There were about 12,000 people in the park. The trains brought some 10,000, and those that came in convey- ances and on foot, will swell the number close to the figures named. The day was beautiful, a pleasant breeze, and coo! atmoshere, with dust laid by a light shower early in the morning, was all that was needed to make it a delightful day. Three bands discoursed music, the pavil. ion was alive with those who delight in tripping the light fantastic toe, the lake aflorded pleasure to such as delight in boating; Harrison's restaurant fed the hungry, and the innumerable baskets by picnic groups, filled with the beet and richest of the season prepared by the wives and daughters of the farms, and the delicious ice cream at several saloons, etc., all contributed to satisfy any taste for eat, drink, and pleasure. There was no drunkenvess and the behavior all around was exceptionally good. The merry go-round was there to give you a whirl and a few booths to try your Juck in taking chances. To sum up: It was the greatest, most pleasurable, and orderly gathering yet held at Hecla.

If one hall the stories current, of divies, rakeoffs, leaks and wastes are true, the water works and all connected therewith deserve a thorough renovation, which might reduce expen. ses and relieve the excessive water taxes, Beckwith Jury Secured y Owing to the {llnessjof B.
