We clip from the Delavan (Wisconsin) Republican the following: Through the courtesy of Messrs. Holland & McMahon the editor of this paper Tuesday was admitted to their "ring" barn at the corner of Seventh street and Walworth avenue. We were surpnsed at the number and skill of their performers and at the excellent manner iu which their fine horses were being trained. The flve iron grays that were purchased in Chicago last month are already able to do the most difficult ring running and jamping. They have ihe place well heated and all the performers take exercise every day just to keep their "hand in." There wa one thing partimlarly noticeable about the "tumbling," there were no amateurs, but all seemed to be experts. Geo. Holland and John McMahon, the two principal performers with Burr Robbins last season, gave a fine exhibition of their riding and from the systematic manner in which the;tmining throughout is conducted we believe they will succeed in I having organized before spring the most l complete and meritorious oiroug in the nortbweet.

The fact that the author, jViíss (Jorselius, ia an old resident of tliÍH city, and has taught in one of our ward schools for many years, and that most of the characters in the book were taken from our midst, makes it exceedingly interesting, even for the larger folks.

Gilbert keepa hia trotters - for he has three of them - we were struck with the aplendid appearance of hia favorito horse, " Spotted Beauty." We have no hesitancy in aaying that bis name does not belie his looks, for he a be'iuty, sure, and may be said to be the only horse of his color that haa ever proved to be a speedy trotter.

Not becauae "a brighter iria glows upon the burnished dove," or becauae of any young mini's fancy hghtly turning to thoughts of love, but becauae - small boyR are resurrecting their marblea and beginning the festive game of "keepa." It is a never-failing premonition of the approach of spring in this latitude when this symptom appears in the omnipresent youth of the city. Soon every dry patch of sidewalk will become a staked-out marble claim, while the youthful prognosticator'a mouth will aerve as a receptacle for mabl: a and a thawing-out place for hands half frozeu in acooping away the sluah and snow for the game. When summer comes and everything ia favorable for marble playing, the small boy wih feel no temptation in that line; he will then be after trout, and that unfortunate mouth will be preased into service as a bait box. Itiaamong facta not generally known that the new York hospital possesses the finest medical library in the country, and that it is free to the pchlio for the purpooo of ronaiiltation on all working days from 10 in the morning uutil 5 in the afternon. The librar; was founded in 1796 by a small appropristion made for the purpose by the board of governors. The hospital ltself was then twenty-six years old. The collectiou of volumes has expanded by various donations and purchases to its preaent dimenaionR, and ia now growing more rapidly, at the rate of upward of 1,000 volumes a year. A very complete ñle of the leading Amerioan and foreign penodicals, technical and general, is kept up, and iidds to the value of the library. ünly the directora and staffof the hoapilal ar permitted to remove auy worka for apecial conaultation, but any one can obtain the use of the library ou application. Col. Bain, of Kentucky, addressed a house full alinont to the least seat, at Light Guard Hall. The speaker is one of the most pleasing, and at the same time forcible, that comes among us. Hia argumente are solid an cannon shot, and yet he handles them so hghtly and humorously that they amuse while they instruct. His illustrations flash the truth upon the minds of his audience, like vivid lightniffg, and whatever one might think of his pointa upon reflection, he cannot deny them at the moment. II ia truth to say, howevr, that neai ly all the colonel's poiuts will bear the closeat examination without failure. Thers few wlio are quiti: as sanguine as the colonel of the complete suocenH of the temperauce reform in the near future, but thal is a matter of opinión. The probabiht is that judgement day will find drunkenness and all marnier of iniquity exiating just as they do now. - Ypsilanti Sentinel
