Murphy and Mr j.'^yan, -two • popular favorites, also contributed greatly to the success ol the concert." ]n ihe , afternoon the . Band . played in the- Becreation Grounds' in conncc1 ion with the oamp,., f The volunteers were "ai home/ 'and' Ihe public mustered in great force, to inspect the camp, admire the local Tommy Atkins, and quaff the afternoon tea that was kindly provided by the men in camp. The general verdict of thy ladies, was that the tea was of nice strength and fragrant, the biscuits were toothsome, and tho refreshments were servod in style. The ladies also admitted that the. volunteers were a tine body of men, and "ihat the uniform fitted them lib'; a glove.
