mildly. 1t was jolly company that
boarded the eleotr2cs at the head of Preble

time was spent in wandering about the
grounds and watching the performing
horses when an adjournment was made
to the cosy cafe, whore Manager Smith
had delicious lunch ready for the boys
The air Of Riyerton is a great sharpener
of appetites and the company was in
splendid condition to do justics TO the
tempting meal. The yiands 20 tickled
the fancy of the boys that Manager Smith
was saluted with three such heart Y
cheers as only the drummers can give at
the conclusion of the lunch.

Of the midwinter meeting. He thanked
the boys for their attendance and alluded
to the excellent condition of affairs OF the

was difficult for US to appreciate the

A SAIL ON THE WOODBURY..
Collector Deering and Captain Henriques
Entertain the Military Visitors.

Saturday morning, at the invitation of
Collector Deering and Capt. Henriques
of the United States revenue out
tor Woodbury., Gen. Miles and Gen.
Siokles and large party of ladies
and gentlemen Were given a sail down
the bay and in and out among the count
less islands. At noon an elaborate lunch
was served aboard the ship and after a
pleasant sail of several hours the return
was made to this city, Gen. and Mrs.
Miles and daughter being dropped at
Cushings Island where they were the
guests of Mrs. Major Dunn at her beauti-
full cottage in the afternoon. Among
those present on this sail were Capt. and
Mrs. Henriques Capt John W. Deering,
collector of the port, Hon. W. Fl. Ander-
son. Mrs. Gen. James D. Fessenden OF
New York, Gen. Tremaine, Capt. Con-
Mrs. Lee of Portland, Capt. Newcomb of
the United States Life Saving service and
wife, Col John @. Cobb, Judge Webb of
the United States court, Miss Connine and
Col. Moore Gen. Z. p. Mattocks and
j. o. Rice, Of Portland. In reply to
question of how he had enjoyed his visit
here Gen. Sickles said:
1.-THE only thing have to regret is that
it is too short. should certainly remain
here much longer if I had not before
my departure from New York made an
engagement which neoessitates my return
to that city by tonight's boat. My visit
here has been one | shall never forget
and think may speak for my 'com-
rades who have accompanied me here
when say that the reunion of the Third
Army Corps which we have held IN your
beautiful city has been the most
memorable in the history excepting per-
haps one reunion which We held In the
CITY of Boston some years ago which Col.
Moore and other Maine men attended.
II do not shink have ever had more
enjoyable time than have had here. On
all sides we have been treated in q
hospitable and warmhearted3 manner and
every member of the Third Army Corps
who has attended this reunion must have
gone away from this city with warm
people. The Third Army Corps has al
ways been most fort innate in its reunions
and we always have good time
wherever we go. One reason why we al
| ways like to come to New England ia be-
cause the New England people seem to
know how to entertain and seem to have
a most friendly feeling for the old Third
Corps. The reason for this, perhaps, is
because we had great many brave
Maine men with us in our battles and on
our marches and the old Third Corps
never forgot oomrade yet and never
will while one member of the old or
ganization is alive.
Gen. Siokles left on the 6 O'Clock boat
Saturday for New York and was accom-
panied to the wharf by large number of
| prominent people who gave him as royal
a send off as they did q reception on his
| arrival here few days ago. When the
