Hundreds of well-known ladies, armed with baskets, deserting tile high-class up-town stores, walked in procession to the old-time Washington Jlarket for a day's shopping. In honour of the event (writes the New Vork correspondent of the London "Dailv Tetegraph") the walks throuch tile markets were gaily dccorated, and bands were in attendance, playing. Mr. Gnvnor.
