New Yore, August 4, 1880. $
Dear Doctor,?In answer lo your requesi
for an expression of my opinion to iou
relative to soine ol the circumstances of Dr.
Tan nd'* fast, I have to say ;
I. That I think thc witching hi* hoon
honestly conducted, although at times, us I
have understood, it may have been negli?
gent.
?_'. I believe that Dr. Tanner has faithfully
?batalned from all food bul water.
8. Thiit he has succeeded fal better than
I tbougbt be would.
4. That though there have been other al?
leged fasts of long duration, ind some even
longer, bis ls better authenticated than any
oilier of ii similar period.
:>. Thal he has uot succeeded in snowing
that ins organism ls differently constituted
from Jany other, for he has suffered SI
others would have suffered under like de?
privation.
6. Tbal he has shown that those all'ired
Instanc i oJ bating a month or more with?
out tba symptoms of inanition being pro
dnoed ara fraudulent or otherwise decep?
tive. Tbii i- tbemoa^lmportanl result pro*
Inil.ly o! bis trial.
7. That be bas shown the Inability of tbe
human race i" go for anv considerable
period witboul water, Confirming, there?
fore, mir knowledge on Ibe subject.
8. That be has shown greal pluck, deter*
mimition, and endurance, and thal these
qualities in him command my sincere ad?
miration.
ii. That I think he OUgbl to stop nt once
and OCCUpy the remainder of the forty dais
in trying to put hi* stomach in suitable con?
dition lo receive that watermelon on Sat?
urday*
10. That further perseverance in Ibe face
Ol Hie serious dangan that now menace
him would, to my muid, be due to false pride.
I am certainly willing to concede thal lu?
can ko forty dayl without other food than
water.*
II. In a letter which I received from him
a few day* before be entered on his present
fast he Informed me that if be succeeded be
would In tbe fall accept my proposition to
go thirty days without any food, water in?
cluded. My offer is still open to him, but I
hope for hi* own sake that lie will not ac?
cept it. Ills pi e*ent victory OUgbt to satisfy
him. Still, of that he must be the judye. 1
am readv for the test.
12. That I think the investigation* made
Of Dr, Tanner during hi* feet have been sii
pei tidal and restricted. The amount and
character of the exhalations from the skin
and Inns* ought especially to have been an?
alyzed. The weighing seems to have heen
In. perfect ly performed.
13. That therefore the scicutltic results
are not what they should bave l.eeu, but
thal nevertheless enough has been shown
to cause us to modify our views in regard to
the 'Meets al inanition on the human body.
Very sincerely yours,
Wili.ja.ii ll. Hammond.

IQBIBnT. August 5.?The Herald cor
raanondenl had an interview this morn
Inf with Dr. .I. Marion Sim* at the Ling?
ham Hotel. I asked him tv Itel her he had
tent ii cable dispatch to Dr. Tanner of an
BBBaaUBBlBB eharacier. Eta replied al once
that be had, and moreover that he had
thought of doing *o several days before he
sent the message in question, as he thought
Dr. Tanner deserved encouragement in his
experiment. There was, he*aid, no forgery
lu thc matter at all. Tbe dispatch, the au?
thenticity of which has been called in ciues
tion, is entirely genuiBe.

New Yolk, August 6.?Dr. Tanner Bar?
tered liped H?e last flay of his fast ut noon.
His pain is Intense, and ever since la-t qigbt

or causes eiuctailoi.s of gas from the stom?

Ina stomach, it ls claimed, show* tint the
fast ha* "been honestly conducted. Every
hour he walks uouod the enclosure with?
out assistance, that Ibe spectators may see
him. ,__ , _,
Al 1 A. M, he wi* quite sick, aud fif?
teen minute* later he was lying on bli cot
witb bis knees drawn np to his stomach.
He isked the witobers to notice bis breath?

His reaplrallon waa found to be fourleen to

vomit.
After an hour's sleep he asraln drew him?
self up In a heap, ile -omi after had an?
other attack of tiMiisea, voinlllng mucus and
water. A suggestion that n mustard-plaster ;
be put on bl* stomach iva* scooted by the
Doctor, who MM that no]liing would re- i
lieve his di*conifort but beef, wine, and I
Iron. Ba n rrrainrd quiet and comfort- i
able until near 7 o'clock:, when he eject- I
ed two ounce* of wider, tmired with I
bile, from the stomach. Ile was given
8 drink at 8:1$, two and a half!
ounce* of waler being sdflilBittered, Which '
was tba prob.ldc cause of another attack of j
nau*ea and siekne**. A milliard foot-bath1
made him quite comfort .hie again, however.
At 10 o'clock he drank four ounce* of wa?

walked one lap around it. He repeated Iii*

THK SCANDAL THAT II IS FALLER lTON' IITM
HI.ED..N*.
*A correnmnden' writing from London
says: a Berton* scandal ha* fallen upon the
camp at Wimbledon. The nutter emu
before tba council yesterday, it bat been
suggested more tiiiin omi during Ibis year's
meetings tbs! it mlgbl be possible to tamper I
with the markets, and thtj* obtain large j
scores hv fraud. The question was mooted
to the committee with a view to eliciting
their opinion. The offldal reply was that
there is bo possibility of such* wog taking
place. A certain ftmoiis rifle-,hot, how?
ever, belonging to ? .Middlesex euroa, re-1
solved to test ihe honesty of the markers ami
the possibility <>f scoring mai ks be did mn
really obtain. Un Thursday he informed |
tba committee ol his Intention, and stated
tbal be should obtain a iii<_? i -core for tbe
Olympic prize, though be was not qualified
to lake it. In order to upset any such ar?
rangement a* that indicated, the committee
r<'shuffled the whole of tim competitor* for
the Olympic prize, hut the Middlesex shot
and another rifleman of distinguished repu
talion (and a member Of toe council) still
remained at the target to which they had
been originally isslgned.
The Middlesex shooter informed hi* com?
petitor of Ibe State Ol sflslrs, and asked to
DO allowed to fire tifst. Ile did -o, and the
result was a rapid succession ol bull's.eyes
and inners duly signalled and recorded,
msklog a total of 4(5 ont of a possible ?"'".
Tbe distance was t;on yards, tbe weapon a
Snider. The next highest score via* lu. A
fri-nd of Ihe Middlesex rifleman, who was
in the secret, looked on. He says lint one
Of the tiiis-.es was signalled as a bull's-eye,
The firer himself declared he bad not made
the ni".ute.I score. Hewenl straightway
and reported the metter to the committee,
His friend and several competitors (hen
went to the target to See the hits. Prent]
c mvas had not. however, heen put 00 that
morning. It was therefore Impossible to
say exactly wbai the shooting had been.
They took, nevertheless, a register of ill the
hits that were ,holt n and handed it to the
committee, suggesting that they should ia*
certain when tba last nev: narai wai pul
on tbe target, and compare all tba " squad*
ding ' mis ?" hand' d in stace that lime with
the present registers of the hits remnning
in trie target.
The connell liave I lie aft'iir under con?
sideration, and lt has cast a gloom over tim
entire camp, lt wa* painful yesterday to
see men going about with it settled expres?
sion of disgust, not to s;t\ despair, on their
fie',. The uprightness and honesty, tho
openness ind manliness, which has slways
been associated wito tbe rYlmblcdon rifle
coinpetiiior.s being questioned, is as if a
blight had fallen upon the entire volunteer
loree. No sadder or Diore regretablc scan?
dal has ever cropped up In the history ol
English spnrts and pastimes. Tbe trouble
is felt all the more keenly on account of the
presence of a number of marksmen from
the I'nited States and Canada. Tbesc cun
petltori from the other side ol the Atlantic
bave carried off laurel*, n \- true, bul they
bave not been anything like so successful as
they boped to be.
Ii. the c.s. s \t here they were beaten they
will he pardoned now for suspecting foul
play, while some ol tbe prise-wlnneri who
are to take their trophies from the hands of
the Princess ol Wales will feel themselves
ni vert um;.t i:.i.i.- positions. In tbe gossip
of tbe camps names ire mentioned in eoo?
section witli Ibe fraud, and it is expected
thai the committee will bave to extend their
inquiries far bi fond the limits ol tbe oom*
petition for the < >i> mplc prise. Thc Ameri?

Near the close ol the performance of tbe
"Grim Goblin*,'' which was produce.1 for
the tils-t tillie at Wallack's Theatre Thurs?
day night, Mr. George Conquest, the pro?
prietor of the piece, who himself played
the part of Hie-Hoc-Hoc, the -'Grim Gob?

the scene of the "Cobweb Cave"
he and his son execute wlut ls called
thc "Phantom Flight" from the stage
to the roof. In this scene Mr. Conquest
climbs a ladder, which from the front seems
IO he a flight of stoue steps, and suddenly
at the top of them disappears into Ihe air.
He is lifted out of sight by an invisible
vt ire, which turns over a pulley nu Urtfrool
with a drop-weight at the other end. When
the Weight wax drooped la?t Bight Mr. Con?
quest bad not attached to bis hell the hook
at the other end of the wire, hut had hold
of tbe wire, and Wai lifted from his feet hy
the Jerk of the falling weight. He WM low
ered a few feet and then raised suddenly, the
