contest and perhaps the most exciting, Is the
"Balaklava melee" in which two teams endeaVor
to cut the colored cockades from their opponents
helmets The review Of the troops each evening
is interesting sight.

ductor. and Corporal r. p. Moore sang. MISS

AN ABANDONED SCHOONER T0WED 70 PORT

The schooner Charles *. Buckley. which arrived
here yesterday from Philadelphia, had "A rough ex-
perience in the hurricane of August a. Her fore
hatch was washed away. and the vessel filled with
water Fortunately being loaded with lumber. she
was practically unsuitable. The crew taken
off by the steamer Chathapl, and landed at Bos-
ton. Later the abandoned vessel was sighted by
the schooner John W. Linne which attempted to
tow her into some port She made such slow prog
ress. however. that the attempt was abandoned and
the Buckley cast adrift.
Mate Hill, Of the Linnell. believing that the
schooner would soon be picked up by some other
vessel, remained on board of her. His expectation
was correct. as the tug F. w. Mum came along the
next day, and lowed the Buckley into Philadelphia.
She repaired there and came here under her
own sail.
