The weoral mechanical r .lepjtrtmcnis of the ship, carpenter's, I eailmaker'a, armorer's and boatswain's I ■were brought into requisition for the h program "and tbeir uniteil skill resulted ti in making a movable stage that could v be put up, or taken down at short no- t lice, and when not in u«c safely stowed t awj^'ta tbe ship's hold with nil tit ap- - purtennncca. When It was decided tlist I eireuuist anr.es were sunb that * ]<wrf ortii - | to thff service, and permission bad been 1 given by commanding officer, the stage i was put up just abaft the mainmast, .- that left the whole qnarlcr deck for ae. i enmmodation of the men and the eabln t deck abaf t, for the officers. Chairs from \ ranged in proper shape to best com. f ■nand a view Of the stage.

The entcrtainiucnl was < specially got- (j up complimentary to the party of „ men and ladies comprising it were on a visit to noted |Kiints on Hie Southern coast, Foil Royal being headquarters. Many war vessels were in the harbor. Their officers availed themselves of the c opportunity to witness - the standing h jokes of the N'. H'a famous eoiupiny. One of the original ones gotten o(f by the "End nun" was tlie following: c "Why," said he, "am this audience like n Die Pennsylvania oil regions?" >AfUir i, the ivniai amount of futile guessing, the ,] reply. "Because thore are great jt'effr. In it" brought down the house. The Sec. , rotary waa sitting on a sofa with the ( Admiral Reynolds. I remember the ,| position of the two, c.ircumatnn'ially. ,, When be heard the applause and ' saw ] the many eyes turned upon him and not | having- heard, he did not, of course, t comprehend the joke, Ull the Admiral , explained wliat it was, an I learning the , aituaiibn be applauded and laughed , [ mcst heartily. There were oUicr "gags" t hut they have slipped my mind except , one, personally compllmrntarylo myself, t which diffidence demands shall bo un. , mentioned. | I will Ull the readers of the Wava . some day of an entertainment given by ■ tho New Hampshire company at the , army barracks at Hilton Head and what , came of It. This experience satisfied , me that I waa not a successful faspcasa ] no, and I abandoned the business which 1 waa only undertaken to afford recreation to Uic people of the Squadron and their friends.
