escent into the Mammoth Cave,

MAMMOTH CAVE, July 2l.-The de-
scent into the hitherto unexplored pit IN
Mammoth Cave was made yesterday
BY A. D. Bartlett, telegraph operator
from Michigan, who found bottom at a
distance OF 1913 feet from the opening IN
the main avenue. The descent was
witnessed by about two hundred guests
of the hotel, who welcomed the young
adyenturer back with cheers and CON
gratulations. The rope with which he
Was lowered was dangerously cut In sew
eral places by the sharp rocks over
which it passed. When within ten feet
of the top on the return, the rope by
which he was suspended began to un'
twist rapidly, whirling him around IN
mid.air. Had he not been rapidly
hauled up, the rope would certainly
have been cut on the sharp ledges OF
rocks above.
