two steamers to carry the crowd the 

 Raltimoreaus took twenty miles down 

 Chesapeake bay for the outiug. Just 

 lifter starting, the steamers passed fire 



boat quarters, where the Deluge lay 

 waiting to give an exhibition of its 

 strength. With all eleven of its streams 

 turned on, it Avas a great floating foun 

 tain, making a picture none who saw 

 it ever will forget. It seemed the boat 

 must fairly burst with its pent-up 

 power, but some of the growers wanted 

 to take it home to syringe with. A 

 box lunch was served going to Tol 

 Chester beach, and on arrival there tlic 

 sports were started at once. While tlie 

 gunners were busy on the bluff and 

 the ball game was in progress back in 

 the field, a sudden, fierce squall blew up, 

 lashing the bay until its wide, dark blue 

 water was covered with white caps, pre 

 senting a sight that remains one of the 

 dearest memories of the day. The wind 

 was followed by a torrent of rain, but 

 there were plenty of shelters, and in 

 a few minutes the sun was out again. 

 The gunners went back to finish their 

 match and the races were run on a 

 somewhat slippery field, but the ball 

 jilayers did not go back to finish. When 

 interru])ted the score stood: S. A. ]•'..
