Holiday was passed quietly and pleasant
ly on College Hill.
All seemed to enjoy the Sociable at DR..
Combs on Thursday evening.
EARLY Friday morning there might have
/ been seen many young gents busy gearing
up their impatient steeds, preparatory for
the drive to Staples Store to witness the
match game of base ball played Soon you
could see merry couples in buggies and
hacks on their way to the place of amuse-
ments and sport. The girls, of course,
looked their best and sweetest on account
of having donned their new hats and dresses,
and given an unusual twitch to their curls
and tresses OF course the boys looked Just
Oh handsome and pleasant with their new
spring suits and straw hats on, rs they
could for holiday in April.
After pleasant ride, that WINS made to
seem short. by the presence of the merry
girl by your side, wo reined up Mt the des-
tined place of amusement. Looking around
over the crowd we noticed San Marcos was
well represented, in fact most of the bellies
and gallant caballeros of our little city were
present And also many from other parts
of the country. The first bill to be filed
after our arrival was dinner. And We edi-
tors should have been there TO have done
the thing justice. Cakes big and little,
small and great, pies, custards, fruits and
chickens, etc, were plentiful and served up
in style, good things in general, that only
| the girls know how to make. And corn
bread and bacon must have been left at
home for old Tray or some other dog. After
dinner the game commenced, and can tell
you it was pretty close game, but tho
boys at Staples Store came off the victors,
Aut though our boys got beaten little, the
girls made up for the disappointment by
their charming smiles and good things TO
eat. and we think that all enjoyed them
selves hugely. II was late in the evening
when the merry party returned, all seeming
20 be satisfied with their days amusement.
That ended, we added to our days fun by
a pleasant Sociable at the College. At ten
o'clock Prof John rung the bell for all to
disperse, lyon thought was going 10 say
