VISITORS FROM A DISTANCE.

The earliest visitors from distance
were Col. O'Sullivan and his daughter,
MISS Mary O'Sullivan, who came from
New orleans, to be present at the nOti-
HCatlon.
The infornality OF the proceedings TO
come was exempllfied by the absence
OF any visible preparation or ceremony
about Rosemount. No request was
made for police protection.
Expecting that the day would be fine,
and that crowd would flock to the
ceremony On the lawn, Deputy Sheriff
webster OF Kingston volunteered To
bring up 0 few deputies and have them
IN readiness IN case the press about the
speakers stand made their assistance
desirable. The offer was accepted with
thanks by Secy. McCausland, but there
wasl little need of even this presence of
civil authority.
The only police officer or detective on
TIE place during the morning was Chief
Humphrey OF the New York Central
railroad detective force who came to
look after the railroad end of the affair.
AT 1880 the rain had nearly ceased,
turning to a fine mist, but the clouded
sky showed no break.
At 1880 the sky which had llghtened
considerably after the rain had stopped
again became very dark and lowering
and Secy. McCausland believed that the
speechmaking would have to be done
on the boat,

rigon, and candidate for Congress.
This delegation brought a message
to Judge Parker from Mayor Harrison
To the effect that he was reluctantly
Obliged to forego the pleasure of at
tending the notification ceremonies,
largely on account Of the great strike
I'm Chicago.
The trip OF the notification committee
from New York to Esopus was attended
with much discomfort to the passengers
lue to continuous rain, which drove
everybody from the upper decks and
overcrOwded the lower deck and saloon.
Luncheon was served on the boat.
THE Sycamore was decorated with flags
and bunting and attracted the attention
OF every boat on the river and trains
on both sllpreR of the Hudgon. Al sew

enthusiastically cheered the vessel. At
