The next dsy's work was the harvest Of all Tkis
remarkable fellow pulled Sunday last to Stonington
by Newport. He pulled ten hours. The distance is
60 miles. There was swe and cross sea beth, so
that sometimes !, almost impossible TO propel the
unstable wbeny at all. That, we think, WI do.
On the morning Of the Goth the Champion LETT sto'
pipgton, and rowed through very rough water. 10
Madison, distarce Of 40 miles. Leaving tus p'sce
Cd the morning of the 2lst he reached New'Hayen al
noon, and was taken in and entertained WIN
whortleberries Then he pulled over, by way
of anu ,ement, 10 q popular hotel on the COAST
and after affording the curious visitors chsnce
to be gratifed, departed on the morning Oh
"wednesday. On the distant coast he beheld man
waving flag and after regarding the signal awhile
n.aked his cars. This courtesy promptly recog-
nized and the boatman was hailed and asked II he was
The Boot. man, (snch is fame to which inquiry
was added an invitation 10 ashore and take some
wine. For a moment Mr.. Martin forgot that he had
temperance principles snd only refused TO go and wet
within because such festivity would interfere with his
course. Az the vherry was sighted all around, many
proffers of towage were made by heavy craft. Did
the mariners know the metal OF their man Were
they aware that be once, this trip, pulled ten miles
rather than have the Fraternity carried forty rods over
a sand-bar
The next landing was at SbipPings Point. Again
Mr.. Martin slept the sand, and In heavy rain
storm; but, he himself simply put it, he woke up
refreshed." On Thursday morning the wherry was
pulled to the next lighthouse and also stopped at Col
lege Point, where there melons in store, and
thence attracting more OF less attention. the adven
turer rowed easily into the harbor of NewYork. The
strange craft was first recoonzed by Coxswain Smiley
of Harbor Police Boat No. 8, by whom Mr.. Martin
was directed TO the boat-shop of Messrs W. II. g. j. s.
Darling, and there landed amid a wondering crowd.
The whole time spent 10 this unprecedented row was
eighty hours including the hours which were devoted
to rett. For The Information If the many who will
now do the same little tip, we append list of the
cargo of the Fraternity:

Mr.. Martin added testimony 10 the utility OF veg
etable Diet and complained that he could seldom get
fruit in the natural state unaoyed by base sugar. He
sat down loudly applauded, and Mr.. G. B. Griffin i'm
