Celebrating the Anniversary of the Discovery of America by the Great Columbus—Vhe Ltalian Guards at Jones? Wood Yesi fusic, Dancing and Shootiag—Addy the Vice Consul of Utaly aud Disiribution of Prizes. ‘ The fifth anniversary of the discovery of America by Christopher Columbus was celebrated yesterday at Jones’ Wood, wader the auspices of the Italian Rite Association, Kaown among the Italian rest- dents of New York as the “Columbo Guard.” | This celebration would seem to be a fitting chapter im Stalao history, and equally tnter- esting to the American public, put,’ as in the case of their procession a few weeks ago. the elements yesterday were aecide lly averse to the carrying of thetr project properiy into execu- tion. Tnen the giant Aquafluens neatly foated everything, including the maidens in delicate rat- ment, and the thonsands of silken banners hung downward as if in despair. Yesterday Ventosas, strong, cold and uncomfortable, cast disorder into the ranks of the festive Itallans, and rendered it anything but a day for outdoor pastime. Early in the morning the “Colombo Guard,” fully accoutrea and dressed in their new dress, representing. the sharpshooters usually employed by Garibaldi, le(t their headquarters, at the Fifth Regiment Armory, and marched to the Clty Hall, where they formed tn line, and tien tuok the cars, in accordance with a previous arrange- Ment with the ‘third Avenue Company, to Jones’ Wood, Here everything seemed cheerless. The wmd whis led through the almost leafless Ywanches ol the long-stemmed trees, butit did pot sound like “music in the air,” and the strains of marital music from Grafulla’s band had but little influence on the spirlis of the men, who had arrived at the conciusion that the day Was most unpropitious. At the hotel and dancmg rivk near the river side matters did uot look much more encouraging. The HUGE HALLS, VACANT AND HOLLOW, re-echoed the rustling of the dry leaves that rattled } Across the foor in thick layers, whule the splashing | of the water of the river seemed to chi¥ one to the heart, and but for the passing of an occasional schooner or yacht to vary the monotony it would have been at that hour a miserable place. ‘There Were no decorations, not even a fag representing aly, or a piece of linen with the figure ot te.or Emmanuel or Mazzini daubed upon it. No festoons or Chinese lanterns repre senting the fashion of anniversaries of their parent lan.d were to be seen; no paintings Of glorious Como, or, What would have been more appropriate, something to represent one of the greatest men known to moiern historiaus—Chris- topner Columbus, The weather had evidentiy dls- pitted the originators of the movement. Up to | one o'clock not more than alundved persons had } assembled, although at that hour dancing—the | Most important part of the programme, as far as | the ladies were concerned—was to be commenced, The “olomvos’” under the command of Captain RK, Castelvechi, and the festivai was in charge of ® committee consisting of the fol- lowing Italian geutiemen:—Gion Vavagnaro, G. De- martini, A, Podesta, Bacigalupo, G. P. Seccul de Casali, and Messis, Fardella, Corvadi, Manara, Campora and Canepa.

Having concluded their shooting contest the Guards assembled on the same piatiorm to rvceive the prizes trom the hands of Chevalier Paolo Baimotti, Vice vonsul of italy, who had promised to hand them to the successful competi- tors. The music being hushed, a table was drawn into the centre of the rink, with the prizes, consist- ing of gold, suver and currency, meerschaum pipes, articles of utility, umbrellas, &c., laid out upon it. Mr. Batnottt and hts friends svood around the tavie, and these were surrounded by the soldiers, THE VICK CONSUL’'S ADDRESS, Addressing the officers the Vice Consul sifd he was “happy to meet bis compatriots at sucn a ume and in commemoration of one of the greatest eveuts in the world’s history.

Resolutions expressing the deepest sympathy for the sufferers and pledging further aid were adopted by acclamation. A committee was appointed, with Mr. J. S. Morgan and Mr. Schenck at its head, to procure additional subscriptions tn London and throughout the king- dom, and there is every rewion to expect that a very large suin will be raised. Expressions of sympathy were received by telegraph and by mait from all parts of the country, and read by the Chairman, FRANKFORT, Oct. 12, 187 As soon as the news of the terrible fire at Chicago reached here an extra edition of the German-American Economist was issued, giving such details as were known and calling for prompt action on behalf of the sufferers.
