livered to the Knights and the Queen and Maid
Of Honor, by Mr.. W. Gilman of Richmond, which
we give below:
l. With no nailed arm, or cleaning word, or
barbed trappings for steeds did our knights go
forth to-day to battle IN deadly strife as did the
knights of old. But in mimic and bloodless tour
ney they contended, with no less chivalric pride
for the knightly privilege of Offering to Beauty
the tribute, which the Brave Of all ages have
sought to win for the Fair. Brighter smiles,
more winning glances, nor ripper bushes meier
greeted Chandos, nor Percy, nor Black Edward,
than cheered the knights wearing your victorious
coors, fair ladies, to deeds of daring in the bril-
liant tilt to-day. They needed not go back to
the realms ofthe shadowy past. to seek a chiyal
rescue model in the Unknown Knight, who en-
tered the lists teAshby, for in their young life
rhass along This grand historic Valley, with
raven plume, onrsnawaMhite= charger, a knight,
whose name and deeds will live in song and sto-
ry when mighty cities have grown old where vir
gin forests now stand. Gay Poesy and spark
ling Romance Will not leave him to the cold en-
brace of their stad and exacting Sister, History,
but will WOO Tas.os, 'Ariostos and Spencers yet
unborn, tossing Ashhy,s glory in immortal verse.

PLOTS, this beautiful valley-pride Of Virginia
with mountains biuer than the. Choyiot hills of
Bonnie Scotland-with rivers fnot richer in le-
gends more romantic and picturesque than the
Rhine, the Clyde or the Shannon-with a people
as devoted to their faith as was ever Son of Ju-
dab to the ceremonas Of his fathers, and with
maidens as lovely and as loveabc the fair
haired Saxon or the dark eyed Jewess, made i'm

AT the festivals which followed the tourney in

ladies of their choice, were accorded precedence

IN meeting such expenses would seem to be no
unsuitable useless mode of employing the
funds of the Society. M ~
Finally, report to the Society at q subsequent
meeting upon any question thus carefully exam
ined, giving the conclusions arrived at and the
experimental facts upan which these conclusions
had been based, would be of great value to all
persons practically interested in the. questions
discussed, would reflect credit upon the intelli-
gent activity of the Society, and would consti-
tute real addition to our stores of knowledge
in relation to scientific agriculture. az
u whether in this way or in many other diree-
tons of effort which present themselves, let us
trust that the substantial usefulness of societies
like that to-day assembled may constantly in
crease, that their growing energy may ever tend
to throw fresh light upon the interesting scen

farming, may serve more ana more to improve
the prsctep Of that Oldest and noblest of the arts,
may exert q marked Influence for good upon the

The crowd in attendance On Thursday was
large, but no so large as that of Wednesday.

Of which he may well be proud 4l-s

1t will be observed that among the negatives were
several Senators who have been unainching oppo-
nents of the bill. They voted Nay" because they
desired that the bill should be read third time, and
squarely killed this morning.
Soon afterward Mr.. Hale called from the table the
Governors veto on the Whitehall and Plattsburgh
Aid Bill As soon as thAuaSto was read Mr. Hale
made q severe attack on the Governors grounds OF
objection, charging that they were not sufficient to
defeat what he Senator Hale) considered merlto-
rous measure. The speech was characterized by all
the acidty of language the Senator is 80 capable OF
expressing but without the personal illusions which
weakened his attacks on Gov. Fentons Veto Senators
Creamcr Nichols, Norris Williams, ODonnell. and
Parker made speeches sustaining the veto, and the
latter gentleman stated that he was glad TO see SO
distinguished Democratic Senator as Mr.. Nichols,
sanction the cause Of Gov Fenton, who wrote SINH
lar veto last year. Twelve Democratic Senators, in-
GLIDING Mr.. Nichols, then voted to override that
Veto He was now glad TO sec so many repenting
and coming upon Republican ground The speeches
against Gov. Hoifman's veto were made by Messrs.
Beach and Murphy, and the latter showed consider
able more energy than he usually displays. 1t was
pretty evident, from Mr.. Murphy's speech, that
henceforth there will be two strong factions in the
Democratic ranks one opposed to State aid to rail
roads, led by Gov Hoffman, and the other in favor
of sach measures, when necessary. led by Senator
Henry C. Murphy. The veto was sustained by the
fnllowino vote.
