Mr. J. W. Henuessy, foreman for Sir. J.

Similar reports come lrom other up-river puiute, which taken iu conjunction witu the state of the river here indicates that the freshet has seeu its highest. There is yet, however, the menace of the north water floods, which may uui yei nave uesceudeu. And in this connection it is recalled that the flood of l3 was caused by this rush 01 the north water, a day or two after the ordinary spring Jresliet had begua to subside, just as it is doing now.

OX LAKE DESCUEXES, Householders at Brituuuia were busy i.e ucars yesterday securing their coi-tiiges agaiust iurther inroads of the ire-shet. btoues were being brought in boatloads ail day lung to ballast the two or three houses already sapped by the flood nnd to weigh down the plans, sidewalk between the village and the station, lest the whole aliair should be carried away; The big boiUhouse similarly secured, lirm enough ou its foundation, but uny lurtlier rise will play havoc with the structure. The iuCL that up to fuur o'cIock the waters had receded an iuch or so wjs a source of great satisfaction to the villagers. Several breaches have beeu in the bulkhead aud when the flood subsides it will prob.ibly be fouud that the breakwater has sullered some, via; At Aylmer the demolished whirl aud stranded boats have quite au air ol desolation, while the rifts of drift wood strewn along the shore attest the lorce of the current and the fury of the waters, Noue of the boats, although all were more or less damaged, have been destroyed. The mill hands at Conroy were busy nil day yesterday, securing buouis und taking precautious agaiust lurther damage by the flood.

OPENED WITH A BOOM. i'if'lceu Hundred People iU-vel iu IH'lijhls tii tile LtccU'ic Farli. Every promise ol si-prioriiy over st in the oat-door entertainment line more than fuifilleu in the splendid programme ol attractions presented ut the opening of the L.ectnc Park last evening. was a suigle accessory wanting to complete the enchantment ol the surroundings, the improvements in the stage and seating arrangements; the comfortably dressed; walks, the flash of the electric lights, and over all, the pale green tints oi the new-budded Trees, contributed to a scene at once picturesque aud pieasiug The plcy-going public of Ottawa manifested their appreciation of the preparations which the management hud made for their entertainment by turning out in full force to grace the orieniug performance. Fully 1500 were present at least 1000 of whom occupied reserved scits.

The programme wes not a whit behind the choicest ever presented ou any variety stage in the country. THE MUSICAL JXTKIBUIIOX3 by Messrs. Swift and Chase were captivating in point of variety aud general excellence, round after round of applause greeting their several selections. Most interesting too, were the performances of Master Charles Carter, the( vwonderful boy magician. As a prestidigator he has few rivals and as an entertainer, exhibits a rare command of the resources of his wonderful art.

Perhajis one of his most taking specialties was the "Hot-coffee" trick. It is one which hundreds will go to see night after night during his engagement at the park. The finest resources of ventriloquism were drawn upon, to the intense amusement and edefi-catiou of the audience, by the renowned Prof. Grcufield, whose equal in the ven-trilogual line is seldo mseen even on the first variety stages in the land. MIRTH AXB Ml'SIC.

The city band rendered their programme of selections during the several intermissions throughout the evening in faultless style and equally appreciable, too, were the contributions of the orchestra whose selections are heard to very much better advantage from their new position in front of the stage. A SETTER SATISFIED AUtUEXCE, never quitted the gates of the Electric Park, and not only from their frequent marks of approbation during the progress of the performance but also from the commendation subsequently indulged in, it is safe to assert that the entertainment is bound to make its further wny into popular favor during the wek.

The annual general meeting of the Aylmer Club was held at Mrs. Kitchic's hotel, Aylmer on "Saturday evening and was largely attended. The club rooms were not available tor the meeting, access thereto being prevented by the high water. ilovever good accommodation was found in the ballroom of the hotel, which was very kindly placed at the disposal of the members by Mrs. Ritchie.

The representative attendance and the enthusiasm displayed at this meeting ougur well for the club's development. The treasurer's statement submitted shows the iinancial condition of the club to be in a sound and satisfactory condition; the debt earned over from the previous season has been wiped out and the balauco is now on the right side. The membership ulso has increased and now numbers iUO. It w.is the pleasant duty of the Executive Committee to be able to report that their different undertakings in the club's behalf during the past season had met With a very liberal share of success.
