The Tournament at Giesbo Yesterday, in compection with the pic-nic given for the benefit of the new Uatholic Church of St. Dominic, South Washington, at Giesboro, a tournament came off, which, bat for therain of the previous day, wonld have been witnessed by thousands. As it was, however, the “tourney” was one of the best which bas yet taken place in this section of the country, and Was witneseed by quite a nu- merous company from this city d George- ee as also from the lower counties of Mary- ane. The place selected for the tournament was just south of the residence of Mr. Young, in we road, which was in fine condition. Along either side of the road railing had been erectéd, and at the south end an arch was sprang and gaily decorated with ever, ms. In the center ‘was an iron bar perforated with holes, and in the end of which the ring was placed, was hooked in one of these holes, according tw the wishes of the respective knights. On the left of the course was a platform, on which were quite a nombér of epectators. and opposite the Judges’ stand, which was occupied by Dr. John i. Bayne, R. Q. Bowling, Col. H. Navior. and T.R. Brightwell, judges, with the orator of the day, br. Charles Allen, and representatives, ‘oi the press. ri About 11 o’eloek the band of the Sth U.S, cavairy led the procession trom their rendez- vous in the following order :—Dr. P. G. Heis- kell, marshal: Dr. Wood and J. W. Bayne, aide: Notley Hansos, Wii. Marshall, B. F. Merbury, J. Fry and Chas: Bowling, heralds; F.M. Barthoiew, Knight of Washington; A. Tolson, of the Good Cause; W. Edelin, of Wa- verly; J. Douglas Martin, of Greenwood: T. Mosber. jr., of peers Win. poo of the Lone Star; H. Naylor, jr., oj ethan: Wm. A. Young, of Leuisiana; &. W. Walker, of Green Lawn, Jesse Edelin, of the Walder- nest: Col. W.M. Maddox, of the Old Ouxen Backet; Murry Addison, of Cold Brook: Wile Bayne, of the Grove; T, J. Naylor, of Melford: Wm. Mrrtin, of ‘the Valley; T. S. Toison, of Maryland. In this order they procéeded to and were marshaled im front ef the judges stand. Dr. Bayne introduced Dr. Allen, who ad- dressed the Kuighw in appropriate terms, and after the judges had given them some general directions the contest commenced, the Knights charging through first to test the speed of their horses, all of them making the time in less than 11 secouds—I2 being allowed. The marsbal and aids, with a bugle, were Stationed op the rightof the judges stand, the band immediately opposite, white down the road, outside the track, the heraid’s were sta- tioned td pass down the word when ready for the charge. On the first’ tilt the Knigtit of Washington knocked off the ring but did not take it, rhe Knights of the Good Cause, Waverly, Gteen- wood, Lone Star, Chatham, Louisiana, Green Lawn, Wilderness, Old Oaken Bucket, Celd Brook and the Grove each took the ring—the first four and the last one making the time ten séconde, and the others in nine seconds, except- fag Old Oaken Bucket. who made it 1m eight, Milford im niae seconus kuocked the ring off but fafied to take it. as also Valley and Mary- land, whose time was ten seconds. The Knight ot Woodsteck kmocked off the ring but fuiled to take it in nine seconde, but it having been hung too high he was allowed & sécord trial and took it imthesametime. Colonel Maddox, as the Knighe of Old Osken Bucket, being the most portly Knight, and dressed in a bright sult of red attracted much attention and some merriment, but when he gallantly teok the ring in eight seconds, thereby beating his lighter competitors, there was an outburt of applause, and en his retarn with the ring he was the re- cipient of numerous boquets. On the second tilt Washington again failed to take the ritgin ten secon: Good Cause and Waverly each took the ring, making nine seconde; Greenwood missed, his horse shying near the ring; Woodstock again took it, making ten seconds: Lone Starand Chatham each took itimmine. Louisiena,Green Lawn, Wilder- ness and Old Oaken Bucketeach knocked the ring down, the first apd fourth making the ume nine seconds and the others ten; Cold Brock missed innune seconds: Milford knocked it down in nine, as also Maryland. The Grove and the Valley each missed in ten. On the third jt Washington was successful in nme seconds; Good Cause and Waverly in ten each, Greenwood; Woodstock sna Lone Star were unsuccessfal m mine each. Chatham wok the ring in ten, Louisiana knocked it of in nine, and was followed by Green Lawn, who made a missin thesame time. Wilder- ness knocked it offin ten; Old Oaken Bucket missed in the same time. Cold Brook carried it off in ten; Grove followed, knocking the ring down in the same time. Melford in nine, Vailey ten, Maryland nine, ‘each faled. There being x te between Good Cange, Waverly, and Chatham, they were called on to break it. On the first trial, Good Cause took abe ring in nine seconds, Waverly aad Chat- bam each failing, the former in ten and the jatter in nine seconds, On the second. Waverly and Chatham each were suecess{ful, the former in nine and the latter in ten seconds. On the third trial, Waverly was victorious only, making his time nine seconds. This settled the contest as to the honor of crowning the (jueen, and thé first and second maids of honor; and Woodstock, Lone Star, and Cold Brook each having scored two in the original lists, they contested for tne privilege ef choosing the third maid, Woodstock beimg succttsful on the first trial, The contest having closed, the knights were again drawn up in-line; and after Dr. Bayne, on the part of the judges, and Dr. Alien, on the part of the spectators, had complimeuted them on their achievements, they announced the result, and Mr. A. Telsen, the Kaight of the Good Cause, named Miss Katie Key, of St. Mary's, as Queen of Lave and Beauty; Mr. x In. ight of Waverly, Miss Josephine Heiskell, of Prince Georges’ as first maid of honor; Mr. A.
