The CrOakers and Alarmists.

l1>cH 1Uk lmes pO-uay.J
The absolute unanimity of all trustworthy
medical testimony in regard to the favorable
condition of the President will discredit in ad-
vance any further attempts to spread alarming
reports about his case There can be no pOssi-
bic doubt that he has had the benefit of the high
est surgical skill which the country possesses.
and there can be as little question about the
uniform success Of the treatment which his
wound has received. The alarmists who have
traded on the alleged reticence of the doctors in
regard to the gravity of the Presidents injuries.
have had as little reason for their forebodings as
those who have tried to show that these injuries
have been unskillfully treated. continuance
of the croakngs of either can be explained only
on the theory of sinister motives, and no news
paper having any pretensions to respectablity
can afford to give publicity to such matter. The
President is SO far cOnvalescent that tempo
rary interruption of the steady improvement of
his symptoms would furnish no proper ground
for alarm

RAINY DAY AND ABAp TRACK.

KATNf DAY And A BAD TRACK.
SARATOGA. n. Y, July 2S.-There were fair
prospects of an enjoyable days racing up to half
past IL O'Clock. At that hour the sky suddenly
became overcast. and a few minutes later the
rain began TO descend in torrents. The at
tendance, in consequence. is very limited.
The track is in a fearful condition. Marathon.

for the first race. and Franklin and Duke OF
Montrose in the last. This is the sixth regular
to-day.
The first race. q of mile was won by Sir

DR.. BOynton's More Hopeful View.

DR.. Boynton, the Presidents cousin and Mrs
Garfeld's physician, who has not taken buoy
antly hopeful view of the Presidents condition,
said last night:
He is in better shape and on better ground
than he has been at any time since he received
his injury. 1t has been the most auspicious day
since he received his wound. and when say
this l not only mean it but feel it. Some. at
least of the Irritating causes have been re-
moved, and so far as we know at present none
others exist. Still there may be fragments of
bone in the cavity, but the physicians will look
for them every time the wound is dressed.
There is now free and full flow Of
pf thy ~onnd tne s o~er @ 1ns portion m00ea Of
which is evidently healing His stomach is more
settled and Atains the liquid food given him.
His sleep, from half-past seven last night until
this morning, was broken but few times, when
he asked for nourishment and that his head
said to me: This is the brightest day have
had since my injury He then talked of family
matters, inquiring if the boys Harry and Jim
were diligently pursuing their studies, how Mrs.
Garfield bore up under the suspense, whether
her health continued good also, and exhibited
lively interest in domestic affairs. He is able to
draw his limbs up, but not to sustain them,
for they must be supported in a raised posi-
ton with pillows. He raises his arm and has
shown as much real strength to-day as
lapse Of Saturday last. His countenance is i'm
proved. Although his complexion is not that of
health, it is far better to-day than for ten days
past. There is more animation in his features;
his eye is not noticeably sunken for one who has
gone through the ordeal that he has. It is true
that the flesh of the forehead appears little
pinched, but this is not matter of surprise when
one remembers that he has lost in the neighbor-
hood of fifty pounds in weight. This loss of flesh
is more apparent in the fiabby conditions of the
muscles. He has not been able to raise his head.
but in giving him food and medicine it is ele-
waited to the proper height by two attendants.
Another favorable indication is that to-day his
food was not so distasteful to him as it was yes
terday. He did not loath it as heretofore His
stomach was free of nausea"

Washington Barracks Hospital.

DlDS rOh LAbOh ON The NEW STRUCTURE.
Bids were opened at 12 o'clock to-day in the
Office of Lieut.. Sebree Smith, acting quarter
master Washington barracks, Arsenal grounds.
for the erection of post hospital, "a bed ca
pacity, to be located at the right-hand entrance
of the Arsenal gate, in accordance with
plans and specifications by Messrs. Cluss &
SchulZe, architects. This has become neces-
sary in consequence of the conversion
Of the Arsenal into barracks for troops.
The bids were simply for labor and surplus ma
terial necessary in its construction, the main
supply of material having already been purchased
by the Lieutenant in charge from unexpended
appropriations. The bids were as follows s.
D. Phillips, SIS, ,495; John Henderson, S12, ,O57.
(including all the materially; 7. H. Barron 4 Son,
$4;9s7 60; George F. Adams, $685.; Bright 8
Humphrey, $S,375; James W. Grant.
1889; and Colum bus Thomas. $3.50
The building is to be Of frame, two stories high.
with brick case, and is a very appropriate and
neat structure for the purpose The pIan en-
braces an administration department and a hos
pital wing. The lowest bidder is Mr.. T. IT. Rar
ron & Son, who will doubtless obtain the work.
This, in addition to the barracks now in use
will afford all the accommodations at present
necessary, but more improvements viii have
