The uniform consisted of blue seaman's pants and a heavy flannel shirt or frock, such as is worn in the United States navy.

To each student the following articles were served out:-- 1 pea-jacket.
1 blue cloth jacket.
1 pair blue cloth pants.
1 pair blue satinet pants.
1 blue cap.
1 straw hat, of coarse, sewed straw.
1 Panama hat, bound.
2 knit woollen shirts.
2 pair knit woollen drawers.
2 white frocks.
2 pair white duck pants.
4 pair socks.
2 pair shoes.
2 black silk neck-handkerchiefs.
These articles were given to the boys, and they were required to put on the every-day uniform; after which they were directed to arrange the rest of the clothing in the lockers belonging to them.

The contractor who had furnished the goods was present with four tailors, to attend to the fitting of the clothes, which were all numbered according to the size.

In a short time the students began to come out of their rooms, clothed in their new rig.

They looked intensely "salt," and there was no end to the jokes and smart things that were said on this interesting occasion.
