from Fletcher, Hyde Park and Cam
bridge. Several at distance did not
get word until it was too late, which was
much regretted. About o'clock p. m. a
bountiful repast was served by the la
dies OF the party, and justice was done
to the viands by all. The afternoon was
interspersed with visiting, games and
music, both vocal and instrumental.
Jokes went round the circle. old age was
renewed, pleasant "reminiscences were
talked over and the time sped by much
faster than all wished, and as the twilight
came on each dispersed to their OWL
home with many regrets that the day:
were so short, but feeling that the occa
