breeze. The enthusiasm is hourly in

trains on each line of railroad come fill
cd to Overlooking. From Buffalo trains
have been running every hour and a
half since five o'clock, and all arrive

Banners are waving from every ho-
tel and public building, and over every
spot where a staff can be raised. Ar
engagements are now being made for
the erection of temporary buildings for
the accommodation of visitors, num-
bers even of last nights were obliged
to sleep on the floor and tonight the
want of room will be seriously felt, as
an immense accession to our visitors
will be made when the large boats and
trains from the west arrive.
Some 900 officers and soldiers of
the war Of 1912 have been already
registered by the Committee. A del
egation of Tuscarora Indians, num-
bering some forty, with several old
warriors of the tribe, who fought at
Lundy's Lane, are here, and form an
interesting feature in the proceedings.
All the societies have the several
devices, flags and inscriptions display
ing names.
The whole presents very brilliant
appearance, with large crowds of mill
tary in splendid uniform and almost
every visitor decked with badges of
different devices.
A Geographic despatch from Hon
Y. Ewing, states he is on the way, but
did not reach Buffalo in time for the
train. He is expected by the next
train. Large numbers of private par
ties from the Eastern and Southern
cities are arriving, and great num-
Der of ladies are in town to enliven
the scene.
Hon. Thomas Corwin left yesterday
morning for Montreal, on account Of
i'll health. The report is current that
he did not deem it proper for a cabi-
net minister to take part in the pro-
ceeding, but the fact may be relied on
that his health would not permit the
excitement of the celebration.
The proceedings are to commence
at II NJ, by the firing of natio nal
salute, and are precisely as stated yes
terday by the report After the re-
view of the troops, the same order Of
proceedings will be had as in this af

immense numbers of persons from the
surrounding country, South and " est

Walter Forward and Judge johnson
Of Ohio.
At ten o'clock A. NJ, the miitar,
were reviewed by Gov. Hunt, in ,h'
presence of an immense concourse Q
spectators, whose numbers it is impos
sible to calculate. Some idea of tn,
assembled mass may be formed from
the fact that to-day there are at leas
$4,000 strangers in town many o
them, however spread around to visi
the Falls and other localities of inter
est in the vicinity.
Several more pickpockets have beef
arrested. One having been caugh
