Newton Nordyke and Sidney
Clemon, late college classmates and
graduation honor-winners, had met at

On the Waters of the
Country.

The fourth of July is preeminently
a day of excursions, especially in sea-
coast cities where scores of large
steamers tempt the patriot to escape
the heat of brick walls. Added to the
thousands of those who have closed
their city homes for the summer is the
multitude of hardworking people who
get this rest in the midst of the heated
term. New York is peculiarly fitted
to cater to the appetite for excursions
There water resorts are almost as nu-
marcus as the boats that go there.
First of these in popularity and fame
is Coney island, as often called Cooney
island by those who are careless IN
their pronunciation. Lying outside
the narroWs it affords a pleasant

The Fourth Long Ago.

West Point can boast of two of the
most famous of the early fourth of
July celebrations. One was in the year
1779, when Washington issued an
order which was publicly read there
granting general pardon to all
prisoners in the army under sentence
of death. The other was in 1882, when
there occurred there the last review of
the Revolutionary army as such. THE
whole army was formed on the banks
of the Hudson ON each side of the
river The signal of II cannon being
given at West Point, the troops dis
played and formed lines, when gem
eral feu de joie took place throughout
the army"
