Sydney Smit, of Stamford, skipped lightly forward and raised tie beam at 318 pounds, a gain of three pounds on fast Year, whereat arose a mighty shout, and all rushed forward to ongratulate the happy man. But who comes here? A huge pon- derostty is groaning under a weight of 358 pounds. ‘What name?” “Who is he?’ shout @ hundred voices. From some deep recess comes a hollow voice—‘John A. P. Fisk, of New York." The further wegning developed nothing equal to this, and Mr. Fisk was subsequently elected presi- dent of the soclety for the ensuing year. Mr. James A. Lincoln, of Pathe la Mass., was his chiefest competitor, weighing 329 pounds, and was elected yee reniiens, with Mr. B. W.
