Cooperstown, N. Y, July 3,--There was more hopeful air tonight about Fernleigh, the spacious country estate where Bishop Henry C. Potter is lying critically i'll, than at any time since it became apparent that the distinguish cd churchman was engaged in a se we're strugge with serious malady. Nevertheless while the passage of an- other day with no appreciable change for the worse in the bishops condition afforded his family and physicians some encouragement, there was no disposition apparent on their part to make this fact the basis for large hopes This was indicated hy the tone of to-night's bullehl given cut shortI ly before 10 o'clock, by the bishops physicians, and which was as follows; Bishop Potter has passed a com fortable day. While he mas not suf- fered from the heat as much as on several days previously, ne has not gained perceptibly in strength, but continues very weak.
