A number of the privates OF the First
Battalion of the Second Pennsylvania
Volunteers held a meeting on Saturday
last at Montchanin, and afterwards
asked the captains OF their respective
companies to endeaver to secure them
clothes.
When the men went to Mt. Gretna
they were told to wear nothing but their
old suits, etc., and this advice they
followed, thinking that they would be
Immediately fitted out by the Govern
ment.
This was not done, however, and the
soldiers were necessarily compelled to
come here still wearing their old suits.
These have now become threadbare
and the soles are also worn from their
shoes. The captains informed them that
they would have to be satisfied for a
short time at least and that they hoped
to receive supply of clothing from the
government at an early date.

Evenings Exercises.

The twenty-fourth annual com
mencement exercises of the Bridgeport
public schools took place last evening
in the Opera House at that place, and
il is safe to say that the exercises were
the best and most appreciated that have
been given for several years. The audi
ence was large and very attentive and
the programme interesting through
out.
The sweet girl graduate, with white
dress and fluffy hair, decked with
flowers and wearing a fascinating
smile, was in the majority, four to one
as the class consisted of thirteen girls
and three boys. One very noticeable
feature of the class was the two col
ored members, Miss Grace Levitt and
Mr.. Charles Robinson, the first ever to
graduate from the schools.
The Opera House for the occasion
was decorated in a tasteful and pa
triotic manner, the red, white and blue
being in evidence everywhere The
colors of the class being carmine and
cream added to the effect of the decora
lions
Music for the occasion was rendered

Bowling Contests Last Night.
Other Sporting Matters.

The topic of discussion just now
among lovers of boxing is the contest
which is to take place before the
Bridgeport Athletic Club Monday night.
The principals will be Oscar Gardner,
who has championship aspirations, and
Jerry Marshall, the plucky little col
ored boxer, who is the hero OF many
ring contest Gardner is the favorlte
with the betting fraternity, and any
person who thinks well OF the colored
bows chances can make wagers prac-
tically without limit, between this time
and Monday night. Judged by their
records. Gardner should win, but
Wheeling lovers Of boxing know
enough about Marshall to know that 1t
takes a good one to beat him at the
game.
The officials Of the Bridgeport club
have under consideration programme
which will be radical and pleasing
departure from that of the usual ath-
letlc exhibitions in this vicinity. There
will be a contest between two colored
boxers in barrels, as a curtain raiser,
and Eddie Gardner will go on for sew
eral rounds with 'Chappie" Chapman.
Meisters band viii probably be secured

music.
Both Gardner and Marshall are train
