The crowd could not bave been less than 8000, and may have been 10.000. Mr. R. Filson, of Somerset county, sitting on the porch of the Lutheran parsonage, on Thursday afternoon, count- ed all the rigs that came down the moun- tain on this side from 3 to 6 p. m,, and the number, on a careful count, reached 730. Then perhaps 200 rigs were still re maining over on the ground, for the night's entertainment. Fully as many conveyances came up from the other gide of the mountain, which would make a total of all kinds of vehicles on the mountain on Thursday, about 1800, These some averaged as having 4 to b persons, many wagons bad as high as 20 persons, the lowest being two in each buggy. This gives a fair estimate of the crowd, adding what came by rail and on foot, The sciopticon exhibition and lecture, by Mr. Long, on Thursday evening, we take it, was the most interesting feature of the entire pic nic, and worth a twenty mile’s drive to see it. A map of the Gettysburg battle field was shown upon the immense canvass, and all the move- ments of the Confederate and Union ars mies were shown, and the reasons there- fore explained by Mr. Long, in so intels ligible a manner, that any one could comprehend it, and would go away with a lasting impression of that great and de- cisive event, Illuminated scenes of the battle field were also shown, and their meaning given, Among the speakers, in the forenoon, was Col.
