CONGRESS HALL, CAPE MAY, y. J.,l
August 20, 1882.
The trip Of the Washington Light Infantry
Corps and party to Cape May. although rather
long, was still a very enjoyable one. After the
| first shock of parting from SO many fair friends
was over 1t was not long before the last vestige of
sweeps" had vanished from the countenances of
| even the most sentimental Of the gallant White
| Coats, and all settled down to the prospect of
week of unaloyed pleasure.

NOTHING TO EAT.
| AS the night wore On there were frequent in
qulrieS as to where something could be got to eat
AT last when Wilmington was reached, the hun
CRY passengers rushed off the cars in search of
something to satisfy the demands OF the empty
stomach, but alas, In vain, for it was 8 O'Clock
sunday morning, in Delaware, too, and so neither
love nor money could secure even toothpick for
dhe the hungry searchers: & The soldier boys tight
ened up their belts, and the civilians had to grin
and bear 1t: At last, about twenty minutes to
mine, Cape May was reached, and the end OF the
enforced fast was near. The Washington guests
were received by company II. 9th n. j. regiment
