DAr.-The following We take from the Baltimore
Sun Of yesterday:
The rain storm which commenced about nine
o'clock on Wednesday evening continued with
but few intsrmissions during the entire day and
evening yesterday. The rain sadly interfored
WIKI tho festivities OF the Schuetsen park, and
was, Of course, q serious drawback on the or.
ehequer Of the association. There was . slim
attendance Of visitors, but those who did ven.
turs out appeared to bear the rain patiently,
and took in all the fun as II came along Ths
shooting for prizes, under the shelter Of the
shooting -hsuse, went on at intervals, and the
ten.pin alleys were thronged with eager contest
ants for the prizes to be awarded for the best
bowling All outdoor sports were necessarily
dispensed with, but the imitation Of tho balloon
Flying Cloud was continued, and about six
p m. there was sufficient gas In II 10 have a..
oended, but about that time the rain came down
10 torrents, and Professor Light was advised to
defer his @real flight until this afternoon; but
murmurs arising among the crowd, who had gone
out In the rain expressly TO witness the ascension,
he concluded to try an ascension. II was found
that the balloon would not carry up the basket In
which the Drenaut stands, whom the Professor
divestod himself Of his coat, and cutting the
basket loose, at about siI o'clock, he jumped
across a rope suspended below the balloon, whom
1t gradually rose, and taking Q northeasterly di.
reotion, in consequence Of night coming on II
was soon lost to view 1t Is supposed, however,
that the daring @ronaut descended as soon as ho
could conveniently do so. The dancing saloon
was well patroniEed, aud tho dancing was kept
up during the evening
Either business or inclement weather, or both,
prevented President johnson from leaving WASH
ington yesterday, but should the weather prove
clear to-day, It Is confidently expected that he
will bo in attendance. A delegation Of the

At the con,iusion OF the soirss, DR.. Nichols,
the tklllful surgeon Of the institution,
arose and said that he knew SO little Of the art
Of musclhe considered II NAL apropos for him to
say anything in commendation Of tho entertain
ment, which they all enjoyed so much. He
would, therefore, call upon the Rsy. DR.. aurley,
the President Of tho Board Of Visitors Of the
asylum, and an excellent judge Of music, Il
tender the thanks Of all to their obliging musi
cal friends for the pleasure which they derived
| from the evenings entertainment.
The Rev. Dr. aurley In response TO the cal
made, said he feared his friend (Dr Nichols
gave him too much credit on that score for th,
| little he knew about music. He was delighted,
though, at the really good music which hs heart
tonight, and, In behalf Of the officers and al
concerned, he rendered their kind friends wht
were instrumental in rendering the evening ont
Of pleasure and qualification for the musica
treat, their grateful thanks for their kind office
upon this and similar occasions. He alluded Il
-, the pleasure and refining influences Of music
and that he who had not in him music. or low
for concord Of sweet sounds, was not to b
trusted, according to the Bard Of Avon.
At the oonclurion Of the address the doxolog,
was sung, in which many Of the poor, unfortu
nate patients took part and then the bcnedic
