Ab Ins an Ingenious youth romoved the Md from one of the oyster-cans, and tendered It, full of the “frappy," to dne of hig delighted companions, who, while he held it: in atr, stooped forward, and, daintily as a pet canury sips from it8 glass, placed her I Hy to the hoppy. brim and? refreshed herselé with a draught of the deccetion.

Halifax, the thing broke ‘up, and everybody went homo In the cars, * ON THE OUTSIDE. A TERRIFIC JAM, The crowdon the outside of the Expos!- tlon Building was something extraordinary in point of proportions and character. In nuinbers it quadrupled any: that appeared upon the samo same spot during tho late Re- publica Natlondl Convention, It was a mixed crowd, ©” crowd of ‘grandeur; of Jadics in full dress; of street Arabs in tags; . of = tho deml; monde, vying In dress with the bern monde; Knights in fall uniforms; gen- tlemen tn full dress; lackeys scattering hero and there, tramps and riff-raff anywhere they could got a chance. ‘Yhatwas the crowd Around and about the Exposition Building lust night. Itwasan excitedspushing, and unsteady mass of human beings of both sexes. It was in the main a crowd of i volnted people who came to see and could not. After the doors of the Exposition Building had been thrown open there was a grand rush forthe tuside, ‘There was only one door for Ingress, and that was opposlt Adams street, and no doors had been opened to admit ‘of ‘egress. Of course the result was on grand ae that as has never befure been seen In Chicago or any other ¢ltv at a ball, ‘There had been 0,000 invitations Issued for 130,000 peop! und If only one-half of these came there could not help but be a crushing, Jamming, and perspiring crowd, ‘his wus the ease Inst night. Madison, Monroe, Adams, atl dackson streets sent w steady ‘stream of Inulles and gentlemen towards the Exposition Budldiog, These were added to by the hnn- dreds of carriages which kept arriving from every point. Atone thne there must have Deon 20,000 people outside of the Exposition Building, on Michigan uvenuc alone, They thered Targely around the cen- tral door, ‘but could not got near enough to It to work their waytn. Gentle- men in black Prince Albert’ coats helped thelr Indies, who were. in full dress, out of enrringes, only to tako them back to the vehicles and Urlye home, angry and disap- pointed; ‘There, can be no doubt that some one erred inthe arrangement for this feature of 9 grand ball, Knights who caine from afar with Indies, who had iuvitations, could not get within seventy-tive feet of the building. One Indy said to 9 ‘Trmmuse reporter: “I never saw the like, Tlere's ny white satin all spoiled, and John’s: gone home with the carriage, I ean’t get Into the hall; now what shall [ do??? Just Hien there was a commotion in that Brent crowd. ‘There was a jostlonnd 2 pish, und aman shouted, “God, my wateh and chaints zone!” Another wanted some one to help him find 2 diamond stud which had heen nipped from is shirt-front. An or- manlzel, ng of thieves had got into tie crowd and were reaping a nice harvest. There were great mutterings of disappoint- iment, and when it was told outside that tho ladies Inside were falnting by the score the envlots ones suid, “E told you sa? One id that they had ought to get up an- other ball .to.satisty the Knights who had tickets and couldn't getin, The crowd kept inerensing In numbers up to 10 o’clock, and singing up and down Michigan avenue. La- ates in full dress, hanging upon the arms of brave Kuights, formed a goodly portion, and whenever some one tore one of these fine robes the bad boys shouted * O, too bad? ani whenever a Indy sereeched because of the crowil's pushing, the bad boys fmitated her, And {t was thiselass of fun all the night long. Conspicnousin that crowd was Long John,” but Ins jain of humanity he wars no better off than a little man. But John was mad, — and ie stnyed — around until he was fairly holsted into the building. ils lengthiness was silent, but that awful emifle was, playing upon his face. A great imany of the ladies ‘and gentlemen shuply droye to the door and back, never ‘leny- Ing thelr carrlages.- A great many people from the outslis took possession of the win- dows fromthe greensward, and looked in upon the scens of uncomfortable humanity. At twenty minutes past 10 o’elocle the north doors wero-thrown open, and people entered and left the building more freely. ‘The worst ot the crush outside was over, and it soon after subsided entirely, ‘There was an Jmnucnse amount of fine costumes spoiled In that crowd, and the Indies did not even get a chauce to look through the windows, TO-DAY’S DOINGS.

It appeared that during. tho procession, while the Commandery was. presenting nrms to the Grand Cominuander, the Slr Knight who did tho dam- ago inisentenlnted iis distances, anit sent his sabru through the ear of his front rank man, Sir Knight Hopkins, to whom the subsequent. proceedings uf the pageant sitddenty lost all Interest. ‘The wound was a pala tut yel not severe one, and a thiely ap plleation of stieking-plaster rejainod the sev- ered cartitnge, and tinde the gallant Knight wholo ones more, White the procession was in progress the Sir Knights eame or were carried tite the hospital tent, In what seemed to be alarmtag- Ty Sarge minmbers, as many as twenty of then, who had heen overcome by the heat and fatigues of tho day, being under medical attendance at noon. During tho day over 00 cases of alekness were attended to and prescriptions inde out by Mr Ib La. Campen, the Eneanpnent druggist on duty nt the time. ‘Tho prevailing maladies wero diarrhea and neryaus prostrition caused by tho heat. Among the litter were three genit- ine and quite serious cases of sunstroke, Sir Knight tra W.
