The time allowed for each man 70 tilt
vss nine seconds and Mr.. T. @. Mottatt
had tine watch and announced the re-
sults in stsntoriau tones. AT the out,
set Knight before Last didn't get IN tilI
dav after tomorrow and his nag ran
ali over the grounds. The Knight OF
Ohio county lost all control
of his horse and it made a rush
for the crowds which hid behind the
eastern margin OF the track, scat.
tering them in every direction and
throwing one luckless granger into the
mud up to his eyes. The knight OF
Wbeeling's untamed Arabian stopped
suddenly and the luckless rider only
saved himself by coming in ahead by
several lengths by widely clutching the
welcome name of his charger. The
cha peau of the knight of Liberty
pecome unfastened from his head and
fioated gracefully back in the breezes,
while his handsome wig, m-de OF tow,
paraIyzed the galaxy OF beauty that
looked from above on the doughty
Knights below. We could fiji the paper
with an lug scenes and incidents oil
the tournament, but we refrain.
At the end OF the third tilt it was
found that there was tie between the
Knights of Ivanhoe and Carroll, and
another tilt was made resulting in an.
other tie. This was again repeated, and
at the third trial the Khight OF Carroll
came of the victor amid the plaudits OF
thousands. There was also tie among
the Knights OF Kentucky and West Vir-
einia and Knight before Last, and it was
decided in favor OF the first and last oil
the three named. Col. White then an
nounced that the Knight Of Carroll was
the winning Knight and had the privi-
lege OF crowning the Queen whom he
should select; also that "Some other
knight should crown the first Maid OF
Honor Knight OF Kentucky third
Maid. knight Before Last Second
Maid.
Mr.. John o. Pendleton then in a very
happy address complimented the
Knights upon their Knightly bearing.
and recited the history OF errantry in
all ages, and the glorious deeds
of story, after which Mr.. Burke
crowned Miss Annie Hess; Mr.. George
Dunlap, Miss Fannie Smyth; MIR.
Sweeney, Miss Laura Lukens, and Mr..
Hildreth, Miss Fannie Murine, with
beautiful wreaths which had been
prepared for the occasion. Besides the
wreaths the winning Knight gets a
saddleand bride, and the other Knights
other articles as premiums from the
association.
THE KNIGHTS BALL.
The complimentary ball given by the
Association to the Knights OF the
tournament took place at Franzheim
Hall. The Queen OF Love and Beauty,
with her court, were the exposures OF al
eyes. The gallant gentlemen assisted
| her and her attendants in welcoming
the two hundred invited guests, and,
after the two informal preliminaries OF a
reception, the dance commenced and ali
went merry as a marriage bell. Mayors
hand furnished the melody, and the
dancers "danc,ng in tune" until fair
Aurora kissed the eastern hill tops, con-
stantly required its services.

served to cheer and give enjoyment to
all those who witnessed it.
