pi,sbIe aud aOuriShing town Of Buffalo,
on Thursday last. The activity aud life
displayed in all business Transactions aud
ths number Of improvements being made
and new houses going up 10 different parts
ofths town, is a sufficient proofOf the en-
terpriso Of its citizens aud a certain order
Of future prosperity.
On Thursday afternoon the Tournament
took place, aud at night the coronation and
ball was held BY the young gentlemen Of
the town, which was one Of the most plea
ssut affairs it has ever been our good for
tune to witness.
At an early hour the ground was thrOnsed
with dense crowd Of spectators eager to
witness the skill and boldneSs Of the grace
Cul riders, nor we're they to be disaPpOint.
cd, for about Q o'clock gallant band Of
Knights, preceded by the celebrated Rob
iu.on Band of GallipoliS, made their aP-
pe,rance upon the field, and With their
pay costumes, their waving lances and
praDciug steeds, made a most interesting
and soul.stirring scene.
After a most animated and eloquent ad.
dress 10 the Knights from Mr.. Lewis
Carr, the riding commenced in earnest -
We will not attempt to do justice to the

Love AMI Beau'y"lo Miss Emma e. Timms
Of Buffalo, and although the assembly wa
crowded with an array lovelress, which
made our married friends sigh for thei
bachelor days, We venture to say that nt
one disputed the correctness Of the gsllan
knights judgment. The Queen accepted
and wore the crown throughout the even

the QUE exclamation that she was indeed
a Queen of Love and Beauty"
The knight Of the MOdOcs" crowned
the beautiful aud charming Miss Kat
Pitrat, Of Buffalo, as drst Maid Of Honor
whose petite figure aud graceful movement
in the mozy dance, made US wish to raise
the "Nlodoc's scalp" through sheer envy

wished for 10 better representative Of the
beauty Of our place.
Ga the floor We noticed COL Pike, o.
Pike City, whose iron furnaces, sbor
