only regret came that they had been
in port so long without anyone find
ing out what a fine crowd of men and
officers they were.
The past week has been a very quiet
one in local society. The ten days
which the Pacific fleet was here were
so filled to the brim with dances, en-
tertainments, receptions and the like,
that everyone was completely tired out
and ready to rest for while Had it
not been for the Italian cruiser il
would have been very hard to find
much going on. 1t seems to always
be that way in this city. Either a
feast or a famine Local people, when
strangers come here, exert themselves
to the utmost and make the city APP
pear in a most attractive guise, but
when they are alone it seems too mucn
trouble to get up any special forms OF
entertainment outside of the quiet din
ners, lunches and teas which we can
not get along without.
