Romarkablo Picnic in New York.

The most remarkable picnic party of
the season assembled yesterday after
noon and evening at Elm Park, near
the intersection of Eighth avenue and
Ninety. Second street. About 1000 per-
sons were there, the majority of the
number being fashionable prostitutes,
proprietors of houses of ill-fame, thieves,
fighting men, gamblers, aud loafers of
the town. The picnic was gotten up
under the auspices of society of the
keepers Of houses of prostitution, known
as the "Societas Cyprisnoram," which
was instituted at the time of the
presentation of Assemblyman Jacobs
police bill in the Legislature-the ex-
penditure of money incurred in lobby
dabbling in Albany had so depleted the
funds of the organization, that some
measure of money getting was necessary
to replenish the treasury. A ball, pat
termed after the bal masque, at the
Opera Comique in Paris, was first pro-
posed, but abandoned on account of the
latensss of the season, and in its stead ar.
rangements were made fer the picnic of
yesterday. This evidently put thousand
or more dollars into the treasury of the
association. A string band, numbering
fourteen pieces, was on the large plat
form attached to the hotel, which was
ihronged with the most showy Of Green,
Mercer and Houston streets abandoned
women, accompanied by their fancy men,
with whom they whirled in the mazy
circles of the German waltz without the
slightest regard to proprieiy. In the
woods near the grounds number OF Sc
we're and bloody encounters occurred
during the afternoon and evening. In
one Of these melees man, whose name
is unknown, received a severe cut in the
abdomen; he was taken away by his
friends. A police force, assisted by
force of field constables, consisting Of
the proprietors Of the house, we're un-
able to keep order The officers Of the
Association, which hold their meetings
in a hall over liquor saloon on the east
side of town, were present, decorated
with gaudy badges, and fitted about the
grounds ia evidently high glee Every
visitor, previous to admission, was
decorated with q red satin badge, on
which was inscribed in black letters the
Hame Of the association.-Neso York
