Account of the Affair by Baitinlors Paper
The American Of this morning says: One Of the
largest and most agreeable excursions OF the sea-
son took place yesterday, the scene for the
blage being the Annapolis Junction, on the line
Of the Baltimore and Washington Railway. For
some time past the members OF the Young Catho-
lies Friend Society Of Baltimore determined to
devote day to rural festivities, and after cores
ponding with their brother society of Washing
ton city. both determined to spend day together

and, under the conductofship of Captain Collins,
left the Camden Station at $40, the company
numbering about 600 persons, and occupying ten
fine passenger cars. Nothing Of interest occurred
except the swift passage Of numerous long trains,
laden with the product Of the coal mines) until
the shrll whistle of the iron horse announced the
arrival at the Junction. At first Is was not known
which party would first reach the place, but the
loud shouts Of large crowd at the platforms, and
spirited martial music, indicated that the COM
pany from the Metropolis, with many others from
Georgetown and Alexandria, arrived previously,
and were drawn up in order for the purpose Of
giving brot6erly salute and greeting to their
young frieads from the Monumental city.
The first train from Washington did not bring
down as many excursioniss had been antici-
pated, but the regular trains from both CITIES
added TO the throng, which, still further increased

to enter quite spiritedly into the pleasures Of the
day, and with the most cordial feeling. About
ten O'Clock u was announced that dancing would
commence upon the plsiform erected in tue beau
tifully shaded grove, which was soon filled with
couples, and 70 the sounds Of Capt. Withers' mil
itary and cotillion bands a merry and joyous
season was experienced. There were many Other
parties who devoted the hours Of the morning to
the manly exercises Of pitching q otis, swinging,
racing, and ten pins For several hours the ladies
monopolized the accommodations for the lattr
amusement, and their attempts to make an
siOnal ten-strike were decidedly amusing. Dinner
was ready shortly after noon, and the bill Of FIRE
served at the junction Hotel and the Howard
House was well worthy ahearty discussion OF any
person In good health. The children, of which
there Were many, rolicked, frolicked, and gam
boiled through dell and dale, and inhaled the
pure air of the country with grateful hearts
Shortly after all had dined, the band assembled
upon the green and for half-hour performed a
variety Of popular compositions. including quick
steps, Polkas, potpoEuiS, DC. A feeling Of disap-
pointment was evinced on account of the absence
Of many of the clergy, only two being present,
viz: Rev. r. Lyman. Of st. Johns Church, Bal
timore, and Rev. L. Mallory, OF Havre de Grace
