How the Crowd Behaved It-self—The Fair Closed and

Managers Happy.

The smoke of battle hung low overHamline plain last night, and the smellof burning powder was on every breezeas the sun climbed down the westernsky. But the plain was bloodless, andthe powder burned had driven no bulletsthrough human flesh. So when the sunbad slid below the horizon there wasnothing except the ringing in the earsof many thousand men and women andchildren to remind them of the war-likescene. A great sham battle, had beenfought, and no blood had been spilledeven by accident. It was thelast day of the Fair, and itseeintd as if the populace of the statehad waited for this, the greatest eventof all the eight days, and then rushedthrough the turnstiles. It was thelaboring man's day. and there werethousands of workuigmen and theirfamilies who came'out for a holiday. Itwas the method the workinginen of theTwin Cities took of celebrating

TIII.IK labok'picnic, '

having failed to observe the day setapart by laboring men all over thecountry earlier m September. It wasalso veterans' day, and the old soldiers,who had come from all over the North-west, were all on hand, net only to seethe Fair, but lured by the chance of '

once again Smelling gun powder andhearing the booming cannon and rat-tlingmusketry, It was also Saturday.when many who could not, during allthe week leave business, found half aholiday. Added to this the day was per-fect, and under the line weather thecrowd was naturally increased. Allthese things conspired to bring togethermove people than were ever gatheredtogether on the Fair grounds, and somesaid thai never in Minnesota had therebeen so many people to witness anysingle event. All who were connectedwith the Fair smiled their broad* st smileand when they had seen the great crowdsately in and out of the grounds, theircup of happiness was full.

ft is hard to say just bow many peoplesaw the sham battle. President Mer-riam said there were 100,000; others saidmore, some said less. From the turn-stilts and carriage entrance recordsthere were not farfrom 00,000 within thefairgrounds fence and on the sightlypoints outside, conservative estimatesagree that there were not less than 25,-OUO who were successful in getting\u25a0within sight ofthe field where the mockbattle was raging. No accidents hap-pened in the handling of the crowd atthe grounds, and when last night's starsbegan to twinkle, they were not morebright than the faces of the managers.The last day was the greatest not onlyof this Fair but of all Fairs ever seen inthe state.A BLOODLESS BATTLEFIELD.

The Sham Battle Was a Successin Every Way.

Those who have been in the field ofbattle, where bullets flew and wherethere was something harder than smokecoming from the mouth of the cannon,say that the sham battle was as near animitation of the genuine article as canbe had with blank cartridges. Allthatwas lacking was the ping of minniebullets and the bursting of bombs, with,of course, the bloodshed that is theirnatural result. The movements of theopposing forces were the true battle-field movement. complete in all the de-tails and executed after the manner ofregular armies when they meet toslaughter one another in deadly com-bat, lt is said to have been - abetterrepresentation of actual war than mostsham battles are. Ivthe .minds of the3,000 and more veterans who took partitcalled up the shadows of the dim past,and it sent their blood through theirveins in quicker action than it hadflowed for years. Itwas war itselfwithnone of war's results.

The battlefield .was the level plainwithin the race track, where the grassis green, and which may be seen" fromrising land on two sides of it as well asfrom the grand stand. Down Jto thesouth of the grounds,'where Camp Mc-Gillis pitched, was the rendezvous forall the troops, and on the long, levelfield near by, the veterans were drawnin companies, as they came. It wasearlier than 1 o'clock when the officerson horseback were first to be seen gal-loping about and getting the line inreadiness. Muskets were distributedfrom the ordnance officer's tent and foran hour or more the distribution of ord-nance was going on. Gen. LuciusFairchild, of Wisconsin, who com-manded one of the opposing armies,was early on the field,

HIS AKJILESS SLEEVE

Einned across his breast and his brighttittons and epaulets glancing full and

fair in the afternoon sunshine, the pic-ture of a commanding soldier to whomthe sights of war were. old. Gen. LewWallace, who was to have commandedthe army against Gen. Fairchild, did notappear, and Col. Joseph Bobleter, oftheSecond Minnesota tegiment, was madecommander in his stead.

Itwas a little after 2 o'clock when thefo?c?8 of Col. Bobleter moved out fromthe rendezvous, marching in column upacross the field out to the road- andthrough the St. Paul entrance to thegrounds. There they marched down theprincipal street and up through the gateto the track enclosure and around to theeast end of what was a little later thebattlefield. Here the . hospital tentswere pitched, the battery stationed andthe officers' headquarters established.Hardly had this been done when Gen.Fail-child's troops were stationed in thewtst end of the grounds, over beyondthe track and just outside tne woods,pear the state farm. Itwas a mile be-tween the extreme. __.'<_•_ of the twofarcies. Allegorically Fairchild' com-manded the Vr-icr, _r__y, ar._ Bobleterthe \u25a0 supposed Confederates. --Across hefluid mi earthen breastwork had beenthrown up, as a defense for-the army tothe east, commanded by Col.. Bobleter;for, by the plan ofthe battle, Gen. Fair-child's army was :to be the attackingforce. Behind the earthwork a line ofmen was 'stationed, •muskets in hand,the entire width ofthe field. -Bobleter'sreserve. forces were stationed in two

divisions to the rear, while the artilleryoccupied a point well, over-'across thefield, on a little eminence.". '777

While the forces of Col. Bobleter weregetting ready for the contest, an equallylively scene, was being enacted on .thewest end ofthe field. ..Here, on an ele-vation overlooking the entire field, were(ten, Fairchild and his staff. : In thelittle valley or gully at their feet', the",three regiments composing Fairchild'sdivision were forming into line, withBattery F, of the First United Statesartillery, cm their leftHank. _

THE FKAY BEGINS.It was 8 o'clock when small puffs of

smoke were seen over beyond the trackwhere Fairchild's men *were, and thiswas the opening of the battle. Thenfor an hour and a quarter there werescenes of war. The advance of theskirmislers, the rapid firing, the gallop-ing of mounted officers, the cracking ofthe' muskets, the roar of the cannon,the advance and retreat, the movementsof the ambulance for the dead anddying, the bugle blast, the changing sig-nals, clouds of smoke, and all the at-tendant pageants and pomp of war.

As soon as the first . shots of Fair-child's attacking forces were heard Bob-leter threw out his skirmish, which ad-vanced at double quick, and when 200yards or more in front ofthe earth workthey dropped and fired in rapid order.This was returned with telling effectand, to carry out the mimicry of battle,the blue coated militia men "fell, appar-ently mowed down by the whizzing bul-lets. Into the cloud ofsmoke that camefrom the musketry, went the ambulancewagon, a regulation affair, drawn byfour government mules, with the hos-pital corps. Dr. J. H. Murphy, medicaldirector, galloped a head of it and di-rected the corps, as they hurried aboutthe field with • stretchers, - picking thedead and. dying. The firing went on;for five minutes, and the skirmish.line,ofthe defense, remained firm; then itfellback lor fiftyyards or so, while theattacking line advanced at a doublequick, firing .. incessantly. Then theskirmishers of Col. Bobleter ral-lied . and, - with a cracking ofrifles drove back the enemy, whilethe artillery from the two armieskept up a booming that shook the bluesky and clouded the field with smoke.The skirmishers on both sides fell backand lay quiet in the grass for five min-utes, and then the advance and retreatwere repeated. Then all firing' ceased,(.insulations of officers were held, andthe great yellowish •

CLOUD OF SMOKEdrifted away. Then there was an ad-vance of Fairchild's skirmishers,-and aminute later a whole division in a solidcolumn. This was a critical point inthe battle. Bobleter's skirmishers ifellback at a double quick, many a braveman biting the dust as the tide of thebattle rolled across the plain. The: at-tacking line came on with a step thatwas firm and even, when all at oncethere blazed a solid sheet of flamefrom behind the earthwork. . Platoonafter platoon followed, and the ranksofthe enemy were rapidly thinned. Butas gaps were made the columns closedup with soldierly precision, and when,after some minutes ofthe musketry, thefiring died down and the smoke hadcleared away, the flag of the attackingforce had been advanced and floated 200yards nearer the earthwork: Aconsulta-tion was held in Bobleter's \ camp, andpreparations were made for the worst.':The hospital tents were' struck, officersgalloped hither and thither,. with fieldglasses they watched the* signals. :7 For ;

ten mortal minutes there was a cessa-tion of the firing. It was a crisis in thehistory ofthe army behind the breast-"works. Then came Fairchild's men like

'a whirlwind,in platoons, on the __•„_:!?quick. ",They swept across 'the field,_ pouring hot shot into the brave men

lwho heroically opposed them. At this,point the guns of Shea's battery belched

•forth streams of fire and 7_ MOWED OBEAT GAPS - -through the advancing ranks of Fair-fchild's men. Shea handled his guns inbeautiful style, firing them in rapid sue-;

cession, and with telling effect. Thescene was one of terrible grandeur.'Like the bolts -of heaven -Hashed- thered artillery, and heaven and earth wereshaken with the sublime symphony ofthe cannon's roar;-.The yells of thecombatants lent a varying. chord to themingled music of whizzing ball andscreeching shell. :. ..

Fairchild's men reached the fencethatran across the field, not 200 yardsfrom the breastworks, and here theypaused. That pause was well-nighfatal, for Bobleter, encouraged by theenemies'' hesitation, at once assumedthe offensive, and, ordering a charge,led his forces rapidly out overthe breastworks and swept in re-sistless fury across the plateau.Fairchild's advance column recoiledbeneath the impetuous shock and began.to fall back in confusion. Observingthat the crisis had come and that thefate ofthe day hung upon the prompt-ness ofaction, Fairchild ordered his re-serve forward in double quick to the.support of his advance' line. Thismovement decided the day.. Bobleter's

. line wavered when struck by Fairchild'sreserve, and was utterly broken androuted before his own reserve couldcome from their concealment behindthe earthworks, to the rescue. A heroiceffort was made by Bobleter to redeemthe fortunes of the day, but in vain.Fairchild had him on the go, and press-ing his advantage drove him back .

OVER THE EAKTHWOKKS. ..-.although the ground was hotly andsullenly . contested. Fairchild's menscaled the breastworks and captured theenemy's artillery, ltwas at this stageOf the battle that the fiercest hand-to-hand contest took place. The blue andthe gray mingled in an indistinguish-.able mass, and the men fought.withclubbed guns until Bobleter, realizingthat the day was lost, ordered his bugles.to sound the truce, and a few moments"afterward made an unconditional sur-render. With the generosity character,istic of a brave soldier. Fairchild re-fused to accept Bobleter's profferedsword; and allowed his men to inarchoffwith the honors of war. Thus closeda day that shall ever be memorable inthe military history of Minnesota.

Game in Abundance.Now that the great sham battle is

over the warfare has commenced onducks, geese, pheasants,' snipe, 7etc..which must be. in great abundance, ifwe are to judge from the number ofsportsmen purchasing guns and hunt-ers' outfits at the extensive gun and

IT WAS A CRUSH.

How the Thousands Were Han-dled at the Gates. _..'_-

Trains, carriages, wagons and allkinds ofancient and modern forms oftraveling were in use yesterday to con-vey the immense crowds to the Fail-grounds. Long trains of passengercoaches left both St. Paul and Minneap-olis every fifteen minutes during theday on both the Minneapolis & St. Louisand the Manitoba lines, and every one ofthese trains seemed to be crowded toits utmost capacity with people ofevery age, class and condition. Not onlywere . the grand stand, the runningtracks, the tops of. barns and all thebuildings in the neighborhood weigheddown with spectators, but even the hillssurrounding the grounds on the north,east and west were crowded with a mul-titude of people.

The estimates ran all the wayfrom50,000 to 115,000, but a fair estimatewould probably be 60,000. Less thanthe latter number there certainly wasnot. The crowd, the entertainment and:the receipts certainly rank the day as:the greatest, the % most important andmost profitrble one ever seen on the;grounds. 777-7. 77-

The receipts must have, been some-thing handsome. Those admitted. tothe grand stand and grounds all paic anentrance fee of 50 cents, and ihe landssurrounding the grounds had all beenleased.and thus yielded a large revenue."Butthe crowd coming .all day was'nothing compared in. size to those whoall desired to leave at 5 o'clock. Theplatforms around the stations . werefilled,as well as the field for rods aroundthere, all -.pushing,'..hauling, and evenscrapping to make the numerous trainsthat were leaving' almost contin-uously. At 7:30 p. m., aftermore than twenty trains had . leftthegrounds, the lunch stands _ still did aland office business in sending their ref-use and crumbs to the hungry multi-tude. In addition to . those who leftonthe cars, a great many impatient ofwaiting walked to the ends of the streetcar lines of the two cities and many oth-ers were carried off in carriages. Thecrowd wae simply tremendous and onecan form noreal conception of its :sizewithout seeing it or one of like propor-tions. . '

\u25a0 '. .The Reward of Elegant Taste.Though not occupying a very conspic-

uous space in the main building, the St.Paul Carpet company had what thejudges, the people and everybody elseconsidered the most elegant, most taste-ful display of fabrics on the grounds—indeed, superior to anything 01 the kindever shown in . the ; Northwest. Yester-day three ofthe judges passed through,looked in upon Mr. Scott and told himplainly that he had 5 the finest. display,complimented him in terms . that wouldmake any." man's Iheart glad, and pre-sented the blue ribbon with an _ air thatsaid;-. "This is the most we can do; wouldthat we'could do more!" But Mr. Scottis a modest man and accepted the honorsgracefully as well as humbly and grate-fully. - Alllast week -it was " a commonremark among passers-by that "the moreyou looked the more _ you saw—not like1those displays whicli; show -such \u25a0-\u25a0\u25a0 loud,vulgar colors."-. The subdued richness of

!everything here contrasted. most pleas-: antly with the "loud colors" referred to. -

The owners of Wilkespersist that they were defrauded out ofthe race, as their horse won three/beats^and claim that the only reason assignedfortaking the first heat from Wilkesand giving it to* Jewett, was that theformer swerved a little on the track.One ofthe owners ofWilkes is Simon,the St. Paul pawnbroker, and he wasemphatic in declaring that somebody in i

Philadelphia, Sept. PresidentCleveland was - at home to the peoplefrom 0 o'clock this morning until 10:30,when he stood in the commissioners'room in the east wing of the city hall atBroad and Market streets and shook thehands of young and old, rich and poor,as they passed in continuous precessionbefore him. The, president, accom-panied by Secretaries Bayard and Fair-child, who stood immediately behindhim during the reception, let' the HotelLafayette shortly before 9 o'clock andpromptly upon the appointed time en-tered the city hall amid the cheers ofthe waiting multitude, and itwas a mul-titude. The space . opposite the south-ern entrance of - the building was fairlypacked with people, some of whom hadtaken up their station before dawn. Asthere were fully -20,000 people in theneighborhood, itis safe to say that notone-third of them succeeded in greetingthe president.

The stand in Independence square,at the rear ofthe old Historical hall, hada _ seating capacity , of about 100,000,and was filled' _ early J, by honoraryt'''.':°ts. Such were necessary to} am i imission. At the front of the stand1.....rg south an enclosure was railed offfor the president, his party, the-speak-ers and others.- At the front, and sus-pended so as to be in full view, hung aphotographic, copy of the original con-stitution. At the east side of-.the standstood the quaint old high-backed chair"occupied by George "Washington as thepresiding officer of the congress wliichadopted that honored and venerateddocument. Suspended from the backofthe chair was another copy ofthe na-tion's charter.

John A.Kasson, as president ofthe; constitutional centennial commis-sion, assumed his place, and after ahymn had been sung by the chorus,arose to make the introductory addressof the day. After a heavy round of ap-plause he spoke at length, his remarksbeing. punctuated with many demon-strations of approbation. Mrs. Cleve-

He will not find it in the glitter and thepomp that bedeck a monarch and dazzle ab-ject and servile subjects, for in his. countrythe people themselves are rulers. He willnot find itin the story of bloody foreign con-quests, forhis government has been contentto care for its own domain and people. . Heshould reioice because the work of framingour constitution was _ completed 100years ago to-day, aud also becausewhen completed it established a freegovernment.- -He : should : rejoice becausethis constitution and government have sur-vived so long, and also because they havesurvived with so many blessings and havedemonstrated so fully the strength and valueof popular rule.' He should rejoice in the \u25a0

wondrous growth and achievements of thepast 100 years, and also in the glorious \u25a0

promise ot the constitution through centur-ies to come. We shall fail to be duly thank-ful for all th.it was done for us 100 years agounless we realize the' difficulties of the workthen in hand and the danger avoided in the;task of forming "a more perfect union" be-'tween disjointed and inharmonious states,with interests and opinions radically diverseand stubbornly maintained. The perplexi-ties of. the convention' which under-took the labor -of preparingour constitution -are apparent in,these earnest words of one of the most illus-trious of its members I "The small progresswe have made after four or . five weeks ofclose attendance and :. continued reasoning \u25a0

with each other, our different sentiments onalmost every question— several of the lastproducing as many nays as yeas— me-thinks, a melancholy proof of the imperfec-tion of human understanding. -We indeedseem to feel our own want of . political wis-dom, since we have been running about insearch ofit. .We have gone back to ancienthistory for models of government and ex-amined the different forms of those repub-lics which, having been formed with theseeds of their own dissolution, now no longerexist. In this situation of this assembly,:groping, as it were, in the dark to find politi-cal truth, and scarcely able to distinguish itwhen presented to us," how has it happened,sir. that we have not heretofore once thoughtofhumbly applying to the Father ofLight toilluminate our understandings'?" •

AND THIS VIS!"- MAN,proposing to his fellows that the aid and;blessing of (Jed should be invoked in theirextremity, declared: "I have lived, sir, along time and the longer Ilive the more con-vincing proofs I see of the truth that Godgoverns in the affairs ofman. And ifa spar- 'row cannot fall to the ground without His '

notice, is it probable that an empire can risewithout His aid? We have been assured, sir,in the sacred writings that except the Lordbuild, those labor in vain that build it? Ifirmlybelieve this; audi also believe thatwithout His concurring aid we shall succeed ;

In '.his political building no better than thebuilders of Babel. We shall be divided byour little partial local interests. Our pro-jects will be confounded and weourselves, shall become a reproach andby . word . down .to future ages,and, what is worse, mankind may hereafterfrom this unfortunate instance despair ofestablishing governments by human wisdom ;

'and leave it to chance, war and conquest."In the face of all discouragements, thefathers ot the republic labored on for fourlong, weary • months, in alternate hope andfear, but always with rugged resolve, neverfaltering in a sturdy endeavor sanctified by aprophetic sense of the value to posterity ofineir success,- and !always with -unflinchingfaith in the principles which make the foun-dation of.a.goyerurnent .by the people. Aswe look down the past century to the originofour constitution; as we contemplate itstrials and its triumphs, \as we realize howcompletely the principles upon which it iebased have' met every national, peril andevery national need, how devoutly should weconfess with frankness

' '-.

An-other centennial day will - come and millionsyet unborn will inquire concerning ourstewardship and the safety of their constitu-tion. God grant that they may find itunim-paired ; and as we rejoice in the patriotism -and devotion of those who lived a hundredyears ago, .so may others who \u25a0 follow us re-joice in our fidelity and in our jealous lovefor constitutional liberty.

THE DIN WAS TEKRIFIC.

As far as the eye could reach therewas one solid, seething, surging mass ofhumanity, and when their throatsopened in unison.they filled the air andmade an inspiring scene.

Just as JusticeMiller.was seated the band struck up"Hail Columbia" as an accompanimentto the chorus ? 2,000 strong. The newwords ' contributed by Oliver WendellHolmes,were used, and as the popular,air floated into space itwas caught upby many of the crowd and this, withthe beating of time by thousands offeet on" the stand, produced an effectthat will linger long in the memories ofthose who witnessed the scene..

important social event connected withthe celebration of the Constitutionalcentennial took place this afternoon,when Mrs. Cvclefand was entertainedby Mr. and Mrs. George W. Childs, aftWooton, their beautiful country seat atBryn Mawr. The occasion was markedby the presence of a great number ofdistinguished persons. Mrs. Clevelandand the Invited guests, numbering from400 to 500, were taken to Bryn Mawr ina special train. Mrs. Cleveland lookedparticularly charming in her exquisitelyfitting dress of brown silk, trimmedwith . gold braid. When she reachedthe . second \u25a0 flooor of the station,Mr. Childs was waiting to re-ceive - her, and at once es-corted her into the private car whereshe was joined by Gen. and Mrs. Sheri-dan, Secretary of State Bayard, ex-President Hayes and others. Arrivedat Bryn Mawr, where the whole placehad turned out to see ber, Mrs. Cleve-land mounted to a seat beside WilliamStruthers on top of the tally-ho, and asshe sat there with a".'. ' . GIRLISHLY charming

and pleased expression, she so won uponthe hearts of the onlookers that theyburst into three cheers for her. Therest of the party were accommodated toseats on the tally-ho and other vehicles,and were driven to Wooton.Upon reaching Mr. Childs' groundsthe impromptu , coaching partywent at once to the springhouse, ane, after being shown its at*tractions, Mr. Childs led them to an. en-closure near by where seven^or eightthoroughbred - Jerseys were browsing.Mrs. Cleveland, on being told that shemight choose whichever one .of themshe wanted fora present, expressed herdelight in. naive fashion by consultingall about her as to her choice, and shecast an appealing glance at ex-PresidentHayes, by this time was in the enclos-ure examining the cattle with the air ofa rural critic. Mrs. Cleveland alsocalled upon Bishop Potter and Mr.Childs to give her their opinions, and atlast her selection wavered between Hes-ter and Groce. The latter,, A PRETTILY-COLORED HEIFER,eighteen months old, finally had thehonor "ofbeing chosen, and as her newmistress announced the fa.t she turnedlaughingly to Gen. Sheridan and said:

\u25a0 •'General, do you think I am mean intaking the best?". Mrs. Cleveland soonafter mounted the tally-ho and drove theparty herself to Mr. Childs' house,handling the reins, in skillful style.Once "again off the tally-ho Mrs. Cleve-land was soon inside the house, whereshe took her place with the other ladiesreceiving. There were Mrs. Potter, wifeof Bishop Potter: Mrs. MacAllisterLaughlon, Mrs. Samuel J. Randall, Mrs.Sheridan, Mrs. :F. D. Grant, wife ofCol." Grant; Mrs. Joseph Pulitzer, Mrs.J. Dtindas Lippincott, Mrs. Richard L.Ashhurst,Mrs. Richard M. Cadwallader,Mrs. Eleanor Patterson and theMisses Smith. The _ other guests, allanxious to get a sight of the president'swife, fell in line and passed in the frontdoor. Mrs. Cleveland had been \u25a0 at theliouse but a short time, before by aruse she. together with Mr. and Mrs.Childs, Col. and Mrs. Grant, MfS.Pulitzer and Miss Patterson, passed outof the house unobserved ami proceededto a small oak tree near the house.Here Mrs. Cleveland took a spade inher hand and cleverly turning the soil"planted" the tree which will go downto history as the product of her skill.By the time, this ceremou'- "as finishedthe tally-ho was alonjr^e and Mrs.Cleveland, mounting to the front seat,gathered up the reins like a true whip,and waving her good bye to Mr. Childland his friends, drove off with a coach-ful and returned to the city.

THE HIBERNIANSOCIETY. ,

The Members Listen to a Felici-tous Speech by the Nation's

;.Ruler. ~y:'-yrh i~<\f-

Philadelphia, Sept. Threehundred persons \u25a0 sat down to the cen-tennial banquet of the Hibernian so-ciety this afternoon. Alter the mem-bers had been seated a few momentsPresident Cleveland arrived. As thepresident entered the entire assemblagearose, and amidst cheers and waving ofhandkerchiefs the chief executive wasescorted to his seat by the side of thechairman, ex-Gov. Andrew Curtin.Afterhalf an hour's intermission Chair-man Curtin rapped to order, and intro-duced Gov. Green, of New Jersey, whoresponded to the toast,: "The Constitu-tion of the United States." Chairman,Curtin, after a few moments intermis-sion, introduced President Cleveland,who spoke as follows:Ishould hardly think that my participation

in the centennial celebration was satisfactoryifIhad no opportunity ofmeeting the repre-sentatives of the society, which, through itsantiquity and associations, bears close rela-tion to the time we commemorate. .Thatyoncelebrate ithis occasion is a reminder of thefact that, in the troubulous and perilous daysof our \u25a0 country, those . whose \u25a0 names stoodupon your roll of membership nobly fought

, for the cause of free government and for thehomes which they found: upon our soil. Nosociety or I corporation, I am sure, has in Itscharter or in its traditions and history a bet-ter or more valuable certificate to its patri-otic worth and character than you have, andto which this association is "successor. - Ithas always been noted * for the firmadherence of its members to theglorious cause in which we engaged.'One of the objects of your society is stated tobe for the relief of emigrants from Ireland,and it leads me to reflect how nearly allied tolove ofcountry is kindly humanity, and hownaturally such benevolentfpurposes of thlasociety, as the assistance and relief of yourstrange and needy emigrants follows the pa-triotism in which it. had its origin. ; Lonemay the Hibernian society live, and. prosper,long may its benevolent humane work beprosecuted, and when another centennial ofthe constitution is celebrated, may those whoshall then form its membership, be as fullyin sympathy with its \u25a0 patriotism, its history,and traditions, and ready to joinin the - gen-eral felicitation, as the men 1 sec about mehere." . . • • \u25a0 .

The speech elicited most uproarousapplause.and when the president, a fewmoments later, started to leave the hall,the members formed in line and he wascompelled to accord each a hand shake.Afterthe retirement of the president,Lieut. Gen. Schotield responded to thetoast "Army .and Navy." and Gov.Beaver to ''Thirteen Original States.'*Among other speakers,'were Gov. Fitz-hugh Lee,-'of Virginia, and EngineerMelville, ofthe navy.
