Fifty-five Yavapai men left for camp yesterday from points outside this county, bringing the actual number of local boys sent to camp up to IFS Credits held over from prior entertainments were sufficient large to cause the county to eventually receive credit for the full 2l9.
 Began Arriving Early
 A large number of the boys from the outlying sections of the county arrived in Prescott or Sunday after noon and evening. Sunday night the city was practically in possession of the mcrry-makcrS, who were bent on having one grand old time during their last hours as civilians. The management of the Elks' theatre obligingly gave the boys the courtesy of free admission at the Sunday eve ming performance and many attended the show.
 Entertained at Yavapai Club Yesterday morning. at S:3O a hne breakfast was spread before them on beautifully decorated tables in the ball room of the Yavapai club. Prac- tically the entire contingent, with the exception of a few whose families re- sided in Prescott and who could not be spared from the family circle for this last meal at home, attended the breakfast at the club. A glce club, organized by Gary Vync and assisted by Messrs. D. w. Russell, Richard Lanlson and O'Day, rendered mum Der of splendid selections, which were greatly appreciated. Mir. Vyne sang "Mandelay" in voice and style that the soldier boys greatly appreciated. 'Bilr' Simon, the irrcpresiblc cow boy of many talents, sang 'Septem- Der" and gave q whiStling solo m way that made real hit P. V. Glib born rendered a violin solo m mag niiccnt style while II. B. Hinman played the piano accompaniment Tn his usual snappy manner. Short ad- dresses were made by Secretary l.. \. McSwiggin of the local exemption board. Captain Harry Smith, who very feeling expressed on behalf or the departing soldiers his and their appreciation of the royal send-oft eX- tended them, and also by Major Holmbcrg, who in a most admirable address gave the boys most valuable advice and suggestions and gained their cordial good will by explaining to them some of the puzzling situa- tions they might encounter, and how best to meet them. Many patriotic songs were sung by the entire assem- blaze. concluding with America, after which Toastmaster l.. ,. Clark halc the boys farewell in behalf ot. inc ccumunit;-, and the soldiers and sailors welfare committee oi the Chamber of Commerce.
 Much credit is due this committee of which Grace NJ. Sparkcs IS the secretary, for the splendid manner in which every contingent of soldiers which has departed from Navapai has been fittingly entertained, and the conspicuous success of this leave taking ceremony is due entirely toj the efforts of the Navapai County Chamber of Commerce.
