BUFFALO, n. Y, July lS-The Wheelin
visitors have now been here two days, AMI
are now getting used to drinking clear wa
4er breathing lake bretzes, sleeping Of
cots and paying fifteen cents for shave
Most Of them like Buffalo, all are delight
ed with the sgnEerfest, and l have no
heardoi any ones getting homesick yet.
Buffalo is peculiar city. 1t Is a larg
city with many fine buildings, and what
ever It's normal condition may be just nov
1t is full Of bustllng activity. Yet in man!
respects Wheeling can give 1t points ant
beat it. A barber shop like that in th,
Mcclure House or Washington Hall woulo
dumbtound tbe community. The boss bar
Der here couldn't keep job Of brush BOY
there. And though the Mansion Hous,
is one OF the principal hotels here and hal
i've stories, 1t never had an elevator unit
now, and it Is running in an unfinished
condition now. ! found the chamber
maids amusing themselves this morning BY
carrying water up in the elevator. Tney
voted it great labOr.sayer. The poor thing
need it, for they have to cairya all the watel
used in the rooms up from the first floor.
There is one system in vogue that Capt.
Bennett ought TO adopt. Tney have abou
$50 police, aud at night they patrol the city
Ill squads Of ten, each in charge OF Ser
geaut,
A decent cigar can't be bought here for 8
nickel. Two oior-A.qu4rser cigars are about
as good as Wheeling fse-cenlers.
My friend Leidl Ii :nuch diEgusted tc
find that Buffalo has no GeImau morning
paper, and not very good evening ones.
A majority OF the English papers are also
evening ones. Altogether, however, ths
impressions Of q stranger are favorable.
PROM THE SUNNY SOUTHLAND.
The two Wheeling bands continue tt
win many compliments. Last evening
Kramer was playing on Broadway, and {
lady asked her escort wha. band it was
''rhe ST. Louis Knights Templar's" sale
be. "Oh, no. said another member o
the party, 1.-The St. LOUIS band can't play
that WELL" This compliment sounds bet.
ter when you haven't heard the st. Louis
band play. The Opera House band played
q medley OF national airs and popular
Southern songs yesterday. Alter it was uvel
u gentleman living near said to DR.. Schnepf
Il want thai baud to come over TO my
place tomorrow and play Dixie neyel
heard better brass music than they make. y
The Wheeling delegation is looked on as a
band OF fiery Southerners. 0ne Of the pa
pers laments that but one Southern city is
represented at the Fest. Ssme prominent
friends Of Governor Cleveland, who is at
his home here, and made an address al
the opening concert, talked among them
selves OF getting one OF the Wheeling bands
10 serenXde the Governor, thinking such d
would have peculiar signid-
cauce, coming IRON Southern band, but
30 far as have heard they have preferred
no such request
SOME IEcIDESTs.
The business council Of the sepgerbund
met this morning. l: was expected thai
some action would be taken In reference tc
.he dispute as TO the date OF organization o.
he M@anOrchor Of Wheeling, but the mat
Ter did not come up. The next Slpugeriest
will be held ut Milwaukee in 1855. Mil
waukee declined TO take the r, sp0nsibility
but the ms sjOrity Of the members insisted
hat TO Milwaukee it must go, and TO Mil.
waukee it went. The delegates from that
city accepted under protest. St. Louis
was named, but also said No, thank you u
and as she has had the Fest recently, the
council excused her.
There was prospect Of trouble in the
camp yesterday, but 1t was all smoothed
over. Prof Federlein, who visited Wheel
pg to inspect the societies, was director OF
ast nights concert. Madame Marie Schell.
Graham, the prima donna, and Madame
bOema, both positively refused TO sing il he
directed the concerts and did not appear
1t rehearsal yesterday. Prof. Federlein
was equally positive in his resolution to
conduct. Finally the ladies' gave in, and
.nen the professor requested DR.. Damrosch
o direct one OF their solos, and Prot. Misch-
zof the other, which these gentlemen did.
The seagerfast proper, closed tonight.
Since the first evening the audiences have
been as large as the vast hall can hold, and
he applause reminds ME Of that alta pub.
ic school commencement at Wheeling.
Every applauds everything. Every.
hing deserves applause, however, and it ia
lsrd 10 grade the haud.Clapping according
o the merit OF the performances.
The choruses are simply marvellous in
he perfection OF their time, and no one
Sho has not heard chorus Of 1000 trained
male voices sing some one OF the grand
works OF the German composers, can con.
,eive Of the sea OF harmony which pours
,yer the audience. When Que Of the sole.
SITS is singing, the sound ripples in waves
o the remote corners OF the building; but
when the chorus appears the music fills the
whole place.
THE WIND UP.
Tomorrow all the societies, each headed
W its own band, will join in the process.
ion through the principal streets Of the
:ty, and then to the Fest picnic. The
procession is expected to surpass anything
n the same line ever seen here. The
Hheelingr delegation is anticipating the
went with some eagerne:s. They are
,roud OF their bands, and want to give the
General public an opportunity Of compAr-
ng their music with that OF bands from
arger cities The only particular in which
,ur societies do not show to advantage is
heir marching. They do not get enough
Practice in this respect.
Day after tomorrow nine special trains,
m three roads, will take the visitors to
Niagara Falls, where all the objects Of in
crest will be duly gszed at. On this occa'
