ALL BIDS REJECTED.

At the Masonic meeting last evening the
location of the temple being considered, 1t
was decided to reject all bids and a propo-
sition was made for the northeast corner
of Second and Market streets, which II
accepted, will be the site of the magnifi-
cent temple That location seemed TO be
most acceptable, considered in connection
with the offer made 1t is thought quite
possible that the proposition will be &C
cepted and the temple viii finally be
located at that point.
The lodge will further consider the
matter at its next meeting.

THE @rckENs SECOND READING.


Last evening Mr.. Charles Dickens, Jr;
made his second appearance in Hartford
and was welcomed by an audience that
filed every reserved seat II nifty n ali ana
the circle without the parQuet. Sgch an
audience on such a night. and especially
on an evening when so many people nad
previous engagements, was tribute 10
the reader which lew others wonlc nave
gained.
Mr.. Dickens read a different program
from the one announced, taking instead OF
chapters from ''Dombey X Son the Ia
miliar ''Dr. Marigold.n and instead OF the
shooting scene in Pickwiek the
famous trial scene in ''Barden against
Pickwick- 1t may be that the change
| in the last selection was a disappointment
to some of the audience who had heard the
trial read but had not heard the shooting
party chapter but the change was one for
which the reader might well be forgiven,
so new and keen was the light thrown on
the familiar lines by Mr. Dickens. Indeed,
it seemed to have been part of the plan
OF the evening to show how much more
lay in the familiar chapters, at which al
most every public reader has tried his
hand than had been brought out

Cheap John stood there telling his pathetic

splendid love story and saw not DR.. Mar

bowed his acknowledgment OF the hearty

The trial scene, with its broadly humor-

passages, was fully as successful As the
long reading. and the imitation of Mr..

Feeding for a Purpose.

Horse-breeders in Normandy and
Linmous:n. before turning yearlings
into meadows in spring prepare them
for the change by augmenting the ra-
ton of carrots; the latter are cooling
and aqueous. and suit admirably the
transition. The feet of the foals are
carefully pared fat before quitting the
sheds. 1t is during this period that
ioals ought to be studiously well fed;
hence, select appropriate pasturages.
In Normandy there are meadows hav-
ting a special repute for the rearing of
.oals. If the latter be of pure blood
and destined for the saddle. it would
hot be right TO place them in an over
rich pasture; that would be rather to
fatten them at the expense cs their
development. On the contrary, foals
which promise to become large and
heavy in build ought not TO be brought
up on meager pastures; such would
tend to make them fiat-sided and
spindle-leggei. Many breeders sup
plement the poverty OF the heritage by
auxiliary rations OF crushed oats or
barley; but nothing can replace good
meadow feeding in May or June.
