50 large concoursc Of persons in any of the
towns Of the Wabash Valley as that Of Aon day.
1as.. The crowd was estimated ct from 10000
to 5000 persons.
The expressed intention Of many military
companies to encamp On the Battle grouud Of
Tippecanoe FIRST caused the people Of Lafayette
to think of some means whereby tie encamp-
ment and the Fourth Of July celebration might
be worked up together into sort Of American
Carnival, but the memorable field Of Harrison's
victory wes seven miles north Of the city, and
as it could not be conveniently brought within
the city limits, the enterprising men of Latay~
cite DECIDED to offer handsome subscription to
the Militia to forego the Battle ground, and
