AN ORDER FROM WASHINGTON,
FROM THE s URGEON-GENERAL

OF THE UNITED STATES ARMY,
CONCERNING HoFF'S MALT EXTRACT,
the well Known beverage OF health, which has shown,
as it has been officially stated incalculable in
huence on the condition of the sick soldiers suffering
from suppuratons, debility, asthma etc., during the
last European wars. slGiEsf
We have to-day the satisfaction of citing dis
tinction c Inferred upon H0FF' MALT EXTRACT,
by the Surge0n-6eneral of the United States Army,
whose attention was attracted TO 1t probably by the
favorable report made to the New York Academy of
medicine, and who wrote to Mr.. Hoff that he might
send some OF his MALT EXTRACT to Lieutenant
Colonel Charles Sutherland, Assistant Medi al Pur-
veyor OF the United States Army at Washington, for
trial in the military hospitals.
This fact, in conjunction with the encomiums of
our first class physicians, speaks well for Hotf's
Malt Extract, Beverage OF Health, that furthur
praise our part would be superfuous, its ncredi-
BILE in short space of time being the best
proof OF its great value. ~ ITO - -

As was mentioned in our Saturday s issue,
Weston commenced on his walk of 100 miles
in "a consecutive hours at19 minutes before
o'clock Friday afternoon, leaving Dedham,
Mass. at that time. He passed through Wal
pole, Wrentham, North Atteboro', Pawtucket
and Providence, r. l., arriving at the latter
place at S,45P NJ, a distance of 30 IL miles
|. The Providence Journal says that when he
reached Pawtucket the rush TO see him was SO
great that be was. thrown down and trampled
on, and his trainer Jared worse, getting
sprain in one of his limbs. The crowd in
Providence was immense, and the police had
hard work to, clear a passage for him for more
than half a mile. While stopping at the City
hotel he was examined by his trainer and
found to have sustained no very serious injury
from his Pawtucket mishap.s When he left
Providence the police amused the crowd in
front of the hotel, while Weston slipped out
|, by back way and got out of reach before it
was known he was gone afsiUE3 tin
From Providence, r. T. he passed through
Cranston, Natick, Washington, Browns Hill,
r. l., and Sterling, Conn, arriving at Plain
field, Conn, 81 IL miles, at o'clock Satur-
day afternoon having accomplished only 81
miles in 20 hours. He stopped at Plainfeld
and was not to resume his journey until Mon
day morning 1t is stated that he was some

prevented him from proceeding as fast as
usual. i'E 'l'4l e7'ill 3 ttir ,.

WALTER Browns RACE AGAINST TINE
Quite a crowd of sporting men collected at
Z Forest City Trotting Park Saturday afternoon
to see the footrace, 8 miles in thirty-three min
utes, for 800 side. Walter appeared on the
track few minutes before O'Clock, in heavy
blue suit, looking fresh as a daisy and EVIDENT
ly in excellent condition. The track was clean
and hard, fresh southerly breeze was blowing,
clouds shut off the sun, every thing was in his
favor, betting included, though the average
time for each mile was only 6:36. Shortly
after he toed the mark, bare armed and bare
headed, in rowing suit of flannel with red
belt and cloth CATERS. At the word go he
started at Looping gait mouth open, contrary
to the rules, and made his first mile in Gas
nine seconds behind time. On the second
mile he improved, settling down to win and
showing some signs of distress as he passed
the line in6:2S, regaining eight of his lost nine
seconds On the third mile he tagged again,
making the distance in 644, just nine seconds
behind the enemy. Five of these seconds he
recovered on the fourth mile, getting his second
wind at the same. time, and coming in in 6:3l
1t was now evident that the race was Walters
If he. chose to take it. The first half of the
fifth mile was done in 3I3, one second ahead
OF time for the first time in the race, and the
second half in 3:05, making 80 :46 for the whole
race and winning with just fourteen seconds
to spare. He had been behind time on the
first four miles, and the applause as he came in
winner at the end of thesfifth was hearty and
honest The race was fairly won. 1t is re-
ported that Brown offered to walk against
time for $1,000 side, inbred and twelve
miles in "a hours on the same track. .,.... (
