Correspondence of THE EvENINa STAR. CoxGness Hats, Care May, N. J., July 15, 1883. After the royal send-off given by their friends to them, the Rifles boarded the train that was to bear them to Cape May for their summer holiaay in high spirits, tempered, however, with regrets that the many fair ones who assembled at the depot to see them off could not accompany them. The start was mado promptly at 11, and as the train moved off the “stay-at-home” members gave the company cry with tremendous energy, the de- Parting members echoing it with the sime vigor. That the hair of Mr. J. 0. Manson, the quarter- master, did not turo white in that one night will forever remain a marvel. If ever a man was pulled this way and then that, and racked and tortured with questions and demands, Mr. Manson was. He sull lives. ‘The questions were an- Swered, the demands satisfied and all were happy. Ashort time after the start boxing gloves were produced, and Messrs. Addison and Page per- formed ah act in the manly art, both sides clalm- Ing the victory. A match between Clus. Cromwell and J. T. Bivins (the well-known light weight) en- sued. ‘This also resulted in a tie.
