was the exquisite wreath presented by New
York, - and borne on ornamental pole. The CLUB
used the wide awake torches, the stans ano
those Of the transparencies wrapped In red and
white ribbon, with streamers. Thus equipped,
and in their snowy uniform, the club presented
truly q magnificent appearance, and established
beyond question their indisputabe right 10 the
proud motto, "Jsmais Arrere."
The Fifth Ward Club last night was accompa-
MED by three wagons in which were embodied
some very beautiful ideas. The first contained
forge, an anvil, and the various appurtenanees OF
the cooper's aud other trades, and in 1t were men
at work with the different tools. This repre-
sented the mechanical arts. In the second was
spinning wheel and at it,.turnEg of the spun cot
ton were three beautiful yeung ladies. This was
Home Industry and depicted, we fear,
class of household duties now s-days too much
neglected by our msidens. The third wagon con-
tanned corn and sugar cane stalks, and was
inscribed Agriculture is the Source of Strength"
For the conception of this design and the manner
of its execution the Fifth Ward Club deserve 3
great deal of credit
We noticed last night with .much pleasure that
monster rooster IA feet 10 inches) in the process
sion and possession Of the well organized Chanti-
cleer Club. This rooster, go hardly contested for
during the past week, has fallen to the glorious
Chandeliers. For this they deserve much credit.
Being lately organized club they thus show that
in whatever they undertake, whether to gain
rooster or work for the good of the Democracy,
they will succeed at whatever cost Long crow
the Chandeliers. Cock-s doodle doc!
The admiration of many we're attracted by two
immense heads of Seymour and Blar-in fact the
largest and best executed Of the kind we have
seen since the commencement of this glorious
campaign. We heard that they were executed
by jimmy Noise, the son of our well-known fell
low.townspsn and artist, T. S. Noise, Esq. What
is more cTedsble to the young gentleman, Is, that
he painted them for the Bulwer Club during his
lsisure hours of business.
Many were the clubs who last night received
tokens of the admiration of their lady friends
Some Of these presentations will be found de
tailed elsewhere, but to describe all is imprscti
cable. Many, too, were the bouquets that changed
hands last night changed from the fair hands of
| their makers to the harder and broWner ones Of
| those who were thus encouraged to perseyere 10
the good work. The women of New Orleans have
! done no little towards the success of this cam
paign, and the CRESCENT here acknowledges their
services and thanks them for them.
A tandem team of grsys, harnessed to basket
work carriage, was very noticeable feature on
Canal street. The horses were gaily decked with
flags and trsnsparences, and the wagon was
PRETTY adorned in the same manner. This was a
novel idea, and very good one.
To the innumerable clubs who, last night, by
cheers or serenades, or both, hOnored us, We re-
turn our hearty thanks. At the late hour at which
we write we cannot call the roll of these friend;
Of ours, so we beg you, gentlemen, to rest salts
fed with this general acknowledgment. God
bless you all, says the CRESCENT.
