catching possible even into what is
generally regarded as Spring, SO that
the attractions and perils Of this Pc
culiar' amusement are still fresh in
the mind. Mr.. Stephens, in the
April number of Frank Leslie's Pop
ular Monthly gives the history of
these vessels, their present popular
forms, and describes wildly the ex-
hilarating sensations of spin over
the CLASSY ice in one of these fleet We.
hicles. Mr.. f. B. Mayer takes us
from the ice and its pleasures to the
balmier Chesapeake and introduces
us to the old towns and manors oil
the western shore of Maryland, giving
illustrations from his own artistic
pencil. Lily IIiggin, under the title
of "Romance of a Court" gives Q
most interesting account of the late
King Alfonso, of Spain. T. G. Val
entine initiates us into the mysteries
of "Indian Sign Language in Central
America" Lawrence Hutton revives
lecollections of "Infant Phenomena
who have pleased with their preco.
cious talent our forefathers or our
selves, from the days of young Betty,
brilliant in boyhood, and du ia
maturity. The story of the artist,
Gustave Dore, is graphically told by
Ii. Tyrrell. "Meals and Mealtime'
is a subject certain to attract, while
"The Frenchwoman in the East" tells
of two recent French travellers of the
fair sex. A very curious article by
naturalist on what are popularity
called Inca's Eyes solves all the mys-
terry about these curious objects, con-
corning which 80 many absurd
stories have been running the rounds.
The stories are all good. Besides
the Daughters of CAIN" by Eta

Walter Edgar Mccain, c. L. Hill

GRAND CIRCUIT rKoTrING.

A Successful Meeting at Hartford
 Three Favorftes W1n-Large Attend.
 ance-The Queen Wilkes Race.
 The first race at Charter Oak Park will be called to day at o'clock, and after the days programme has been trotted the Hartford meeting will close, when the circuit with it's string of followers will meet next week at Hampdsn Park, Springfield. The Hartford association will undoubtedly make a large sum of money out of the meeting.
 The citizens of Hartford generally take an interest in the trotting, and many firms have good business during race week, as the races bring large numbers of people to the city.
 The first race called yesterday was the 2:27 class, which was postponed from Thursday. Electric and George w. were pool favorites, having about an eqnal number of packers at odds against the field. Electric made short work in the race, winning in three straight heats.

Just after, he felt sensation as if the hotel was being raised from the ground and sway ed in the air. The lights were extinguished and plaster began to fall. In total dark ness he groped his way down stairs amid falling plaster and while the building sway ed and trembled. An unearthly din and moaning sound came from the surrounding streets mingled with the crash of falling walls and timbers. Escaping from the house amid falling bricks, he took refuge in park, where hundreds of people in agony of fright awaited daylight's coming. He does not believe that single building in Charleston escaped uninjured.
 This afternoon the district commissioners issued the following "notice to the public:"
 WASHINGTON, Sept. 3, 1886.
 The commissioners of the District of Co., lumbia are desirous that all shall be done that can be done to manifest the sympathy of this community for the sufferers from the late terrible disaster that has befallen our neighboring city of Charleston, s. c. Hav- ing no municipal means that they can appro- priate to that purpose they will have to look to the hberality of the citizens of the District for creditable response to the call for re- lief. They tender themselves ready to re- celve contributions from citizens, which they hope will be promptly and fully made, and to see that they are properly disposed of. Liberal Subscriptions for the Sufferers. NEW YORK, Sept. 3.-A meeting of citi- zens was held today to take measures for the relief of the Charleston sufferers. A committee was appointed to solicit funds Over $3, 500 was subscribed, Messrs. George W. Childs and A. J. Drexel each subscribing $1 ,000. A telegram was sent to the Mayor of Charleston to draw on Drexel & Co., for s, ,000, as that firm had been selected to act as bankers for the fund.
