Many visitors came out to see how the “gypsies” were enjoying their outing and seemed to think:— “In the gypsies life you read, The life that all would like to lead.” Saturday morning came the time for parting aud everyone expressed it as one of the most enjoyable affairs they had ever attended and how we disliked to break up!
