Hampton Manor" the plantation
of Mr.. T.. ID. Hathaway, was the scene
on Friday, Sept. I'D, of u well-planned
and most successful outing, at which
the Rotary Club of Washington were
the guests of the County Club of st.
Mary's. The Rotary Club, in gayly
decorated cars and headed by one OF
the Semmes Motor Line buses with a
25-piece band, was met at The Oaks"
by q reception committee from the
County Club in four cars respondent
in the national cOlorS and escorted TO
Hampton"
A brief stop was made at Leonard
town, where the Rotariaus, headed by
their band, marched around the public
square and sang and otherwise dis
ported themselves to their own and the
towns amusement. The special cops
patrolling the streets saved the town
from any serious damage, but were
Obliged to ''pinch" some Of the most
obstrepcrous ones, including Charlie
Semmes, DOC" Magce and Arthur
Marks.
Arriving ut Hampton" The spirit
of frolic broke loose proper aud ragged
without interruption until late in the
afternoon. After the members of both
clubs were tagged" for Identification
purposes, linking" was the order of
the day. Allan Coad welcomed the
Rotarians In one of the niftiest little
three-minute speeches ever heard in
St. Mary's. and was happily respond
ed TO by Roland Robbins, after which
Ernest Hathaway welcomed the whole
| gang to Hampton" Oysters came
next, the trip To the beach being made
in OK carts,-that Is, most oil them
were In the carts. Roland Robbins
and Major Pullman, being ''citymen'
and excusable on that score, attempted
20 ride two of the oxen. Close observ-
ers claim that the Major stayed on q
traction of a second after Roland had
slid more or less gracefully over that
/ part of his steed's anatomy that was
/ closest TO the cart.
Pathe Weekly's camera man caught
the whole bunch in the act OF creating
i an oyster famine in the county. The
oy sters were only an appetizer for the
lunch which mess sergeant Bob
Loker had ready for them when the
crowd returned to the house and &c
which all did full justice. Maryland

aud Bill McNally gave y typical Irish

bouts, one : go between two whit
light-weights andS free-for-all between
four negroes, proved good attractions
until Linwood Sterling began passing
around the watermeloRs, after which
there was some excellent singing by

THE MINUTE MEN OF MARYLAND


By Marie Briseoe Croker.
The men of the Maryland Naval
Militia left Baltimore April 8, 1917,
three days after Americas declaration
OF war against Germany.
Il was the time when Freedoms flame,
Far flashing DER the sea,
Aroused America once more
Her champion to be.
Scarce had the stirring call been heard
Throughout the waiting land,
When forth from Baltimore there
marched
A gallant patriot band.
Twas Maryland'S Militia boys,
Her Stalwart sons in blue,
Who came with eager hearts ahame
And will Tn dare and do.
Like Boston's Minute Men of old,
Full armed and eIate,
They sounded Freedoms battle cry
To all their native state.
The early April sunshine shone,
Upon each lifted head.
AS forth from Richmond Armory
They marched with steadfast tread.
\ happy band of sailor men,
All ready for the fray,
They passed with banners lifted high
Mid crowds that thronged the way
I thought the dauntless Maryland Line
Marched with our boys along,
And shades of Old Defenders sang
Their deathless slogan song
On many seas, in many chimes.
We're found old Maryland's sons,
And many n sturdy blow they struck
Against the murderous Huns.
The Navy guards its secrets we'll,
Its deeds no Den may tell,
But great achievements speak for those
Who bore their part so well.
The North Sea knows their story
And Atlan:ic's echoing gales
Might tell in tones of triumph
A thousand thrilling tales.
o winds, blow tenderly and low
Above our boys who sleep!
Love-sentinelled, the waves shall keen
A watch profound and deep.
Theirs is a deathless glory,
| Let no useless tears he shed,
To love and praise the living
Is true reverence for the dead.
4 Our city'S gates are open wide
In welcome warm and true
To all the comrades of the sea,
The gallant boys in blue!
THE slogan OF the Naval Militis
given by the ladies OF Christ Church
was: mo peace without honor, MOI
war without victory"
