THE TOURNAMENT.
A Gala Time at the rrotting Park
To-Day.
Departure OF the knights for the
Scene of Contest.

The lively spirit Of the people of the
South, amid innumerable hardships and
after hard fought war, is worthy Of the
grandest days Of chiyalry, showing a
noble bearing and fortitude beyond the
expectation Of the wisest philosophers.
Nothing could be more appropriate to
raise funds for the maintenance of the
widows and orphans Of the Lost Cause
than tournament, because it mingles
together the gallantry of our brave sons
and the gentleness Of our lovely daugh-
tiers, creating scene unsurpassed in
splendor, and a sentiment unequaled in
charity.
About thirty knights, we'll mounted
and bearing their lances, drew up in
front of Court Square, on Second street,
this morning, and we're gazsd at with
admiring eyes by large throng of spec
tators. A majority of the Filters "
we're quite young, and very neatly cos
tuned, without any attempt at gaudiness.
At nine clock the cavalcade, preceded
by band of music, moved through sew
eral streets of the city out to the Park,
where the Knights saluted the judges OF
the tournay, and then the fair ladies
present. They then retired from the
ring, when Hon. VIM. 7. Avery delivered
an Grafton that was most appropriate to
the times and the occasion. 1t was at
tentively listened to, and drew forth
hearty rounds of applause.
AS we 60 to press the fitting has com
menced, and bids fair to be lively and
close contest. The Knights are all good
riders, and balance their lances right
we'll. Expectation is tip.toe to see who
will be the successful competitor, and
many beauties are smiling in expecta-
ton of being crowned Queen.
A large concourse of ladies and gen.
tlemen are present, and seem to enjoy
the sport greatly. Large delegations
from West Tennessee, North Alabama,
Mississippi and Arkansas came in last
night to witness the display, and were
highly delighted at the turn out this
morning. We can safely say that the
Memphis Tournament is the grandest
affair of the kind which has taken place
in the South for years.
