day were re-enacted. The crowd was
not as large as on Wednesday, most Of
the bidders coming from this city, and
Moundsville. A great many Of the real
. estate men from Baltimore and other
points, however, remained for yester-
days sale.
Another special train went down from
this city at nine o'clock. 1t was made
mo of four or five coaches, but they were
not filed. The train ran into the camp
ground station, where the MOundsville
Cornet Band awaited the arrival OF the
visitors. Owing TO a misunderstanding
the train pulled out Immediately, and
went TO MOundsville, where the passen-
gers were discharged. The flags and
bunting were still conspicuous along
the streets, but the crowd was not
there. IL was after ten o'clock when
the Wheeling people reached the Com
uany'S grounds, and it was half an hour
ister when the sale began. The morn
ing business was transacted on "Laroka
Heights" a short distance from the
Prohibition ASsembly's grounds, and
The sale OF lots was confined to those
adjoining the camp grounds. A large
tree furnished shelter from the rays Of
the hot morning sun, and many peo-
ple attended in carriages. There was
probably a hundred and fifty people
present, including fair sprinkling Of
ladies'.

This concluded the sales Of the morn
ing, and about noon the crowd went
over 10 the grove, where meals were
served by the ladies. About $50 persons
were fed, and went away satisfied. Fiji
ty-twO lots were sold during the morn
ing, and the aggregate amount received
was S11, $50. The lowest price received
for a single lot was S155; highest price,
$3.50; average price, S215. There were
not so many bidders as on the previous
day, and consequently bidding was not
so spirited. The lots, however, brought
almost as good price as at Wednesdays
sale, taking into consideration the loca-
ton. The sun was very warm and
10 was therefore decided to hold the
afternoon sale in the grove.
A number Of people came out to the
grounds after dinner, and swelled the
crowd to 200 or 225 people, nearly one
half of whom were ladies, who evinced
decided interest In the proceedings.

Der of spirited selections in a pleasing
manner At half-past l o'clock the

The afternoons sale was the most
unsatisfactory OF the series. Not
outstanding the fact that many
choice lots were offered, buyers
0Id not show a disposition to bid
very lively, and the prices were much
over than on the previous day. The
bidders had evidently secured all the
lots they wanted, and were not disposed
70 buy more, unless they could secure
Them at a sacrifice. 1t was difficult to
gst bids upon some pieces Of property
Ouered, and there was but lit
