Rowell looks quite fresh after his great
work of yesterday. His appetite is good.
Weston is lively as usual, and swings him
self around the track in a free and easy kind
of manner, as if he did not care whether he
comes in winner or not. His most ardent
friends are beginning to doubt that he ever
made 500 miles in days.
Between twelve and one O'Clock the gar
den seemed filling up, but very gradually.
There was little applause except from few
circles of friends of the contestants. Rowell
began running about noon, and seemed to
have no trouble in keeping up his pace. The
colored boy, Hart, gave up DIGGING Rowell.
He is feeling well, but does not expect more
than place. 1t was expected large crowd
would flock to the garden, but the public will
not pay a dollar for the privilege of seeing
nothing but few men struggling around the
track.
Betting, at l.30, was 20 to against Wes
ton; u to against Guyon; 3 to ! against
Ennis; 80 to | against Merritt; 3 to against
Hart; 100 to against Panchot; 100 to
against krohue. Guyon and Merritt are
both doing well.

a good deal of amusement was created at
the State Fair by practical joke played off
by some of the boys on the exhibitors of
choice plums. AS usual. a lot of advertising
circulars were distributed about the hall.
over the piles of which cards were placed re-
questing the visitor to "Take one" Some
rogueish boy transferred one of these cards
to the fruit table, and to the CONSERVATION of
one of our most noted raisers of choice
plums. each boy that came along took one
Indignantly asking what they meant by their
conduct, they pointed to the card conspicuously
displayed, which invited them to Take one,
but which had not attract d the attention of
the exhibitor, who supposed it was one of the
usual notices of Glands off," The joke was
so good that it set him into such fit of
laughter that it was some time before he
could either remove the card or stop the boys
from devouring his choice genealogical dis
play.

est beneficiary is over 81 years of age. His
name is Randall Church of Taunton, Mass.

inmate ofthe Home several years. The num-
Der of inmates cared for during the year 1878

could do neither. Of the latter 20 per cent.

the whole number one has lost both arms, 20

ablcd by other wounds. Four are totally
| blind and eighteen are partially so. The
healthiness of the location is such that only
one inmate has died from acute disease since
the Home was opened. The prevailing dis
eases are of "a chronic character and are al
most entirely the result of exposure in the
field.
The supply of food furnished is always am
pie, the quality excellent and the cooking
equal to that of the best hotels, and is done
at muchless cost. The special diet lists for the
sick fully equal those Of the best hospitals in
the country. The average cost per ration
for the year was 1915 cents. To show that
some eating is done at Togus, it is only nee
essary to say that Ia, 237 pounds of beef
were consumed the past year. All labor and
service in and about the Home, as far as pos
sible, is performed by the soldiers themselves,
and the total amount of wages received by
them last year was 500, 1856. The only me-
chanical trade carried on at the Asylum is
the manufacture of boots and shoes, and last
year there were 50 men employed, the total
product of their labor being ST., $40, with a

was GG4, and the total amount paid them be-

They are not allowed to vote at elections,
and yet OF election day their interest in poll
tics is such that they often hold an election
to ascertain the expression of the Home on
the tickets in the field. There are many
more interesting points that might be touched
upon, but we have cited sufficient to reveal
the beauty of the Home and its surroundings,
the grand institution which the country has
given to its disabled defenders, and the ex-
cellent management which has characterized
the institution under Gen. Tilton.
