 building large fire and roasting corn for all. few hnes of Poetry were read by of the ladies' and after the refreshments served some took peep at the Hieroglyphics, while others preferred visiting the Cave. After spending a sufficient time here the sociailities of the day concluded with a delightful sail on the Lake.
 Not so much enthusiasm of course was manifested as on the reception of the Queens message and we have only to notice the excellent fireworks. and amid the general di.play the following iumnations
