The Americas Light Infantry, our
military company, was out on dress

Lieutenant Harper in command, and
attracted good deal of attention on
the streets. The uniforms of the
boys are aquite handsome and show

Neither was hurt much and the

Names are withheld by request.
The concert last night was one of,
If not the greatest, musical treats
Americas ever enjoyed. Every fea-

received the most flattering APP
