No doubt that was why the cooks of Chicago had so large a clientago fast evening—an attend- ance of round men, Tm‘l livers, falr faces, bald heads, keen eyes, and hnnllg a_wrinkle to the score, Technk‘:\h‘y. it was tho first nnnunl ban- quet and ball of the meat, try cooks, and confcctioners of Chicago, or, in the words of the dancing programme, Epl4ureau Camp No, 1, ‘Thero was very listlo in' tho weather to recom- mend attendaice, and yet fully a thousand peo- le dlsregarded the snow aud atorm to reach {Hlllch'n Block, and filt_ita halls, rooms, and passuges torepletion.

TUE RUSK YOR DAMAGED GoODS, Bome dozens of frreggular beaps of bulf-burnt, mud-bedragzled dry-gouds were stacked up tn tho opeu spaco south of the Exposition Build- ing yesterday moralng; the goutly-descending rain kept on soaking them up, and washlog the mud-spots into them, and reducivg them to a fine and pulpy, but hardly rocogunizable, mass; the group of Idlers, indulging i thelr ususl vocatidn of standing-around, grinned. The floods of yesterday, and the day before, uwud the days befurs that, wero still abovo the ground to the dopth of several juches, und tho separate heaps of damaged goods, each with its tull board peer- iug avove it, seemed not collke s flect of dis- mantied and totally-wrecked vessols alter u atorm. Aud lu oug sense they wers total ‘wrecks, if the remarks of several Young women with au Irish avcent who stood near may bo bo- Heved.

But all the toreuoon there was u throng of people, coustantly gulhertn( and focreastug, upon that usphalt pavement in frout of thu Exposition Buitding. The fuct bud been widely udvertised that the ereat sale of damaged goods rescucd trow the Field & Leltor tire would buglu Tues- dsy wmornlng. Womankivd = was excited, Katbers and families complalned of the cooking ot breukldst. Children were bustled off to #chool with thelr shoe-strings untied, and thelr noaes uutuuched by the maternal apron. And st U o'clock there were two processions on Mlchigan avenue warching in opposite direc- tlons towanls tho same poiot, nwnely: the mafu estrunee to the Exposition Bufld- fng. A litlo later there wus another pro- cesslon, startiog from tho uorth door, and stretchiog down towards Madison street. This ouu bore o banvers uor flaygs, but each womau stagyered along under the welght of a huge pa- per buvdle. Every one had us much assbe could carry. e ‘The crowd at the inain entrance did net di- miuish, notwithstauding that large mumbers wers admitted in detachients from time to time. This parceling off of the people was ren- dosed necessary from the fact that the interior of the buflding hal become a0 well inhabited as to crowd and choke nll the passazes, But now and then there would bo broathing ronm, when a fow customera had dragged themsclves unwiilingly away; and tllcro\l‘von the great front doorswould ho opencd, and the strugziing throng outside would cheer and mnke a rush. For a fes moments tho trouble would last, and many were the bats and other articies of arel crushed fn the melee. Then from within o mandate would be given _to ahut the doors, and tho pollcomen and guarids would hg almost superhnman efforts manage to push the doora together. This procesa was repeated all day long, and when cvening draw on there was still A? h;'rgs a throng outside as in the ecarlier part of the day, Most o{lho people were of the poorer classes, tho women cvidently having tho worst form of that mania for cheap bargalns, which {s popular- Iy ascribed In_ greater of less degreo to the femalo sex. Later fn the day the charncter of tho assemblage suffered a littlo change, as not a few carringes with Hverfed drivers were to bo seen wMumS in front, and plnmics and scalskins mingled with the common shawls and bonnots In the throng. THE NEW BOARD, THB COAIRMANSHIP UNCERTAIN, It had been thought that after the labors of the Republican members of the new County Board, Friday, In eaucus, that the question of Chalrmansbip had been settled boyond all dls- pute, but, 4f half the reports beard are to be given credence, such i not the case. 8ince Fri- day o great deal of log-rolling has been. going on, and with [t all it may now be sold that the Chalrmanship of the Board fa just os nncertain as it was befors the election. This comes of various enuscs, not thy least of which Is tho fact that In all of the slate-making it is snld there hLos been o remark- ablo amouvt of bad faith, and noxt to this is the fact thatallof the mcmbers cannot be Cbnlrmnnhneuher con they all he nut at the, head of the moro desirable gommitteea in the organization. Before the cancus of last Friday most of_the Republieans bad coma to Mr, Senneand pledzed Bl thelr support for tho office, He told them that he would aceept the position if tendercd to him, and wonld dothe best he could. Subse- quently several of them put their heads to- guther, and, remembering that Sennc had refused_to 'draw from the Treasury more than $2.50 as per diem, weakened not a lttle, fearing that ho was n the chair he would refuse to sizn thelr warrants for a greater amount, They walted on him ahout thie matter, and recefved tho assurance that he would, if clected to the position, sizn warrants for the per dicm they might vote thempsclves, and this appeared Lo satisfy them, and they re- newed their pledges. When the caucus”was held, howover, be got but two votes, whilo Ayars got three, which Senne conld not under- stand at the time, nnd does not now understaud as clearly as ho would wish. Since theu he has been inquiring who thoso werewho did not keep thelr word avith him, which led ycstorday. to a further mysterious gathering of a few Inadark room. It {8 not known exactly what was done, but it 18 known that tho mecting was not the most harmonious, and that, when it ad- Journed, no one would wager a nickel on the Chairmanship, owing to tho fact that Mr, Senne 1s understood to have refused to pledge himsclf to support the caucua slate, and of the further foct that it is highly probable that Mr. Tabor will uot be able, on account of sickness, to at- tend the first meeting.of the new Board, und the yet further fact that Me. Fitzgerald docs nat fel that he has been treated with proper consideration, andisinclined to repudiatethe cau- cus work. Without the votes of ot lcast twoot these,~Senneand Fltzgerald,—the Kepublicans, it wl\l bo acen, are powerleas: and, {f they nro dofeatod in the organization, they may lay it to thir bad falth in one another, and the bickertng und stelie tneldent to the general scramblo for precedenco and place. While the Republicans are thus fighting, the old * Ringster™ aro up and dofng, and holding au occasional caucus. Thoy were {eulenlnr privately gloating over the inistakes o tho Be- publicans, and hugeloe to thelr bosoms the con- solation that they might possibly come ont atead after oll. "One of them Inadvertently dropped a few remarks in o the pressnce of ‘o reporfer, which may — mean much or Iittle, but certalnly nothing of goad to tho Republicans. From what he sald It would appear that at a recent caticus a Commite tes was appoluted to walt on Commissioner Wheeler aud offer bim the Chalrmnnship, pro- vided he would ayree to vote for Rountree, and make certain other concessiuns tn Lhe appolnt- ment of tho Committees. They proposed to give him soven votes, Including that of Mr, Tabor (who 18 opposed to Ayars), If he was oblo to be out, and adding to the seven_his own he would have onotgl to cleet him, In the event of Mr. Tabor’s contlnued sickness, tho Commit-* teo reasoned that it wus quite probable that Senne or Fitzgerald, or botli, would vote for Wheelcr as azamst Ayars, and In any event they claimed—knowing their man, no doubt—tnat under the circumstances they had the Chatrmanship to give. The Individual who waa uverhenrd detatling the scheme appenred confle dent that it would work, and said that Mr, Wheeler had entertalned the proposition, but witbheld fora few days any positive answer, The wnan went on to say that Wheeler wanted the place, and to express the opinfon that if the ** Ringaters ™ lessencd thelr demands upon him he would accept theiroffer. An Jutimata friend of Mr. Wheeler was seen later fo the day, anid he aflirmed much of the story, but denled that Wheeler would accept the proposition, or have ongthing to do with the old crowd {n any way, however anxfous ho might be for the Chairman- ship, or liowever iuch he might be opposcd to thawill of the dark-lantern caucuses.
