The morning bulletin, while favorably COM

he Co sidered the Presidents case very en-
couraging, and although there was every rea-
son to believe that the favorable condition
would continue, he desired to wait week or
ten DAYS before entertaining the idea that the

what has been gained will be maintained and
added to: but the difficulty is the Presidents
blood is in an unhealthy condition; and until
he recuperates sufficiently to overcome every
bad effect of blood poisoning, it is not safe to

time to consider the question of conyalescence.

The Toronto Bay Regatta.
TORONTO, Sept 9.-The first race in the citi-
zens regatta at Toronto Bay yesterday made
an inauspicious opening of the series of events.
The regular course was so rough as to render it
utterly out of the question to use it, and new
course was hastily laid out off the northeast
side of the island, almost out OF sight of all
the spectators. Even here it was decidedly
rough, but the referee, adverse to further de-
lay, ordered the four-oars out. Six crews
started, the two Celtics of Buffalo, Nova Sco-
tian of Halifax, Queen City of Buffalo, the
Nagle-Lee crew and the Torontos. A start
was made at $50 p. m, and the course, three
miles with one turn, was rowed over In some
sort of shape, but not without numerous fouls,
and the crews were allowed to turn any stake
boat they pleased, owing to the rough water.
The Queen City crew drew out soon after the
start, and the others finished with Celtic No. 2
first, Nagle-Lee second, Celtic No. third,
Nova Scotia fourth and Torontos fifth. At
midnight the referee, Mr.. Goode declared il
no race.
At the regatta to-day, in trial heats for single
scull races, in the first heat Ross was first, Ten
Eyck second and Hosmer third Second heat,
Conley first. Courtney second and Trickett
third: Third heat, Lee first, Hosmer second
and Maggie third. Only the two first men in
each heat will row i'm the final heat.
Conley aud Haman won in the double scull
race, Trlckett aud GAudaur second The final
heat in the single SOULS will be rowed to NOR

The Best Day Since He was Shot.

LONG BRANCH, Sept. 9.-To-day is conceded
to have been one of the best days the Presi-
dent has had since he was shot. During the
morning, the attending surgeon. while exam
lining the President, placed his finger on the
spot on his body, supposed to be directly. over
the ball, and the patient did not experience
any discomfort from slight pressure, and said
it did not-hurt him. 1t is not thought the ball
in its present location will render any incon-
yenience to the President in the use OF his
limbs. he is now able to raise his right leg,
which is nearest tho supposed location OF the
ball, as easily as he does the left.
The attending surgeons say they feel almost
confident that the ball has been located This
location is Immediately under the psoas mus
Gle, near the margin of the basis OF the peivis,
and almost upon the Inca factinea, and rig mt
under the external lilac artery, but removed
from il by the thickness of the psoas muscle.
The Presidents condition is much improved
The gland is doing nicely, and the cough which
has somewhat troubled him, is better also.
