THE SVSDJ.Y SCHOOL COITTBlTTIOX.
A meeting of the various teachers and super?

_. tloa reported that homes had been provided for
about one hundred.
On motion, Captain Chichester, Messrs. Petti?
grew, Gregory and Burns were appointed a spe?
cial committee to procure accommodations for
delegates.
, -Rev. Dr. Hicks spoke earnestly regarding the
convention, that lt would not be known by
name as denomination, bat as a union cf all
Christians engaged in the cause we love so well,
the cause of Christ; and urged the individual ex?
ertions of each person present to obtain accom?
modation for all who would come. To go Into
highways and byways, and there place these
Christian men, who, entering into every house?
hold with hearts burning with the love of Christ,
would infuse the Ure of Christian zeal into every
family. Distribute them through the city, let
them go from house to house, and God will bless
and sanctify these homes, because the Ark of
God will rest there. Heal3osaid that he was re?
ceiving letters from ail parts af the United States,
manifesting great Interest in the forthcoming

MEMORIAL DAT.
DECORATION OF THE GRAVES.
LAYING OF A CORNER-STONE.*
The Masons In Fall Force-Address by
General James Conner-A Great Crowd,
Incidents, ?cc.
There ls no event in the year around which
clusters the sympathies and associations o' our
people, especially of our noble women, like the
ceremonial by which they annually perpetuate
the memory of their heroic dead. Indeed, were
it not for thc gentler sex-those who in the hour
of travail "walked the earth with bleeding feet,
yet smiled ;" those who suffered all the crack and
strain or heart-strings while mourning for their
beloved; those who, when even thc bravest men
quailed, faltered not in their devotion to principle,
and home; were it not for gentle woman, there ls
little doubt that In the bustle and hurry of lire,
the dead Conrederate soldier would, in thousands
of Instances, have continued to sleep lu nameless
graves, and, before many years, have become "as
the echo of a song that was sung."
First among her self-imposed duties, after the
close of the war, was the bestowal of care upuc
the unmarked mounds that dotted our battle?
fields. Lots were purchased In thc cemeteries,
tenderly thc remains of the-dead were removed
thereto, and then with patriotic sacrifice or time
and labor she obtained thc means or perpetuating
in marble the humblest names or those who, fight?
ing, fell. This labor in part is accomplished.
Woman has set apart a day in the month of flow?
ers, when gathering around these new turfed
graves, the mothers, wives and children of the
South may lay their homage upon the earth that
covers the dead soldier, and tell In flowers thc
story of their love.
Gathering Flowers*
What has been done elsewhere-at Richmond,
FredericksHhrg, Memphis, Savannah and other
places-was repeated In ?'limlesion yesterday; lt
being the anniversary, likewise, of the death of
Stonewall Jackson.
Agreeably to the published announcement, the
ladles ol the garland committee assembled at an
early hour, and wagons then proceeded from
house to house to coltect the bouquets, crosses,
evergreens, and heaps of flowers that seemed In
their beauty to have blossomed for the purpose.
The Ascembll"g.
The day was inusually fine, and when the hour J
approached for the ceremony or decoration to
take place, there were few families in Charleston
who were not en route to Magnolia Cemetery, or
already represented OB the spot. Most of the
stores In thc city were closed, and business gene?
rally was suspended. Public and private vebl- ,
cies, baggage wagons and railway cars, and
every available species of conveyance, were
brought into requisition; and the shell-road j
never presented a more animating spectacle.
A part of the exercises of the day consisted In
the laying of the corner-stone of a monument to
tie Confederate dead, by the Grand Lodge or Free i
Masons, and at 2 o'clock P. M. the entire Masonic
fraternity or the city assembled for the purpose
or participating in the ceremony.
Formed in line, they appeared ia greater
strength than any body of citizens that has
paraded since the war. I ;
At 3 o'clock P. M. long trains on the South Caro?
lina and Northeastern Railroads, loaded with
people, began to arrive In front of Magnolia, and
for more than an hour thence the stream of hu- '
manlty was Incessant. It ls estimated that be?
tween five and seven thousand persons were pres?
ent on the ground-so many Indeed that a large
portion we e nnable to hear the addresses dell v- j
ered, and were forced to remain mere "lookers :
on In Vienna." Committees of citizens were ap- J \
pointed at the different depots to superintend the I i
embarkation and debarkation or the people. Car- I
riages were prevented from obtruding on the 11
:omrort or the assembly, by ropes stretched
icross the main cemetery avenues, and In short
he Committee or Arrangements, Messrs. H. B. I <
ilney, W. A. Kelly and A. T. Smythe, fully com- |
Drehended and admirably performed the duties i
if their office. i
The Ceremonies. ,
The four o'clock train from Charleston brought
wita lt the Masons-in all the simple beauty of i
regalia, white gloves and black dress, and as the 1
procession filed into the grounds and opened
rank, to allow the passage of the Grand Master i
?nd Grand Lodge, there was no prettier sight
luring the day than that double fringe of gentle?
men, with Its deep border or ladles and children,
rich in colors, and burdened with flowers, who
looked on wonderingly from among the grave
stones and shrubbery behind.
The Grand Master and officers then ascended
the platform, which was elaborately decorated,
and the rest or the brethren closed around the
great square which contains the graves.
The following prayer, written by Rev. John
Bachman, D. D., wa9 then read by Rev. Mr.
Wlnkler, the venerable divine first mentioned be?
ing confined at home by illness:
Prayer.
O ! Thou great and merciful God, the Father of
pur Lord Jesus Christ-the former of our bod les
Eh? giver of every earthly comfort and every re?
ligious hope-we adore Thee, that Thou art ever
ready to listen to the prayers or Thy children.
And that amidst au our necessities, cares and
trials, Thou art walting to sustain and bless.
Look, we beseech Thee, with paternal love upon
this multitude, who have gathered together to
mingle their tears, to embalm the memories of
our dead heroes by placing fragrant garlands
upon their graves, and to lay the corner-stone of
a monument te perpetuate the names of thc
bra ve defenders or our homes and or aU that we
held dear. Heavenly Father, lt was by Thy holy
will, that these who willingly endangered their
lives, rel! in battle, or perished the victims or
disease. Merciful Father, forgive us, tr wc do not
exercise that entire submission which Thy holy
will enjoins. And O ! teach us, Thy children, at
all times to say, "Not our will, Father, but Thine
be done."
Grant that the monument here to be. erected,
may roster in the hearts or our sons and daugh?
ters, the sentiments or patriotism. And whilst
the names or the heroic defenders of this, "our
Glty by the Sea," shall remain engraven high on
the rou of these earthly records, to teach succeed- '
lng generations that the noblest offering we can
make to our country, ls to die In its defence, we
beseech Thee to teach ns a still higher lesson; to
Impress opon the living the duty of love, obe?
dience and gratitude to the Divine Saviour, whose
religion teaches us, "Blessed are the dead, who
die in the Lerd, yea, saith the Spirit, they rest
from their labors and their works do io ll ow
them." Almighty Ged, we beseech Thee te wipe
away the tears of the mourners, to comfort the
widowed hearts and to provide for the orphans.
Whilst we Uve. Father, may lt be lu Thy rear,
and when we are summoned benee, may we all
be reunited around that Throne In the Blessed
Land, where wars shall cease, and sorrows shall
end. We ask all these blessings, throagh the
merita or Jesus Chris?, our Redeemer. Amen.
The rollowing ode, written for the occasion by
a well-known and beloved oitizen, was then sung
by an exceUent choir, accompanied by Mr. T.
O'Neil upon an Alexandrine organ:
Memorial Ode.
The living city bends her head,
And bows her heart again.
Where her dear City or the Dead
Enshrines her children slain.
The crowded mart pours forth Us tide;
Its guest, each saddened home.
And Labor lays its tools aside,
And Thought, its task and tome.
A hush is o'er the busy street.
As sounds this Sabbath chime:
"Take off thy shoes from off thy Teet,
Thou tread'st on holy time !
"Turn hence your pilgrim steps. Tor they
Who once stood WITH you here,
And FOR you elsewhere, claim this day,
Love's offering or the year !"
And where the peacerul sleepers rest
Each in his silent home,
To crown their graves, and call them blest;
The graterul Town has come.
Oh, treasured Dust ! Oh martyred Dead !
Are ye not blest, indeed;
Who freely Tor your country bled,
But do not see her bleed ?
Ye might have lived-as some live now,
To blame the erring stroke
That failed to lay Its object low,
But kept him ror the yoke.
And ye are blest beside-we know
Ye have not bled in vain,
For seeds of noblest virtue grow
Beneath such martyr rain.
And when the better hour shall strike,
That gives us rights again,
We'U prove that like produces like,
Nor your fair record stain.
That hour will come, we fondly trust,
When, in our burthened land,
The true, the good, the wise, the Just,
In their own lot shall stand.
'Till then we'll keep your memories grce
With ever-freshened flowers,
And AFTKR-raise ye shafts, whose sheer
Shall light this land of OCRS !
The Grand Master and ortlcera now rep
from the platform to a stage erected in the ci
of the cemetery lot appropriated to Confed
soldiers. Here was the corner-3tone of the
lng monument, the excavation of its resting ]
already made, and a derrick with which to t
lt into position. Immediately in front of
platform were assembled the ladles conne
with the Widows' Home and the pupils of tin
stltutlon, while around the large square bout
by the deep green hedge were arrayed the n
bers of the Order.
Thc officers upon the platform were Grand 1
ter James Conner, Deputy Grand Master W.
Blake, J. H. Honour, Senior Grand Warden; 3
McLeish, Junior Grand Warden; B. R. Camp
Grand Secretary; n. W. Schroder, Grand Tre
rer; Henry DeSaussure, Senior Grand Deacoi
R. Pringle, Jr., Junior Grand Deacon; R. S. Bri
Grand Marshal; W. A. Wilson. Grand Tiler,
Rev. Mr. Bowman, Grand Chaplain.
The necessary preparations were then m
for
The Laying of the Stone.
The stone was brought into position, an ode
sung, and the Grand Chaplain offered asl
prayer. Grand Treasurer Schroder th
by command of Deputy Grand Master Bis
placed under the stone the following articles: 1
daily papers; the proceedings of the last meot
of the Grand Lodge; a list or the dead and but
In the Confederate lot of the cemetery; a roste
the officers and members or the Ladles' Memoi
Association; a programme or the day; the pra
by Dr. Bachman; a piece or palmetto, and
State and Confederate battle flag.
The Grand Master then applied the plur
square and level to the stone in their proper p<
tlon.and exclaimed i#aloud voice: "I have tr
and proved this stonejby plumb, square and lei
and pronounce lt to be well formed, true a
trusty,."
The corn of nourishment, the wine of refre
ment, and the oil or joy were then poured up
thc stone, and the Muter Invoked ablessing up
the work. ' '. m
The three puWlc grand hon ors or Masonry wi
then given, and the Deputy_ Grand Master i
livered the various Implements of architecture
the architect. ^_
Thereupon a Masonic anthem was sung, beg
nlng-"Let there be Light,'' and Deputy Gra
Master. BlaJte, made the usual closing add re
the following being' that portion of the sai
which is not contained In the ri trial:
Address of Deputy Grand Master Biak
The Grand Lodge of South Carolina, and t
fraternity at large, have assembled to-day in hs
or of aa occasion which ls or the deepest intere
to us all. We have come as Masons, not only
Interchange the heart-warm greetings or Men
and brothers, and to draw Into closer union ti
golden links which bind us together as a frate
nal band, bit we have come at the call or h
reared mothers, sisters and daughters, to awake
the recollections which cluster around the tomi
of their heroic dead, and to learn lessons of wi
dom from their monitory dust. Yea, more, n
brethren. We have come under the gratsfi
promptings or love and patriotism, an
commissioned by the voice or oar ralr countr,
women, we have to-day laid, with Mason
honors, the corner-stone ora monument who;
enduring granite ls designed to perpetual
the memory or thc gallant dead who struggle
and died for a cause which ls dead to them-h
rees who fell beneath a banner which once floate
proudly, but which ls now folded forever. An
lt ls right and proper, my Masonic brothers, thi
we should bc here-ror, representing as we do
universal brotherhood, -lt ls meet that we tc
should place an offering upon the altar <
country, kindred and humanity. Let us, thei
my brethren, be suitably Impressed by the solea
nlty of this occasion. Let us cherish and Imitai
the virtues of our sleeping heroes. Let us ga
land their memory with unfading evergreen!
and while with one hand we wave the mel&i
choly cypress over their honored dust, let us wit
the other scatter flowers-bright flowers-ov<
their lowly but cherished graves. So mote I
ae-Amen.'
memorial Address by General Jame
Conner.
The formal ceremonies now having been COE
noded. Grand Master Conner was escorted to th
flatform erected for the purpose, and dellv?Tei
che rollowlng address, which wa3 listened to wit
marked attention, and, notwithstanding th
solemnity ot the surroundings, applauded:
As we stand here to-day, beneath these qnie
skies, In this sad, silent city or the dead, all ls s
calm and peaceful, that lt ls hard to realize tha
but a short while ago and he who stood upon thl
spot could almost touch the ramparts, which
stretching from river to river, guarded .'rora as
sault a beleaguered city, while far as the eye coul<
reach, scanning the horizon on land and sea
were the camps and fleet of the host that sar
rounded her. From where we stand, on a day a
bright and beautiful as this, could be seen a pow
erful and stately fleet advancing lu battle ordei
through the gates or yonder harbor, while within
behind the long Hue or works that crested ead
shore, stood lu grim silence at their guns thi
defenders of the soil, conscious that upon then
rested that dav the fate or the city. Slowly and
steadily the fleet advances, scarce replying to th<
few first batteries that opened, as though assur?e
or success, and as lt were sweeping proudly ot
to triumph. Nearer and nearer lt comes, until th?
anxtous throng watching Its approach from tm
etty painfully alternate between hope and despair
A moment, and from the grassy slopes or Moultrie,
the battle-scarred walls of Sumterand the deep
embrasures of Johnson, burst the Iron storm.
The fury ur mau rivals lu grandeur the war or thc
elements.
Thick clouds envelope assailant and assailed,
and only thc quick lightning flashes or thc guns,
rifting tue smoke, tell or thc tight. But slowly
the smoke floats away and shows thc Sect defeat?
ed and shattered, making for thc outer harbor.
The victory was ours, and joy Ulled all hearts as
they realized that the city is still their own.
But the conflict ceased not then. The efforts ol
assailant and assailed were rene wed, while the
passions and the pride or either section swelled
the contest into grandest proportions. Here the
first thought of resistance had been conceited
and matured. From yonder forts had sounded
the bridal dawn of thnnder-puals, proclaiming
that thought had wedded Tact.
The very efforts to close the port had excited
the liveliest interest in its fate, and the attention
.r the world once attracted, the world rang with
the achievements or Its derenders. Thc glory
which had crowned the old palmetto walls or
Moultrie was renewed in the grander events or
the second struggle ror Independence, while
beside and around lt arose new rorts, which,
dividing with it the guardianship o ' the city,
divided with lt the glory of the defence, until the
eye can scarcely rest upon a spat which ts not
memorable by the events which lt witnessed.
Brilliant as were the achievements or the war,
there is hardly one which holds a more prominent
place in Its military history than the Biege or
Charleston. This ls due to many causes, but par?
ticularly to the union or the highest qualities or
manhood with the rare skill which so signally
adapted the means or resistance to the attack.
The experiment which won ror the distinguished
Russian engineer or Sebastopol the highest rank
In military circles, was repeated on a more ex?
tended scale and under more trying circumstan?
ces. The comparative powers or Iron-clads and
land fortresses, which he left as a problem, still
perplexed and divided the military euglneers of
the most advanced nations, until the genius and
courage or Carolinians solved the problem at
Sumter, and lort tts shattered walls the proudest
monument or their Tame.
Or, turning from Sumter, we look upon the mined
parapets of Waguer and recall its glorious de?
fence. The recklessness or the assault equalled
only by the stubbornness or the derence, and ac?
companied by a carnage which ffiocknd us even
in those days or blood-shocked us by Us enor?
mity-and the loug siege, which tasked the nerves,
the patience and thc fortitude or the boldest.
Day after day and night after night of sleepless
vigilance and unremitting labor under a ceaseless
fire-demanding and deserving that highest or
all courage, passive endurance-all the danger
and none or the excitement or battle, until at
last, when the defence had been protracted to thc
latest moment, they abandoned the work to the
enemy, empty of all save the glory of its defence.
But time will not suffice to glance even at the
many points which are historic. The very names,
familiar to us as household words, are parts or an
Inheritance rrom the dead. Knough, that during
all the long struggle, they stood the sure defend?
ers of the city. They falthrully kept watch and
ward over the trust committed to them. But the
end drew near-the city which they had so long
and so ably defended, fell at last without a
struggle
The war-drums throbbed no longer,
And the battle-flags were furled.
Exhaustion closed the contest. The war was over,
and tender aud loving hands gathered the dead
and laid them to rest here, near the spots made
memorable by their actions-where the shadow
of their deeds recorded rests upon their graves,
and the grand ocean Itself hymns their eter?
nal requiem.
We know them only by their deeds; only as the
soldiers who so bravely stood between the foe
and our homes. Who can tell of the homes,
which, without them, are forever desolate-of tho
hopes which Ile buried In these graves; of the
living, whose one lff-Mong remembrance clings
to this spot. There are uuseen thousands, whom
you will never know, united with you in the offices
or to-day, whose stricken hearts are Ulled with
gratitude for the tender care which watches
over the graves of the loved and lost.
To the duty of this day we have added the solem?
nity of laying the flrststone of a monument which
we trust will stand for all time, tbe memorial of our
admiration er the deeds and our full sympathy
with the d'Xd. It ls not simply the homage of
the living to the dead, but the enduring record of j
the judgment of the present, that those who lie
here died for a cause in which was laid up the
hearts and hopes of a whole people.
It ls natural to invest with heroic grandeur the
events ef a former age. ' Nothing ls terrible, noth?
ing is sublime in human thlngr, so long as they
are before our eyes," and we stand too near to
the grand contest fully to realize its significance
or appreciate its events; and yet familiar as are
to us the seenes through which these passed, we
cannot even now recall them without emotion.
Who can do Justice to the spirit of ?61; to the
patriotism, which animating all, was grandest in
the most tender, as they hushed the very prompt?
ings of nature, and armed for the fight jhose
whom they would have shielded from harnf^vltli
their lives? Who cant?o justice to the noble wo?
men of the land ? Not I-not I. I dare not touch
the theme. I, can Mu feebly teil of the zeal with
which the youth, and hope, and strength of the
land enlisted for its protection, and the fidelity
with which they served. How ill clad, half
fed, 111 shed, day after day they toiled and fought,
until the long years were weary of the strife, and
the land was desolate with the carnage of the bat?
tle field. How undaunted by defeat, they sup?
plied diminished numbers with Increased zeal,
resisting all the temptations of home, all the al?
lurements of pleasure-making devotion to the
cause, the Polar star of their lives, and finally
gave life itself. Recalling these things, well may
we stand astounded at the moral grandeur of the
spectacle and bow In reverence over the graves
of those who realized In action the highest ideal
of heroic manhood. Theirs was an unselfish hero?
ism-no alloy debased Its purity. Their triumphs
and trials were alike unsnng. No bulletin of vic?
tory preserved their names for the admiration of
posterity. They were, sustained simply by the
earnest conviction of right-and let lt never be
forgotten that they were the citizens, as well as
the soldiers of the Confederacy. Their votes
.ailed Into existence the government which their
arms sustained. They had but to will that the
war should cease an i lt was at an end. But they
endured faithfully unto the end, and left to the
world the finest example of the sacrifice of self to
principle, which history records.
1 would not pluck a leaf from the laurels so
worthily won and worn by those whom we all
honor. I would not detract one tittle from thc
admiration due to the genius which conceives and
thc will which executes the grand movements of
the battle. All honor to those gifted ones.
A whole people crowned them with Its loving
praise. But when I think or all that was In
silence endured and conquered, I feel that these
soldiers, In their simple jackets of grey, were the
true heroes of the war. They . and the past sleep
together, and, standing by their graves, we look
with straining eyes Into the dim and shoreless
future, and there lrnone to tel! us the form and
body of the time to come.
"All ls vague In vapor, hard to mark,
And the days darken round us. and the years."
Among new meiwstrange faces, other minds,
the old order chirWgeth, yielding place to new.
iiut God ruinils himself in many ways, and a
humbie reliance on that Providence which shapes
the fate of men and nations, ls all that ls left to
as.
But whatever be that future-whether lt restore
a more than pristine glory to the prostrate and
discrowned State, or deepens yet farther the sor?
row which her true sons feel-so long as human
nature remain the same, so long as the story of
noble actions quickens the pulse and flushes the
cheek, these men have not died In vain. They
have left the world richer by their noble example,
richer in the Impressive teaching that the path of
duty Is the way to glory; and when we shall have
passed away and our recollections have beeome
the tradition of those who stand in our places,
the youth of that day will gather around this
monument and learn from these graves a lesson
of heroism, unmatched lu Greek or Roman story;
will learn from these how for the State to live,
and, if need be, how for the State to die.
The following memorial ode, composed by Rev
E. T. Winkler, D. D., was then sung:
Heroes Crowned.
Advance I Each burled brave
ls now a glorious king,
Who, proudly leaning on his glaive,
Awaits the meed ye bring:
No tributary tear
Your deathless heroes crave;
With Incense of the blooming year
Let fair hands crown the brave.
'Twas Fate, noO'alor, failed
To lay the NoVnman low;
For never Raven-pennon sailed
To meet a nobler foe:
Then, like triumphal palms,
Your chaplets o'er them wave.
And to the solemn Joy of psalms,
Let fair hands crown the brave.
They did not bleed In vain;
That father, brother, son
Who made grey shore and pine-clad plain
An altar and n throne:
Fame lifts the crimson sign
They once to battle gave,
Anew they form their gallant line!
Let fair hands crown the brave.
The surging tide ls spent;
The mighty march ls o'er;
A mist or morn, the soldier's tent
Has fled for evermore:
But home and state remain!
Whate'er they died to save
Will quench thc fire and burst the chain!
Let fair hands crown the brave.
Bv Faith that decks the earth
And Lovo that woos the sky,
O sunny land that gave them birth,
Thy heroes shall not die !
Their Ufe within us rolls,
Their blood redeems the grave;
Their glory quickens in our souls !
Let fair hands crown the brave.
The ladies of the Memorial Association and
ethers now proceeded to decorate the graves.
This task seemed simple enough, for lt was but
the hanging of a wreath of flowers upen every
head stone, and the scattering of more flowers
upon the mound, sut lt was the gentle, tender,
loving way in which lt wa3 done, especially by
young girls, themselves represented by fathers
and brothers in the army of dead Confederate sol?
diers, which made the scene a tearful one, and
aroused sympathies and associations such only as
could emanate from the hour and place.
Several or the graves tenanted by poor fellows
who "died and made no sign," and are designat?
ed by the mournrul word "Unknown,'" were liter?
ally lost to sight beneath their covering or flow?
ers, as ir their very desolation called Tor the full?
est measure of tributes. In this connection, the
following pleasing Incident ls related:
An Incident.
A gentleman from New York, who ls making a
winter tour with his family through the South
Atlantic States, remained over in Charleston a
day to witness the ceremonies at Magnolia Ceme?
tery yesterday. He himself had been sorely
stricken, for he had lost a noble son during the
war on the Federal side; but a broad humanity
and Christian charity moved him to visit the
modest graves of the Confederate dead at Magno?
lia. He carried with him a beautiful bouquet, and
deposited lt across the tombstone of an "UN?
KNOWN," with a card bearing the following
werds, "A floral tribute to the 'Unknown,' from
a Northern gentleman, May 10th, 1SX0."
Besides the graves of soldiers Interred io thc
Confederate enclosure, those on other portions or
the Cemetery were decorated, some of them with
a richness and profusion that attested how strong?
ly memory anda flection still clung, even to their
dust.
The ladles or Charleston are proverbial for the
elegance of their taste in cemblntng thc flowers
they cultivate, and on the present occasion lt was
displayed in all its wealth, and in every con?
ceivable form of floral beautj.
The Return.
Benediction having been announced, the Im?
mense gathering slowly dissolved, and wended
their way to the railroad. Here thousands as
sembied to walt for the excursion trains, which
were delayed ou account of thc regular freight
and passenger tralus that preceded them; but be?
fore dark, all were safely eu route for the city.
The entire proceedings throughout were mark?
ed with the utmost solemnity and decorum, and
the kind ladles who assumed the direction of the
affairs ot'the day, deserve not a little credit for
perrect detail of arrangements and energy of
purpose, in achieving their hallowed object.

THE SCH UTZENFEST.
SECOND DAY.
General Am ase mc n ts-The Eagle Shoot?
ing-Prizes, &c.
The second day o? the Sch?tzenfest was no
less brilliant than the first. The crowd was rally
as large, and all entered into the spirit or the oc?
casion, determined to enjoy themselves? as much
as possible, and as there was every means or
pleasure, and all wore bright.?huppy raies, lt ls
ralr to presume they succeeded.
AMUSEMENTS.
The exercises yesterday were commenced with?
out any formalities. As soon as the riflemen and
their lady mends came on the ground, about 9
3'clock, the former proceeded to the shooting gal?
lery and the latter to the dauce hair, and soon
tvere heard the lively reports or rif.es, while over
lead the light tripping or reet and sort strains
jf music told that the ladies were engaged in an
amusement as congenial to them as that sought
JJ the "Lords of creation."
About half-past 9 o'clock the crowd commenced
:o gather; and by ten the grounds presented an
inlmated spectacle. The crowd of boys, both
?-hite and colored, seemed as anxious as ever to
mgage In the sports which afforded amusement
o the crowd, and perhaps to them also, but which
vas sadly detrimental to their clothes and gene
.al appearance. Herc a lot stood in a row, each
vatting ror his turn to take a eve cent piece out
>r a bowl or molasses-or course carrying off more
notasses than specie. Others smoked olgars
Hied with powder, which as the fire reached lt.
lashed orr; but the prospect of a five cent
Uece If the cigar was smoked out caused
hem to retain the cigars In their mouths
lespite singed lips, noses and eyebrows; others
it; empted to walk the circular log, generally end
ng In a rall either in a bag or charcoal on one
ilde, or a pile or flour on the other; others ran
aces in sacks. But we will tire our readers by re
erring to all of these plans which the Committee
ff Arrangements originated to entertain their
tuests, and, thererore, we will only refer to one
>r two more. The greasy pole, with ita prizes at
he top, was the height of ambition for many
>oys, who essayed to climb lt, but few succeed
(d. Some grew weary before reaching the top,
?tilers, more earnest, reached the apex, only to
Ind that the wind had caused the prizes to swing
mt of reach.
THE EAGLE TARGET.
The shooting ror the eagle was commenced yes
erday, and as the prizes and honors for the sue-'
:essful shots are or more value and greater than
or the ordinary targets, the riflemen kept up aa
larneat and rapid fire upon the bird, which ia
>erched upon a pole one hundred and sixty yards
ilstant from the shooting gallery. The bird is
Ilvided into eleven parts, (each of which ls to be
shot away,) which, with the prizes attached, are
ts named: For the crown, a set of French
rattles and glasses, valued at $5: for the Imperial
rlsbe, a rotary album, valued at $6; for the seep
re, a silver-headed cane, valued at $7; for the
lead, cedar cigar case, valued at $3: for the neck,
i travelling bag, valued at $10: for thc lei claw,
i revolving cigar stand, valued at $11; for the
.Ight claw, a castor, vajued at $12; for the left
vtng, a gold-headed walking cane, valued at $15;
or the right wing, china tea set, 64 pieces, val
led at $20; ror the tall, silver goblet, valued at
?26: Tor the body, silver tea set. valued at ?60.
The kingship or the coming year ls awarded to
lim who shoots off the eleventh and last frag
nent.
Soon after the shooting commenced, thc roll of
he drum announced that the bird had lost a pot ?
ion or hts make up. It was the crown shot off by
Jr. F. Torck. During the day the apple or state
md sceptre were also shot away-the ronner by
dr. C. Mensing, the latter by Mr. B. Bequest.
TIGHT ROPE PERFORMANTE.
At 4 o'clock the firing ceased, and shortly after?
wards Miss Nichols and Harry Leslie gave anoth
:r of their performances on the tight ropes, per
orralng many dangerous, wonderful and amus
ng feats. It ls impossible to do justice to these
performances in any sketch, and we thererore
id vide a full attendance or our citizens at the
csuvnics-as thousands ot tnem ao-ana see
hem. They are well worth a visit, and besides
.?tere are countless other things to occasion sur?
irise and admiration.
Thus closed the programme for the second day
>f the fest. It was successfully carre? out without
.he least confusion. There was not one hitch in the
irrangeraents of the committee, who covered
;hemselves with glory.

urday. Thc house was crowded to repletion, and
many who had purchased tickets could not find
even standing room. The receipts will reach
