Pleasant Finale to the Outing Under
the Trees of Picturesque
Sonoma.

GLEN ELLEN, CAL. Aug. 29.-The last
day of the week in Camp Organ, where
the League of the Cross Cadets have been
gathered, has been a fitting finale for one
of the pleasantest outings OF the year. A
morning of pleasurable anticipations, of
bustling and preparing for visitors who
were to flock in from the City, a day of fun
com bined with arranging details for the
farewell ball, and an evening of sweet re-
grets.
The young ladies of Glen Ellen who
have been captivated by the manly, clever
cadets participated largely in the events OF
the day, and no doubt, if their story were
told, they joined the young soldiers OF the
cross in regrets that very enjoyable and
altogether novel week in their lives had
come to close.
Great camp fires blazed, throwing their
rays and shafts of light upon the deco
rated tents. The camp field fell COM
pletely under their influence and over all,
cadets, ladies and visitors alike there was
a subtle spell in the glorious night. At
the large pavilion lamps of all kinds were
burning Brilliantly upon scene of dane
ing couples, young warriors IN Held uni
forms with clanking sabers and the ever
popular ladies in light colored sum
costumes. There the cadets were in their
element, acting as gallants and otherwise
contributing to the entertainment OF their
guests with melange of songs-senti-
mental. comic and otherwise-recitatio
drum calls, gIees and character sketches,
and so it was late-long after the accus-
toned hour for taps-that the cadets were
called in and the grand ball was at an
end.
The guests declared the cadets were ex-
cellent entertainers, and felt sorry that
they could not remain with them in this
beautiful country for much longer time.
The grand ball was managed by the fol-
lowing officers and members of the regi-
ment.

Father Organ added to his popularity
with the cadets this morning when he
purchased large load,of watermelons for
them. He proposed to divide the melons

themselves.
