Brief Mention.
Correspondence OF the Register.
PITTSBURGH, Msy 81.
Yesterday was misersbiy wet and
muddy, and countless thousands who had
planned for the day were sorely dissp-
pointed. Besides the members of the
Grand Army and the friends of deceased
soldiers, there wss vast number Of
pleasure seekers in the rising generation
whose thoughts dwelt only upon excur-
sions, groves and the bewildering waltz.
But the rain abbreviated most pro-
grsmmes. the Grand Army only fully
carving out the original intention As
/ it was too wet for outdoor services, ex-
cept the planting of flowers, convenient
halls were engaged for speeches and sing
| ing. In the afternoon the various posts
of the G. A. K. participated in 3 parade
through the principal streets In the
evening at the City Hsll, Judge f. Il.
Collier, Gen. j. X. Moorehesd, and Gen.
a. c. Voris, of Akron, o., made excel
lent speeches.
THE HUNGRY DOCTORS.
The State Medical Association Is still
with Us. 1t was given 3 reception and
banquet las. evening by the Allegheny
County Society, q mention Of which l
made in my last. This morning
the members took special train for the
DxmOnt insane asylum, about eight
miles down the Ono, and grand
dinner is 10 be served up, with sdyspeptia
provoking menu but which will be
safely carried away nevertheless.
THE "DIsoRGANIzED" ALLEGHENIEs.
Our base ball club arrived home after
the transcendently great trip over the
country hunting balls tor divers clubs.
There was no brass band and loud
mouthed delegation on hand to receive
them. Only brilliantly designed and
artistica.iy executed leather media. await
ed them. They advertised their "re-
organized" nine TO play yesterday with
the Forest City club, OF Cleveland.
The result, TO l in favor the former,
shows that the "disorganized" club Of
abroad was truly "reorgsnized" rooster
on its own dunghiIl. The result sur
prises every body who takes interest in
ball matters, and if another victory
should le scored by the ALI glenn @ to-
day with the same cub, we shall begin
to think we have a base ball club, We
don't bet much, however.
A.o.H.
Yesterday afternoon snd evening the
State and Allegheny County Conven-
tiOns of the Ancient Order Of Hiber-
mans met in Emerald Hall, just next
door to the Third Presbyterian Church,
where the Presbyterian General Assem-
bly met. No business OF general impor-
tance was transacted except that pro-
vision was made for a revision Of the by
laws, which, owing to "Molly Msguiro"
troubles, assumes some importance.
SPORTING.
Rarus, the great trotter, is at Friend.
ship Driving Park, and trots this after
nool. A large turnout is going to wit
ness the performance.
Yesterday afternoon, the BlSckmore
boat club offered q prize for a sing scull
race, and there were two entries, j. Mes
keI, of the Daniels club, and Patrick
Powers, OF the Pat Luther club. Mes
kcll louled on raft and caught duck.
His opponent rowed leisurely over the
course and raked IN the sCsds.

THE SLIDING SCALE.
ILis now q matter of Importance 70
| know the minds Of the manufacturers
| relative TO signing the contract for the
| boilers sliding scale. At the meeting OF
/ the Western Iron Association on w ed
/ nesdav, It was agreed 10 allow each manu-
| iacturer to follow his own COnyic.
!ions. So tar none have signed; but then
/ it is only a question Of little
time. The manufacturers don't want 10
appear too willing. While some would
/ gladly take advantage of u difference on
this question and stop for season, others
are forced 70 work in order 10 I'LL de-
mands. All their contracts are based
upon the sliding scale, and Of course
they can afford the price as well now as
before, so they viii sign. This will nat
uraIly have the effect OF compelling
others TO come down with their auto
| graphs. 1t Is even said that some OF the
zig and strong manufacturers would cJn.
uuue the scale even al general loss, in
order TO crowd the weak TO the wall
Those who sre weak will not make il
mani!esl by refusing to continue the con,
test, srd will prefer going down, If a.
all. with co.ors flying, and every man s.
his gun. Still, It Is part Of the intention
OF some manufacturers 10 get the boilers
TO compromise upon some price, and
Of course, they will not do it. Their,
I will be seme grumbIing, some stopping
some demanding, some refusing, some
. signing, and the question will be sheLVed
for another year.
