The number of farms in the New En-
gland States at the last census is given
in a bulletin just issued. It shows that
there was an increase from 1870 to 1880
of eight per cent in Maine. nine per cent
in New llampshire. five per cent in Ver-
mont, sixteen per cent in Rhode Island,
twonty per cent in (kmiiecticut and
forty five per cent in Massachusetts.
The following is the total number of
farms in each State at the last census:
Maine. 64.309: New Hampshire. 32,181:
Vermont. 35,522; Rhodo Island, 6,216;
Connecticut, 30,598: Massachusetts 38,-
406. A great increase in the uumher of
farms is noticed in the Northern. west-
ern and Southern States. which is ex-
plained by rapid settlement in the west-
ern region during the past decade. and
by subdivisions of large plantations in
the south. Dakota leads with an in-
crease of Oil per cent. followed by Ne-
braska. with 416 per cent to her credit.
Idaho has 855 per cent. and Kansas 968.
South Carolina leads in the south. with
an increase of eighty-one per cent.

The university race on the Thames at

excite interest and confer pleasure.

force of their lives for the time being in-
to the contest, and winners and losers
gained what they call honor thereby.

what use are these races?" Can students
attend to problems in books when every

two months to talk it over afterwards!

llenvy Trains.
Owing to the fact that Sunday and
the, Fourth name only two days apart
this year, every business man who
could left New York for some resting
place in the country. The rush for the
Grand Central Depot Ssth July lot
was greater than over before known.
and it is confidently stated that the
Widatcd road transported fully as.
Wpoopleontbatday. Masthead
express train was hauled by two engines
and the rush continued with the mid.
night trains. This ciw received her
full quota of visitors.
The Fourth.
As there was no programme of color
bration carried out. here, business was ah
most entirely suspended, citiacns having
naught to engage in save the strife,—-a
pleasant one. of trying to see which
could do most towards securing univeb
sail quiet. The “Stars and Stripes" float-
ing here and there made it evident men»
oiy of the glorious event of 100 years ago
was alive in their hearts. and “Young
America‘s“ ambition to crowd 38 hours
of cracker demonstration into 84, were
about the only incidents of the day. The
ti .ith of what. somebody once wisely
said. ”To enjoy yourself, keep quiet.“
was exemplified to a great extent. There
are exceptions to every rule. and some
people have an irresistinble tendency to
seek pleasure by roaming, (no allusion to
the railroad party over the extension to
Wilson Point.) Of those many went
down the harbor in boats, some to Roton
Point, many by the Adelphi to Rock-
away, by rail in all directions, and in
carriages among the streets of the city
and borough. The day was not bright
with promise. and soon after dinner rain
drops fell. The first thought of many
was to take warning, but the wise heads
said, "Don't believe in rain. Goin‘ to
clear oil by and by. I guess, when the
the tide turns.“ And so it did. a good
while after. Rain fell faster and faster,
and like young chickens, overtaken in
the field for from the perch by darkness,
many of these thoughtless people, as
night approached. began to hurry home-
ward. and their drubbled garments and
wilted straw hats and collars Wore evi-
dence that the rule of quiet home do-
portmerit on great days is the best in the
and. In the evening the weather
prophet permitted a little clear sky to
appear among the dark clouds—just
enough to encourage those who had Ro-
man candles to let off. and thanks for
that ofllcizil‘s decision. local fire-works
had a chance, to get burned up some
hours before the heavy rain of Tuesday
night. So far as known no accidents to
persons occurred, and no property was
m-t on fire. Taken in all its phases the
day was sensibly spent, and its example
of untisfaction gained should beapntterii
worth following on similar days in the
future.

train moved slowly. occupants young
and old of dwellings near the line com.
ing out to wave handkerchiofs by way
of greeting the first passenger our ever
seen in their midst. Till that moment,
nature had had her own way in all
things since creation. The vast rock
formations left. by the Great architect
after He had pronounced everything
good. had never been disturbed, and it
has remained for those lesser architects,
directed by the Danbury and Norwalk
Railroad Company to make what are be-
lievcd to be necessary changes in the in-
terest of a growing people. Thoughts
of this kind were in the minds of the
excursionists. and the wisdom of the
plan being carried out was patent to all.
Among forest trees which would have
afforded shade had the sun vouchsafed
to shine, through deep cuts. over em-
bankmeuts. past fine residences, the
train made its way, guests seeking to
catch the beauty of each object as it hove
in sight, and, reselling the terminus, the
magnificence of the Point impressed
every beholder. Strolling along the pier
built of yellow pine and likely to endure
a generation, guests saw for themselves
the. charming surroundings. The Sound.

further, but not too far,‘ and the sea
bird‘s cry, all tended to form a scene,
the like of which cannot easily be found
elsewhere on the Connecticut shore.
Director William C. Street, who knows
by heart from boyhood every ledge. and
the lay of each inch of real estate in
city or borough, called attention of guests
to such features of the work in hand or
prospective us were needed to show
them its importance and character.
The charm of the Sound, like 'that of
old Ocean, cannot be felt in all its ful-
ness, when one is distant. One must be
near, forltho spray of contending waves
on a rugged shore impresses more forci-
bly than the tones which theesr catches
from life". There were no angry waves
rolling Tuesday, but water lines along
shore told visitors such things had oc-
curred. The great pier upon which the
two d pots are tostsnd has been built
with irect. riference to its wave with-
stand g er. Great chestnut piles
support twelve inch square timbers, and
three inch planking suriuounts the
whole. The visitors felt that trains of
cars, no matter how heavily loaded,
would be safe thus supported, and they
saw the advantage which a depth of nine
feet at low water in front of this pier
would afford any vessel. steam or sail,
employed by the company. Unfortu-
nately. the day being a holiday, none of
the pile drivers or mud diggers were in
operation, but enough of the work done
by them was visible to show the nature
and extent of it. Already. the road.
though for from being completed, has
begun to affect the value of real estate,
and some residing near the line who
foolishly thought its presence would be
detrimental. are now impressed that it
will be a benefit. Most of the visitors
being men of practical views. were
unanimous in the opinion that the Dan-
bury and Norwalk Railroad Company
have acted wisely in carrying their
tracks to the water line.

Camp Meeting.
The executive committee of the New
York East District Camp Meeting Asso-
ciation held its annual meeting at
Bridgeport last week, to arrange for the
the coming camp meeting at Brockeide
Park, beginiug Monday, August 14. The
decision to go into camp at this park is
a wise one on the part of those having
the matter in charge. Where else in
this part of the world has nature been
more lavish. Such trees, such shade,
running streams. and distant views. In
case of inclement weather, and they say
it always rains at. camp meetings, the
pavilion will moi-cl shelter for an im-
mense number, though persons in the
hot days and nights of August rarely
complain of inconvenience caused by
rain or wind. The proximity of thespot
to the railway and its frequent trains.
makes it most desirable. The manage-
merit will do well to exercise some au-
thority over those who are permitted to
cater to the people in restaurants and
booths, for, thirst after righteousness
and hunger for the meag that perished:
though comparatively near together
sometimes, are always far apart when
Crofut or any other man is enoou
as he was last year to charge 50 cents
a plate each for pork and beans and
corned beef of second quality.
Fifty years ago, in semespot just like
Brookside Park. the poet Bryant. wrote:
“In those iii shadcs~
Peaceful. unprunod. immeasurably old,
My thou-rials go up the long. thin ruth’ of years.
Back to Lie earliest days of ley."
Every one gains to camp meeting
wants to feel that way. but can't for
any length of time if imposed on at the
lunch counter.
