Even the weather ac- Knowledges that something is expected, and the thermometer stands on tiptoe among the nineties, Friday and Saturday have been days warmed up to ‘tho occasion, and to-day especially, between twelve clock and three, Baltimore street has scarcely afforded a sight of a woman's dress, animation being suspended and perspiration having all its own way. Equally warm weather a week hence will put discredit upon a delay of any national con- vention whatsoever to a period so late Li the hot BQABON a bt inns aetna ate! pintisne “Political conventions,” said an old gentleman at the Colonnade, with a palmleaf fan in his hand, “ought to be held in the camp-meeting style. Go into the woods for ‘em, as we Methodists in Mary- Jand do, and bivouac! Get off experience for a week. Keep away from the brick pavements and tavern food. Why, tle saviors of the country will be carried off with suustroke as the thing goes wow!” THE PLACE FOR HOLDING THE CONVENTION, Iwent through ord’s Theatre to-day, the place of meeting for the democratic represcntatives, and found that, with the gas all lighted, it was a spot admirably adapted to expedite business of a | warm day. It standsin the wesvcrn end of the city, avout half a milo from the Carrollton Hotel and Barnumn's and only one block fom the Eutaw Hotel. The Washington Railway station is close at hand and handy for Southern delegates, and the new Potomac Railway station, which will commence running trains on the cheap line next Tuesday at a fare of sixty (some say eighty) cents, or half the price charged by tue old line, is no great way otf. FORD'S THEATRE is a new edifice on Fayette street by Eutaw, built 4n the new style, with Mansard pavilions, severa } entrances aud two galleries. The parquet and parquet circle will hold 800 persons, and the whole theatre will give seats to 1,800, although, no later than Friday night, on the occasion of a school exhl- ‘dition, there were 2,500 people crowded into it. It is small, however, compared to the buildings where the party conventions of the present year have been held, although larger than the Front Street Theatre and the Holliday Street Theatre— the latter also controlled by Mr. Ford—where pre- vious great national nominating conventions have met. The stage is about fifty feet deep. The flics ‘will be removed for the Convention, and a platiorm, inolined upward and backward, laid down to ac- commodate the ofiicers, the telegraph operators and 200 correspondents. Chairs, with leather seats, will be provided for these, and the seats In the body ofthe house are reversible, padded with leather and framed of iron, in sets. The colors of the house are buif and green, with gildings upon the iron columns and woven tron work enclosing the Galleries. The gas is lUghted by elec- trieity, and the wires are already carried into the house and the instruments attached by the Franklin, Pacific and Western Union Com- panies fur newspaper uses, All the side sceues will be taken from the stage during the proceed- tinge of the Convention. Committees must retire te the dressing 100ms below the stage or to one of the foyer rooms on the third floor front. ‘There are wix private boxes, and seats will be distributed, it fesaid, to the unnecessary and uncomfortable num- ber of 3,000 spectators, THE DECORATIONS. The proprietors of the theatre keep a bar for | oda and beverages generally in the saloon under the vestibule, and are now fitting up additional bars on the second and third gallery Noors, where there are commodious front apartments, so that beer and alcohol will not be wanting. The rich carpet will be taken up in the drawing room on the second floor, but tho fine portraits of actors in character there will not be disturbed. These pictures are the property of Mr. Ford, and are features in Keeping with the house and of a good deal of merit in themselves, They are nearly all by Baltimore artists, and comprise, per- haps, the best collection in the hands of any Ameri- can manager. These pictures are Joe Jefferson as Rip, by Allen 0, Redmond; George Holland, as Dog- berry, by W. A. Walker; Owens as Ollapod, by G. D’Almanie; the elder Warren as Falstait, by Saur- », Wein; Edwin Booth as Richard Ill; several good | Jandscapes, and, finally, a portrait of manager Ford, «himself historic as the owner of the theatre at «Washington where Mr. Lincoln was shot by Jolin “Wilkes Booth. ‘The Resident Committee takes charge: of the ~ theatre for the uses of the Convention, and has fully done its work. HOW THE DELYGATIONS WILL SIT. The seats in Ford's ‘‘heatre have been already Aistributed among the State delegations, and a plan of the theatre prepared to put the arrange- ment within the comprehension of every delegate. Maryland, with her sixteen delegates, sits in the extreme rear, farthest of allfrom the stage, hind even the eight Territories, which, with their two delegates apiece, sit in front of her, flanked by ‘Utah’s two votes and Nevada's six. The front row of seats immediately under the stage, in the par- FP will be occupied, on the right hand of the esident, by Maine, with her fourteen votes, and juisiana, With her sixtecn, on the President’s leit, Next behind comes Arkansas, with twelve deie- NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, JULY 1, 1872—WITH SUPPLEMENT, ‘ne house where each the coat-of-arms of the State so located and name of the State in full. The delegates will all enter by one lar door, and by the other main door lence ex- clusively. A triumphal arch 1s to be put upon the street in front of the theatre, and the whole exterior deco- Tated with fags and floral insignia. To-day the artist ts at work upon anew drop curtain, which is to fall about one-third of the way from the celling in front of the stage. The artist is Mr. Shaffer, a scenic painter, and the design re; resents a flag looped up, and beneath it an cag stretching half way across the stage, from whose beak files a scroll bearing the motto “Peace and good will, ‘The shields and banners to ornament the gallery fronts are nearly completed, and the entire ar- Tangements have been conceived, perfected and approved, + HOW THE B, [ORR NEWSPAPERS STAND. A good deal of the waywardness of the demo- cratic press on the subject of Mr. Greeley is to be accounted for on grounds of business rivalrics among the party newspapers. The richest paper here, the Sun, owned by a@ native of Connecticut, Was 80 prompt to say good words for Greeley that the Gazette, the other domocratic were took um- brage and fought shy. However, it is now very complacent and good natured for Greeley. The ae is owned by Henry Taylor, the Southern news nt; L. W. Weich, formers of Philadelphia, and W. H. Carpenter, who edits it. ‘The weekly press here is’ numerous and influen- tial, and nearly every paper of this class ip the city is for Greeley. You can see wha$ the tone is from some extracts, The Balitmorean, a handsome new weekly paper, says to-day, in its leading editorial :— The policy of the Mar; Jem. in ran in BOO or Mirsnart aad of Week rginta and nisi each and all was brillian 8 that whic should inspire the National Democratic Convention Which wilisoon assemble in this city. ‘Democrats of the stralghtest sect united in Mai nd in 1865 with men who had once driven tem from the pollsand perpeurated in- numerable oulrages upon the sacred right ot suffrage. They did this to rescue the State in the present from the hands of radicalism and hold it for the good of posterity in the future. And itis wort of notace that the first foreshadowing. of the application of such a policy for the residential election was made by a Balti- Thare papers-the Siatesan, August 24, 1g0-—which raid — e this Btate in 1866, and what the demo- crats of Virginia did last month, we are ready to doin 1872 for the Presidency.” It refers to Robert Toombs, of Georgia, thus:— Of all the so-called militia Generals in the Confederate rervice he was the most incom] nd innocuous, In proportion as he was removed rom prominent sharin, in the civil strife his words became more bel rent ant feroctous in time of peace. At this moment, when a final and unanimous effort is being made by all good if n of all parties to pacificate the country and restore an era. o} ood teeling And justice, such w speech as that of Room is crucl and heartless in the extreme to his own pepple and deserves the intignant denunctation of all who lo the South and desire the restoration ot her peace and prosperity, Here 18 an item of news in the same paper:— Our special Savannah correspondent thinks it highly probable that the Sabre Club of that beautiful Southern city will be In Baltimore Convention week. It is not known that they will bring their horses, or make ar- rangements to obtain chargers in Baltimore.

Ihave an engagement out of town, and shall keep it. “I do not recognize you as capable ot judging, or even fully apprehending ‘me. You evidently regard ing as & wea't sentimentalist, misled by a maudlin philosophy. T arraign you as narrow winded blockheads, who would like to ‘be useful in a ee and good cause, but don’t know how.

The Baitimore Weekly Sun—a largely circulated pa- per—says in to-day’s issue of Toombs, of Georgia :— It is the profound misfortune of the South, however, that it suits the purpose of radicalism to hold up such men as General Toombs representative Southern men. Such language as we have quoted was never heard trom the really representative men—tho Leos, the Johnstons, the Beauregards, or the eminent civilians, whether bear: ing military titles or not, who are the really representa- tive men of the South,and who rendered earnest and effective service to lyggyause In the time that tried men's souls, SIGNS OF THE TIMES. The stores here are full of Greeley song books, Greeley Nags and Greeley hats, and envelopes and Maen! paper stampes with Greeley's portrait abound. Good humor and even merriment prevail over the Teds even in the city where the first blood of the war was shed, It is thought that a Northern or Western man will be made presiding officer of the Convention. All the threats of out-of-door bolt meetings go for naught, and the Free Trade League will be as mef- fective here as in New York. A ballot will probably be insisted on by Greeley’s own friends make every thing formal, INTERVIEW WITH COLONEL WALLACE. Theld 9 conversation, a few days ago, with Col- onel Wallace, of Cambridge, on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, ab infiuential lawyer there, who com- manded a federal regiment raised in the State during the war. “Colonel Wallace, what is the feeling on the Eastern Shore about Greeley'’s nomination?” “Our people have made up their minds that it ts the best thing. Greeley has never interfered with anybody's rights, and we like him personally; for, being an agricultural community, we look with some enthusiasm upon his interest in our staple interests, and there is nobody that I know of, and none of the newspapers on the democratic side published on the Eastern Shore, which did not make up their minds to accept Greeley as soon as he was put in nomination at Cincinnati.” “Has Mr. Creswell @ good many friends on the Eastern Shore where he residest”” “{ think he is the most unpopular man in our region. With almost entire unanimity our people denounced his direct and unscrupulous interference with the Congressional election in 1862, when ho ran against Mr. Crisfield for Congress, and brought into our peaceful and inoffensive communities fed- eral soldiers and stationed them at every Eastern Shove ballot box. The Maryland people will never forget that act of wilful violence, and even among republicans I believe that Creswell is less popular than any other leading man in the State.” “ What was the case in hand, Colonel Wallace, of which you speak ¥”’ “You see, we were divided on the Eastern Shore into two Liebe called the radical party, the other the Union party. The Unionists, or the Union purty, Which was composed of the more conserva- tive people—for all our folks were opposed to going out of the Union—were far in the majority, and they put in nomination an old, responsible and ood citizen, Colonel Orisfield, It was resolved in Baltimore, ketween Henry Winter Davis and Rob- ert ©. Schenck and some others, to put up Creswell against Crisield, and carry him through by militar interference, I was known to favor Cri ld, an ust before the election I was ordered away from jome to report myself for court martial duty in Paitimore, and 80 were several other men who had taken up arms for the Union, in order to get them outof the way. When the people woke up on election morning they found soldiery sent over fiom Baltimore at Dasg polling place, and they had ieperee lisis of suc! ersons as should vote and sach as should not be allowed under any circumstances to vote. In this way Mr. Crisfeld’s own son was refused the OM of depositing his ballot at Princess Ann, and when the officers of election indignantly resolved to close the window and have no further mockery of that sort, the oMicer there threatened to put them under arrest. However, close the window they did, and there was no election at all, In our county of Dorset, which polls 2,500 votes, ony about one thou- ir. sand were cast, and Creswell was pronounced elected over Mr. Crisfeld by an act of despotism new to us in that part of the country, and which we are disposed never to forgive. Creswell is thought to be sup- orted to some extent by the large neans of Jacob ‘ome, Who married Mr, Creswell’s aunt and is the wealthiest inan east of the Chesapeake. Our part of the country will give Grecley a large majority in TOWN TALK, “fverything turns out for good," sald an enthe- siastic Greeley man to-day. “Had we been called to St. Louls our democratic soreheads would have cried, ‘It’s a set up job of the Gratz Brown men to tion ts to be, bearing | the Gerardstown, Berkley county, democratic in politics.

PINKNEY WHYTE, At the first moment when the nomination of Horace Greeley was announced here there was quite a feeling against him; but its extent and duration can better be described by relating an interview with the present eMcient Governor of the State, William Finkney Whyte, who 1s, perhaps, the best representative of the democratic party in the State, I called at his office for the purposes of an inter- view and found him, a8 usual, deep in the duties of his office, He invited me to a seat, which I took, and, after the usual salutations, began the conversa- tion upon political subjects. i Paks fanashe ly said I, “you are against Greeley, I ear “Oh no,” sald he, “that isnot true. Iam in favor of Mr. Grecley, as I believe nearly ever: democrat in the State is, When he was first nomi. nated there was a little hesitancy upon the many of our people here, because they did not know how the party generally were going totake the nomination. In fact, it took us all by surprise; put when it became apparent that he was acceptable to the party there was no holding back, and Ido not belleve there is a democrat in the State but tnat will give tim hearty support. The platform of the Cincinnati Convention could not have suited me bet- ter, and the only L leesneg im my mind,” said he, “was whether Mr. Greeley possessed the elements of strength necessary to make a successful run with our party upon that platform.”’ “T suppose,” said J, “that you have been assured upon that pointy’ “Yes, sir,’ he replied, “most satisfactorily as- sured, While my personal preference might have been for another candidate there is no doubt but that Mr. Greeley is the strongest man that could have been nominated. Here in Maryland we are a unit for him.” “The whole South appears to be In the same con- dition,” I remarked. “Can you account for their attachment to Mr. Greeley?” r. Greeley,” said he, ‘is honest, and the neo- le know it and believe in his honesty, and while hey of the South feel the effects of his hard efforts against siavery they firmly believe that now he is the representative of their advanced principles and ideas, and that he will make the same hard, honest efforts in their behalf as he did against them.” “You were for a time classed with the Bourbons; but you do not, apparently, belong to that class,” suggested. “Tam, I think, the last man to be classed with the Bourbons. There has not been an idea suggested be the logic of events a8 necessary for the wellare of the party that I have not embraced and urged upon it, and tho allegation that [ have opposed this present movement is totally unfounded.” “What do you think the action of the National Convention will be toward the Cincinnati noml- nees?’ | asked, “Why, sir, with all the light T can get upon the subject—and I rely considerably upon the HERALD for intormation—I do not belleve there will be any opposition to an endorsement of the platform and nominees of the Cincinnati Convention by acclama- tion, There may possibly be a few who Will desire to get up an opposition, but I believe the delegates will be so unanimous in his favor that all outside opposition will be silenced.” TALK WITH MARYLAND'S ATTORNEY GENERAL. After some further general conversation with the Governor I bade him good evening, and, passing to- ward the hotel, I met Pash General Syester, who lives in the western part of the State, a Hagerstown, and is one of its foremost politicians. After salutations had passed I asked, “How is Western Marylaud on Greeley 1” “Weare all for him up there,’ said he; ‘it's all | one way.’” “are you & dele; to the Convention ?” I asked. sear he replied ut Major Freaner, my part- ner, 18. “How is the State generally on the Cincinnati ticket ?” IT asked, “Why, there is not a prominent man in the State that Lknow of opposed to It, and very few any- where. I believe the Convention will endorse it by acclamation.”’ There bade him good evening and soon came upon BX-GOVERNOR PHILIP FRANK THOMAS, from the Eastern Shore, which is known as the Bourbon portion of the State. After Vawodit | the usual compliments I remarked, Governor, I be- lieve you are a delegate to the National Democratic Convention 7" “Yes, sir; I have the honor to be of our delega- tion to that Convention.” “How are your people on the Eastern Shore," I | asked—“‘for or against Mr. Greeley.” “Why, sir, the, equivocally for Mr. Greeley. He may not have been their personal preference, but they will give hima hearty support.” “Are your entire delegation in that Convention ‘exas and Nebraska dclegationsare the only At the St. Clair the they art of are all as I am, I belleve—un- | Fulton str Groesbeck, Adams or anybody in his stead. Like sensible men, however, they KEEP THEIR WOES TO THEMSELVES; only somtimes unvosom their aching learts to con- Jrcves like myself. ‘There is no doubt about it, not- withstanding the hurrahs of ily aya and penny oleciaa¢ t Strong antipathy to Greeley exists ob a the State. But Grant is disitked still more heartily. The Maryland democrats would rather have almost any repubtican than either of these two; but of the two prefer to pat Horace’s back and call him good little boy. The fact is the South has made a grievous mistake; has piscged itseit for Greeley too soon, before it found out what the North was going to do; has given Greeley ITS HAND, BY NO MEANS ITS HEART. The Philosopher's diatribes mi te pe war; his long and determined enmity to States’ rights; his bitter denunciation of the South and warning that she must beware, Naunted in the Tribune's columns not so many months ago—all these stick in the craws of Southern cavaliers, who neither forgive nor forget, But Grant they hate with still more bitter- ‘ness of spirit, for he was the prominent instrument. in crushi ng them ag’ whereas Greeley, in the midst of bitterest Invectives, stood Jem Dav! il. Now, the only wayin which the Philosopher's advocates can keep the Southern element true to the white hat is by putting that same ‘‘white hat’’ under a big umbrella, and General Grant, plus General Grant’s surroundings, out in the ring eping Horace quiet; by braying loudly louse misdeeds, if there be any. Thus the matter assumes the form of a crusade against bee Greeley’s obliquities, quips and quirks will je into gloom, Keep Horace still. Let him to Chappaqua. Don’t have him meddling here in Baltimore; our People can’t stand it, That bland old face would revive a thousand bitter memories which would ORUSH THE OLD WHIE HAT LIKE AN RGGSHELL. Though the country has rung with the welkin cries of Greeley’s following, I don’t really believe the democratic masses buried deep in primeval forests can be got tothe poles of their “brother agricul- turist.”” Greeley’s absurdities are what they can’t stomach, and won’t stomach. The President of the State Convention—Colonel James T. Earle—repre- sents the most democratic, perhaps, of all the State districts. He votes for Greeley, but hundreds of his constituents declare a heart-felt desire to kick that gentlemen down the back door steps of public omMce for what they consider most undemocratic behavior. Old backwoodsmen shake thetr fists and shriek out—‘‘I vote tor Greeley. I what helped to elect every dimicrat we've had down to old Buck? I—nary 'tall.” Said an ancient democrat to me—I won't disclose his name as he has an jnane aversion toward “getting in the oaerenate honest men of our party don’t want Greeley; of course I refer to our leaders, now. We, who saw the party born, don't want Greeley, We've been forced into taking him by office seekers, who hope to have a chance under the ‘new administration,’ Why, sir, if we vote for Greeley—if we elect Greeley, where’s our mans sir; where's the democratic party ¥? “Nowhere nationally,” said [, “Yes, exactly 80; that’s why [say we who are honest, who want to see the party live, can’t abide Greeley ; for with Greeley elected we die. These wire- you don’t care a damn for party, and so are for ireeley. The Convention here is packed—worse’n at Gincinnatl.”” “But,” sald Tl, “may you not just as well die? zonnare pe principles very distinct from the re- publicans. PSS mehteh £e:e Ne looked solemnly at me. “fr, we have State rights still to uphold; we have centralization still to oppose!” “Whew!?? said I. ‘Jeff Davis come back to life, Pray, sir, how many of your party are of your opinion” Which being answered [went my way, Another modest and shrinking politician, who must be nameless, said to ie :- fhe trouble about this matter is, that our party is not so thoroughly drilled as Grant’s. Our leaders are all for Grecley, but not so the rank and file, We can’t dragoon them into {t either—they'll vote Just as their stub. born prejudice dictates, I do belie ow, that if Adams or some popular man were put in the fleld, the whole South would quickly change base, The North, you kuow, would have very little changing to do. There is here in Maryland a Jarge class of stay-at-home democrats—these men won't come out for Greeley, because they have their doubts as to whether he is as much of a dem- ocrat at heart, or even as liberal at heart, as General Grant. If a man they could trust, a stable man, like Adams or Trumbull, for whom we might get up a little enthusiasm, should be presented Wo might drag these fellows out of their dens. They hold the balance of power, but don’t seem at all disposed to use It.’’ The poifticians here are for ANYTHING TO BEAT GRANT— te, for Greeley. Judges Bartol, Robinson, Miller, Brent, Stewart and Alvey are said to side thus. f cailed on one of these gentlemen the other di From amid the fumes of a Havana he thus ora larly delivered himself:—‘In favor of Greeley! Not by along shot. I wanted our people to do as the Baltimore Gazette said—that is, to put forward Adams or some other liberal man as our choice im- mediately on Greeley’s nomination. They didn't do it, and so our chance to ‘wedge in’ is lost. Still I shall vote for Greeley in preference to Grant.” I tried to “get at” Governor White, but he flits about 8o, first here and then in Baltimore, that I found it @ matter impossible. He is said, however, to follow the general current in favor of Greeley. MUSIC AND THE DRAMA. —-—___—_ Raustlings from the Wings. “Schneider” pursu es the even tenor of his way at the Olympic.

He returned shortly afterwards and made an onset on Casey, stabbing him three timesin the back and ence in the right temple. The wounds are of a serious nature, though not necessarily fatal. to answer. Three Men Shot in Park Row, Last evening, as the church bells were ringing forth their peals of invitation for all who wished to enter and worship God, the foot passengers in Park row and those who were enjoying the evening breeze, after a day of intense heat, in the City Hall Park, were suddenly startled by the report of three shots and the cries of ‘“mur- der” and “police.” Suddenly every one was anxious to know what the reason of this was, and their curiosity was soon gratifled by seeing three indlviduais helped into the Park Hospital. Upon inquiry the following facts were gained:—James Duty and William MeCattery, who have recently ar- rived from tho JERSEY SWAMPS, are the minor part of the faction, while James Driscoli is the representative of another. These two clans met In combat some few days the Driscollites were defeated, This dently rankled In their manly bosoms, yeaterd at about eight o’clock P. M., Duly and McCaffery, who had just returned from a trip to Long Branch with a y. riends, Were met in Park row by Driscoll and his party. Without a word of warning Driscoll and one of his gang drew their revolvers and fired three shots, wounding | Duffy in the back and MeCatrery in the shoulder, Anice, quiet, respectable old gentleman, who was | sitting on one of the Park seats, was seen to start and exclaim “OM sHoT 1? and upon examination it was discovered that he was wounded in the leg and that the ball was lodged in it, This gentleman's name was Mr, James Dawson, Upon h:aring the shots fired Om- cer O'Sullivan, who was on duty at the time, rushed forward, and, drawing his pistol, threatened to shoot Driscoll if he moved. His companion, who fired the other shots, | escaped, but the police seem to think they can easily find him. Driscoll is a low-sized, ruflanly looking fellow, and was exceedingiy noisy and toul-mouthed while in the hospital, threaten- ing vengeance on each and every one. When arrested the pistol was found in his hand. The wounds inflicted on Dutly and McCaffery are not of a serious nature, but with Mr. Dawson it 1s differ- ent, owing to his age. Livery attention was paid by the house surgeons at the hospital to the wounded men, and the ball was successfully ex- tracted from Mr. Dawson's leg. Both the wounded men and the prisoner, who is locked up, are at present occupants of the Fourth ward police sta- tion. Upon examination at the Park Hospital the wounds of all three of the men shot were found to be very slight ones, and they were able to walk home. Crimes and Casualties.

Yesterday and Saturday have been the hottest days we have experienced thus far this season. The rays of the sun poured down and were reflected from the pavements and buildings with great inten- sity. The thermometer, on Satnrday at three P. M., ‘was 94 degrees, and yesterday, at the same hour, was 98 degrees. During the evening the heat subsided, but pedestrians sought the shady side o1 the streets. All who were able remained indoors, and with the joint aid of fans and cooling drinks, endeavored to assuage the ills to which heat had subjected them. The steamers were all crammed with a crowd of pleas- ure-seekers, seeking rest and recreation beside crystal streams, under the shade of friendly forests, where the rays of Old Sol were partially offset by the umbrageous foliage. To walk along the streets yesterday and Saturday was fraught with peril to those compelled to expose themselves. The following cases of sunstroke were reported by the police :— Mary Coman, aged twenty-eight years, was found prostrated on the corner of Bayard and Baxter streets, and sent to Bellevue Hoapital. Richard Cunningham, of Mott street, near Prince, Was discovered in Nassau street, Sent to the Park Hospital, Mary Graham, of Hunter’s Point, was overcome while working in the laundry at Twenty-second street and Eleventh avenue, Philip Cook, aged twenty-seven, died suddenly at 807 Ninth avenue, Frederick Ortenter, aged seventy-two years, was mans in Prince street, and taken to Bellevue Hos- pital.

The warmest Sabbath of the summer yesterday called forth from their houses a number of people, estimated to have exceeded the exodus of any day of the season, There was @ fierce, steady concen- tration of heat thrown upon the city by the sun all day. There was not a flurry of rain, no tampering breeze, no gaudy clouds to break the force of the sun's rays. They were shot forth with unfinching flerceness from tneir frst appearance in the east until thefr farewell shafts were shot forth from the west. The roofs of houses were baked, and upper story rooms felt like ovens. People attempted to take naps in them and came out done to «a turn, All the energy left in the good people of New York under such broiling expenierce was devoted to seeking a cool place in the country. People fed to Central Park with the haste that characterized Lot and his family under similar circumstances, Of all the inviting spots | advertised this bower of coolest foliage, planted right in the midst of the city, is most eligible. No dusty steam cars and no crowded boats are needed to reach it. Man's physical frame is not tortured | and worn beyond the realization of its beauties and charms before he gets to it, The rough ele- ment avoids it, It is too cheap for the cropped hatr canaltile, and the gray-clad policeman is too | hearly ubiquitous within {ts premises. Peace and | order, innocent enjoyment and summef delights are found within its limits, under its arching vines, within its groves, upon the bosom of its lakes, in the midst of its roses and in the cool shades of its | trees and rocks, whieh the rude element that finds its surest prey at Coney Island and on the excursion boats cannot appreciate, It is the garden of the rich and poor alike, paid for by all, open to all on the same footing and enjoyable by all to the same extent. ‘There were at least fifty thousand visitors at the park yesterday, @ larger army tiam the United States or many kingdoms‘of Europe has in uniform. All the pecuilar characteristics of a homogenious population were represente The ay, laborer, with his wife and little ones; the well-to-do me- chanic, with his joyous family; the shop girl, with her young man; the servant girl and her “steady company ;” the little Arabs of both sexes; the poor clerk of a shabby-genteel order; the rich who camt get away to the watering places; the young bloods who are holding off until the summer season is at its height before they venture upon their vacation ; f the crowded neighborhoods seeking the pure air; all sorts of people repre- sented {n the cosmopolitan population of New York were there, dressed in their best and enjoy- ing themselves in their own way to the utmost. Crowds sat upon the mail and watched the meagre procession of carriages go by. Crowds sailed over the silvery lake: groups Inspected the counterfeit presentment of the Divine Wiillam, and masses gathered about the museum. «, Everywhere the serene enjoyinent that nature give ent; and the strong advocacy of temperance that Cen- tral Park makes in drawing men away from foul barrooms and the flerce stimulants of drink was evident in the more orderly demeanor and the more rational pieasure of so large a portion of the | population.
