The day opened bright and warm-a
little too warm for comfort, but every
body was glad to accept this alternative
rather than the overdue equinoCtlal
rain. The decoration was gratifyingly
general and in special cases unique and
tasteful in the extreme. The colored
race was out in force early in the day,
and by 10 o'clock the streets were
thronged with colored and white. 1t
was day to which all had long looked
forward, the colored people with eager
anticipation and the white people with
sincere interest. Itwas the Afro-Amer-
leans day, and all recognized the fitness
OF its observation and gave way to him.
The number OF out OF town people in
the procession was not nearly so large
as had been expected, and 1t was there
fore the more creditable to the race in
Wheeling that 1t was in length and ap-
penrnnce an entire success. 1t was o
credit to the committees which organ
lied and arranged it and to the mar
shals who were in command.
1t was little slow in getting started,
owing to the unavoidable delays in
forming. The formation was effected
on Market street northward from Tenth,
and about IL o'clock moved north on
Market to Eighth, OIL Eighth to Main,
down Main to Sixteenth, thence to Mar
ket and on Market over the creek and
over the route us laid down in advance.
The procession was made up us fol-
lows:
Chief Marshal Lcc and stat, mounted.
Escort OF police, Is men, Capt. Delbrngge IN COM
mAnd.

Hack with Hon. j, X. Bruce.
Twelve h0rsemen.
Fifty hacks, with men, women and children,
most OF the vehicles decorated.
Twenty-Five buggies, decorated,
Four wagons full Of people.
The parade was surprisingly long. 1t
seemed as ii every carriage in town was
in the line. A few of them were from
the surrounding towns or the country,
but they were generally city turnouts.
Crowds admired the display all along
the line, the shady side Of the streets
being simply jammed with people.
Frequently special features were APP
plauded on the route.

IxFLuENcn OF A HOME.

If you forget and ignore all say, II it
pass you by like the wind, beg OF you
to remember this one thing: Get
home! No matter how small, nor how
rough the material; no matterif the
stars Of heaven glisten through its
shingles.
"Bc II never 80 humble,
There's no place Ike home"
[Applause.] The glory and strength Of
this country is not in its army nor its
navy, but in its homes. There is no
other country where one can with the
same case aud facility acquire a home
as in the United States.
Here Mr.. Bruce pronounced a glow
ing eulogy on America, which aroused
considerable enthusiasm. This country
has, he said, everything the world can
offer. An EnglishmAn boasted TO an
American that the sun never set on
Great Britain. "Well, said the Amer.
Jean, "the Lord lets 1t set on America;
he knows he can trust US in the dark"
There used TO be n popular song,
"Uncle Sam is rich enough to give US all
farm!" Not only is lie rich enough
to do it. but he is doing 1t, and he is
giving farms TO all tho nations Of the
opportunity. Right here in West Nir-
ginia You can buy fine lands very cheap,
considering their value, for they are
valuable. But how long will this be
true2 l warn you that the time ia
coming when this state Of affairs will
not exist, and 1t may not be tar OIL Il

AT THE FAIR GROUNDS.

Eloquent speechHby Hon. u. X. Bruce
Heard by Largo and Enthusiastic
Audience.
When the parade disbanded, some
what after noon, there was rush OF
people to the State Fair grounds, and
Tor a time the methods OF communica-
ton with the Island were SO crowded as
TO recall the scenes of State Fair week,
with tho exception that yesterday q
large majority OF the people were black.
There we're from fifteen hundred to
two thousand people on the fairgrounds
and OF these perhaps not over two
hundred were white. There were a
great many distinguished looking col
ored men in the throng, Mt. Pleasant,
st. Clairsvilie, Staubenyille and Pitts
burvh being well represented. The
crowd was about evenly divided rs to
sex, il any difference the women pre-
dominating.
Ample preparation had been made to
cater 10 the hungry and the thirsty
mortals, and circus lemonade, peanuts
and fruit were plenty, while modest
lunch or a square meal could be had.
Striking machines, shooting galleries
and other catch.penny devices were
also on every hand.
Before the hour for the formal pro-
gramme to commence those who cared
10 danced on the big platform to the
music OF Meister's orchestra, while 9TH
ers circulated about and shook hands
with friends, or sat in the shade to
chat.

The boomers gathered for the race at
Tohce, directly east Of Guthrie and
LanGsion at the Iowa border, inside bor-
der OF the Kickapoo reservation. At
I;angston negroes had been gathered by
the negro colonization society there to
the number OF 1000, and they were to
move cn massC into the Cimmaron val
icy, 4 most fertile region, and located
IN 4 bunch, Five hundred whites,
,nosi'y cowboys, also had their eyes on
inat section, and each party had made
gI sorts OF threats Of taking the land by
iI9rce. 4 force OF deputy marshals and
deputy sheriRs, under the sheriff Of the
county, had been dispatched there to
preserve order, and it is believed that
Iley will be able to maintain peace.

GrrgsY o. T., Sept. 22.-'The land
is syorrs that is what every time-piece
op,be border Of the lands opened to
settlement to-day proclaimed when its
hands pointed to the hour OF noon.
Simultaneous with the arrival OF that
bopr the home.seekers gathered on the
harder made a headlong rush over the
line into the coveted country and on the
oparter sections on which their eyes had
been ieasting, some for days and others
for weeks and months. The rush was u
mad one and was made SO by the fact
that the number of home-seekcrs great
" exceeded the number OF quarter sec
lions available for settlement:
First there, first served" was the
motto Of every racer. There was room
in the new lands for about 1000 settlers,
allowing 10 acres for each. There were
on the border waiting to claim the avail
able land fully $4,000 people, so that
there were three persons for each sec
lion. It was no wonder, then, that the
rush was mad one, for in this case at
least, the race was invariably to the
swift. Like scenes have never been
witnessed before, except when Oklaho-
lHa became the peoples two years ago.
STRANGE coMMESGLING.
Tho craze to become owner Of part OF
the new lands causes strange comming-
ling of various clements OF society.
There was the cowboy and the more Of
ieminate counter clerk, the gambler
and the preacher, the bona iide settler
and the Spectator, the boot-icgger and
the frontier missionary, the business
man and the tramp, the man who had
lett his country ior his country's good
and the man who was an honor to his
locality, the man in his carriage and the
man in his prairie schooner, the eques-
trian and the pedestrian on the border
before the hour OF noon, and all intent
on one object-the securing OF a piece
oi land. Tomorrow the various ele-
mrnts will arrange themselves in their
classes again.
To-day theywere all Of one class-land
seekers. A hall hours diligeRt work
would have sutIiced to prepare the most
ehIorately equipped boomer for the
raid into the new country, but prepare
tons were begun long before the hour
Otnoon. Horses were hitched, wheels
were creased, saddle girths clinchedNnd
everything made snug as early us ten
o'clock, so anxious was every one to be
in rcaiinessio move atthe time appoint
cd. When the noon hour did arriveall
the pent up excitement found vent in
the firing OF revolvers, shouting and
singing and cracking oil whips and iu-
rious driving and running. The horse
men OF course had the advantage and
most OF the racers were horsemen. The
man who had proceeded to the border
III prairie schooner left his schooner,
family and one horse on the border and
became horsemun. After locating his
claim he will return and direct his pos.
sessions 10 his home.

runnin'. Three years ago was = mighty
mild winter, and We had green Christ
mas that year
Here the old lady paused and heaved
q sigh No one said anything and she
continued: Il recolleck now there was
more ouryin's that year in the Bald Hill
buryin' groun' than there has been since
AL put together
yes" assented Mrs Botsworth, re-
fectively, "A green Christmas alters
makes a fat graveyard, they say, an I
never knOwed it to fail
Il reckon it'll be good sleighin' to-
morrer," observed Uncle Billy, an all
the folks'll come over in the hobs. Eli
what's that?S
The exclamation with which he con-
cluded his remark was caused by the
furious bark of old @Maje," the watch
dog, the sound of voices in the front
yard. and what seemed 70 be the cry OF a
child in fear.
The two boys started for the front
door, while the remainder Of the family
sat intently listening and wondering who
could be their visitors They had not
long to wait; for a minute latter the
sitting-rOOm door was flung open and
Jacob strobe in, bearing in his arms a
bright and lusty 2-year-old boy. Almost
snatching the wraps from about It, and
holding the little fellow up, he shouted:
sPap, look at your grandson; Filsey's
come, an this is her boy"
The devil it is" roared Uncle Billy,
springing to his feet, with a face as
black as a thundercloud. Take him
away; i don't want ter see him"
