Fair Grounds.

5000 strong, leading the way for the saw
ages aud barbarians of Midway Plais-
ance. In the main grounds they were
Joined by the Italian marines, British
soldiers and West Point Cadets.
1t was strangely wonderful sight, and
it is doubtful if its like has ever been
witnessed in the world before or will
ever be seen again.
The parade was led by Governor Alt
geld and his staff until it reached the Hi
nois building, where they dropped out
and the Governor reviewed the process
sion from the front of the portico.
The day wound up this evening with a
magnificent illumination and one of the
grandest displays of fireworks yet seen,
Among the set pieces was one showing
the facade of the Illinois State building,
sixty by forty feet in size, containing
1900 separate burning pieces, and the
Lincoln monument at Springfield, forty
by forty feet.

by most of the commissioned officers

SERIOUS TROUBLE AT BUFFALO,
BUFFALO, Aug. 24.-Serious trouble de-
veloped this morning at Broadway anct
Market streets, East Buffalo, between 800
Poles and marketmen. The Poles, who
are out of work, robbed the provision
stands. When the owners of the stands
tried to protect their property riot re-
suited. The police arrested ten of the
ringleaders.
Ihe immediate cause of the disturb-
ance is said to have been an attempt by q
Hebrew peddler to defraud a Polish
woman in making exchange. There has
been bad blood between the Poles and
Hebrews of foreign extraction, and it
only required slight provocation to create
an open rupture. In addition it was
stated last night that the Poles had de-
cided to raid the market this morn
ing. For several days they have been
threatening that if they were not given
work or bread, they would obtain the
latter by violence. A meeting was held,
and much intiammatory talk INDUCED
III. The police assert that though the
Poles are out OF work, there are few if
any hungry. Most OF them have their
homes paid for, and money laid by. They
are uneasy because of the lack of employ
ment, and being Of an excitable nature,
are always ready for a row. More trouble
is feared.

ing descent on the stockade, and more
