sL George Society Picnic.
The st. George society yesterday gave
its fourth annual picnic at James's park.
Vbe attendance in the middle Of the day
was slim, but in the afternoon late the
crowd commenced gathering, and by
dark tie grounds were filled with hun
dreds of visitors. In the afternoon dif-
ferent games were INDUCED IN, and the
endowment was unbOunded. The hurdle
race of the asses, SIS well as the Jerusa-
lem pony race, caused every one to roar
with laughter. In addition to the above
amusements, the visitors were enter
tanned with foOt-racing and ssck-racing,
the climbing Of the greasy pole, ducking
for oranges, and QUOT match for a fine
hat. The dancing was continued until
3 late hour last night, and even then the
participants were 10th to leave, as they
enjoyed themselves so much.
Mrs. JarIey's wax-wOrks.
The renowned Mrs. Jarley has been
heard from by telegraph. She will be
here to-day, and viii bring with her the
last consignment OF wax figures. Those
now here and which We had the pleasure
Of seeing on the stage Of the Theater
last night, made "big show" and if to
be taken as a promise Of those TO come,
we feel safe in asserting, will secure for
the farley wax-works great ecLdt, and
cause them to be remembered as in some
respects superior to any attempt ever
made in the legitimate show line here.
Some OF the "figers" seemed to be in
stinct with life, and so beautiful as to
almost rival "nRtur." We saw more
than one for which we could ourselves
cheerfully find permanent pedestal, so
lovely and real did they look, and so
attractive. They represent all sorts of
persOaages, some who existed and some
who are but the coinage of the poets
fancy, but they are all works Of art, COS
TUNED accurately aud painted to simu-
late life itself. The Thester will be
thoroughly ventilated for the occasion,
and corps Of gentlemen ushers," as
they put 10 court circles, will attend to
wait upon those who may be so fortunate
As 20 be numbered among the favored
audiences.

delight sll who hear il. OF the pleas
ure and attractions Of the italian licnic
to-day il is needless to speak at length.
All former picnics by this society have
been unusually delightful, and have
been conducted in a manner satisfactory
TO the most critical. The most extern
sive preparations have been made for
to-day's entertainment, which, in mag
uitude and character will far excel any
former one. The committee will have a
floor on the dancing ring so that
this feature will be all the more
relished by those who participate. The
best music Of the city has been engaged,
and from the efforts Of the enterprising
gentlemen who constitute the different
committees, we have assurance that this
occasion will be one Of the grandest ever
afforded our citizens. OF course there
will be a very large attendance. The
