and the rain Of the afternoon. Children and sdults
had an equally happy time Of IT, and all le regretal
that another summer would have to roll away before

QUITE Crowd was assembled in front Of the Citi-
zehs' Bank one Saturday, caucusing over the new
countefeit tens on that Bank-many who went to the
Bank with bills of that denomination to ascertain
whether they were good or not. Those who brought
the good bills were offered specie, which they took

them scored with broad stripes Of black ink and
handed back to them. We saw several of the holders
of scored bills outside who appeared to be quite ex-
cited at the liberty taken by the Bank officers, in de-
facing paper which did not belong to them. On the
racerack, in the afternoon, the inspection and COM
parson OF the good and bad tens was an excitement
second only to that of the race.

probable that, than waste the gas an ascent
will be made anyhow.
