Another Account.
WORLDS FAIR GROUNDS, CHIcA-
GO, ILL, August Especial Virginia
day I'm Chicago has been a splendid sue
cess all arouad.
The handsome hall was made hand
somer with decorations OF large and
elegant flags. Chairs for forty guests
and for the fifty members OF the Iowa
State Band. which played upon the plat
form, were soon flied. and the exer-
cises commenced about 23O O'Clock.
The music was admirable. the Iowa
Band being considered the finest IN
Chicago. They know how 90 play
"Dixie," too and when they wound up
with that tune the yell that went up
all over the house showed that a large
proportion Of the audience was South
ern, or else that the Yankees and West
erners liked Southern music.
When Fitz. Lee came upon the plat
form the greeting he received was an
ovation, and not less hearty was the re-
ception that Senator Daniel received
when he made his appearance.
The Introductory address Of Colonel
he rose. was a gem in its way, and was
well received. He then, after paying
high compliment to him. introduced Gen
eral Fitzhugh Lee, who. after waiting
some minutes for the applause which
greeted him to subside. made q most
happy address which was interrupted all
through with the most generous applause.
The old soldier element ia the audience
was evidently large, and the applause was
o1f n
part OF Il. After several more numbers
Of the fine Iowa music President Buford
introduced Rev Beverly y. Tucker whose
brief but exceedingly appropriate ode was
well received. and Judging by the atten-
tion given by the audience was thorough
ly appreciated
The Iowans then gave the columbian
National Pot-POuri," after which, though
nearly two hours had passed, Senator
Daniel arose before a fine audience,
which, during the hour or more that he
spoke. was held by his eloquence, and
constantly increased by accessions from
the passing throng outside, who were at
tracted by the storms Of applause that
constantly shook the building.
Daniel Held Them.
Guards at the doors wishsd to know
II they should admit the curious ones
who crowded about the door, and just
wanted 10 see tOr niue Whle Wndt was
going On. "Oh, yes" said Nirgnian,
who was standing near, 'let them in;
John Daniel will hold them after they
once get inside" and he did hold them.
He was in good trim, good voice and
never pleased Nirginians better; nor were
they ever quite so proud of him.
Men and women, picked men and wo-
men. too. from all over this broad coun-
try. and from other countries, were
enthusiastic over his eloquent periods,
his patriotic sentiments his well-chosen
subjects, his choice English and his
loyal Virginia candor.
