encampment are we your debtors, and the pros
pect Is that ere we leave we VIII be involved in
oollgations TO you and your good people that we
have followed each other as the whlch-capped
waves or yonder gllStening sea, and Will leave
memories too pleasant TO be lost TO View
march through life. l assure you. sir, we are
grateful to you and your citizens FOR the Kind
dial and friendly consideration which we have
already received at this attractive resort"
Col. MooreS felIctous little speech was received
with much applause. The corps then gave their
peculiar cry, which was received with great
laughter. A fter tins the corps, headed by the
mayor ana city council, together with Mr.. w. s.
RooSe, of Washington, and a detachment OF the
state militia, marched through the principal
streets Of the city, large crowds lining the streets.
Almost the entire force went in bathing during
some portion OF the day, and enjoyed the fine SURF
OF This pl ace 10 the iull extent.
SOMETHING LIKE PANIC
occurred to-day, shortly after one O'Clock. Some
OF thc boys had gone in bathing, or elsewhere, and
were not around at dinner time. Consequently
when they did appear, dinner WAS over and the
dlnlng-room WAS closed. For time the boys
were mad, very mad, and looked as though their
best friends had died and they didn't have money
enough TO bury them. But, on appealing ID Mr
Crump, the genial proprietor OF the hotel that
gentleman saw that the case was desperate, and
the boys got their bread and butter.

paratfons here, and as the results are eminently
