OF the Associated Press that they are
glad OF the chance 10 visit England under
such auspicious circumstances. they are
all delighted at the courtesy exhibited:
but they are all rather mixed UP regard
ing future arrangements and are rather
aghast at the avalanche OF invitations
which they have received. Within a few
days order will doubtless come out of the
present chaos.

DASTARDLY ACT.

A well dressed man in a stylish turnout
committed dastardly act at the corner
OF Webster and Pocasset avenues last
evening by running down a small boy
who was riding on a bicycle.
The carriage struck the boys cycle in
such a manner as to throw the wheel
into the air. and the many who witnessed
the accident supposed that the boy was
badly injured. Happily, however. be was
not but the man in the carriage whipped
up his horse and drove off at a rapid
pace: In fact so fast, that a bicyclist who
happened TO be near was unable & catch
up with him.
