ups enjoyed seeing the little ones so
interested and happy.
The children fiocked in crowds to
the grounds, While many walked there
others arrived in autos. The store
autos of Messrs. Short andYoung made
several trips loaded with JOY seekers,
and other autos were more or less
used. Captain and Mrs. Boyd gra-
ciously received all guests and soon
made everybody happy and welcome.
But the fun for all was the hunt and
the hunters. Promptly on the hour OF
four o'clock the rush commenced, and
more than three hundred hen eggs
were found, and numbers of candy
eggs as well. The finder Of one Of
the prize eggs was handed tennis
racket by Mr.. Boyd, and Mrs. Boyd in
charming manner awarded other
prizes.
The sack and three-egged races
were amusing for participants and Wis
itors, and so the egg race. Poor Aunt
sally" was treated shamefully by
both boys and girls--all proving good
marksmen; and the sports ending up
for any and all balls and bats not won
in other contests. Refreshments
came from near and far and in gener-
Gus quantity and variety. Rev. Mr.
Crabb and many of his congregation
were out and helped the ladies in
charge of the event in the success Of
the day. Mr.. Crabb assisted in ar.
ranging the sports and distributing
the prizes as won. The ladies Of the
Episcopal church are to be congratu-
lated on the success of the day, who
under the management of their presi.
dent, Mrs. H. d. Peck, were indefat.
igable workers. Already the little
ones are asking when the next "Piseo.
pal" egg hunt win be.

TROPICAL STORM
HITS TEXAS COAST
National Guardsmen Lose Tents al
Brownsville-ArmyS Stores Were
Ruined.

San Antonio. Tex, Aug. l9.-With an
army of wireless reports stating there
had been comparatively little damage
and no known loss of lives in the Browns
vile district, the chief anxiety centered
to-day on the situation at Corpus Chris
ii as result of the tropical storm which
struck Texas on the Gulf coast.
The only loss OF life was the sinking
in the Mexican gulf of the small pilot
steamer Pilot Boy. The crew of ten
were drowned. The storm played havoc
among the army camps in the Browns
vile district, probably half the tents
having been blown down. Fully 10000
National Guardsmen and regular soldiers
were sleeping in public buildings in
Brownsville last night The guardsmen
principally affected we're those from IL
linois, Iowa and Virginia. Their camps
were either destroyed by the wind OF
flooded with water. Immense quantities
of army stores VIII be ruined.
The last reports from Corpus Christi
sta ted that the storm carried almost ev-
erything movable before it, leaving in
its wake dozens OF demolished summer
cottages and thousands Of dollars dam
s=s IN the business section.
