given an ovation. Every seat was oecu-
pied and all the available standing room
utilized. The doors of the srmory were
not opened until O'Clock. but half-past
six the passageway from the street was
filled by at least 500 waiting for the FIRST
chance to get in the building. At least
three quarters of the crowd were ladies,
who were in waiting, and soon nearly all
the waiting ones were of the fair sex, for
some of the young men discovered that
the window on the west side was unlocked
and 1t was raised and the male portion of
the crowd awaited themselves of the op-
portunity to Aide in and get seat with
out waiting for the doors to opsn. Fully
200 went into the window and the only
gentlemen left outside were those who
had ladies with them aud could not with
propriety get away. 1t was expected
that M Murphy's father would be
here last evening, but owing to other engage
ments 1t was impossible. He came up with his
son on the 2:26 train but did not stop here. The
