SCHUYLER FALLS
RESIDENTS SHOCKED
Glance Toward Swimming Pool
Shows Many Soldiers in
Undress Uniform.

Schuyler Falls, N. Y, Aug. A.
Rockies in swimming at distance
after the hot days hike. have been
likened to various more or less poetic
objects by discreetly distance keeping
townsfolk.
One gentle hearted woman at Hark-
ness, seeing them afar of in a placid
stretch Of the Au Sable River, thought
they looked like pond lilies; another
thought they looked like penguins
crouching along the shore. But to-
day the good folk Of Schuyler Falls
had a chance TO see them so close az
hand that there was no difference OF
opinion as to what they looked like.
The saranac River runs through the
hamlet, and near the bridge IN the
town is the only swimming ground.
Soldiers travel light on the varpatns

which the rockies have not brougnt
with them TO any great extent, ana ~
there was between them and the towns
folk during their daily abluuon no
great distance to lend enchantment 70
the view, the unanimous opinion OIL
the townsfolk was that ROCKIES IN
swimming look like nothing moro nor
less than-well, than just that.
To-day's mimic battle, lasting FOUR
hours. was the greatest AFFAIR OF the
kind ever held by rockies. The hike
was thought by some also TO have been
the hottest, numbers becoming tenn
porarily overcome, two becoming un-
conscious and one delirious. In all,
nineteen were sent back to the post
hospital at Plattsburg. Presidents
Hutchins, Of the University OF Mich
igan. and Schurman, Of Cornell, were
visitors at the camp to-day, addressing
the men at the nightly conference:
