THE TURF Our readers should not forget
the race at Forest City Park this afternoon, for
which nine horses are entered. 1t is true that
the horses are all unknown to fame, but that is
no reason why the race should not prove inter-

that the now famous horse, Jim Irving, was en-
tered in the three minute class at Buffalo, and
created great sensation by trotting a mile in
2.24 So there is no knowing what the green
ones may do to-day At any rate, the race will
be well worth seeing and we hope to see a good

and were met at the eastern end of Vaughan $
bridge by the Iron Zouaves of Ligonia, accom-
panied by the Ferry Band, and escorted to the
square, where the stand for the speakers erect
ed They were greeted with fine pyrotechnic
display, while the thunder of artillery added to
the general excitement
VIM. III. Atwood, Esq, introduced as the
first speaker, III. K Piper, Esq, of Washington
d. o., who presented logical and effective ar
gument in favor of the Republican party
Hon. j. ii. Ella of Rochester, n. H., followed.
Mr. Ella analysed the platform and principles
of the two parties reviewed the history Of the
Republican party and contrasted it with the
action of the Democratic party He eloquent
ly and forcbly referred to the distinguishing
results of the present administration, and in
vited the Democrats present to candidly weigh
all these things before they cast their vote next
Monday. After music by the band, the COM
panies were invited to march to the residence
of Gordon r. Garden, Esq. A fine collation.
was spread, to which the companies did ample
justice. This was something out of the usual
order and was exceedingly gratifying to the in
vited companies At the same time the speak
ers of the evening and officers of the several
companies, with invited guests, were entertain
ed in the elegant residence of Mr.. Garden, by
Mrs. Garden, assisted by some lady friends.
Taken altogether, the audience, the speakers
and the entertainment, render the flag raising
at Ligonia memorable among the incidents of
the campaign.
