Secretary Charles Foster brought the most variagated assortment of political rainoows with him when he returned trom Ohio that has rnneri to the saze of the public- Ac- itrirdinir to him the national election is already settled and aU the money that will be spent be tween this and the 8th of next sovemoer wiu dmniv he thrown away. His modesty In mak ing claims is something quite as wondertul as his manipulation of the figures which show, or are supposed to show the amount oi casu sur plus in the United States Treasury; ne is poei tio that evcrv northern (using the word to rep resent all except the southern States) State will be carried by Harrison and Reid..ana.atieas six of the southern States. It Is ".not clear why he dees not claim all the electoral votes. Such aftiaim would not he .a whit more ridiculous than those he has made. He should have known tht these absurd claims would cause his rain .t.t.mcnu hout the condition of the Ti-ensnrv. riven out at the same time, to be dis .dii m stories, like people, are usually inured bv the company they keep Mr Foster's rainbows, which are obviously on a par with the small boy who is not a bit afraid," but whistles with all his might while going through the dark places, nave nau a irTv r ffect to what he intended and expected r.....i. i huriev " as Mr. Foster is now called, is so well known as a tricky individual i ro-tiers oolitical. that his rosy talk has sen ously alarmed .many republicans who believe that he has discovered some new ana Yer nna Annirer to the republican party, and that his stock of rainbows has been brought forward in order to distract attention from this danger To democrats Mr. Foster's exhibition is only an .nnnl show, which although not prepared specially for them.'is being .greatly enjoyed by them , Th r reasons for the belief that the ad ministration is doing all it can to have the date lor the meeting of the international monetary MnbrnM set so late in the fall as to make it ,nin that the result of the con ference cannot be known before the Presidential election, in order that republican stump speakers and ed-..- m n v have an opportunity to influence h- nretendinz to forecast tbat result. Mr n.rrisonandhis puppets who ate managing .i Tnnaiirn will have a much more exalted opinion of the intelligence ot the American voters on the morning of the 9th of November than thev appear to have at the present lime According to an cflieial opinion of the Attor Bey-General, whioh suspicion .points to having been dictated from Loon f Lake, made public .hi. wrek. the good people of Vicksburgh Miss., must continue to bsve their city post office unaided over by the notonouB .negro ad venturer whose nomination' the republican ftanate refused to confirm . The Attorney-Gen eral ho'ds. or at least pretends to that a failure to confirm the nomination of a Postmaster who nnssession of a postoffice before the a ssem bling of the session of Congress iwhich fails to act on the nomination, leaves him the legs postmaster until his successor Is nominated. If that be good law tne poeiomce aeimruiwut from the foundation of the government, has in similar cases been acting illegally. Hiri. Mnrcan. of Alabama, is in town. He U a strong advocate of retaliation on Canada and thinks tbat Mr. Harrison's proclamation should have prohibited the shipment of Cana dian goods through the United states. The Revenue Marine hospital bureau ;is tak ing active measures to prevent the introduction of cholera into any ot our ports by any of the linn Tiinninz from Hamburg or Havre where the disease is reported to be rap idlv sDreading. All "steamships arriving from those and other foreign ports iare to be rigidly Inspected and if any traces of the disease are found they will be quarantined and thoroughly disinfected before being allowed to land their passenger?, .-,,. The republicans here are doing lots of talk ing about breaking the " solid south" this year but when a democrat made ahe rounds offering t3 wager any part of $50,010 at odds of two to one that Harrison nd Keid would not get a single southern State's electoral votes no taker "could De found. It is the belief of many shrewd observers tbat prominent republicans are doing so much talking about their expecting to carry Southern States with tne hope ,of causing the Homrwraiin managers to lessen their efforts towards carrying the northwestern States. Reunion of Old Sailors and Soldiers. Two coming important events of interest to sailors and soldiers of the late war will be the Reunion of the Naval veterans at Baltimore September 15th to 19tb, and the Encampment of the Grand Army of the uepnoiic as r asmngwD commencing September 2Uth. immediately after the Sailors' Keunioa. Interest in tne reunion Will be heightened by the presence ot the Whi:e Sunadron in the harbor oi Baltimore, ine u. A.. B. Encampment will be the occasion of the greatest military assemblage in wasningran since tne Grand Beview of 1F65. following the fall of Eichmond. For both of these events the Baltimore and Ohio Bailroad will sell tickets at ir really reduced rates, and will grant most liberal concessions in the way of stop-over privileges. Tickets will be sold from Septem ber 18th to 20th inclusive, valid for return jour ney until October 10th, and will be good to stop off, going or returning, at all stations between Cumberland and Baltimore a region rendered familiar to all veterans by the constant warfare along the Potomac, For more detailed inform ation as to time or trains, rates and sleeping car accommodations, apply to nearest B, & O. Ag't, roans in PICHIC HELD Thursday, August 25th, -at- BRADY LAKE! Picnic day dawne'l in the delicious coolness of a sun-veiled August morn. A night of inter - mittent thunder storms banished the heat spectres of the preceding day, and furnished a temperature fit for Eden itself. The face ot nature was radiant with joyous beauty, and smiled .in benedictive gladness on tbe happy mortals who arose to greet her. The flex le dame for once assumed the dignity of a constant character, and practically fulfilled her morning promise of an ideal gala day. although she in vited a mild criticism towards ib close by showering a few tears on tbe assembled thou sands at Brady. However this was a mere dash of pli-tn ry. gocd naturedly met by tbe sloiil taneous raising of myriad umbrellas wild which, like sensible people, most of tbe visitors bad supplied themselves. With this slight ex ception ibe day challenged the admiration of tbe pleasure seeking multitudes, Witn such a day. c.me ef course, great ex pectations, but no one was quite prepared for the actual results tbat lollowed. Cur after car and train after train were emptied of their basket-laden occupants, who marched a verit able army, into and along the road leading to beautiful Brady. Some idea can "be gained from the number of tickets sol j from this place alone, wnich was 9UO, besides a large number who uuia their tare on ibe trains Great as w ue number who took tbe "iron hor.-e" route iiire Were at least five limes as many who went in horse conveyances. "Ibe woods were full ut them," apparently a horse for every tree, and WOO is a very moderate estimate of the number ot people on tbe grounds. It was one of the largest (gatherings ot people that have ever assembled on tut shores ot famous Brady , Ureal as was the attendance last year, that of last f hursda.) eclipsed it by many hundreds Not only uid fiavenna turnout en masse, but untold numbers iioni i ilfcli boring townships respond eu to tbe invitation given It was a day tor the multitudes Mercnauts, farmers, artisuus,pro- leasional men there were none. 'X'here was no one present but, men. women and cnildren, a picnic convention ot bumanity, a complete ex impiiflcauoj of tbe brutheibood oi man." It was a busy thiong. There was something for .everybody and somebody for everything, there were toree .Bands ot music, the W,tt Hand, of Vt indbain, a most excellent organize tion, which has plaed its way iito the guod graces ot critics every wbere, the Atwater Band ot which the people of that town are justly proud, and of whom it may be Baid that they always perform well; the iutvenna City Band which, considering the age and experience ot a targe portion of its members, is a remarkable body ot musicians. In addition to these was Humphrey's famous Great Western Band, of Akron, which is staying at the Lake Among ihem all there was an abundance of excellent music all day long, which Js always oneot the best features of such occasions. A musical syecronis sometimes occurred with tbe sounds of band and merry go-round organ, tne effect of which was much like a duet between a bull rrog and a soprano, but undoubtedly someone enjoyed the battle of notes, and we have heard ot no deatbs resulting. Everything in the amusement line was well patronized. Water-nymph, steamboat, row boat, and bathing suits reaped a bar vest for the owners, to say nothing of the hurricane rides on the switchback and the whirls in the merry- go-round. The delight of tbe children was to ride bemnd tbe ponies around tne track. The only trouble was that the track was not long enough, the ,litiie onss hardly commencing to enjoy the sport betore it was oyer. Tbe game of Ball between Bavenna and Gar rettsviUe teams was- delayed until nearly noon by tne late arrival of certain ones of the visiting club. This delayed the game between Bavenna and Edinburgh teams. The teams in the first game were as lollows : tiarrettsvilles Cole s s. Manly 3rd, Daniels Sad. Bogrand c. Hatch 1st, Beed p. Udallc f. B. M. Manly If. Bavennas Seymour 1st, Andrie 3rd, Lord c Nunemakerp. Byanss, Elson 2nd, Longcf, Augbenbaugb r f. Cox 1 f . Gordon Meek was umpire, and ; before finish ing tbe game they put in umpire Manly was put for.the Garrettsvilles. In tbe first inning GarrettsviUe failed to score, and Bavenna scored 7 times; in the sec ond Bogrand scored for the visitors, and three goose eggs were placed to Bavenna's credit. Ibe game was interesting throughout, and a good deal of enthusiasm was (manifested when GarrettsviUe went to bat for tbe last time. Bo- grand picked up the cmb he carried all the way from Cleveland to play with, i he second ball that came over the plate he hit with all his strength, and it went sky ward. It was a "two bagger" and no mistake There were two men out, Hatch reached 1st and went to 2nd on passed ball, a discussion arose on a decision and Clark slipped tbe boll to second; isum m ker m ide the runner believe be bad the sphere When Hatch led off from 2nd, he was .promptly put out. retiring tbe side. Tbe score stood i6 to 11 in favor.of Bavenna, without playing their last inning. The players in the afternoon game were Edinburgh Merwin, Tuning, Bobinson, Goss Scbultz. Bart ley, Gilbert. Cope, Jackson. Bavdnna Ernest. .Landrigan, Byan. Whit- lock. Clark, Lee. Pnmpbrey. Harre. Miller Baker, of Edidburgb, umpired behind tbe bat and Bumm, of Bavenna, in the field. Again tbe home team took the field. Tbe visitors scored twice Tufting and Schui'.z being tbe people, truest started the ball a rolling for Bavenna with a sky-scraper, reachig third be tore tne b .U could be recovered, bix uniogs were closely contested, when it was evident the elements uid not approve of the game. The rain commenced to tall and someone called - game." and without waiting to know whether the game was called or not,;a number of players gathered up their belonging and started for siielter. Some remained, however, and both sides claimeu the game, Though the score was 9 to 7 in favor of Bavenna, the Edinburghs claimed tbat tbe game had been forfeited bj tbe home team leaving before the umpire called the game. After considerable wrangling over rules the matter was finally left with such of the committees as could be found, whoawarded the prize to the visitors, the home club refusing to ptay tne game o ve r or divide the purse. Tbe Pony race was called about on time, and there was no lack ol candidates for the contest it was decided to make it a time race, each rider to use the same pony. T he first to start was Wallie Fletcher, who, by the way, is a perfect little herstman, and was eager for the sport. He soon baa the pony going like the wind, when the animal struck a slippery place and fell with bis rider. It was a terrific turn ble. 1 he boy ws picked up in an insensible condition. He struck on bis left side, and an examination showed that his left shoulder was badly injured, Ms left leg sprained, arm b idly lacerated and a bad shock sustained at the base of Ihe brain. It was some time before he re covered consciousness. He was taken home in tne afternoon, and while his injuries are not permanent in character, be was unable to leave his bed for several days, but is improving rap idly at present. There were four other con testants in the race. Thomas Kinney. Henry .Baker, Charlie Green and Fred Eatinger. Tbe first prizj was won by Eatinger, who made tbe trip in 95 seconds, while second prize was awarded to Baker. Had it not been for the ac cident this race would have been thoroughly enjoyed by all. In tbe Ladies' foot race, tbe distance run was 70 feet. 1 here were five starters, and tbe race was closely contested. Miss Pleasant Willyard of Bavenna. won first prize, and Miss Nora Beaid, of Columbus, a camper at Brady, took second. Among a bost of competiors, Miss Eliza Postal, of Dean.O., throwing a ball tbe farthest was awarded tbe prize. She went at it in man style, which is more than can be said of some of the others, who demonstrated fuily, if not comically, the peculiarities of the female arm when used in such an art. The ball went every way but back of tbe throwers, causing a duck ing ot beads among tbe spectators, more than one of whom got it in the face. Just off from the bath house a huge turkey was suspended by the feet from a line in tbe center of a large rope circle. Twelve " turkey hunters" were blindfolded, by having paper caps drawn over their heads, and being tagen in different directions, were started on tbeir " hunt in the dark" for tbe coveted prize. Un fortunately for the long continuance of the sport, a root of a tree projected from the ground immediately nnder the turkey, which fact was noticed by two of the hunters, who very scon found their landmark. One reached up his hand and passed it within a bairs breadth of the dead gobler and was clawing the air when Harry Smith quietly reached up and secured the prize. Tbe game of Quoits programmed for the day was pitched near the ball grounds and was wit nessed by quite a crowd of those who love the sport. Four sets, 16 pitchers, entered the con. test, the winners of two out of three games be. ing matched and so tbe game proceeded to a finish. C, M, CraTie and J H. Evans carried off the honors and the bats. Tbese two gen tlemen have long been the terror of tbe ring in GarrettsviUe wbere in times past they made a daily practice of slaughtering the foolish vie- tims who had the temerity to enter against them. Even - Uncle Billy Goodsell." of that famous quoit pitching town, was not in it. During the game of ball between Edinburgh and Bavenna, Alexander Lowrie, who with the crowd of spectators had pushed up to an unsale proximity to tbe batters, reu ived a " foul ball" fquare on the nose At first it was thought his nose was broken but this was subsequently de nied. It was a terrib e blow, at all events. A little girl was also strnck in the face, but we did not learn of any serious injury resulting. The funniest thing on the program was the Tub Bace, in which there were nine starters. Of course everybody said Diogonese and bis tub." It was a natural similitude, but if Diog onese did not take more comfort in his classic cask than the most of his Brady Lake emulators we are not much inclined to commiserate the old fellow in his self imposed ostracism. The capsizings and collisions, flounlerings end duckings, were enjoyed by the spectators, who cheered the luckless voyageurs quite as heartily as tbe few who were more successful, in man aging the novel sea craft It is said tbat tbe winner. W. J. Nichols, ol Freedom, naa prac ticed in bis fathers' cow pond, and tbat one or two otbers had familiarized themselves with the " fine points" in a similar manner. At all events Nichols was a leader from tbe start. making the trip without a break. He was closely followed by Herman Jones of this place, who got entangled in the weeds and was thrown back to second place. Briggs Oakley, also of Ravenna, captured third. In tbe Farmers' Foot Bace there were seven starters and the prizes were awarded as fol lows: aiich.iel Finch. 1st; Frank Myers 2nd: M. Fink 8rd. The contestants in the Merchants' Egg Race were. W. . Judson, tieo. Baiter, r. r. .nt:p man. A. B. Davis, A T. Smith, F. C. Park. C . Beckley. D M. Clewell. G. H. Smith. B. M- Madole. Great merriment was made in this race by a misunderstanding among the con testants, some thinking it was a walking in stead of a running race .It certainly was very comical to see those in the rear of tbe runners religiously watching their eggs long after the race was over. J, O- Beatty was judge, and awarded first prizs to Judsun, and second to Baker. Mrs. H F. Smith carried off the prize for the best score made at the shooting gallery. Mrs. Maria MuUosky, of Cleveland. being her closest competitor. Thus ended the program ef sports, butnot the pleasures of the day Tbe dancing pavillion was the mecca tor scores of tbe " nimble trip pers," whose " steps kept time to music's chime," in many c. round ol terpsichorean gayity. A great company of merry revelers stayed until tbe last train, at lS :80, and were heartily sorry when the hour for borne arrived. I'he music was by Bowman & McAffee's or chestra. Like Chan Ting's huge firecracker, the day was lively ani brilliant, but too short lived in its glories. But eerybody eijoyed them to the fult while they lasted, and the second antsiij outing was a splendid success. We did no hear a .single complaint from anyone during the day. and have heard of none since. The accidents which we .have mentioned were tbe only unpleasant features, and such misfortunes are likely to happen on any similar occasion. That these grand sccial comminglings may be come a fixture of each succeeding year, is we are su e, the de?ire of all who were there. SHALERSVlUiE.
