game in Kentucky, il not in most OF the
States, is not a generic to designate all such
means OF sport, but has separated into spe-

Of game of horse racing he would be re-

Alonzo Bell, exAssistant Secretary of
:he Interior, who was recently appointed
special commissioner to visit Hot Springs,
Ark, and investigate the affairs of the res
ervation, furnishes the department with
some interesting information regarding the
qualities of the waters, the diseases most
benefited by their use, and hotel and other
accommodations for visitors. He thinks
that, under the fostering care of the United
States, the place should become the great
national sanitarium OF the continent, its

scenery, beautifed by art, inviting thou
sands to it as resort where health and
pleasure may be found in pure atmosphere
and agreeable climate. "Since the quieting
OF the titles, Hot Springs has advanced in
material prosperity. The improvement of
the creek running through the valley, by
properly walling and covering it, recently
determined upon by the department, will
still further advance its interest. Fine
houses are being erected, property is more
than trebed in value, better society is found
in the town, outside capital is being attract
ed, and on every hand there is evidence OF
a healthy growth and permanent improve
ment. The reservation west and north OF
the mountains, securing from spoliation the
fine timber which covers them, was a pub
lie blessing, and will add materially TO the
future beauty and comfort OF the place."
