Probably the best attended and the most
orderly picnic this season was that given yes
torday at Bcyer's Park by the Clan Ma Gael.

for throwing the sledge, being a close victory
over Mr.. DAILY. The s. prize for running
high jumps was won by Mr. Crane.
Mr.. James Ginnety was the successful cen
tcstant In the grand wrestling match, and
bore of the silver medal. The grand oot-ball
match, twenty-five on a side, greens and
whites. was won by the greens. About seven

twcnty-tvc-m minute speech by Captain Edward
O'Meaghcr Condor, who spoke upon the indie
structibility of the principle of freedom in the
Irish heart, aud presented the claims of Ire
land to the sympathy of the American people
in every legitimate effort that she may make
to gain her nationality. At the close Captain
Condor was vociferously applauded. Colonel

THE BOUNDARY STREET SEWER.
A Compromise Effected and the Laud Con-
lenned for "a Sewer.

Compromise Effected and the Laud Con-
denned for IL Sewer.
The jury Of inquisition, empannelled to con-
denim land for a public roadway through the
grounds of Andrew Kramer aud certain lots in
sherwood belonging to Mr.. Lewis Clephano,
resumed its session at the City Hall yesterday
morning. Messrs Riddle and Miller repre-
scnting the District, aud Mr.. l.. G.. Hine,
the property-holders, were present, also Mcssrs
Clephane and Kramer. Mr.. Miller said that
at the session on Saturday Mr.. Hine and him
self had entertained different opinions rs to
the law governing the condemnation, aud they
had agreed to enter into a stipulation that tue
District shall be held liable for all damages
growing out OF tho condemnation OF the land
either for roadway or a sewer With this
understanding testimony would be offered
bearing upon damages likely to arise from tho
constructing of the sewer.
Mr.. George II. Bailey was sworn IN behalf
Of the Distrct-IIe Is the computing engineer
for the District He had knowledge Of the
line of the proposed sewer lie then took the
plans and demonstrated to the jury the course
the sewer would run, aud what its height
would be vt various points: also what
amount of filling would be required to bring
tire ground up to the proposed elevation. lie
above the surface Of the ground. through the
land of Mr.. Kramer, was five feet nine inches,
aud on the lots of Mr.. Cephaue about seven
feet. He did not know when it was decided
| to open the roadway, as that was done by the
Commissioners without his knowledge. He
had supposed that the District owned the right
of way for the sewer until informed otherwise.
He had examined tho sewer since it was COM
| inenced aud there was no occasion to change
| the grade. 1t would require filling of five
feet in depth OIL the top of the sewer to pro-
tect it, thereby increasing the height of the
sewer above the ground that much. This
closed the testimony In the case, and after ar
| gumeuts by Messrs. Hine and Miller the jury
retired, and subsequently, returned verdict
| that
The amount of damages which will accrue by

1t is not known whether or not the property
