About seventy-nve riders in fancy costumes ap-
peared on the riding platform. and exhibited some
very intricate maneuvres. A change OF riders and
costumes at intervals OF half an hour gave variety to
to the spectacle, the brilliancy OF which was en-
hanced by o display Of rockets, calcium lights,
Chinese lanterns and coored tableau fires. the last
producing very fine effect. The garden was de-
corated with nags, and Couterino's Hoboken Ban0
played some well selected music during the enter
tainment, among other pieces the "velocipede
March," composed for the occasion. The
attendance of spectators was not very large,
which was probably owing to the threatening

merry here, some farms have scarcely
enough for fire wood at the present
time. This forcibly illustrates 20 our
mind the great importance of taking
care Of the timber, and we verify be-
lieve that forty years hence Kansas can
boast of more timber than many of the
old timbered States. She most certain
ly can if our farmers can be awakened
to the great importance of tree planting.
And now is the time for every man
who has land to plant trees. Put out q
few this spring and so continue to do
every year and in q few years our
beautiful prairies will be covered with
fne groves. Homes viii thus be made
attractive, their value greatly increased,
rains will fall more often, harvests will
be more bountiful, and the rising gem
Grafton greatly blessed. Farms la this
vicinity are selling at from $40 to S75
per acre. Several of the old farmers OF
this place talk of visiting Kansas for
the purpose of seeing the country and
we think they will find it good enough
to settle in and make money.
Hop raising ruined many here last
year, as they mortgaged their places
to put out new yards, aud did not make
enough out of their hops last fall to
pay the expense of picking. Little
they think of the many they are indi-
rectly running by furnishing hops to be
brewed into beer. Their hopes were
great, as some years the hops grown on
a single acre would bring thousand
dollars, but their expectation of an
early fortune has been blighted by an
all wise Providence. The Lodge OF
Good Templars is hourishing III this
place and accomplishing much good.
There is much need of it in this State.
May the good work prosper and pro-
gress. 81. s. P.
