They came also to see the commencement
and the attending exercises. MANY

OF ten and twenty years ago.
AT two O'Clock the Alumni dinner was
served in the pretty little gymnasium.
The dinner was laid for eighty-five, but
nearly two hundred partook.
The Millville Mandolin Club furnished
sweet music. The room was elegantly
trimmed on all sides with bunting and
hags presenting gay aspect.

The Camden Base Ball Club Did Not Show
Up Saturday.
Manager Corey of the B, A, A. ball
team, was greatly disappointed Saturday,
because tie Camden ball club did not
show up here according to agreement.
There were quite number of the fans
who were equally disappointed.
Manager Corey had the B. A. A, team
in strong shape, and the local lads would
have given an account of themselves that
would have been f1attering. The practise
showed the team to be keyed up to good
work. Bacon at first, Tullis at second,
Wright at third and Heintz at short, were
playing remarkable ball, and some of the
fielding exhibits were as good as often
seen in game of ball.
KEELING, the new catcher, showed up in
good form, and looks as If he would do.
The new pitcher will be with the team
next Saturday.
1t will be surprising if the B. A. A.
boys do not make good impression
when they get to playing ball, and the
public should give the team strong sup.

OFF SANTIAGO, June 20.-With flags fly
ing and the guns of SIMPSONS flag
ship booming salute, the first Amer
lean army of invasion sailed up to al
most within range of Morro's guns at
IL 10 this afternoon. At the present
moment the troops only await the
word to land and march on to San
tiago. The conveys and TRANSPORTS
presented an impressive sight as they
stretched out over eight miles of the
Caribbean sea, their decks filled
with soldiers whose eyes were
directed eagerly shoreward.
All hands were cheering and waving
their hats and flags as the transports
passed by the warships and circled
out to sea. The line went about
eleven miles off shore, when the ships
were hove to directly in front of the
harbor entrance. Sampson explained
the whole situation at the conference.

Cuban officers who had visited the
flagship on Sunday.
1t may be day or two before it is de-
cided where the landing of troops will
be made. There is no question of the
ability of the fleet to protect the land
ing wherever it is made.
The general opinion among the fleet is
that Cervera is preparing some kind
of a surprise. The last shooting took
place at one clock Sunday morning
when the "vesuvius" threw three
shells on the ridge west of Santiago.

Public Installation,

Bridgeton Castle, No. i3, K. G. E. last

are two kinds Of pipes, namely. "Aue

pipes are very largely in the majority

need tuning. They should be thorough

The reed pipes, on the contrary, re-

unlike that of the ilue pipe, nothing
to do i'm the formation of the tone,
its duty being too qualify the tone af-
ter it is made. The actual tone pro-

in the pipe at the junction of the

bellows strikes against the reed, which
is known as a striking reed" and sets
it to vibrating against the metal sur
face. The pitch of the tone depends
upon the amount of the reed which
is allowed to vibrate and this is con-
trolled by the tuning wire" which if
