The Buffalo EIpresS on Thursday
printed what it took to be sensation that
would startle the whole State Of New
York, and, perhaps, the entire country.
Boiled down. the sensation was this: The
Speaker Of the New York Assembly, the
Clerk Of the Assembly and the Clerk of
the Senate met in Buffalo on last Satur-
day. and, it is alleged, had a conference
with the Chairman Of the Republican
state Committee respecting the selection
Of delegates 70 Chicago. The Express is
certain that the three men were in Buffalo,
but is not certain that they had confer
ence with any one. They avoided regis
tering. and tried to keep their presence in
the city secret. The conclusion drawn
from these few facts Is that there is a
movement on foot to fix up a delegation
10 Chicago for Arthur.

Extracts from the recent book written
by Queen Victoria show her to be lacking

About all that can be said Of her is that

a pity that her children or ministerial
advisers did not suppress the publication

A RETROSPECT OF THE FAIR.
A Tourney of the Modern Knights, and
a Glimpse of the Exhibits.

CorresD0ndence If The Morning Nelss.
JACKSONVILLE, FLA, Feb. 14.-Thurs-
day of fair week has always attracted
the largest attendance, and to-day the
throng was enormous. Three steamers
were engaged from an early to late
hour in conveying visitors TO and from
the grounds, aud 5000 people were prob
ably present. All the hacks, omnibuses
and wagons We're kept busy, while the
street railway reaped large harvest.
At 10 O'Clock the military companies,
composed OF the Clay County Guards, the
Tallahassee Cadets. Metropolitan Light
Infantry, Jacksonville Light Infantry and
Jacksonville Artillery. were set in mo-
ton. and proceeded to the fair. where a
competitive drill was held. Much to
general regret, the Cadets were ruled out
by the judges, who held that they were
not entitled to contest in consequence Of
the drill being part OF their daily duties,
thus giving them an advantage. The
struggle resulted in favor Of the Metropol-
itans, consisting of youngsters from Is to
% years. who are much elated over their
victory. The Clay Guards, from Green Cove
carried off the second honor.
TWELVE KNIGHTS COUCHED LANCEs
in the tournament, six constituting the
Jacksonville club and six the Enterprise
club. Two courses were made this morn
ing, the first having been run yesterday
The grand stand was filled with specta-
tors of the amusement. The visiting club
proved the yictOrs after an exciting con-
test, making twenty-eight rings to TWEEN
ty-twO obtained by their antagonists
Only one knight, Mr.. SummertOn, of En-
terprise, carried of the three rings in one
course.
There were two or three races after
wards by horses of no special note
Several light showers occurred during
the day, forcing the people to take shelter
in the main building, which was ample
enough for the emergency.
The good behavior and good humor of
the crowd has been remarkable through
out the week, there having been very few
instances of drunkenness or disorderly
conduct.
A few pickpockets were present, and

THE CROWD IN THE CITY.

Rarely, il ever, has Jacksonville been
more crowded with visitors than at
present. All of the hotels and board
ing houses are overlooking with
guests, and how they are provided
Tor is a mystery. 1t is far easier
cheaper and more convenient to get to our
CITY than formerly. Several remote pOr-
tions Of the State have been reached by
railroads within the past year, and the
facilities for travel have been largely in
creased. In addition to those from other
States. Florida is largely represented by
visitors from many of the distant counties.
Besides the general attractions of the
annual State Fair various associations
have seized the opportunity Of holding
their meetings during the week. Among
these are the Florida Agricultural. the
Fruit Growers and the EXpressmen's
Aid Associations. The Trustees of the
State Agricultural College, the members
of the State Press and the Grand Lodge
Of colored Good Templars have all held
meetings. These bodies have all contrib
uted to swell the sum total of visitors to
an unusual extent. The general person
mel of our guests is also noticeable. 1t is
seldom that you would encounter more
solid, substantial class Of persons any
where.
Notwithstanding the severity Of the
winter the tables in the State Fair show a
remarkably fine display of fruits and
flowers. There is also a creditable show
of vegetables. These articles-fruits,
flowers and yegetables-are the main fea-
lures of the exhibition and constitute the
chief attractions to parties from the
North and West. They gather delighted
" around the tempting display and ply
those in charge with numerous questions.
They are brought into contact directly
with the producers and endeavor to OBJ
tain all the information possible.

of the above articles has been forwarded
from HillsbOrough county, and the enter
prise of her people will reap a rich re-
