ClingstOne and 'rhOrne,

Clingstone met his first defeat Fri day, at Utica, where Thorne beat him in three straight heats, though the time shows that the former was not at his best. The best time in any of the heats was 2:18 1-2, which seems slow when it is considered that the defeated horse has shown his ability to trot four or five seconds better. But Thorne's victory serves to intensity the interest centering on the two horses which will be at fever heat by the time the Hartford races come off The management of the Charter Oak park are awake to the situ- ation, and have therefore arranged for a special purse of $3,OOO for contest be- tween Thorne and Clingstone both horses have withdrawn from the free for-an to go for this tempting prize. This arrangement makes more sport all around. It makes the free-for-all an interesting and exciting contest where the winner cannot be named, while it gives Thorne and Clingstone a chance to fight it out alone, ensuring perfect race between these trotting wonders The trot between these two flyers will take place on Wednesday, August 3O. Everything is arranged for the most in- teresting meeting ever held at Charter Oak park.
 The report of match between Cling stone and Trinkett for the Hartford races was too previous. It will not probably take place. It is said that while MT. Gordon, the owner of Cling stone, has no desire to sell him, he will sell him for price, and that price is $10O,OOO.

The first camp meeting held at Pine Grove, was in 1856, conducted by Rev. M. R. Lent, pastor of the M. B. church at Falls Village. In 1870 an association was formed, John R. Ward being chosen president, Rev. B. H. Burch secretary, and Joseph Garfield treasurer. Prior to the organization, there were no cot tages on the grounds, and tents were used. The boarding house was rudely constructed building of rough boards The first cottage built was by J. R. Ward, and the second by Mrs. Oliver, of Falls Village. Since the erection of the first cottage rapid aceessions have been made, until the whole number now amounts to 75 cottages and 25 other buildings.

It was supposed by some that the greenback party had gone where the woodbine twineth, but it is getting to be pretty lively corpse. It has tickets in the field in many of the states, and last week the irrepressible Butler was put in nomination for governor in Mas sachusetts with full state ticket The platform declares that greenbacks must take the place of national bank notes and the latter be abolished, together with the banks themselves ''as banks of issue ;" that there should be estate board of arbitration" composed equally of workingmen and employers, for the settlement of all labor troubles that no one should be allowed to monopo- ize land, air and water, and that all cit izens be allowed the use of the ballot upon equal terms. It protests against convict labor in competition with honest workingmen, and denounces the arrest of American naturalized citizens abroad

Camp Aloha.

Among the many camps now enclr- cling the Twin Lakes, is the one with the above name. This name is Sand wich Island word, and means welcome, goodbye, and something like the south ern howd'ye. It means all kinds of good wishes, good time, good follow ship. The campers make themselves and all corners at home. There are now in this camp twelve tents gaily trimmed and adorned. The tents are made comfortable with floors and cot bedsteads, and beds extemporized in rustic and fantastic ways.
 It-is not camp of gypsies, but of men and women of cultivated tastes, en- toying themselves as best they can by the crystal waters and in the shady hooks, reviving woodsy nature of mans primeval condition.
 Among the campers are five or 'six sober ministers, with the soberness all turned into sunshine, and the minor key rising up gladly into the major. They don't preach much, but they let the pebbly beach and the rippling waters, the whispering pines and singing birds do that for the time being; and this change of preachers is somewhat refreshing and inspiring theology of nature instead of the theology of the schools. It is easy to see that they are having good time, and if a good time profitable one. They have been in camp a week, and will remain week longer.
 It is reasonable way of spending vacation. The scenery of the lakes is as inviting as can be found anywhere and there is no reason why they should not become great and favorite resort.
 It is evident that the apprehension so generally felt among the Connection farmers during the first week of August that the protracted dry weather had ru ined the potato crop, was not vel founded. The crop, as portions of il already gathered show, though it will not be quite so large as usual, is of very superior quality. There is no com plaint this year of potato-rot. The tubers are sound, handsome and (wher eooked) good and mealy. Dry weather apparently makes good potatoes.
 The market price is about $1 10 pei bushel, retail, and $1 at wholesale.
 A potato farmer and dealer who makes this crop speciality has this tc say regarding potatoes. When he dig' them in August, before the early fal rains begin, he finds they do better, fo1 winter keeping, than when they art housed in the fall He puts them, no into a cellar at first, but in a dry build ing above-ground, with windows dark ened for the purpose. There they ar' kept till about the middle of October or week later, and then he puts then In the cellar. Potatoes so treated, grown on ground not too damp, this ex perimenter says, will be mealy anC good, when cooked, all through tn, swinter and well into the succeeding spring. If this is so, the plan is wei worth trying, for as things go, the bes procurable potatoes are far from meal, during April, May and June and tn farmer who can guarantee a better al ticle can get a better price. .-Hartfort Times.
