How the Day Was Pleasantly spent at ths
"Buckeye Bivouac.r
Yesterday was the last Sunday of the
Buckeye Bivouacs" on Mad river below
Enon, and the most delightful camp eyel
held on the banks of that stream will pas.
into history this week. Genial hospitality
was the order of the day and fully sixty
people partook of the gamey fare of the
encampment and its various divisions.
The day was decorously but enjoyably
spent, and while the clsy sweltered and
perspired fresh breeze swept up the valley.
tanning down the temperature of the camp
until 1t was delightful.
The bicycle boys and the Worthlngton-
vile residents broke camp this morning and
more will go Tuesday. The rest will re-
main In bivouac until Friday of this week.
This will complete three full weeks of an
easy ideal life that has been most enjoyable
and beneficial to all the campers.
A romping, roaring time was enjoyed by
the whole camp Saturday evening. A min
strel show was improvised, the burnt. cork
artists doing their acts to rarely apprecia-
tive audience. The glittering chandeliers
were coal oil torches stuck in the soil,
and as they fiickered and sputtered
in the air they cast titanic,
fantastic shadows of the ''eminent end
men" and the ''song and dance artists, y
upon the bosom of the river and the fores,
trees, The programme was rapturously
received and everything went.
Among the visitors with Mr.. and Mrs.
d. l.. Nickum yesterday were Mr.. b. F. X.
Jennings and family, Conductor Sam
Brash, Will Hayner, II. S. Skinner, <. A.
Morgan, Capt. Sid Smith, AL. Rawlins and
others. At the least end" the following
guests were delightfully."- entertained: Mr..
and Mrs. Altvater, Mr.. and Mrs. Widdi-
combe, Mr. aud Mrs. Leuty, Messrs. Harry
Wragg, Frank Mills. Eugene Morton and
Earl Low; Mr.. j. W. Rubsam and children,
Mr.. Samuel Huffman, Ben Russell, Miss
Francis Nissley. DIR. Meranda and wife of

There are eleven young ladies in camp:
Misses Name and Dora Rubsam, the Misses
Mouk, Of near Osborn; the Misses Widdi-
comb, the Misses Altvater, Miss LOtta
Nickum, Miss Maud Leuty, Miss Edith
Worthington and Mrs WILDER Story.
These young ladies are the life of the
camp, and by their grace of manner and
irresistible flow of spirits, keep things In a
constantly delightful uproar of life and
buoyancy.
The fare In camp Is delicious and pre-
senss virtual succession of banQuets.
Last night the guests of Mr.. and Mrs.
Nickum sat down to broiled woOd-cock,
fried chicken, Mayonaise potatoes, salad,
bread and butter, fruit, preserves
and delicious coffee. Nothing resem-
bling starvation in that, eh? Along
late in the evening, the young folks made
''sashay" toward the abiding place of the
charming east-enders and partook of sup
Elementary and very delightful lunch of
picked trout, bread and butter, .'prairie
oysters, peach preserves, pickles, honey and
other delicacies. Anything more romantic
than an IL O'Clock luncheon IN the bosom of
the night and on the banks of the river is
not to be imagined. But the appetites were
even better than the romance.
Last evening concert of suitable. quiet
music was given, both vocal and instru-
mental. Mr.. Chester Wolf, who is a genius
at music, has distinguished himself by con-
structing xylOphOne of bits of rails and
wood found in the forest and plays very
prettily on the rude and barbaric instru-
ment.
