was matter of comment among citizens
that none of the officers of the local COM
Danies were at the train TO receive them,
it being an unusual occurrence for Sacra-
mentans not to welcome their guests.
Some of the members of the teams will
not be here till tomorrow, and some can
not come till Sunday morning.
The up-country teams cannot get here
till 1915 on Sunday morning. Lieuten-

Nevada City, in addition to the city Off
GERS, will De present.
Captain Cook, commanding the bat
terry, has inaugurated a series of monthly
social reunions or home gatherings for
the benefit of his men and their friends.
His idea is that it will have a tendency to
bring members of the battery to the ar
mory (which is open every evening",
where they can enjoy themselves with
music, whist and other social games.
Wednesday evening was spent most
pleasantly in this manner, among the
visitors being Adjutant- Allen,
Colonel Murray, Colonel Lehe of Stock
ton, General Sheehan and others. There
are several good musicians in the bat
terry, and with singing, mandolin and
accordeon playing, with piano accompa-
niment, card playing, boxing, etc, the
hours sped rapidly. a nice lunch and
pipes and tobacco were served during the
evening. On the next occasion, if Cen
eral Allen should be present, Captain
Cook proposes to detail a guard, who will
insist that the distinguished guest plays
whist on the square.
