were some hopes of her recovery, although the
cnances were against her; and that trained nurse
should be obtained take of her. Mr. Clark and
his father were at the hotel all the morning and
came to New-York in the afternoon TO get
a nurse for Miss Smith. Mr.. Clark was much
more composed than on the day following tue acci-

usually cool au1 care ul in uslng them lie had
bofr we'd the pistol TO 1t in the rehearsal OF the

danger of an accident. Some OF his companions ex-
ahmed the weapon at the rehearsal, and spoke
about Mr.. Clars carefulness IN extracting the car
trldges. There were many sympathlzing callers at
tn hotel during the day, and mauy people OF the
