BEAUTYs RECEPTION.
How the Belknaps and the San Anto-
MOS were HonOred at the
Casino.

Casino.
As already reported the ladies OF San
Antonio decided to give the Belknaps
and San Antonio Rifles a reception at
the Casino in honor OF their Galveston
victories, and last night was set for the
pleasant celebration. A little before
O'Clock, the Belknaps assembled at their
armory and marched to the san Anto-
MO armory, where they were cordially
greeted. Here the two companies we're
ssandwiched," that Is the "Belknaps"
and "San Antonios" were placed side
by side, and, forming fours, marched to
the Casino. The scene then presented
was one OF heads and hearts Of those en-
gagged in the reception. The stage was
0yerhung with flags. On either side was
a tent. one embossed in 1loreated letters
IS, A. r." the other "Belknap," and In
front of each was a stack Of arms. Out
of the 5. A. X. tent the mimic head OF
something protruded-the boys said 1t
WAS Cooley looking out for the Calves
ton delegations winnings that came
not. Between the two tents was sus-
pended an infantry" sword labelled "a
silent delegate from the cavalry COM
pany." In front of the stage was huge
inverted horseshoe enclosing card in
scribed: "Welcome We dudes and kids,
and thrice welcome ye S2,25O." The
eastern wall was decorated with nags,
evergreens and bunting and Inscribed
"Galyeston-San Antonio" and the
western wall was decorated In like
manner but inscribed "Lsmpasas." The
gallery was draped with large United
States flag and evergreens, and
Neis flags of the San Antonio Rifles.
Across the hall were ropes Of flags. The
elite Of the city were present at the re-
ception. Evening dress was the order
of the night, and the whole was indica-
tive of honor and OF joy.
Colonel Epson being. called up dellV-
cred stirring address, cOmplimentiDg
the boys upon their success, and giving
them some good sound, practical advice,
which was received with loud and en-
thusiastic cheers. This done, dancing
commenced, and it is no figure of speech
to say that what with the splendid toll
cts of the ladies, the brilliant uniforms
of the boys and the decorations, the
scene, as viewed from the door. was one
of knightly splendOr in the palmy days
when chivalry and beauty were honor
ably mated, and above all, knightly.
There was liberal supply OF ice
cream and cakes served in the base
ment, and 1t was enjoyed by those pres
ent.
All was grand and pleasant, but there
was one thing noticed that was better
than all else, that is the members of the
two companies fraternized together in a
sincere spirit of friendship and good
will, that seemed to say, 1--WE are broth
ers, and while we seek to excel we will
do so in true fraternity, never forgetting
the principles OF manhood and the
spirit of chivalry. That the future may
be as is this indication is the hearty
wish of the LIGHT.

ATRoCIoUs CRUELTY.
How Two Brutal Mexicans Treated a
Cow Within the City Limits.

How Two Brutal Mexicans Treated a
Cow Within the City Limits.
A horrible case of cruelty to an animal
that calls for strict investigation by
the new society, was brought 70 the no.
fice OF LIGHT man yesterday. The
facts are as follows: On Thursday morn
ing about 10 o'clock, two Mexicans were
seen near Ell Paso street chasing a COW,
and at last they succeeded in lassoing 1t.
They then endeavored to get the COW to
go the way that they wanted 1t, but the
COW didn't want to. Then one man
pulled at its horns, the other its tail and
by some means the COW fell. Instead OF
stopping to right the animal, they
dragged 1t by the head and tail some
distance over the rocky road. Then they
endeavored to get the animal to stand
by beating 1t over the head with their
loaded quirts. The COW groaned, but
could not move. Finding that they
could not get along with the COW they
staked her head to bush near Carrie
Anderson's bagnio, so that 1t could not
rise II it were able to do so, and left it.
Thus the COW was left without food,
water or attention till after dark. When
the matter was reported to Marshal
Shardein, he sent man to cut the COW
loose, and when the man did this he
watered it and left it there, thinking it
would rise and go home. Next morning
1t was discovered lying in the same
place and was suffering intense agony.
1t remained in that condition until late
in the evening, when some humane citi-
zen notified Marshal Shardein of its con-
dition. The marshal dispatched two Of
ficers to the place and instructed them
to get witnesses for the necessity Of the
action, and if justified to end the suffer-
ings OF the poor animal by killing it.
This was done. 1t now remains for the
police and the society to trace the inhu-
man Mexioans and punish them with the
utmost rigor Of the law.

The Profit of Interstate Drills.

A gentleman who was in Galveston
during the entire time Of the drill and
received his information from reliable
source, informed a LIGHT reporter that
the total number of visitors to the drill
grounds during the drill days amounted
to 100000 persons and that the gate
money footed up to Sol ,OCO. The sale
Of certain privileges brought an addi-
tional sum Of $4,000. The same gentle
man says the visitors must have ex-
pended over 100000 while in Calves
ton.
These facts should inspire the people
of San Antonio with the determination
to have an interstate drill in our city
this fall, say in November. There is
ample time to complete all necessary
arrangements and preparations and to
give notice throughout the union. The
S57 900 collected at the drill grounds in
Galveston paid all the prizes and ex-
penses and left margin for profit TO
the company and the same thing would
occur here.

The case of Simon VS.. David Coulson,
the dairyman, for $l4 for wages, was
tried this morning. An Englishman,
who was not a lawyer, made a speech
for the plaintiff. but switched off from
the matter at issue and denounced Emi
grafton Agent Kingsbury for deceiving
Englishmen into coming to Texas, as
though Kingsbruy was himself on trial.
Coulson was also represented by man
who was not a lawyer, who launched
out into speech eulogistic of COulson.
Justice Crawford gave judgment for the
plaintiff-the wage-worker.
