tents pitched around Washington Monu-
mont and some of the companies had TO go
TO the hotels until tents could be procured.
Monday, Garfield Division secured a fine
drag, and were driven around the city.
and visited the various places Of interest.
The drive down Pennsylvania avenue was
delightful. Ex-Councilman William l..
Stokes, who is a guest of Garfield division,
is reported as enjoying himself immensely,
and says he will never forget his trip TO
Washington. Garfield Division presented
very neat appearance in their handsome
uniforms, and as they marched by the
White House yesterday afternoon, where
they were reviewed by President Cleve-
land, they certainly looked as well as any
other company in the great procession of
5000 men. Garfield Division is repre-
eented by 10 men.

Mulvey when the bases were full practi-
cally won the game. He knocked the

finish. Peter Griffin made very good |
umpire considering the crowd he had to
deal with. Attendance 3OO
