Over-exercising on the part of certain stout persons of the party is said to "have contributed to this after-nausea. A feature of the afternoon's sport was the playing of the game,"Drop the ihandkerchief" by the heavyweights. A few of the boys of Mr. Bland's class spent Friday night at the camp -preparing the early stages of the bar becue. The fires were lit about 2 .o'clock Saturday, morning.
