HARRISON ON A HUNT.
Shoots Quails and Rabbits-Daus The
Town and Dana the Editor.

General Harrison is evidently enjoying his
brief hunting expedition. All the specials
speak of his success as a sportsman and the
New York World man says that when he re-
turned to the town OF Dana and the farmhouse
of Col. Bates, whose sons had accompanied the
party, the Pres. 'ent-elect counted his booty,
six quail, rai Jit and a hen-hawk, and the
other hunters had done their share. The wind
had blown thr ough his whiskers until they lay
every which way. The birds had been plenty,
he said, but the wind was too strong for first
class shooting. Bates folks were ready for
Harrison. Two young ladies who are staying
there-Miss Eta Haskell, Of Plainield and
Della Haren-had flags and campaign banners
stuck in the parlow windows, and each girl
stood at the door with tin horn to blow Har-
rison to supper. The young men OF the party
he'd turned around in the middle of the after
noon and hunted back to town. but the Presi-
dent-elect was ready to rest. For an hour he
sat at Bates weii-iaden table, and then smoked
and told stories.
How did this town Of Dana get its name?"
he asked, as he sat before the fire.

named by Col. Moore, who used TO be q super.

could take it back now and name it over again

''Why SOP" Gen. Harrison asked.
because Moore is a red-hot republican"
''Oh, was the generals laughing remark.
she needn't let that worry him Dana did us
as much good as any of them. II was amusing
TO read the Sun during the campaign. You
could see in every issue of it that it was knitting
Cleveland under the fifth rib know per.
sonaiiy that Dana wanted to beat Cleveland"
Then the President-elect began to expatiats
on the habits Of quail. Il have noticed" he
said, that they always rise with their heads
pointed In different directions, like the radu
of a circle, the huntsman as q center, 80 the
fight of every bird is straight from him =

Bright's AffectiOnate Letter to Glad
stone-The New Royal Academician.
Special Cable Dispatch TO THE EVENING STAR.
LONDON, Dec. 6.--John Bright's condition
fuctuates, and but little hope is entertained of
his recovery. His letter to Gladstone was
couched in affectionate terms, and thanks
Gladstone for his unvarying kindness.
Sir William Pearce, conservative member for
Lanark, Scotland, chairman of the Guion COM
pany, is ill, and not expected to recover. The
tories are already thinking of selecting candi-
date for this constituency.
The election of royal academician yester-
day in place of Frank Hill. deceased, resulted
in the nomination of John Bagnold Burgess
This was almost complete surprise. The names
confidently mentioned beforehand were Herko-
mer and Boughton. Directly the result was
known little knot Of artists models and mes
sengers rushed on to Burgess house ON Finchley
road. the custom being for the successful
candidate to make money present to the first
person bringing the news Burgess belongs TO a
rich and artistic family. He is a man of eccen-
trio tastes. He has in his mansion at Kensing-
ton decorations which display his strange
whims, one very fine marble mantlepiece has
the letters of the alphabet beautifully inlaid in
a semi-circie, but the letter b which is missing
here is inlaid in the hearth, in reference to the
cockney habit of dropping that letter.
