The Turf, Field and Farm of this week says: 'FMr. Loomis writes us that the Char ter Oak Park track has packed finely and that it is elastic on account of it's turf bot tom. He states that it does not cup and that it is fast. The meeting which will com menee there on Tuesday next, the 18th prom ises to be one of the best ever held in New England. The classes have filled well, as will be seen by the list of entries which we publish in another column. The best known horses will participate in the turf battles. In the 2:17 class it will be observed there is new material Majo1ica and Rosa Wilkes will start against Catchfy, Edwin Thorne, Phyllis and Clemmie G. And in the $10,- 900 purse there is probability of what has been considered an outside horse going to the front. The favorite in the race last year was beaten after grand struggle. The Hart ford meeting will continue Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, and we shall look for great gathering of the people,"
 The Spirit of the Times says: 'sWe invite the attention of the multitude who have f1ocked to former meetings at Charter Oak Park to the large number of entries for the races which begin there on Tuesday next. The horses are select ones who have passed through the grand circuit, and are clothed with speed and stamina to live in the hottest company. The 2:20 race alone should as- selnble turfmen from the ends of the earth. ,"
 More than score of the horses have all ready reached the park, and another lot ar rived from Utica yesterday Among Thurs days arrivals were Frank, Fides, Majolica and Kenilworth- John Murphy's string.

Peace Convention.

The attendance at the peace convention at Mystic on Thursday was small on account of the rain. Amanda Deyo appealed for funds for the Universal Peace union, and urged the publication of weekly paper to keep the movement alive. MT. Buckingham and MT. Davis, of Philadelphia, spoke briefly. In the afternoon, G. W. AngeT, president of the Massachusetts society for the prevention of cruelty to animals, spoke, and among other things said that Congress should be peti- ioned to enact law that war should not be declared without 8 majority vote in it's favor, and that all mothers of sons liable to do mili- tary duty be allowed to vote on the subject Henry L. Clubb, editor of the Philadelphia Peace Maker, said that if Blaine and Logan were elected, with an intelligent working ma jority in Congress, we anticipate that in four years the United States will place itself at the head of all civilized nations on this sub ject. The Rev. s. K. Knapp, of New York, proposed one government for all nations, and that all nationalities could be governed by
 despotisn, and his cosmopolitan govern ment would be free. Such government would destroy nationality. It is nationality that induces pride. We Americans boast that we can whip the world, and that is what is killing us W. B. Washburn excepted to Mr-Knapps plan, &nd A. P. Tanner, of New London, spoke on the principle of love to one another as the only ground for universal peace

Entertainments. 

A fair-sized audience gathered in Carll's Opera House last evening to witness the first performance in this city of "Mizpah" and were much pleased. The piece is one which has many points that will tend to make it popular. Although the plot is light, the situations are well worked up, making very pretty pictures. The piece abounds in light music and lively dances. The star, Patti Rosa, is bright soubrette, in fact a little Sparkle of sunshine'' She dances very skillfully and prettily, sings we'll and acts with spirit and taste. She is very attractive and won the hearty approval of the audience. Her Support" is fair. Lester and Williams, two we'll known comedians, are with the company. Miss Frances Murdoch as 'Ele- amor Bascom" made good impression, and Mir John W. Dunne as "Antoine Mardi', and Mr. E. s. Halstead as Captain Beau mont' did good work.

RraYe Yonn~ Ladies.

An exciting event occurred at Sound
 Beach, Stamford, recently. Two young la dies, Miss Woodcock and Miss Burlingstone, went in bathing. They had plank which afforded them considerable amusement in
 the water. Neither could swim, however,
 and before they knew it the plank foated out
 into water beyond their depth. They were panic-stricken when they discovered this, and made 6 desperate struggle to reach the
 shore. One of the young ladies was sinking for the third time and the other had twice
 been beneath the surface, when they were
 rescued by Bertie Ferris and Bertie Fuller, young girls about thirteen years of age, who, with courage and address entitling them to high praise, rushed into the water and suc-
 ceeded in bringing the drowning young ladies to the shore. A few moments more of delay would almost certainly have been fatal to those rescued.

 The Following is From the New York
 Medical and Surgical Journal.
 Of late wine has entered more largely than formerly among the regular therapeutical agents, hence the great consideration is to obtain those brands the purity of which can not be questioned or denied.
 ItNis needless to say how frequently and how fearfully the practitioner has been mis- taken, and the patient imposed upon, after most earnest efforts to secure @ superior arti- cle.
 In view of the fact that the market has been, and is to-day, inundated with spuri- ous brands, adulterated in the most ingenious manner, and concocted from the most dead Iy poisons, which undermine the health and vitiate the system, laying it open to 8 thou sand dangers and disorders, it is with pleas ure and satisfaction that we recommend to the medical profession and public generally the brands of Messrs Heller & Bro, the well known importers of Hungarian wines. The wines of Hungary stand in the front rank and are positively free from nocuous ingredients which characterize the majority of wines at the present day. The best grades of Hunga- ! rian wines dry and mellow, and possess medicinal properties of the highest kind.
  1 tirely pure and not subject to adulteration ! of any kind
 1 The senior member of this firm, residing in Hungary, is enabled to give his personal l supervision to the selection of his wines, an advantage not possessed by any other i'm porter in this country or Canada. | These wines are of the finest quality, pos | sess delicate aroma, fine flavor, and are unsurpassed for table or medical use. 1 There are several choice brands whose in l vigorating character renders them facile prin- | ceps of all wines for revivifying a debilitated constitution and restoring the tone to a
 broken down system.
 l The Hungarian wines include such brands as Imperial Tokay, Ruszti, Menesi Azsu, all 1 of which are of the purest quality and finest | tone. These wines have in many cases bet l ter effect, and are productive of results more l permanently beneficial than iron, phospho- 1 rous, calisaya, other elixirs and tonics 1 now in the market. Indeed, they are fast l taking the place of the last named remedies. We have used them in our practice and l have found them to be of incalculable l benefit to the dyspeptic, giving, as they do, g zest to the appetite when other remedies have proved of no avail. We have tested them thoroughly and l found them pure.
 Having had an opportunity of witnessing their merit, we cheerfully recommend them to the medical profession as unequaled in their therapeutic qualities and well ca1cu- lated to prove of the greatest advantage and utility as a tonic and of the utmost benefit to the digestion and the general health.
