AT THE CITY HALL. ‘The City Hall Park was a great centre of attraction @uring the whole day, from the fact that the cool shade Of its trees and the green grass of itg squares served to refresh the weary and give them an opportunity of catch- ing a few breaths of fresh air, such as it is, that blows ‘about the habitation of our conscript fathers. In the heat of the day thousands of persons were to be seen sitting on knolls of grass, stretched at length under the trees, or conversing or laughing merrily at the antics of @ troop cf mischievous urchins, who were firing devils, erackers, torpedoes, snakes, serpents, and every con- eetvable variety of Edge’s pyrotechnic imagination. The day was very bot and sultry; bat, nevertheless, people ‘were in excellent humor, and seemed determined to make the Dest of it, There was another great attraction that @aused so many to take up fixed positions about the City hand, personally superintending the arrangements for the grand exhibition which was to take place at night. Car. penters and other artisans were busily employed fixing and arranging the various delicate and complicated pieces, ‘whieh must have required so much skill and patience to preduce. The mechanism of these pyrotechnic creations ‘was indeed in many iastances perfectly wonderful. How ach an intricate and apparently confused arrangement of wheels, semicircles, sorpents, and all kinds of fireworks, evald produce such brilliant and splendid changes and ef- ‘fect, it was next to impossible to conceive. It required a ‘wast deal of care and attention on the part of the opera- ters to place the heavier pieces in their proper positions. Edge, therefore, @istants.

From every part of the city large bands were to be seen urging their ‘way rapidly towards the City Hall. The cars and stages had a difficult time of it, s0 frequently and completely ‘were their ordinary routes blocked up by a solid and g@arging multitude. The horses seemed glad and some- ‘what surprised at the frequent stoppages made by their @rtvers, and, no doubt, inwardly wished that the Fourth @f July would come alittle oftener in the course of or f i i the said. the i i is i i a: i E ii é | | a it i i i 3 i Bs 3 [ i i | i f § ! i al of A he t i | i ih ii ran Ht ee H i tai i u i I t H i i Hat rit i fia! i t ts i i it i if i He Hi i | i i i 1 f a i i l a E i i Ht il uf !
