to accommodate the very large assemblage, |
drawn out to welcome the latest returned trav |
eler, Mrs. NJ. A. Lockwood, who was to tell the |
story of her leisurely wanderings through the |
South to Florida and the neighborlng Isle of |
Cuba. Judge Hayden, the conductor of the |
club, presided, and the Pastime Musical Club,
numbering fifteen young men with stringed in |
struments, furnished the music. This musical !
feature of the evening extremely salts
factory. There was also fine piano solo by
Mr.. Spear, and either solo by Mr. Gieboe, with
guitar accompaniment, which brought out all |
the delicate melody of the two instruments.
But the event of the evening came when Mrs.
Lockwood recounted the story of her trip. She
took her audience on rather slow journey
down South; but as that was the "way" of
Southern railroad travelling, and she be-
guiled the time with many a sally of wit, spiced
with tales of adventures encountered while
waiting for trains, the audience would not have
cared If, like Tennyson's famous Brook"
she had "gone on forever" However,
when she had really introduced her audi
ence to the delights of her Florida
trip she took rest, which the Pastimes
Swanee River.'' After this Mrs. Lockwood
sighted the outgoing ship for Cuba, took all her
audience on board, and away they sailed for the
Isle of Palms. The voyager confessed to at
sundry ways breaking all the Purtanical no.
tions and customs of this cooler cline of ours.
The very spirit of the carnival seemed to have
returned with her, and to have 'materialized"
for at the close of the lecture the Pastimes gave
q medley Of "Johnny Get Your Gun," "Down
in Gcorgia," "Dixie," etc., which brought Mr..
Van Schacll to his feet, and he whisked out
into the aisle and began to dance, to the edifica
tion Of all the Eye ancient and modern travel
ers," who hitherto have never broken out into
any merriment more hilarious than laughter.
But Mr.. Van Schaick carried the audience, in
sense, ''with him. and his dancing was highly
appreciated, especially when he skipped over
and took the lady orator of the evening for
partner in the merry round, she, by the way,
proving equal to that surprising emergency.
Mrs. Lockwood had invited number of per-
sonal friends and ladies of the press to partake
of her hospitality after the lecture. The hand
some collation. was spread on table beautifully
declled with flowers and fruit in the basement
dining hall. After supper Mrs Maj. Bash read
an appropriate poem on "Strathmore Arms
and its Society,"" which was full of hits
that were highly appreciated. Among others
