1t first came from the casting.
This increased during the first hour to 70
degrees. The temperature is recorded hour
ly after the first hour. At o'clock to-day
the arbOr will be removed and water will be
allowed TO flow into the bore of the gun.
The temperature will then go up to nearly

Will burn until tomorrow morning, and
then the flask will be allowed to cool. From
sixty to eighty hours is necessary for cast
ing. The flask is then taken apart, the mold
knocked to pieces aud the rough gun taken
out. During the first twenty-fOur hours the
cast is watched carefully. The shrinkage
of metal is supplied in order that the upper
end may not be defective. Drafts Of air
that would kill the cast are also guarded
against.
When the gun is taken from the pit it is
carefully examined, and then taken to the
machine-shop to be turned and finished.

STATUE Of GENERAL GEORGE B. MCCLELLAN.

Sculptor Henry j. Ellicott fas nearly
completed the life-size equestrian statue Of
General George B. Mcclellan, which is to
be unveiled at the northwest corner of the
City Hall in Philadelphia on September 17th
That the work will be one of the most
perfect equestrian statues in existence is
the unanimous opinion of all who have seen
the designs Of the sculptor. 1t is strikingly
heroic in conception and shows to the best
advantage the individual qualities of the
hero Of Antietam. The grim warrior is
depicted sitting calmly upon his charger,
which, with head and ears erect and dilated
nostrils, has paused on the crest Of a small
hillOck. The riders oalmness is in striking
contrast to the Impatience of the fiery war
horse, and his steady eyes seem to peer
from under the visor of the shabby army
cap as if viewing the distant battle.
The firm features are buried in the pro-
found thOughtfulness, and bear the impress

played In one hour and a quarter. McNabb
pitched his usual game, giving but one base
on balls. lie was hit for three singles,
which would have done no damage, and but
for Handsome DOOley's three breaks in one
inning, the FriscOs would have experienced
much YeXatiOus delay in reaching the plate.
His two fumbles and drop Of a thrown bali
gave harris men two TALES in the third
inning.
In the first eight innings the Portlands
went out for the most part In smooth order.
a few Of them could bit knell. but those
