| The rush to see the flowers which will
be allowed to remain on the tables dur
ing the day, was almost as great as tina
upon the day succeeding the gran,
premium day. 1t is almost impossible
to do justice to the many beautiful de
signs exhibited. The first Of all the
beauties is the grand fancy grotto
wherein sits the Naiad Queen with I
guardian spirit upon either side. The
grotto is made to represent she'll Of thu
ocean, rising from smooth sheet o
water. beautifully represented by mirror
wherein is reflected all tho delicate
stripes and variegated clusters OF flowers
that, more beautiful than the stalactite
OF theyncks themselves, hang from th {
arch Of the cave. This beautiful piece
OF work, which of course, took the pre-
MUM for the best new design, was the
work of Mr.. Critchell. who now leads by
several lengths in the race for the grand
premium, the gold medal.
For the best fifteen pieces Of floral
work there were several entries, but on.
ly few put in an appearance at the ap.
pointed time. The Critchells carried off
both the first and second premiums, Of
tering some of the most beautiful de-
signs, especially In standing pieces
one a wreath surrounded by rich and
variegated autumn leaves was far supe-
rior to many pieces exhibited upon the
grand premium day. The BRIDES bou-
Duets were very fine, but there was a
sumeness about them that was not at
tractive, except upon near approach.
The awards and entries were as follows (:

increase in size every year. This Is ow-

slowly melts and runs down the mouG-

Last Saturday night about 1890 O'Clock, two
coIored men named Henry Williams and Robert
Dent made desperate attempt to take the life
of Charles Gross, cOlored, who is employed as
Waterman at Csrusi's stables, corner Of Thirteen
and-a-haIf and streets northwest. Adjoining
the stable is a brick buiIding, which had evil
IDENTIFY been an office and which is now used for a
low bawdy- house. The inmates were Georgiana
jackson, Sarah johnson and Annie Middleton,
all cOlered. and two Of them mstresses Of the as
EaiIants Gross was sitting in the house, accord
ing to his story, talking to the women, when the
other two men came in. Williams spoke TO him
and said, THAT puppy you kicked the other day
is dead" TO which Gross replied: Man or dog,
we all must die some day" Williams commenced
swearing, and told Gross his time was not far of,
and then went over 70 where Dent was sitting.
He put his hand behind that man and took some
thing out Of his pocket which Gross noticed to be
pistol. He jumped and seized Williams by the
wrist, and as he old so the pistol exploded, the
ball entering Gross neck close TO the Windpipe.
He then closed with Williams, and drawing his
mead down prevented him from further t-inS the
pistol. At this iuncture Robert Dent Jumped up
and gave Grsss a severe blow in the mouth and
pulled him away from Williams. The asssilsntS
then seeing that Gross was bleeding p.ofuseIy
left the house. The injured man immediately
proceeded to the Central station, holding the
opening IN the neck together with his fingers and
reported the circumstances. The ball was after.

Would-be murdereTs, and were soon after Joined
by Detectives Sargent and MeElfresh. Every
effort was made to secure their capture but It was
evident that they had left the precinct soon after
the shooting.
The women told very conflicting stories about
the sffaiT-at first denying having witnessed II at
all; but when Gross said they were In the room at
the time the shooting took place, then no two
could agree ss 70 the cause, when It was decided
TO arrest them, and they were provided with quar-
