Egg Rolling.

This custom among the boys and girls has be-
come universal in this city, and Easter Monday is
anticipated among the little folks as day that
will bring them hours Of play and innocent de-
light. The shower of yesterday morning had the
effect of dampening the grass somewhat marring
the sport until toward noon, when the turf was in
condition for the children to amuse themselves to
their hearts content. As was to be expected, the
Capitol grounds were thronged with lads and
lassies, aye, and many older heads congregated
TO witness the pranks and capers Of the boys and
girls in rolling the eggs from the crest Of the hill
TO the lawn below. II was thought at one time
in the day that there were at least five thousand
persons on the ground witnessing the fun made
by the children. For short time the pleasure
was somewhat interfered with by number Of
overgrown boys catching the eggs as they
tumbled down the hillside and making away with
them. This procedure was summarily stopped by
the authorities and for the balance Of the day the
sport proceeded without interruption. At the
Presidents grounds and other convenient places
the children assembled and amused themselves in
this innocent and harmless manner.
