YESTERDAY.
How fhe Fourth was Obsc, we'd I'm
Nashville

There was but little boisterouShess about
the manner in which s'the day we cele-
brate" was observed by the residents of
Nashville yesterday. Business houses
were closed generally, and thousands of our
citizens betook themselves to ihe woods.
The picnic given for the benefit of
ST. MARY's ORPHAN ASYLUM
was attended by about fifteen hundred
people, and proved very pleasant affair.
Among those present was Col. Dan Madi-
gan, of the Western Get, published at st.
Louis. Trains begarI conveying the pic
nicker's to Bosley's Springs at 8 A. NJ, and
ran every half hour until o'clock in the
afternoon. Good order prevailed through
out the entire dsy.
A party Of Cur young people consisting
of Nj. J. A. Duling, Miss Matte Shafer,
Ed. buchanan, Miss Jennie Culbert, An
drew Hargrave, Miss Mary Robinson, a. j.
I5ennie and Miss Katie Culbert, enjoyed a
very pleasant afternoon yesterday at Gen.
Hardingis. They desire to return thanks
to that gentleman for his generous hos
pitality.
THE RACES
in the afternoon were well attended, and
passed off satisfactorily. The following
mules were entered for the first race: Bad
Medicine, Good Society, Mrs. Tilton,
Wanderer, Nipper and Cedar Snag. The
race was wonb by Bad Medicine.
The second race, half mile heats, was
won by Fletch Horns Jonah, the addition
al entries being Widener's s. e. Joe, Tay-
lor's g. g. Harry, and Sam Blacks g. z.
Sam Patterson.
For the third race, Widener entered
Country Boy, Fulcher entered Hattie
Brown and Black entered Whisky. The
race was mile heats, best three in FIVE, won
by Whisky.
About two thousand
COL.oRED PEOPLE
went out on the Northwestern road to the
Archie Cheatham place, two miles beyond
BOsley's springs, and passed very pleas
ant day. No liquor was sold the ground,
aud the best of order was preserved. All
the picnickers reached home safely in good
time last night, without accident.
THE STREET PARADE
made by the troops stationed at Ash Bar
racks, in the evening, attracted great atten-
ton and passed off successfully, the soldiers
showing excellent discipline and pro-
nciency in drill.
There was genuine gala time at the
EXPOSITION BUILDING,
at night, opening with a brilliant display
of fireworks that the multitude witnessed
with all the admiration possible with the
thermometer above ninety, and led through
out by Capt. Gibson's new band. The
spacious halls gradually filled with acrowd
that drifted hither and thither, pulsating
in harmony with the really excellent mu-
sic, or rushing into the galleries, as
the laughable contests for the silver cups
were announced. The programme was
carried out, to the great satisfaction of the
audience. Master Tom Byrd carried off
the first cup in the bag race.
The concert was thoroughly enjoyable,
and promises to be the initiation Of series
of pleasant occasions for the stay-at-homes
these sultry days. Capt. Gibson deserves
the hearty support of the people, because
he gives real compensation for their atten-
dance and money.
