 They understand the court circular business down in Wyndham county, Conn. The Hayses stayed at Wood stock a while after attending the Bow ems Fourth of July spread, and the royal chrOnicler, whose pen had been languishing for a subject, 10. these many years, rose to the occasion in the next weeks Patriot. Indeed, be swallowed the occasion, hook. siuker, and all. He describes the movements of each day and hour with a simplicity and fidelity that eau be matched, 1T at all, only m Oueen Victoria's account of her trip through the Highlands, and that grand work was penned by royal fingers.
 For instance: Thursday afternoon, Mr Hayes with a party of gentlemen rode to R0seland Park for a swim in the lake, which all enjoyed very much Later in the day there was a game Of polo. and "in tine intervals of rest be- tween the heats the ex-presidspt was seen rolling upon the gTGss, beneath the hackmatacks, like 0 school boy This was the biographeF's first day. By the next day he had thrown of his coat and got fairly dOwu-or Htner up-tl busl- ness, and we give his efforts entire:
 Friday morning, dr. and Mrs. Hayes and Mr. and Mrs. Bowen rode to Put nam's wolf-den ID Pomfret Both Mir. and Mrs Hayes stopped and put their heads into the dark and rocky retreat of the wicked old wolf, IS far as was practi- cable. With taiF 1sit both expressed themselves as delidlted, Mrs. Hayes having long expressed a desire to visit the spot. The eX- president cut two ma pie canes, which he presented to the ladies to assist Jtsm in ascending the gentle incline leains from the den, one of which has ben forwarded by ex- press to Mir. Hayes as a mementO of his call at this famous bstOrical locality
 Could anything b better, more graph ic, more pictures ne, more sultableE Most people would uaheasitatlngly an- swer no, but most people Were not born m Windham comfy. The biograPher knew better, and he saved his climax for Friday afternon- Listen;
 "Mr. and Mrs. layes, with Alr. and Mrs. Bowen and aarge pa--y ol ladies and gentlemen, rde C. the lake for bath. This WAS a iotabie and enjoyable occasion. Mr. anddrs. Hayes soon had on bathinc-dressesau and the whole party were in a most nilr.Ous mood. At one time all joined haIis and danced round and round, siHglH nor We, nor anyone else knowi what, though oats, peas, beans, and bFley grow, ripen, and are gathered ID. he rOars Of laughter from the party ,f bathers could be distinctly heard c the top of Mount Elliott. and even blf mile across the lake. For once Eteast all were chil- dren. and it wouli5e hard to tell who was the youngest, put fair vote and an honest count Oflll hands up would, We think, have gien Mrs Hayes the prize"
 As art. that dscripuon deserves study.
