eral attack vas made all along the
line upon the highly rellshable yiands
and splendid beverages, Captain Cos
grove. III tho name Of the company,
Welcoming the assembled guests and
requesting them to make themselves at
home.
In this connection we are compelled
TO allude to the reprehensible conduct
of a number Of boys, wanting In good
breeding, who made themselves Cd
noxious generally by wasting food.
On such occasions hereafter we suggest
that their parents keep them at home.
An interesting feature Of the occa-
sion was the splendid music furnished
by tue Washington Guard Band.
| Speech making. toasts aud singing
we're the order Of exercises. The fss-
| ~tivi,ics incident to the occasion were
kept up till long after midnight, every
body appearing to enjoy themselves
immensely. The Secretary, Mr.. z.
| Neylon, as we'll IA the other officers
and members Of tho company, were
indefatisable In their efforts to con-
tribute to the enjoyment Of the assem-
| bled guests. Candor compels us to
| add, in conclusion, considering the
circumstances (the wind blowing ter
| rilcally all the time the shooting was
| going on. the members Of the Sars-
| field Guard acquitted themselves we'll
| on Saturday last. The other compa-
MES In Virginia City need not DO at all
surprised to see tho Sarstields walk
away with the principal prize at the
| onnroachinp Brigade target excursion.
