some way it remained right side UP.
The street was well filed with teams.
and the sidewalks had many people
upon them, so those below the post
office held their breath as the team
dashed into the busiest section of the
street. One delivery team was driven
as fast as possible and managed to
turn out far enough in Haymarket
without collision.
In front of Smart's drug store the
horse took to the sidewalk, and the
wagon collided with one of Hill <

Mr.. Buckley, who was standing in the
door, frightened him away with stick
that he had in his hand. The horse
swerved toward the street and the
wagon struck against the curbng, and
the iron support of the balcony in front
of the Cony House. This broke the
harness and the horse continued to

Our entertainment Of the boys il
blue Of the Fourth Expedition Of Unit
ed States troops for Manila was in
most respects a repetition Of that for
the one preceding, with the exception
OF being larger. Including the troop
ship ST. Paul in this expedition. the
total number of letters written was
1l,000; baths taken, 100: names on
the visitors book, 300. Besides these
privileges the visitors were provided
with shoe backing. drinking water,
rest parlOr, use of reading room. scales
for weighing, etc.
1t was very gratifying TO see the
way in which these fellows appreciated
the Association. On the ST. Paul es-
pecially a great many were members
Of the Association in their home towns.
and universally were loyal TO il for
what it had done for them.
Up to date we have TO consider

per, 24,0O0 envelopes, washing of 5000
towels, four quarts of ink, six dozen
small bottles of ink, penhOIders. pens
tors have suggested that this expense
be provided by subscriptions for this
special work. This has been one of
the best opportunities the Association
has ever had for helping young men.
1t viii be necessary to raise about
$500, to cover this expense and also
for the work among the New York re-
giment."
Review-A Camera Club can be made
a valuable addition to the attractions
of an Association and interesting re
creation for the members. We have
some enthusiastic members but we
would like more yet. Our plan is to
take up photography in all its phases,
to have good equipment for doing the
work, have meetings for discussion and
lectures. All who would like to enroll
in the club should leave their names at
the Association office
ReView-Thursday evening, Septem-
Der Is, is the evening set for the re-
ceptiOn to Mr.. and Mrs. A. T. Brock,
the new Association Secretary. The
public are cordially invited.
