The shoot over, the great bulk Of the
people left the park for Washington avenue
in the vicinity Of the brewery, where, it was
announced, the tournament Of the fire com
panies would take place. In the contest
between the large engines, the Roughs and
Deltas alone participated. The former
were victorious, beating their opponents
two feet eleven inches-t throwing a stream
1865 feet five inches. For the smaller class
Of engines the Roughs and Arabs were en-
tered, and in this contest likewise the
Roughs were the winners, throwing / II feet
seven inches, beating the Arabs about two
feet. OF course they were elated over the
result Of the tourney, and, Of course, the
vanquished were correspondingly de-
pressed; but this feeling on the
part Of the latter lasted only q
few moments They have taken fresh
courage unto themselves, and the Roughs
will have to look we'll to their laurels.

THE FOURTH.
AN IMMENSE THRONG AT THE
PARK DURING THE DAY AND
NIGHT.

GRAND SUCCESS OF THE CELEBRATION IN
DER THE AUSPICES OF THE X. NJ. X. c.
THE TOURNAMENT OF THE FIRE CoMrA-
NIRs--sHooTING CONTEST, RACES, ETC.
The Fourth clearly demonstrated the fact
that when Cairo presents the proper at
fractions it can always command a throng
of visitors. The estimate as to the number
of strangers in the city vary from twenty
five hundred to four thousand, but some OF
our railroad officials, whose means of infor-
nation are excellent, say it can safely be
put down at thirty-fve hundred.
The procession made an excellent show
ing. Crowds Of people watched it along
the line Of march, and the verdict was
unanimous that it was arranged with care
and faithfully carried out rs to details, and
was in all respects what the Knights prom
iscd to make it--a grand parade, Where
all appeared 50 well it would be invidious
to make distinctions.
AT THE PARK.
Shortly after noon the people began to
wend their way to the park on foot and in
all manner of conveyances, and by two
o'clock at least fifteen hundred people were
on the grounds. The oratorical exercises
were omitted, for the reason, probably, that
the gentlemen announced to speak were alb
sent from the city, Miss Luella Fraser
read the Declaration of Independence, after
which the crowd separated to enjoy
themselves according to their incinations.
The younger portion of the gathering
sought the dancing pavilion, where a color
ed band furnished those partial to that kind
of amusement with good music. To the
children, the Flying Dutchman" seemed
to afford infinite pleasure, while the staid
and elderly folks found recreation in sha-
dy spots. 1t was a gratifying feature of
the days celebration that in somewhat
extended observation during the day and
night not one case of drunken, boisterous
or disorderly conduct was seen on the
grounds.
THE RACES.
This part Of the days programme was so
seriously intertered with by the heavy rains
which had fallen at intervals during the
two or three days preceding
the Fourth that it was entirely
abandoned. Several races, however, were
made up among the lovers of this sport,
and half-mile dash between the Kynaston
horse and Kentucky horse was an ex-
citing and well contested race. They came
up the stretch in good style. Kynaston
leading the Kentucky horse about nine feet
as he passed the judges stand. Besides
this there were two scrub races, between
ponies, which made up in fun what they
lacked in pretensions to speed and bottom.
THE SHOOTING CONTEST,
The gentlemen engaged in this trial of
craftsmanship selected the pleasantest
spot on the grounds for their meeting place,
and crowds of people focked
thither and remained until the close
of the sport The three contestants who
broke ten balls out of ten, divided the first
prize between them. Those who tied on
nine balls out of ten, divided the second
prize. Likewise the contestants who broke
eight, seven, six and five balls each. There
was no shooting off, to see who would
come out ahead of all The score below
shows how the contest closed.

which they would do we'll to consider. II
the owners of the property in question have
been unable, by prudent attention,
to make it pay 10 per cent, how
can nonresident owners obtain from
it that rate? AS a plain business PROPOSE
ton it is manifestly impracticable. 1t does
not commend itself to common sense views
of business, and business men and capitalists
unless their greed obscures their judg
ment will conclude that if a lower rate of
interest will secure prompt payment their
welfare will be better subserved than by
exacting high rate of interest, ultimating
in the transfer of their property to their
ownership. Referring again to the assumed
Indebtedness of the states mentioned, It
might be possible for the debtors to pay
seven per cent, or $l2,600000 annu-
ally; when 10 per cent, or $4,000, 600,
would be an impossibility, and even the low
rate mentioned is fully three per cent above
the admitted average increase of wealth in the
country. But as seven per cent. could be paid,
while 10 per cent. as a rule is an impossible
ity, we conclude that capitalists would con-
suit their financial well-being by reducing
the rate. But the subject has still wider sig
nificance, for we assume that whatever
may be the desire of capitalists to
realize large dividends they are not all
Shylocks, and do not desire to impoYer-
ish those who employ their capital
in legitimate enterprises. By exacting
10 per cent, however, they are pursuing
policy that directly tends to that result.
Business men throughout the west find their
property shrinking in value, the result of
policy they have opposed. Unable to apply
the needed remedy they are. compelled to
see their fortunes disappear and their bust
ness paralyzed. Struggling against adverse
influences that they can not control they
find that 10 per cent. interest is largely in
excess of what they can pay and go on. To
reduce the rate is therefore not only the
part of wisdom, but a necessity from which
there is no escape but in bankruptcy. We
believe that prudent agitation of this vital
question would attract the attention of
capitalists, and result in such notifications
as would prove of incalcuable value to both
the creditor and the debtor.

10 cases of infant1cide. Sixty-one men COM

The cry of ''hard times" continues to come
from England. In its survey of the indus
trial situation the Labor News records dis
content and strife in several places. In
Northumberland, it says, the colliery me-
chanics have accepted reduction in wages,
and throughout the district of the northern
board of arbitration the iron workers wages
are likely to be reconsidered at an early
date. The textile trades are generally de.
pressed, and at Rochdale some mills are on
short time. In the Forest of Dean and South
Wales great distress still prevails. and
measures have been taken for its relief. At
Sheffield large number of puddlers and
shinglers have received notice of reduction,
and under present circumstances it Is likely
to be accepted. In the building trades sew
eral important strikes still continue, and
labor is continually coming and going on
the works affected At Stafford the boot and
shoe trade Is especially slack, and at Brim-
ingham many of the staple industries are but
indiiferently employed.

ing two benevolent and enterprisi1g ladies
in her cause. Their plan was as follows: To
call at many of the offices in the city and
ask that all stamps on letters received
might be saved. The merchants and bankers
agreed to accommodate them. The enthusi-
asm with which this idea was received was
wonderful. Children began to watch for
letters that came to their houses with almost
as much impatience as any lover watches for

expressed her gratitude TO the kind friends

OPEN WINTER.
Its Effect Upon Trade.
New York Sun.l


In the chief cities of the Atlantic coast
retail trade has been greatly stimulated by
the recent charming weather. In the west
rains have made the country roads impassa-
bic and paralyzed traffic and until cold
weather freezes the earth so that farmers
may haul their products to the railroads and
take supplies home, no amelioratlon in the
dulness of western business can be looked
for
Although an unusually large proportion
of the grain crop of 1877 is still in first hands,
the deliveries of wheat at the Atlantic sea-
board ports from September l to December
% inclusive, were unprecedentedly great
reaching 80, AS, 107 bushels, against Is, 54S,-
942 for the corresponding period in 1876
The visible quantity of wheat and corn in
store on the last named date was as follows:
Wheat, bu. Corn; bu.
New Nork......................2 669,745 l,3l7,262
Baltimore. 459,545 S9,94
Bnlladelpnla .......-........-..- lOO,OJO 7SS,O0O
Boston oo,Sof I'D al
To this supply, available for immediate
export, must be added $50, 600 bushels of
wheat and s., 600 bushels of corn afioat in
New York harbor.
Owing to the mud blockade in the north
western states, the railroads are bringing to
the east very little western produce, and if
an active export trade should spring up, and
the western roads not freeze, the supply of
wheat and corn on the Atlantic seaboard
might soon be exhausted. But OF this there
heed be no fear.
The total visible supply of wheat and corn,
comprising the stocks in granary at the prin-
cipal points OF accumulation at lake and sea-
baord ports. and in transit on the lakes, on
the New York canals, and by rail, on the
22d of December was. of wheat, 10540, All
bushels; and of corn, 5,952, 76S bushels. For
the week ending December %. the cIeaTances
OF grain from New York..fOr Europe were o
wheat, 455, 37S bushels; and OF corn, 327, 6l9
bushels
With the freezing of the western roads 10
sufficient depth to furnish solid founda-
ton for ordinary wagon transportation,
millions of dollars worth of western grain
and other marketable produce will be rushed
into the market.
Open weather throughout the winter
would ruin western and eastern business
interests. January and February are likely
to be unusually active months in all
branches of western trade. and life in the
west will make lively times for eastern job
bers and manufacturers.
New York has been enjoying weather that
Rome and Naples might envy. Our streets
and shops have been crowded all day long.
Building is active up town, the probable
completion of the rapid transit roads by
spring having already given rise to many
building projects that viii keep the wheels
of business in motion throughout the win
ter.
Altogether, the prospect is encouraging.
