Jack Tars in a Cake Walk.The blue jackets of the American squadron “cake-walked*' through the streets of Portsmouth as the band of the Second Hants Volunteer Artillery played a lively Yankee air.The cake-walk was an unexpected addition to the day’s entertainment, which had been arranged for the visiting sailors by the Corporation of Portf mouth. They, marched 8'-0 strong from the dockyard to the Connaught drill hall, where they were tendered a luncheon by the Mayor and Corporation.At first the sailors swung along In nn easy step while the band played a lively march. The cheers with which they wore gretted tripled in force as the music suddenly shifted to the genuine cake-walk rythm, and almost as one man the column dropped as quick-| ly into the peculiar half shuttle, half j pirouette affected by oake-walkers.Lieut. Spencer Wood, of the Chicago, who commanded the column, was non plussed and a little angry, but the crowd was so thoroughly pleased that there were repated demands for an : encore.—London Express.
