HOP At MONTVALE.
one Of .he Events OF she season.

as the train left Knoxville for Mary
vile a heavy rain storm came up,
which doubtless prevented many of our
Knoxville young gentlemen from at

they proceeded to do without waste Of
time in arranging toilettes.

we notice DIR. Eaines, of Memphis,
DR.. 8. B. Cook, of Sweetwater, w. e
Williams, Joe. Rayl, Elem. Hazen,
Aleek Mcmillan, Walker Joynes,
Arthur Mead, Charles Dawes,
J. 8, Boyd, Jr. and w. w.

with others whose names, during our
short stay, we did not learn There

gentlemen present as might have been
desired, but the lack in numbers was
made up In quality, and supplemented
with a number of gallant young mar

present.

porter repaired to feast his eyes upon the
beauty and chivalry there assembled,

to have keen appreciation. The cos
tunes were elegant, and at
