hearty cheers we're generally directed
to the companies from abroad.

better and the ten Reading
guests swelled the number into quite a
large division.
Then came the Water Witch. Mar

BEST advantage. They looked nice in
heir new shirts, but for handsome ap-
oearance, the United of Frederick, who

Reception Committee in the coaches
