to draw visitors to that charming resort, witch now
has so many rivals springiug UP rather nearer the

whlieCoats could confer more tcat on any place they
visited than perhaps any other organization OF clu

the Light Infantry go under the pleaSanoSt auspices
and the hearty scnd-oG they received last night
well as the crowds who accompanied them on the
train, proved the interest that their townspcopc feel

on the lawn facing the sea, previous military en-
campments having been mile OF two back, IN
