Isas been found good enough for the regiment in garrison:
but since the military powers decided that no battles shall
be fought on any place where there is wiroge or where a

under which they may be called on, in actual *ureic*, to

The evening was mirdelielitful, and young and old now
poured over the bridge and into toe field in Lints groups,
while others who had taken their pleasure early returned
while all was bright. About three thousand must have
entered the field, so the demonstration was a pecuniary
success-
The county lanes were now populous with young lovers,
boats scudded over the backwater, the streets mer were
vocal with merry sound., and the fun and also the fuss of
the day lasted far into the night
