all the others in the quick time made.
While in Buffalo the boys were
given leave of absence to visit Niagara

All the boys express pleasure with the
The Yantic I'm her new outfit and re-
modelled construction has attracted
expressions of admiration i'm every
port visited. While the ships were
passing down the st. Clair river last

at them fro the cottagers on the banks
of the stream, many exclaiming that

Ii Is probable that the Yantic will
put into Marquette to disembark the

Everybody has had n good time at
Buffalo, but the dissatisfaction of the
Buffalo newspapers and the officials
OF the Motor Boat club with Com
mander Marsh's refusal to allow the
ships of the fleet to go down the river
to the Motor Island Thursday was un-
fortunate. The Buffalo people had
made arrangements for a naval par
ade down the river. but Commander
Marsh would not allow all of the ships
to make the trip. claiming that some
of them draw too much water for the
river channel The Buffalo people were
disappointed and Commander Marsh
was subjected to a good deal of crit
icism, which was considered unde-
served by those on the ships.
Except for the failure of the naval
pageant, the arrangements were good
and the men on the fleet enjoyed
themselves Nearly every one found
time to visit Niagara Falls.
