson was not at all satisfactory and wns indeed stupid, but there appeared to be no doubt thut he had been assaulted and also robbed, lie claimed on the other hand that the evidence of the witness Reisterer had been given in such a straightforward, intelligent manner, and so manifestly bore the ball mark of veracity that be would have to commit tbe prisoners to the common goal, there to await their trial at. the first court of jouipetent jurisdiction Tbe prioner Rollun is au intelligent looking man of respectable appearance,Is well dressed and about twenty- five years of age.

Great consternation was felt by the friends of M.A.Uogarty of Lexington, Ky., when they saw he was turning yellow. His skin slowly changed color, also his eyes, and he suffered terribly, nis malady was Yellow Jaundice. He was treated by the best doctors, but without benefit. Then he was advised to try Electiic Hitters, tbe wonderful Stomach and Liver remedy, and be writes: "After takinf; two bottles I was wholly cured." A trial proves its matchless merit for all Stomach, Liver and Kidney troubles. Only '-5c. Sold by Canada Drug at Hook Co. A LUCKY KIND. What proved to be a more profitable find than gold happened the other day to a traveller from San Francisco, while at Innch in one of the leading restaurants in Nelson, lie ordered a portion of Pumpkin pie, when to his astonishment his appe- titie, which he had lost fifteen years ago in Arizona, suddenly returned to him, with renewed vigor. The pie had a very solid texture and a rich mellow flavor. Thc cook informs us that it was made from "The Morse Pumpkin Flour." None other just as good.
