pcctatons The number on the grounds
were variously estimated from five to
twelve hundred.

Arrived at the depot the tain soon ar
rived bringing about thirty Knights head
ed by the Queen City Cornct Band, and
marshaed by Thomas Cook Hughey, Esq.
With this accession, the line now presented
an imposing appearance. The great ma

all carried themselves like valiant Knights.

cry to Main, thence to Broadway, thence
! to F'rost's Avenue, to Water street, return
ing to MAN, thence TO and along an alley
leading to the grounds.
At the grounds Dr. c. III. Getzcndanner
in few well chosen remarks welcomed
the visiting Knights after which the ranks
were broken to allow all to seek the pleas
ures which the occasion afforded.
With regard to the dinner we cannot do
better ehan copy from the Ncrs:
Dinner was announced at halfpast
twelve, and the Knights, having reformed,
marched to the table upon which the ladies
had well arranged a tempting array of sub
stantials and drlicacies, which the long
march of the morning had given the
brotherhood participating sharp appetite
Tor That this was fully satisfied was plainly
evident from the brave attack made upon
the dinner by the valiant knights; and
it was the general expression of the Wis
itorS that it was the best and most hount-
ful dinner they had ever seen served on
such an occasion. 1t was feast fit for a
king. The supply was SO large that had
twice OF more the number of Knights been
present they would have been amply pro-
Vidcd for; and the ladies ot fr"sthurg
ccrtai. ly merit special mention for tie lib
c:ali1y manifested and taste displayed,
Dinner over, addresses were delivered by
James Whitehousc, Esq, OF Baltimore,
Grand Keeper of RccorGs and Seal of
Maryland, Rev. $. NJ. Afford and Thomas
Cook IIughcy, Esq, of Cumberland. We
are sorry our lack of time precludcs the
publication Of Il synopsis Of each address,
but suffice it to shy, they were good. Mr.
lIughcy put the audience in excellent
humor with his wittic;sms and his tribute
to the ladies WAS one Of the finest passages
we have heard in a long time.
