The Cost of Prescriptions.

At the dispensaries in New York
where poor patients are treated without
charge it is customary to ask, so that
the charities may not have pauperizing
tendency, if any payment can be made
on medicines dispensed. The statistics
show that 60 out of every 100 persons
pay the charge of ten cents for each pre-
scription. This collection of 60 per cent.
of ten cents for each prescription pays
for all the drugs used, and also for the
clerks employed to compound and dis
Dense the medicines

SO MANY OF MY OLD
EA Club members have asked
to join other Clubs, that [
shall continue to run Watch Clubs
in connection with my regular bust
ness until everyone is supplied
with a good Watch.
In a few weeks more, the last
number in my first Clubs will have
drawn, closing a most successful
season of popular Watch Club
Drawings.
The total membership, in all nine
clubs, was nearly six hundred
scattered over the different
islands, larger number than I
ever anticipated having.
The NEW SERIES will be con-
Quoted on precisely the same plan,
and I again shall allow members
not desiring Watches, to take such
goods as they may select from my

Club No. s began drawing two

places open yet, and all those
desiring to join will find it tx
their advantage to do so now.

Browning's Memory.

Few people possessed the gift of mem
ory in higher degree than Mr.. Brown
ing. l am reminded Of this by what
have been recently told by his friend
and mine, Mrs. LIE Poer Wynne. She
tells me that in company with Mr..
Browning and Mr.. Cotter Morrison they
were eday discussing Byron, Of whom
Mr.. Browning was an intense admirer.
He spoke of Byron's extraordinary pow
ers Of satire, and repeated at consider
able length a portion Of the ''Vision Of
Judgment" beginning with the words,
"St. Peter stood at the celestial gate. ="
When he finished, Mr.. Browning said,
II have not repeated those lines for
forty years, but they are craven on my
memory" Then he burst out with the
remark, Byron was one of the most
wonderful men ever created" and turn
ing to Mrs Wynne he said, pressing her
arm in the way he had when much in
terested, ITO think of all this coming to
an end at thirty-sevenp
Mr.. Cotter Morrison agreed that as a
satirist Byron was unrivaled, but threw
out the query. "Is he a great poetg'
Mr.. Browning for answer recited with
intense feeling those we'll known lines,
"'Tis well that l should be unmoved, 4"

tells me that he asked herif she remem-

was undoubtedly the finest affair Of its
kind ever promoted. From 10 IN the morn.
ing until 10 a, night the grounds were the
scene Of all kinds OF athletic events, IN.
cluding pigeon shooting, rowirs, swim
ming, steam yacht racing. tennis, lacrosse,
baseball, football and athletic and bicy-
cling contests, the day being wound up
with a display OF fireworks aud lantern
parade Of bicyclists, which was attended
by fully 500 riders OF the silent stecd.
In the 200 yards race, over ten Il. in
hurdles, A. f. COPELAND, Manhattan Ath-
letic club, established u record Of % sec

The championships Of the Atlantic asso-
citation Of the A. a. U. were held Sept. Il
at Philadelphia. In the pole vault for
height W S. Rodenbaugh, OF the Athletic
club Of the Schuylkill navy, cleared the
bar at II It. 52s in, breaking. the American
record Of II It. . in. held by II. Baxter, Of
the New York Athletic club. As Roden-
baugh has never before shown such form
he must have improved wonderfully since
last year, and has great chance Of break
ing the English record Of II It. 9 in. held
by Dickinson.
Scarcely day passes without some new
record being accomplished by the cyclists
The most wonderful performances Of late
are one-quarter mile with a flying start
in - seconds by A. A. Zimmerman, one
half mile with flying start in I'm. lbs. by
w. Windle, and one mile with flying start
in Pm. 6 4-5s. by A. A. Zimmerman. From
standing start II. c. Tyler, Of Spring
field, rode a mile in 2m 9 Abs, which is
quite equal to Pm. 5s. with flying start.
News comes from Independence Ia,
that on Sept. II one J. S. johnson rode
one-quarter mile in &c 3-5 seconds and one
half in s5iS seconds. As johnson is an un-
known man it is reasonable to suppose
that something was wrong with the dis
tance Of the track. or else the watches
were held by inexperienced timers.

tween 7. p Connect, OF the NJ. A. c., and
W. ID. Day, New Jersey Athletic club.
The race proved very uninteresting. Day
showed very bad Judgment, starting much
too fast, with the result that he was ex-
hausted at II miles, and had TO stop,
which left Conneff to finish at his leisure.
The time for the first mile was an 43s.,
ION. for two miles and 15m. 32s. for the
full distance. The only previous meeting
between the men took place in Montreal
in 1890, when Connect ran Day off his legs
in the two mile Canadian championship,
winning in ON. 35s., which is the Cana
dian record. Day holds the American rec
ord for two and three miles-namely, ON.
S2s. and l4m. 39s. respectively.
On Sept. 10, at Manhattan field, the
Metropolitan championships were decided.
Though no new records were accom-
plished, many Of the performances were
of very high class. Only three of last
years champions succeeded in retaining
their titles, they being G. r. Gray, the
Canadian, who won the i6-pound shot
with a It. in; j. S. Mitchell, the hercu-
lean Irishman, who won the 16-pound ham
mer and 56-pound weight throwing con-
tests with the fine performances Of "a It. 9
in. and 1876 IT. 81 in. respectively, and the
other holder who proved successful was
G. Casey, New Jersey Athletic club, who
won the pole vault with 9 #. 9 in.
The retirement Of l.. Carey. the Prince
ton crack, who won the 100 and 220 yards
run last year, left these events very open
The winner turned up in L. w. Allen, Of
Yale, who won in the very moderate time
of 10 2-5 seconds for the hundred and % sec
onds for the longer distance NJ. Reming-
ton, who won the quarter mile last year,
did not show up to defend his title, which
enabled w. c. Downs, New York Athletic
club, to stride home an easy winner in the
fast time of so seconds. The mile race
brought new champion TO the front in
the person Of A. J. Walsh, who out sprinted
I. p. Connect up the straight, and won a
| fine race in Am. 80 2-5s W. II. Meek won
the one and three mile walks, his time for
the mile being 6m. 80 l-5s. In the 120 yards
race over #. in. hurdles, +. c. Pufler,

accounted for by the exceptionally hot
weather experienced during those months.
The wonderful growth Of cycling during
the past year may also perhaps have de
tracted little from track athletics.
The number of successful meetings held
during September have, however, clearly
demonstrated that outdoor sports and
pastimes are in healthy state.
The first handicap meet Of the season
was that promoted by the Passaic Ath-
letic association, aud held Sept ut Clif
ton, n. J. Many fast performances were
accomplished, the most meritorious being
a. A. Zimmerman's Pm. los. for the mile
bicycle handicap around big field. The
40 yards run was won by II. Blank, Of the
NJ. A. C.. from the 20 yards mark, in As 80
seconds. The half mile run went to j. j..

low, New York Athletic club, won the mile
from the co yards mark in I'm. 2s 3-5c.
Labor Day Sept. 81 was a very busy
one among the athletes. Two very sue
cessful sets Of games were held in Phil
adelphia, promoted by the Caledonian
Athletic association and the Bank Clerks
Athletic association. At the latter meet
ing W. c. Downs won the 40 yards scratch
race in so As seconds. I. b. Turner, Man
haitian Athletic club, won the $50 yards
run in Pm. 3-5s., and J. S. Mitchell, New
York Athletic club, threw the 16-pound
hammer 1874 feet.
New York and vicinity were the scenes Of
no less than three big meetings on Labor
Day. The Staten Island Athletic club
held a very successful carnival Of sport
embracing cycling, rowing, tennis athletic
games, pony racing, etc. The games OF
the Columbia Athletic association, held on
Manhattan field, were attended by fully
/ 5000 spectators. The best perform.
