Bar RIDES, August 2. 1856. <Thi.
has been one Of he largest days 81

least 5000 persons being on the
ground.
The steamer .Bay Ridge fthe
only boat rOw running hcre) brought
down On her trips from Baltimore
about $500 people, and the Baltimore
and Washington trains ct least AZ
many more. There were 20 less than
600 or 700 from Annapolis. All the
coaches on the train were crowded,
and there was great contention for
seating room on their return in the
evening, and many from the cities
were compelled to remain over all
night.
The "St. Leo's Lyceum." the est.
Plus CouBcil No. 90, G. B. L." oil
Baltimore, and the Wesley Chapel
Sunday School of Annapolis, made
special excursions here to-day, which
greatly swelled the crowd.
The gravity railroad, the Bay
Ridge museum. the "hying horses
or merry 60 round, the self-propelliag
swings, the race horses, aud 10 fact
all the amusements were well patron
lied.
Between 800 and 400 were il bath
ing, and the bath-house did thriving
business all day.
The steamer Empire State pass
ed here about FIVE o'clock this even
ing on her way to New York.
The new band-stand was occupied
to night for the first time represented
a beautiful appearance when lighted
with the electric lights, and was
much admired.
No accidents happened during the
day worthy of note.
There was great rush for the
trains at night and considerable con.
fusion was occasioned by persons
getting on the wrong trains, notwith-
standing the direction of the railroad
officers. Some of the cars were so
crowded that many had to stand up.
This is owing, 10 doubt, to the
majority of persons waiting for the
last train.
