Now the crowd became boisterous. and said they had been humbugged, and threatened to cut the ropes and bring down the tent, which made the women ery and scream and faint. This state of affairs continued for some time, but eventually.the women and children, many of whom were bratally trampled upon and bruised, were extricated from the crowd, and . se0n the tent-was~cleared, During the disturbance on tue inside a more lively drama was‘ being e: on the outside. Failing “to” obtain—admission after having bought tickets, a large number of men seized the ticket-wagon and ran down as far as Fourth Poplar street, where the police reoxptured it in the midst of a shower of bricks and @ few pistol shots. Two other purties seized the cook and pole-wagons, running them into the river. Several men received cut heads, and three arrests were made before the affair ended. Masons Poors ( (‘‘Perley"’) bought Geueral Banka’ old seat at the chair ‘auction, the other day, for $16. General Schneck's brought $19.
