yesterday was much larger than we had sup
posed Il would be, and was certainly the most
miscellaneous gathering we ever saw. About
one third we're white, and the remainder we're
of every conceivable shape which It is pos
sible for the human face to put on. We no.
ticed among the former in the crowd, after
dinner, quite a number Of Republican candi-
dates for County aud Congressional places,
a species Of advertising which did not, we
think, pay as well at his time, as though they
had instead Of n visit to the Fair Grounds,
made some public library the present Of a lot
Of books, and had the same acknowledged
through the papersl
The white crowd comprised all parties, but
the LINCOLN element predominated, and we
noticed quite a number occupying seats
with the celebrators. and edged in kind o
side.wi among them. The hot weather and
close proximity TO the dowi-trodden did not
seem too heavy for them. There we're in DIFF
ferent directions from the Speakers stand re-
freshment tables where the crowd frequented
during speaking time, and kept up such a clat.
ter that we could with difficulty hear the
Speaker Of the Day. These eating places,
together with a pair Of tents in which were
patent flying dutchmen" propelled around a
circle by horse power, and which were CON
stantly filed with a noisy crowd of curious
whites and blacks) we're nuisances, and we
hereby, in advance, request the State Board,
TO keep such nuisances away from the neigh
borhOod of the Speakers stand during the
continuance of the Fair. Then some uneasy
fellows kept up an occasional punching on n
bass drum in the neighborhood, which, in con
%nection with the loud talking Of inconsiderate
and ill-bred people, served to complete the

was not near so good, for with the chatter of
the vehicles, the yelling Of the drivers, and
the hooting about the drinking booths, where
small-fry gambling was carried on, it was an
excellent imitation of what we had been taught
in the childrens' books to call pdndimoRium.
The feature of the afternoon was n lengthy
address by c. ii. LANGsToN, u family olive
colored individual, who is denominated one
of the pillars of the colored institution in
Ohio. He is what is called in modern par
lance, an 'octoroon," and is really a sharp
fellow, possessing the gift of CAB to a voluble
degree, and not devoid Of pleasing address.
He uses correct language, and if we may ex-
cept a little coarseness in the disposition OF
his argument, his address, considered in the
light in which such efforts usually are, was
creditable.
LANGsToN is a tall, slender man, has a long,
narrow head, a t~olerably high forehead which
looks as though it had been put in n press
when he was young and squeezed nearly flat,
keen black eyes, and a nose which is both high
and sharp, and in striking contrast with the
probosces around him. He wears his hair
(which is Just a little inclined to kink) short,
has a t~olerably savage looking moustache, and
q beard whose thinness is more than compen-
stated by its glossy blackness. He has the APP

Inc whites brought the African race here,
he said, Tor their convenience, and made
slaves OF them; they had toiled for two humid
red and nifty years; and now most of those
VINO do not desire them kept in slavery want
