enquiry it ascertained that the Newborn

than do injustice to the Committee of Arrangements
to the Marshal and his Assistants on the OCCASION
No unkind unfriendly reflections were intended

| existed, no offence be taken. Marshals and
Committees of Arrangements always act, it is to be
presumed, from patriotic motives and for the public
convenience, with no Thought Of pecnniary Or per.
sona advantage and it is not pleasant to them to
be censnred, when they feel whatever others may
think, that they have performed their whole duty
The most difficult task, next TO that Of occupying
acceptably to all the positions we have just men,
toned is that Of pairing for 81 count
Of the proceedings on such an occasion to which
none win object s:s,.
