The people in the neigh borhood have
Il been as kind as can be to the boys, and
have urged them to como back next year.
Il Last Sunday night6a large number at-j
tended the camp services. On MONDAY
morning the boys, accompanied by tnelr'
3scamp leaders, Physical Director R Rel
and General Secretary Mckee by invita-
\ ton visited Monticello, where Mr.. and
4 Mrs. Won Mayhoff and Mr.. Rhodes gave
them a most cordial welcome, and delight
fully entertained them. On Tuesday Of

lily ltally-ho to the University OF Virginia
and the athletic grounds of the UniVer-
s7sity. Returning honla by the same route

Icould be found IN camp, and the boys
&allS slept well except a few of them who
II got out one morning a little early to tie
the shoes and clothing Of the others. but
the laugh was on them when, after threo-
9nuarters or an hour, upon careful invests
cation. the entire seven were discovered,
@and were permitted to wash the dishes
n for the whole crowd while the others
h looked nerrily on or enjoyed tenns and
& other sports. Splendid good Will has been
/ Characteristic of the entire camp, and
leach fellow seems to vie with the others
iSin trying to make the other fellow have
a. good time. The Importance OF such a
rest period can only be appreciated when
lone thinks of the opportunity Of coming
Into close touch with the boy-life and of
being of such large service to tho boy
an the years when his character Is SO
rapidly developing. Here during camp life
Friendships have been formed and reso-
buttons made that Will 80 toward the
building OF strong. & haratter. Through
the kindness of 5NIr. Yon Mayhoff and
Mr. Rhodes the Richmond association has
been invited to camp on Monticello next
year. s
Ball Game.
The baseball game on Tuesday morn
ing was an exciting affair The Char
#lottesyille boys came down by Invitation,
ready for. score OF forty-five to nothing,
They were larger boys and more used to
1.-THE sun. but the way the Richmond asso-
citation boys did them up was caution.
