Yoaterday was a grost day for the babies in the vicinity of Western avenue, DPinafores wero starched, froned, and crimped; sashes of ox- traordinary breadth and quality were invested in; hair was placed in paper and ornamontod with irons: aud everything which enhances tho asvect- noes of tho little chorubs that aro stationod hore below for our epocial onjoyment was entered into with w macornal zoat which demonstrated that An Uncomnon ovent twas to occur. Tho socrot of all this preparation was thats baby-thow was to tako place in the Methodist Church, corner of Monroo atrect, in the ovening, Some people are 8 little squoamish over auch oxhibitions, forgotfnl of tho fact that bsby-sbows sto 8 neccssity to maternal and paternal existence and of honrly ocenrrence. From the time of thoir birth until they crt aside the awaddling clothes for moro ambitious garments the darlings aro madea show of. Their babysbips may protest as they like, but they havo to pass tho try- ing ordcal and submit to unlimited kieses on rensitive places other than tho face. Thov aro criticised in tho minutest particular, and havo to bear it as best they may. No good to cry, scream, and acratch, or rook revenge in other oxpreselons peculiar to tho infantile cnar- acter. It all bas to bo borne. ani that baby ta tho ttne phifosopher which takos things casey, and doos what it can tomar tho pleasures of maturity on tun ely, By about 8 o'clock the momontous srrange- monte were comploted and TRY LADIES ASSEMBLED in tho church, cach ono attracting an amonnt of attontion which would Lave bewi)lored nny ono of largarigrowth. Quito a number of young Jadica aud thoir bonus were proaent, and took s peculiar interest In tho pro- cesdings, In all thero must havo been Qu0 in attondancs, all smiling aud happy, and ali in love with tho babies, Of tho Iatter itis im- posalblo to say anything without approaching tho domain of iiattory. ‘Thora were bablos of all ecrts, sizes, And conditions, ‘Tho fat baby, which woizbod #o mavy pounds in #0 many mionths, sir, was thore, Thera was tho baby which had cut ite tecth andthe baby which hadn't; thore wei good-bumorod babies and babies who wero inclined to take & melaucholy yiow of affnira; there wore sentimontal babios aud serio comic babies; there wero babies who kicked and hobies who wouldn't be guilty of tho slightest breach of goo breeding—in fact, thera was overy concovabla description of babies, but thera waa only ono really fino baby aud—overy mothor possossed it!

No defeated mother could fool herself sligutod when moneyed intluenco ruled tue contost. ‘Lhe wisdom of this plau waa fully reahzed. Evory- thing passed ploasantly, and the ultimate win- nors of the silyer-cups and tho baly-jnmper wera uot oven regarded with ordinary euvy. Provious to tho active prosecution of the cam- pnign, the Rev. Mr. Shophard doliverod a fow apposite remarks on tha CHANACTEMIATICS OF NANTDOM and tho lenzons which were to be lenrned thore- froin by all who wero willing to accept the teach- in. After this prelozue, which was pointed hero and thore with infantilo demonstrations, tho cauyassing waged fast and furious, and it was only a qheation of money and friends to decide the victory. About 10 all doubts aud anxictica wore sct st rest, Dabios Watvon and Franloy woro awarded the palm, and reccived their pres- ents with the best graco in tho world, Con- gratulations poured in uvon thom, their baby friends boing toudcet in their notes of apprecia~ tion. Altopother quite a jolly time was had. Tho young Indies had provided a good supply of ice erenm and confectionery, fur which thoy were substantially thanked by the gentlomou. ‘he success of the ehow will undoubtedly bo produc- tive of others, fvery wother having fine babtos—and who basn’t ?—will sigh for opportu- nities of oxhibition, and ths agitation will not subside until overy baby in Chicago has taken a prize. 2 a ea THE CAMP-GROUND, ‘THE ISTH DAY, Despito untoward circumatancen tho attond- ance and [ntorest are ou tho incroaso,, and it may bo truly said of this meeting, * Its last days sro its beat dass.” Since Saturaay the arrivals both from the city aud country have boon largo, so thet now the encampmiont will compara favorably with many that have precedod it.

EVYODTS TO SET 3T ABIDE, 0. P. Gregory & Co,, of Richmond, Va., yea terday filea » voluminous petition agelust the bankrupt firm of Roe Brothers, compousd of Predoriok A. and Alfrod Roo, The patition was for the purpose of baving the compoaltion sat aaide which Lue Brothers offered some time ago, and which was sccepted bya majority of their creditors, The petitioners alleges that the bankrupts owe them $6,882.19; that they bad aold Roe Brothers goods prior to December, 1874, and when they failed $1,957.50 of goods were in transitu, Whon they heard of the fajl- ure thoy immediately came on here, and found that those goods had been delivercd Saturday, two days after the Roe Brothera had ab- seconded, They then returned home, and heard nothing of the bankruptcy mattor until February following, when they recolved a lettor requesting them to send on a proof of thoir claim, to be used io bankruptoy proceedings. ‘They complied, bus sent uo powor of attornoy, and their claim was uever in the bapkruptoy case, nor wore they evor represented therviu, No notice concerning the composition procced- ings or the westing of creditore was givou then, sud they only learned of auch events through ono of their firm who came to this city July 4 last. ‘Thoy claim that, had they known of auch proceeding they would never have consented theroto, aud that thoy bave not as yet received under the compostion proceedings, also alloge thet the proceedings to procure a composition wore entirely IRBYOULAB AMD INSUF@ICIENT ae, becatse HO achudule of the ‘dubts and asuete wes produced a for the wiole of tha! 4 ths composition meeting, and because neither of |, pad been signed by thoir atbornsy, Still another otijection was that thero was a denial of bankruptcy tiled, and the case, in fact, At presont stood for trial on that isso, whan, in order to mako the composition binding, thero ahould bave been a previous adjudication. ‘Tho petitioners also tate that at the meoting tho bankrupte’ attorneys stated on their pro- feseloual honor that their clients would onty havo about $5,000 aftor thor debts wore pald, ‘This, it ia alloged, ; CANNOT NE TRUE, for the bankrupts, for a long timo pravions to their abeconding, liad beon ongagod in dofraud- ing thoir creditors sith the intent of finally com- pounding with thelr yictimu, and had bought ovor ¥100,00U of goods, which they withhold ond mado no account of. That was a contempt to porsuado a Court to help thom in such practicos, orto sanction such fraud by allowing a compo- sition mocting under such circu;metaticos, ‘Tha potitionora therofore ask that the campouition may bo sct ovide, and that the bankruptcy pro- covdings may be con.tnitod. IN SUPPONT OF THE PRIITION wero filed threo affidavita. Tho firat one was that of Jorome M, Chapman, who stated that ho was a creditor of Moo rothora to the amount of $5,000, and that be nevor signed the composi- tion resolutions, though he was ono of the Com- mittoe apppinted to maquire into tho situation of affairs. ‘The attorneya of the bank- rupta represented nt ‘firat that, tholr cliouta having met with heavy loascs, bad rim away to Canada, and offered to pay $20,000, ‘Ibis thoy subsequantly reduced to $16,000, and thon roxo to927,500, ‘no attorooys also claimed that tho assots wore all in the As- signoo’s hands, and that thoy could not pay more than about 12 per cont. It was also allegod at tho meeting that the Assignee had tho bulk of the property, aud that that part whica bad been spirited away by the baukrupts was of such amnil yoluo that only tho bankrapts could make anything out of it. A resolution was offered at tho enmo meeting that the reasons given by tho bankrupts for thoir absonce woro insuMciant, but it was uot pardod, tho attornoys stating that if it wore it would put an ond to the whole com- promise, aud the resolution to adopt tho 21 por cont was passed, it being supposed that thie waa tho Lost that could bedone. Mr. Chapman also stalos that he wolieves tho bankrupts have large amounts of goods concealad.
