The Barbecue of last Wednesday ma by
much, the most perfect success ve have
trtf seen in that line in Northern Texts.
The preparations were excellent, and the
Barbecue Committee deserve the most no-
stinted praise. Indeed, for eleven days
they had wyked at the perfecting of the
details, the preparation of tbe ground, snd
the collection of food. With un simple
force, a naturally beautiful ground bad
been cleared up sufficiently, roads cut, pits
dig, a Platform and I urge arbor erected;
and comfortable scats for a multitude,'
firmly placed.- .The arbor and Platform
