band boys were practicing at that unusual hour. Their remarks however had no effect on the happy throng. The jolly crowd was composed of the following well known ladies: Mesdames Milliken, Miller, Richardson, English, Pound, Spalding, OHara, Leroy, Houseman, Robinson and Fetterly, and Misses Pound, Adair and Mil- liken. Captain B. W. Davis who was in com- mand of the company, tried to maintain order, but soon discovered that his authority didn’t amount to much and he resigned his commission then and there.
