New-EDglsnd Meteorological Society. says: No pre-
cpitaon occurred till near the end If The week. when

part of that plant has been and is growing well
Some report that potatoes and garden crops are
being slightly injured and in the south there is com
plant that potatoes have not up very well.
1t has been very favorable week for corn and 1t

continued dry weather II is reported that grain is
maturing fast in the south and that 1t is looking fairly
well.
Ithaca. June lathe weekly bulletin Of the New

tnuance of dry weather. the last week has been one
Of the most unfavOrablc Of the season for growing
crops The conditions reported favorable only
in restricted portion of the upper Hudson Valley,

The hay crop is now generally estimated at half or
less than half of the usual amount and in some sec

growth to make way for the second crop.
good crop of tree fruits is expected through the
greater part of the Hudson Valley and average yield
of apples is expected through the STATE Cherries with
strawberries and other small fruits suffer severely

shall sing the National hymn. The flags will be
displayed usual on the naval vessels at the Navy
Yard at the forts and reservations in the hsrbor and
upon all Of the public buildings Bat the flags need
not be those having forty four stars in the ednor will
those holstcd by the departmental branches Of the
Government have the forty -fOur stars. in view Of
the fact that Idaho and Wyoming have both been
admitted into the Union since July last The
law provides that son the admission Of new State
