and department of theproceedings. Tis is per-
haps due, and very natural, to thorough organ
ization, apportionmcnt of duties and RESPONSE
bilities among various committees, making
each responsible, and providing an efficient
head with subordinates to assist in the general
oversight and carrying out of the programme.
The numbers that poured in Turing the at-
ternoon filled the streets and impaired to the
village a sort of beehive liveliness Some of
the delegations, such as the Geneva and Con-
neaut delegations did not get ia until evening,
intending to be in in season for the evening
performance only. The speaking was arrang-
ed for the afternoon to begin about two o'clock
at which time Gen. SHERWOOD, Secretary of
State, and Senator BURROWS, arrived. Owing
to the chilliness of the weather, so in contrast
with the day before, some doubt arose about
the policy Of holding an audience in. the
open air, but it soon became apparent that there
was no alternative, as no hall accommodations
were adequate. The band, in its very best spirits
and wind, gave the signal at the door of the
Clarendon for procession and escort to the
green. Here the little brass lIowitzer just pro-

moved off at the head of another procession,
conducting the speakers and officers and the
Boys in Blue again 10 the Clarendon, where
the large hall was spread to its full extent
with bountifully loaded tables, to which all
were, at successive sittings, supplied. After
all were satisfied, and the late arriving delega-
tions had been duly cared for, the work of form
ing the evening procession was entered upon,
in front of the public schools. When the yari-
GUS clubs had got into line, with their respec-

Brass Band, the order of march was given, the
moving mass of flame making one of the most
imposing and inspiring sights ever witnessed in
Ashtabula
The procession moved up Park street to
Church, along Church to Main, down Main
to Lake, thence again to Park, up Park to
Vine, along Vine to Prospect, up Prospect to
Division, down Division again to the Park,
where a hollow square was formed, with that
common in the centre, in preparation for the
final display-that cf si4ewosks, These con-

corner of the park was supplied with rockets,
while the Roman candles were put into. the
hands of the boys in blue, which at the signal
given were each discharged toward the censos,
lighting up the clements with almost the
brightness of the mid day sun, and bringing an
exclamation from the lips of the multitsae, ex-
pressiye of the admiration of the spleHdor of
the scene. The procession was formed first
of the East w lage Club, mounted, under Capt.
+. i. HARMON, making fine appearance, and
eliciting MUCH attention. Then followed sue
cessiyely the Connequs Club, Capt. CHAPMAN,
