of some six members left Metropolitan

lently, slowly and stealthily they crept
along the lots which line Ocean avenue
from this hall to the new avenue on which
fronts the Barr-Dinwiddie bookbfndery.
Across these they proceeded cautiously un-
til opposite the Greenville Rifle Clubs
home on Gator avenue. From that point
they defiled to the southwark until they
came up to that clubhouse. Then they si-
lently surrounded it.
Meanwhile a party twice the size of this
one was busy in the driveway of Ocean
avenue near the curb. They were placing
Chinese bombs and crackers and bombs
and crackers of more patriotic origin in
row along that thoroughfare. They
were propping up rockets and locating
mines and flower pots of all descriptions.
So quietly did they work that when the
first report came from the pyrotechnics of
the skirmishing party around the Rife
Clubs house it was answered with a flight
of rockets. a banging of bombs and rock
cts and flight of vari-colored stars of
great beauty. The display of fireworks
which was furnished and directed by Mr..
Louis Uhl. lasted nearly half hour.
