the land, and gaining at the rate Of
fifteen pounds a day. We intend to
attain the utmost allowable limit in
weight or burst in the attempt.

learn that the ball is postponed for
three weeks. This is not gratifying
news to those restaurant keepers, but
it gives us more time for preparation.

Cinnamon were sent v e the other
