Thesight will bo of unusual interest, recalling as it will the days of chivalry and crusades, when castles were stormed and laid waste, or the later times when forts were knocked into perch stone and scattered about the surrounding landscape. One principal point of difference betweenfrMr. Reader’s method of creating havoc and the means resorted to previously, will consist in the entire absence of danger to the observers. One hundred and fifty shots will be fired, and the build-ingof three generations will lie in a mass of shapeless ruins. Those who have heard of the waste and destruction created by an earthquake, and those who have*read the thrilling detailsof the ravages of the tornadoes of theWest, will, through the enterprise of Mr. Reader, be given an opportunity to witness a realistic imitation of the results of the earth s inward trembling or outward breathing with none of the usual accompanying terrors to life and property. Another feature of the occasion, which will be of an extremely eventful character, will be a balloon ascension by Professor Oscar Hunt, the well-known aeronaut, who has been secured by Mr. Reader at considerable expense. The disciple of the Montgolfier brothers will ascend in his largest balloon to the height of a mile, and at that terrible elevation will perform eertain feats on the trapeze wnich would be perilous to the ordinary citizen six feet from the ground. It is scarcely necessary to say much to the Cleveland public of the excellent advantages for picnicking afforded by tie; beautiful pine groves and glens within a stone’s throw of the mill site. Thegrove is cool and the air balmy with therich odors of the pine, and the ravine possesses rare natural attractions. The opportunity to avoid the dust and glare of the city and at the same time witness a spectacle which can be seen but once in a lifetime, will attract thousands, and all will be repaid. Brass bands, and if possible the Cleveland Light Artillery will be secured to add to the festivities. Lunch, ice cream and cigar booths will be erected, and every provision for enjoyment will be made. Mr. Reader, who is the president of the Blue Ribbon League of the E»st End, will not permit the sale of beer or liquors of any kind upon the grounds, and last Saturday refused an offer from a saloonist of 00 for the privilege of running a beer stand in the grove. Ample means for conveyance to and from the scene have been arranged, and omnibuses will be in waiting at the terminus of the Euclid avenue, Cedar, Garden, and Woodland cargift « free I backyea, t find flt;Whentionabolisansw«menproudtwentto ntn to an 'Histoi progrtwent chang vanta of digreatiplace.MtneCon~ArZE1It hhereboon iwhich ored imorni sold oitselfbegu ia ga i n aratio Rev. lt;city 1:us.and itChuning.f-oodI. lit!assist!his c subsei the A home from then rOUH Hi• 1 ay i(whit The p beer, menci I n mai I latch him. of his on Suto the he wc citizei
