such, as would have done honor to
Delmonico, or any other man. The
early evening was spent in looking
over the business portion of the
village and visiting, until S'oclok,
when they repaired to the Grayling

in endless form, accompanied by a
long list Of delicacies, not forgetting
Munn's extra dry, etc. The visitors
all pronounced 1t an unqualified sue

on hand. After satisfying hunger,
