[From Our Special Correspondent.]
BUFFALO. N. Y., June 17.—Ferbaps the
mast striking thing about this city et the
present time b the weather. I don't know
just exactly what the weather is striking for,
but whatever the demands, tt seems to me
there will have to be a compromise some-
where before long The public is aecoming
exhausted in its futile efforts to keep pace
withtthe weather's vagaries, and is bowling
for a settlement of the difficulties and a re-
turn to something approaching a business-
like basis. As matters stand at present no
man can venture to leave his residence in the
mornlnz without carrying an extra change
of clothing, and as swain out of every ten
of the business men of Buffalo go to
their respective pia:asset business on bicycles,
this enforcement of extra baggage is a
serious inconvenience. It ain't ea bid on the
days which start In bot and end cold, as it is
on the days (and we have bad lata of them
lately) which begin with a crispness that
makes pea -jackets and ulster. comfortable,
and wind up with tropical intensity. It is
then that the bicycle, as a scriztituts for the
couple or even the horse car, betrays its dis-
advantages The spectacle of a business man
in loose cool flannels, trundling home an
assortment of furs with his long whiter ulster
dragging its tails in the duet behind the little
wheel of his steel horse, while Ws rider is
afraid to stop lest either a snow squall or a
thunder 5tPrm risrertake ]tuns ' sxag.O1 Y
to thosewho do not ride "the wheel."
The rumpasr•which has obvtonsly been
,ping. on !n. thmefflea.-of_-the-•Weather Clef
will however, I predict, prove es nothing to
the row which is brewing in the office of the
Buffalo City Council And it's all about
Fourth o' July. It seems that a committee
of the Council was recently entrusted with
the important mission of devising means of
suitably celebrating, the glorious Fourth, and
that this committee has laid out a programme
which calls for the expenditure of $2,950,
variously allotted to fireworks, rowing races,
clay pigeon shooting, baseball games, hal-
loon ascensions, yacht radix and gun powder
salutes. Here is a variety of sport which
ought to be dirt cheap at the figure named,
but unhappily there are "kickers" among the
taxpayers. Buffalo is not a niggardly city
by any.means: • With scarcely- en effort 1t
has to date raised the handsome amount of
$24,435,26 for the Johnstown sufferers, but
there are a good many people who do not ex-
actly see why the aldermen should be allowed
to vote away the people's money in the sub-
sidizing of ball games, shooting matches, eta
Hence the difficulty.
It isn't to be wondered at that there should
be a row over the proposed item of $250 for
a baseball match. Baseball is a subject con-
cerning which the people of this city have a
right to b. sensitive. The official reoord to
date shows the International club barks the
name of the queen City to be the last in the
race for fame. There does not appear to be
any club in the International league which is
not prepared at a moment's notion to pick up
the Bisons and "wipe the ground with them."
As a consequence of thia lamentable fact,
Buffalo is losing its interest in the national
game and.the new grounds of the club, which
have been removed from an arlstocratio
neighborhood where they were formerly sit-
uated, to a more distant site out on Main
street, are no longer thronged with enthusi-
asts.
While it is true that there can be found in
the United States a good many people, still
. outside of the lunatic asylums. who argue
that a lapse or interest in baseball is evidence
of a city's decline, facts and figures seem to
prove that Buffalo is getting along very well
in spite of the fact that her ball club is made
up of "chumps" The tax assentnent roils of
the present year show ad Increase in taxable
property over 1SS`J of V.:42,818.81.•,
...Every year this town is becoming more
and more conspicuously the home of conven-
tions and national gatherings. The books
are full of dates of important assembl-
ages which are ' to occur this sum-
nior, conceruing each of which I
shall endeavor always to give your maniere
some advance information. One of the most
interesting meetings, i imagine, will bo the
national gathering of florists, which is to be
held Aug. 21 and 22 1'ue members of the
Si,ciety ;,f American Fi.riss of Buffalo are
snare g no pains to rrutke the occasion a
110:4 hie r.ae' in every reypett. I fancy, from
what I hear, that the prestige which Rochte-
ter ha-: won in horticultural matters is the
secret of a ;sods] der: of the interest whichais
being tak,m by Buffalo people in the forth-
coming convention of florists. They mean to
show Rochester that she cannot remain ahead
of Buffalo even in the pretty matter of posies.
Just at present Buffalo is musically inter-
esting. Surely your readers who aro railed
from their pleasant summer homes to a so-
' jeurn here for a few clays on business, will
be glad to learn that the evenings are being
made pleasant for all strangers by both in-.
strumental and vocal entertainments. To-
night the Spencer Opera company takes pos-
session of the Star theater for a season of
several weeks in light operas, and on Satur-
day evening last, after much trepidation, the
beautiful Academy of Music was opened, a
la Theodore Thomas's Central Park concerts,
to the joint communion of music and beer.
It was an experiment, and was a success.
The wealth and culture of the city was not
deterred from attending theconeert through
the fact that refreshments were served at the
round tables, and ' the programme was de-
lightful. -
For the benefit of the flood sufferers, Mr,
' C. J. Hamlin, as president of, the Interna-
tional'Pair association; has given the free
use of the splendid race treat in the exposi-
• tion grounds for a series of trotting ,races,
which are to take place on T'harsday next.
It is thought that a large sum will be real-
ized for the noble cause on that day, as a
number of the speediest flyer in the country
are already here. In the Fair Grounds visi-
tors will be surprised at the preparation
which are going on for this year's exposition.
Another one of those enormous horse show
buildings with their splendid tan -bark courts,
is in procaa of construction and mammoth
quarters are being erected for sheep and
swine. The Art Gallery (only the L of
which was built last year) is to be completed
according to the architect's plana, and there
I am wild, to be a Palace of Illusions,
about which I will toll you in another letter.
The Fair opens this year on the 8d and dome
on the 13th of September, and eireedy I
find the city active in its preparations for
the great event. VrNDzz,

GEO. 0LAS(>7OW, CLINTON
Monday morning aserious tatabb
ing affray:occurred about a mile
south of Dunnville, in which Thorn;
Grills stabbed Wm. Barry, :t •
neighbor. 1t appears that Mr.
GriIlls' horses broke in Mr Barry's
'field of grain and this morning
whilo the latter and a third man
were driving them out they were
joined by Frillis who is a sickly
man, when after a heated conver-
sation both men drew their
knives and clinched. Barry, who
seems to have been the cooler,
closed his knife before taking
hold of his opponent, when he re-
ceived two serious cuts in the
back, which, although serious,
aro not considered fatal. Griffis
..has been arrested.
