AT THEIR ARMORY.
The SeIknans and Their Friends
Major Sam Maverick a

Lion.
The Belknap armory was the scene
of real enjoyment last evening, and
the welcome extended by the home
contingent and friends to the New
York team, lett nothing unsaid or I'M
done desirable to be said or done.
The crowded state of the armOry pre-
vented dancing without little crush,
! but it only served to afford chance
for the exercise of that general good
feeling which pervaded. Sam Nav
erick's portrait under the Lone
Star" was the most conspicuous
decoration. AS it was the fifty-sec-
ond anniversary of his birthday and
he was celebrating it at home, it was
difficult to secure Mr.. Mavericks at
tendance but it was finally accom-
plished and when he appeared he
was cheered to the echo in that pecu-
liar tigre which the Belknaps have
adopted. The team fell into line i'm
mediately and Mr.. Claude Wright
delivered the address of welcome.
His speech was happy in conception,
appropriate in alluslon and was well
delivered. The allusion to Mr.. Nav
erck at the close of the address was
warmly cheered.
Capt. Green briefly responded for
the boys and paid a glowing tribute
to Mr.. Mavericks thoughtful care
and liberality during the trip, and
highly complimented the company
on Its fine bearing and gentle
manly behavior while in New York
Mr.. o. H. Williams was called upon
to deleniate some of the experiences
on ship board and in New York, and
gave SO humorous a description Of
both as to draw forth laughter and
applause that fairly shook the
armOry.
Captain Green called for another
cheer for Major sam which was
given with a will. Many happy re-
turns of his birthday We're wished for;
the company disbanded, the music
struck up, dancing commenced, and
youth and beauty chased the hours
with flying feet until the breakup
came, after midnight.
