The young American element took care
that no one slept away the hours pre-
ceding the eventful day. Those who fell
asleep in the morning were aroused by

from the station to a warm breakfast at
the NJ. L. vestry. The "Horribles" were
very good, consisting ofqute a number
of foot men, several grotesque teams,
and THE New GirP' on wheel. Between
9 and 10 a crowd followed the band to
the camp ground, and was entertained
by extra music, singing, speaking by
Young and older girls, q recitation by
| MIR. Charles French, and remarks by the
Rev. gentlemen Loyne and Gleason. The
hats were passed for the benefit OF the
| -::.i..-r ---.--;-; a.,s--and a rausinp vote of
thanks given them, also an invitation to
come next wear. Then the dinners were
eaten by sociable groups, while the rain
was pouring in torrents on the tent The
sale of cake, ice cream, etc, amounted
to about $500. The people were in no
haste to go home, but at last sailed
forth iE a binding rain storm. The
horse trot must have got wetting also,
and there was no band to enliveu the ex-
ercises. A promenade or dance at the
hall closed the day.
