Gov. Chamberlain argued the Whitaker case last week and the Judge Advocate clo ses early this week. The able ex-Governor made a strong effort to explode the expert testimony on which the case really rests against Whitaker. He claims that so long as the experts did not know who wrote the papers submitted ts them they were divided. When they did know, they were unanimous against Whitaker. Experts summoned by Whitaker hold that the ''note of warning" was not written by him. We should not be surprised if the Court Martial found in Whittsker's favor. s
 The delivery of an oration by Fred Doug lass at Harper's Ferry, last week, on John Brown, is an indication of the marvellous change few years have made in public opin- ion. On the platform was Mir.

Many imagine that the tendency we So of ten notice in the Irishman in America to get riotous when he drinks is chiefly due to the unusual opportunities offered him among us for drunkenness.

The afternoon was taken up with

the premium list, the result to be an

The sky again became overcast, and an
occasional drop of rain warned the

improbable, so that by half-past four
very few remained within the enclosure.

at three o'clock, but time dragged along
until five, when it was finally called.
THE TRACK
was very muddy, heavy, and in some
places badly cut up, although the grand
parade announced for one o'clock had
been postponed until to-day, so as to
improve it. Eight horses were entered,
the purse of fifty dollars to be divided
as follows: twenty dollars to first, fifteen
to second, ten to third and five
to number four. The following is

order in which they came in

worse. At the end of the second heat
he drove back to the judges stand just
as the others were coming away, and
nearly succeeded in spearing Black
Cloud and driver with his sulky shaft,
causing Cloud to run up against the
fence, upsetting the rider. He was
sharply Teprimanded by one of the
judges, who remarked, "He's no driver
and ought to be heaved over the fence"
THIRD DAY.
The morning opened gloomy and low
ering, with fOggy, heavy atmosphere
that gave promise of wet, disagree
able day. The first train to the grounds,
leaving the depot few minutes past 8
o'clock, was reasonably well filled. At
o'clock the sun came out and the day
now promises to be all that can be de-
sired. At present writing the stream of
visitors is continuous and the crowd is
rapidly swelling. Carriages are filling
up the grounds, and by afternoon the
attendance will be fully up to any day
of last year.
FLORAL HALL
Is now almost completed and the mer-
chants have arranged their merchandise
in its most tempting style. The inside
of the hall is handsomely draped with
long lines of flag streamers and fes-
toons of national bunting. Between
the two stairways leading up stairs, is
placed a very large crayon portrait of
the late President Garfield, the frame of
which is over thirteen feet high. 1t
is the same picture that was drawn at
the Aultman works some days
ago. Entering the hall from

we came first to Messrs. Kuhns &
