To-DAY's PROCEEDINGS.

This morning, like yesterday, was as love-
ly an one as ever dawned upon sinful
world. 1t was little cooler, if anything,
which was by no means Objectionable.
by Ii O'Clock the crowd began to gather.
but it was nothing like so large as that OF
yesterday. Our attention was called this
morning, to fact we failed to observe ON
yesterday, in connection with the parade
of the military companies. The flag of the
United States was entirely ignored, and the
letters Y. So were torn from the cat
ridge boxes; a number Of the members de-
claring they would not parade at all if COM
PEELED to do so with these letters on the
boxes. We presume it makes but little diff
ference with Uncle Sam whether these
young gentlemen discard his initials or not.
for he expects to continue his existence. re-
gardfess Of their feeling of contempt. 4''l
We learn this morning that instead of it
being Mr.. Samuel Nj. Page, who so pro-
perly and CALAMITY denounced one of the
swindlers, yesterday, for imposing on ignor-
ant people, the gentleman who did it was
from Manchester, whose name we have for
gotten, and that Mr.. Pages only connec-
ton with the affair was his being present
and acting as the gentleman's friend, who
was threatened with arrest by policeman.
The reelection of the present officers of the
Fair was freely discussed this morning. and
while considerable disappointment was man
ifested, all seem willing to abide the result.
and assist the officers to correct the numer-
Gus causes of complaint which now exist.
AT this hour ~ o'clock large crowd is
on the GROUND, but nothing like SO large as
yesterday. The seats around the Judges
stand, are filed, all anxious to witness
the sack and wheel-bai.ow races, arranged
to come offat this hour. t s
The prize swindlers have moved their
stands near the judges and are earnestly at
work swindling the people. tla
A foot race for $3.50 has Just taken place
between number of colored bows nine
entries were made. The race was easily
won by James Carr, of Manchester. The
distance was fifty yards.
The wheelbaITow race was made IN of
two colored boys blindfolded, both of whom
ran into the fence with their wheelbarrows
and had general smash-up, creating great
mlrth among the spectators.
A colored boy, named jim Smith. won
the first wheelbarrow race, without blind
folding, while the latter was won by David
Featherstone. s-aa
For the sack race there were eight
entries, to run a distance of fifty yards.

ESCAPE OF A NOTED Horse THIEF
Late last night we learned that Albert For
tune, the notorious mulatto horse-tflief, sent
to the penitentiary from Spotsylvania forl3
years, had made his escape. lie was plas-.
terlng in the new shops and let himself
down into the prison yard by derrick,
when he concealed his convict garb by pull
ling on oyeralls. He made his escape once
before, during Wardwell's time, and was
only recaptured last spring, after several
desperate encounters with the Washington
and Virginia police.

!" Give fools their gold and thrones their power
Let fortunes bubbles rise and fall;
Who sows a field or trains n flower qb
Or plants tree is more than ALL - h
Now that NATURES beautiful flower-gar-
dens are closed for the year, and the green
houses and conseryatories no longer rivaled
by a universe of bloom, the full charm and
attractlyeness of the latter are to be en-
joyed and appreciated.
AT Leckenby & Laird's gardens, on
Grace street, and in their newly opened
greenhouse, on Main, between Seventh and
Eighth, the devotees of "Flora" may reyel
in beauty and bloom. Every variety of
choice Towering shrubs and house-plants,
including aquatic varieties, and aquarians,
stocked with plants and fishes, can be OBJ
tanned at trifing cost; for, if "a thing of
beauty is a joy forever" these gems of
tiorescent loyeliness, and living sources of
interest, repay one thousand fold for all
the care and culture bestowed.
The science Of Horticulture having kept
pace with kindred arts, unto its present
state of perfection, has such positively re-
munerative and enchanting qualities as
makes it more ''labor of love'' than per-
haps any other vocation can boast of being.
Among the floral exhibitions at the Fair
Grounds, from the hands of Mr.. and
Mrs. Leckenby, is a piece Of work, re-
iiectlng upon the skill and superior taste of
its fashioners. We refer to an immense
cross of variegated immortelles, rising from
q base Of rock work, piercing crown of
flowers, and presenting solid and SYM
metrical mass of bloom. Regal crosses in
green and white, anchors, pyramids and in
Vulnerable devices in fresh and immortelle
flowers, are on display from these gardens,
and many of them will return from the
Fair to adorn the churches and homes, in
honor of the Sayiour's approaching birth
