from tho north, the south, the east, and
the west and some Of them came upon
us 80 suddenly that wo knew not from
whence they came, and II would have relieved
anxiety II they had known whittier they were go
ing. Some were arrayed in rags,
SOME IN TAGS, AND SOME IN VELVET GOWNS;
and the peculiar blending of the color Of the head
gear and dresses Of the country lads and lassies-
which comprised all the colors Of the rainbow
afforded much food for criticism on the part OF
the city girls, Such exclamations as "oh, that
bonnet. aud that red tlcl" "Say, don't you wish
YOU had yellow sash and those small-sized feetg'
why, here comes Maria with Tom just see how
she twists her head one side as IL no one could
raise a beau but heri" were frequently heard.
Another peculiar costume was that Of an old gem

resemblance to Benjamin Franklin. Some Of the
boys wore home-spuu broechcs with large stripes
down the sides. Indeed, the shifting crowd on the

ture of the Grove prior to that of yesterday Not
withstandng the large concourse of people who
assembled here OIL the Sabbath, the day was passed
without single accident, and good order was
maintained throughout the entire day. AT times
the dust nlong the roads leading from the station
to the Grove was sitting but in the encampment
there was little no dust, owing to the fact that
the committee In charge OF the grounds, with
good deal of fotcthougbt. had all the avenues
plcntiuly besprinkled with straw, and at even
ing, MS the sun was slowly but surely sinking in
the west, could be seen golden haze encirclng
the round. which was at once attributed to the
dust which had been set aaoat by the
pArTERING OF THE MANY FEET
rushing to and fro. The preaching at halfpast
seven o'clock Sunday evening was largely at
tended filling all the seats in the tabernacle, and
the seats on the outside were occupied by the col
ored folks, most Of whom are employed by the In
mates Of the tents aud cottages. Amer singing
