1870 - A Grand Concert will be given at Bay St. Louis on Sunday next, August 28, 1870, in which Mlle. Zeiss and M. Von Hufflen acknowledged favorites of the music-loving people of the Crescent City will assist.
This will make the Bay a lively and attractive place during the commencement of the week, as the great Southern Regatta is to be run there on Monday, Aug. 29.
The Concert is given for the benefit of the Catholic Church at the Bay, on which repairs have recently been made, necessitating the raising of some funds.
Our people are always ready to assist in works of charity, and as this occasion gives the opportunity to combine pleasure with the good act, we hope there will be a full house. (N.O. Times Fri. Aug 26, 1870 P r c 6 - VF MJS VII 00385).
1871
1871, June 24 & 25 - The pleasant watering place, Bay St. Louis, was, to speak in military parlance, occupied by one of our volunteer militia organizations on Sunday, June 25, 1871.
Company K of the First Regiment of the Louisiana Legion, better known as the Crescent Rifles, left the city on Saturday evening on board the New Orleans, Mobile & Texas Railroad train for Bay St. Louis where a target match was to take place and a general merrymaking was contemplated. The Excursionists arrived in time and were received by CAPTAIN ARMSTRONG of the Crescent Hotel, who escorted them to his house, where the evening was pleasantly spent, the band of music, which accompanied the command improvising a concert, upon which followed a much enjoyed Ball.
At an early hour Sunday morning the command started to the rear of the town where the target practice took place.
We subjoin the results: Capt. Snyder of Company K succeeded in placing three balls nearest the company's bull's eye, their aggregate distance being 29 1/8 inches.
Mr. William A. Bozens made the next best shot; his three distances measuring 33 3/4 inches, and is entitled to the distinction of being the best shot in the Company.
The prize offered to members of the Legion was won by
Lieutenant Behan of Company R;, his three shots measuring
17 1/2 inches.
Mr. William Lynd of Company A succeeded in placing three bullets in the board with an aggregate distance of 18 1/8 inches from the bull's eye.
The shooting was altogether very fine and proved the Crescent Rifles to be excellent shots. The prizes were presented by Lieut. Stewart. Capt. S. P. Snyder received the first prize, a gold badge, and Lieut. Behan the other prize consisting of a silver medal.
The Crescent Rifles returned to the city on the 5:30 P.M. train greatly satisfied with their trip and its pleasant incidents. (VF - MJS VI 00481)

Vincnet, Mr. D. L., of Burlington, Iowa, representing I. F. Segner & Co., was robbed in his room at the Crescent Hotel Monday night. The thief, not captured and unknown, secured several dollars and valuables. Robbery in Bay St. Louis is so seldom that we are surprised to hear of such an occurrence. (SCE 04/22/1893)
Nearly every town throughout the United States can boast of a hotel, but we would like to mention one in Bay St. Louis that has contributed comfort to many a weary traveler.
It is a fine two-story structure, which was built and is owned by Captain John V. Toulme. He has had a great deal of experience in the hotel business, and with the commodious and elegant house he has to offer the public the success it has had since its opening gives it a reputation that brings it plenty of custom from the tourist and the traveling public, and to those classes is due the entire hotel system. Mr. Toulme was born and raised on the very lot where now stands this magnificent hotel, and he is now the oldest living citizen who is a native of this place. He served his State in Company F of the Third Mississippi Regiment, and it was not long before his earnest work and personal gifts warranted his appointment as Captain. Since he returned from the conflict he has always been a man of public spirit and sterling worth, and the people have been proud to elect him many times to the office of Mayor, which position he has always filled with credit to himself, and his work has always proven that he was doing the greatest good to the largest number. One thing for which he is deserving of special credit is the active part he has taken in the erection of the new school building. He is quick to perceive what is best for the people, and as determined to always render his decision for that which is best. He built a portion of the house in 1866, and it was the first one of the city. To this, in 1891, he made a commodious addition, and the recent is now one of the largest houses on the Gulf, and there is none that has a better reputation. The house cost at least $25,000, and it is beautifully surrounded with large trees that envelop it in their sylvan shade, while to the front is a large yard in which blooms the fragrant magnolia and the sweetest of roses, while a fountain playing enhances the beauty of the scene. The grounds occupy a space with a frontage on the Bay of 217 feet, and it extends back 500 feet. There is a large space back of the main hotel, and here there are neat, homelike cottages, while to the rear of these are bearing orchards of pecans, oranges and other fruits.
