APPEARANCE or TIIE A8sHNnLAaR-
The spcctHcle presented N the Hall 81 Tho
ludges to-day was ata excellent one. Tnken as
bDdy, they are fine lot Of men tliat gathered
there for their first meeting on the Centennial
Grounds; aud We may tn congratulated on
Tie good, selection TINT has been made.
Certainly there are names OIL the list that might
hardly peg Of complaint on which to hang the
hat of 3 colnplalner. There WAS good srrink-
ling Of venerable ulon, with gray hnr Or with
.kating-rlnfss and oak-opcnings on ti'eir heads
but mingled With them thcr9 wa also goo.ll
sprink!ng Of vigorous men who llavo not passed
lhr prime Of litc, n,sl arc able to undergo all
LAc fatigue Incident to tho work bcfnre them:
standing around to do, ind 1t needs able
hiifGd Man to do It. No octoRcnnr1an WILL he
likely to climb through the boilers Of 1oconlo-
liycs or at on tho lids Of patent soli1rkett!es;
ly0ung and vigorous intellect ls required foT
tliia sort Of business, and, wllcro 1t Is to he
dunu for the purpose of arriving at IN honest
olinlutl, We must lnok to thu younger Mril:
Iho American Judges wste y, ssnted to thg right
on the left both divisions VI the asbsntulage
were well to look upon; don't believe
that any Board Of Aldermen, or even
State Legislature, ever looked better, And |
have seen many such asaatnblaEes Of Wisdom
that looked = grrat deal worse.
