BY 10 o'clock the

seemed to have deserted their homes

THE CROWD WAS UNPRECEDENTED
even in this city, accustomed to re-

throng, yet it was a good-Hatured
crowd and evidently disposed to do

for instance. when an unhappy look

A LARGE CROWD GATHERED AROUND

and another equally large one around
the entrance TO the Arlington hotel
an early hour this morning, for the
purpose Of obtaiuing a view of the
president and president elect as they
took the places assigned to them in
the line, Both men rigidly denied
themselves to visitors during the
morning. The members of the gen

the Arlington hotel before 10 o'clock,
and placed their services at the dis

President Arthur breakfasted with
his family at the White House about

elect Hendricks, in company with
Senator Hawley, 81 the committee of
arrangements, drove up to the White
House in an open barouche, lined with
crimson satin, and drawn by four
beautiful white horses. Just as he
arrived, President Arthur's carriage,
containing senS3ors Sherman and
Ransom, started to Arlington for the
president,elect. This carriage was
also an open barouche, drawn by four
spanking bays. After short deley

torical visit of the veterans of the Army
of the Potomac to the battlefield of
Gettysburg took place to-day. The &C.
casion is the third of a series of annual
visits to the Eastern battlefields of the
late war. The first visit was made to
the battlefield of Bull Run, two years

Charlottesville and the Wilderness,
last year. The president who, after
two months of trying labor at the cap

A New Industry.

Porpoise fishing for the oil alone has
been carried on for many years off the
North Carolina coast, but last summer
a company was formed with its head
quarters at Cape May, N. b., not only
for trying out the soil, but for utilizing
the hide.
The experiment made by this CON-
pany proved quite successful, $40
being realized, it is said, from an outlay
of $1,000 in five weeks fishing, and its
facilities for taking porpoises will be
greatly increased the coming season.
The skin of the porpoise makes very
superior, soft, and pliable leather, and
the estimated value of each indi-
yidual for its oil and skin alone was
placed at 800. Last autumn it was dis
covered that the flesh made quite saw
DRY dish, and it became so popular at
the fashionable watering places along
the coast that Philadelphia firm re-

company, it is said, will reject the
offer, as it already has offers from prom
inent Philadelphia and New York hotels
and restaurants, and it is believed that
there will be demand for the meat
which cannot be met.
The meat is red and juicy, and resem-
bles in appearance beef, but is more
solid, finer grained, and very tender;
much more like yenison. which it resem-
bles in flavor. They are taken in senes
about 1000 feet long and very wide,
and when captured, if not already
drowned, are killed by stabbing with
knives. It.would seem that the outlook
for the success of new and valuable
industry being established along ur
coast was most excellent

slider means to prevent the spread of
contagious pleuro-pneumonia. The con-
vention organized by electing Henry

prevail of the object of the convention,
and favored appropriate legislation.
He said the state veterinarian should

sufficient sum of money should be APP
propriated to pay for cattle that it might
