Biloxi ITEMs.-on Saturday last we accepted
courteous invitation from Creole Fire Company
No. 8 to accompany them pleasure excursion
to Biloxi; this being in lieu of any celebration on
the Fourth.
Headed by Foreman Leggett President Barnes
and Burke's excellent band of ffers and drummers,
the company boarded the Alabama in the evening,
and were soon merrily on their way over the

but always with the decorum for which this com
pany is conspicuous. Nothing marred the pleasure
of the trip, save the crowded and rather uncom-
Portable condition of the boat The weather, also,
rendered the cabins so hot that few could sleep,
and most sat out on the guards till Biloxi came in
sight, just before daylight.
On landing, the company proceeded at once
to Gus Richards recently opened establishment
where all proper comforts had been prepared and
were in waiting After taking an teye-opener =
with their ireman-host Qor as most people know
Gus late of st. Charles street, is foreman of Jack
son No. 18) the boys marched to the market-house
and took coffee then marched through some o.
the principal streets, and returned to Richards
where they broke up for the nonce, and amused
themselves till breakfast in putting away some OF
the sweet salt oysters of the place, and stirring up
the brine in the bath-houses; whilst a few went
into the manly exercise of baseball.
The breakfastwas an excellent one and received
the ampiest justice at all hands. The only organ
| ized movement of the forenoon was march up to
Louis Bellows Sazerac'' house, whore the host,
one of the cleverest and iolliest fellows that ever
stood ona wooden leg gave the company welcome,
and sat out the best of his drinkabes. The day
sped pleasantly until dinner time, when Gus Rich
ards showed what he could do in the way Of getting
pn,,- .rnI,,l lsY,n
every dainty thing in the way of fish, flesh and
l. fowl with all the extras that could be desired II
Y was Gus first endeavor in that line, and was
crowned with success which will redowp to his
benefit hereafter.
Unhappily, whilst the boys were putting theil
feast through the happy Dispatch the Alabama
!. treacherously returned from Ocean Springs-re-
n turned long before she was due, as understood
i Some OF the boys, who had to be back on Monday
at all hazards, ran for their carpetbags, and thu
d dinner and the expected ffolic were thus prema
n turely broken up. Numbers wished to remain oyc
6 to next day. that they might finish the froc the.
a a had so pleasantly begun; but others would not re
main under any circumstances; and SO, soone
st than have the company divided, one part Leaving
a and the other staying, all hands marched aboar'
If the boat and returned to the city. What SORT of
is time they had on the return we cannot state fo
i we concluded to remain having never been q
y. Biloxi before and being anxious, very naturally
y to have good look at the famed town and its III
