Very little dry leaves or chat should

The hen should be placed upon the
nest with some common eggs for a
least two days before placing the
pheasant eggs under her. This Is
done to test her staying qualities

reveiew In New York harbor next Satur-
day. when the battleships and cruisers
under Sampson arrive there. Efforts have
been made to induce the department to
have a review of the ships and a land re-
view of the sailors. II is probable the
final decision will be to have the vessels
come up the river to Grants tomb at
Riverside and there fire a salute. The
trip up TO the tomb Is TO afford the pub
lie a sufficient opportunity TO view the
ships without firing the sailors by a land
procession.

by the burning OF their cabin and its
contents last Tuesday. The origin OF
the fire is a mystery, as the boys were
at work when the fire started. They
were working in a tunnel near by when
their attention was attracted by reports
of cartridges. On coming out from the
tunnel they discovered the burning
cabin, but were afraid to go near, as IL
was known 500 rounds of ammunition
were in the cabin. Nothing was saved
and the result of 40 years gathering

OF provisions. a $50 overcoat and a col

EASTERN RACE EVENTS.
A Rich stake.

New York, Aug. 15.-One week from to-
morrow the richest stake of the Ameri-
can turf will be raced for at the Sleeps
head bay track. On the form of 2-year-
olds Of the present season, most any horse
eligible for the race might be capable of
beating the others and the opportunity for
a fuke is seemingly such tina many an
owner will be tempted to pay the $3.50
starting fee for a horse that in AN ordi-
nary year he would have in the barn.
That the F'uturity field will number 20 or
more appears certain. With tina num-
Der of starters the gross value of the race
will be little less than $4,000. No horse
of proven greatness is among the 1877 2
year-olds eligible for the race, and IL is
not probable that any will appear. The
last chance for a public trial of Futurity
colts will be next Saturday, when the
second part of the Grand Union Hotel
stakes will be run at Saratoga. The re-
suit of that race may show up a new It'd
der for the great race at Sheepshead bay,

performed the feat. The distance from
the railing TO the water Is about lis feet

was picked up by a skiff. none the worse
for the experience.
