THE TOURNiYMENT.
The Velocipide Tournament which
occurred in this place on Friday, the
2d instant, may be truly said to have
been the grandest and most brilliant
affair of the kind that, has ever taken
place. At four o'clock, the hour ap
pointed for the commencement of the
exercises, the Knights and a large
number of spectators, among whom
were -tnany of the fair sex, had al-
redy gathered . on the selected
grounds, evidently quite anxious for
tbia new feature in Tournaments to
make its entrance bow upon the ares
na of the world.
Mr. Nixon P. Clingman, one of
our most talented young 'to wnsmen,
was introduced, and delivered to the
Knights a concise, poiuted and very
I elegant address, in which he made
j several appropriate allusions to the
' cbivalric days of yore," and ad
j monished the contestants for the
honors to perform their whole duty.
I lhis address was a most cbast and
beauciful production, andf reflects
much credit upon the young gentle
men by whom it was delivered.
The Judges on this occasion were
Capt. T. A. Granger, Dr. J. Miles
Hunter and Mr. N. P. Clingman,
and the Marshals were MeRsrs. R.
B. Gregory, Wm. Davis, F. D. Street
and F.f Ll Castex. Time-keeper,
! Mr. L. D. Giddens.
After' the speaking was finished
Land everything being placed in readi
ness the lists were opened and the
