TOMORROW FOR THE FEAST
AND ANOTHER GALA DAY FOR
THIS CITY.
Troops will March to the Executive
Building at Noon Tomorrow to be
Regaled-Personal Notes.

The soldiers comprising the pres
ent expedition being regulars, there
is much more strictness in the mat
ter of liberty than with the volun-
teers. Those having relatives in this
city are accorded liberty and small
squads are seen about town on their
way to drill or bathe. There is a goc
deal of hard work being done on tie
ships in shifting cargo, etc, and some
of the men have been given a chance
at that.
A change has been made in the ar
rangements and the troops will not
be entertained until tomorrow, when
they will all be marched to the gov
ernment building at noon. Chairman
Ashley said that all arrangements
for the spread had been perfected,
and that there would be little differ
ence from the last feast. The govern
ment band will furnish the music.
1t was also decided yesterday that
it would be hardly worth while for
the troops to come ashore and camp
for few days and this part of the
program has been changed.
AT the Officers Club open house is
being kept, but there have been very
few callers during the morning. On
Saturday evening the rooms were all
crowded with visitors, music, singing
and other attractions being provided.
Bandmaster Littleton of the
Fourth cavalry has twenty-five musi-
