Reception to the Rifle Team.

rlhe team arrived at City Hall at ~ O'Clock,
where they were received BY Mayor Wickham and
a number of distinguished citizens. The Mayor
in brief but complimentary manner welcomed
the team and wished them joy at their successful
victories, and then shook each member of the
team by the hand
sleeve, the Captain of the team, who thanked the
Mayor for the kind manner in which they had
been received He spoke of the warm welcome
which the team met in Ireland and the kind treat
ment they had everywhere met with, and said the
name of an American citizen was passport
everywhere. When the team left their hotel at
any time they were met in the streets and follow
ed by crowds, from whom they had to escape by
taking carriages. Much had been said in the
newspapers here of the manner IN which the team
had extended to them courtesies on every hand,
and he could add but little to the tale. The con-
duct of each member of the team had been all
that could be desired and such as should be that
of every true American citizen. 1t gave him un-

did also to the other members OF the team, to be

reception from the honored representative and
head Of the city government, supplemented as it
was by that Of their fellow citizens.

see for themselves that he had brought them all
back safe.

of the team entered open carriages, amid cheer
ing, and the vehicles formed in line two abreast,
