POETRY.
HE'D,

A place where nature finds repone. Where man forseta Doth friends and Where slumber draes tho eyes that
 weep,
 In the sweet mysteries Of sleep. No one would change a bed Of down or even "straw'' for kdngly crown Sleep closes tight the gates of care The poor man finds his palace there. UnconsciousIy while there, M seems, We woo the deity of dreams, And wander far while taking rest, To the "fair islands of the blest" 'Tis there the iron of anguish yields. And fancy leads through nOwory fields; US pillows those of sweet content ForEetfulnesS with rest in blent There loosened are the captive's chnlna. xns xns slave his freedom there rcEains. Ana ever since the world began. A friend to every friendless man. A harbor where we anchor cast unmindful of griefs nercest blast, Where lost Is sense of fear and dreal In sweet unconseiouaness In bed

The New York daily papers, in refer ring to the picture, each single out the Photography for praise Edgren of The World; Tad of The Journal American, Walter St Denis in The Gfobe-aIl those who saw it at Ham merstein's theater, said it was the dearest fight picture that they had eyer seen It is like bringing the par ricipants in this great contest right into eastern Connecticut for the fans special benefit of the followers of the sport Eho could not see the original happening in far away California Come early and get a good seat
