bracing air upon the water was their object, and
the SUN sOutnorly DroeLe tnhL was blowing yes
terday must have made the trip most delight
full one. The inner man was apparently we'll
provided for, to judge from tho well laden bas-
kots which were sent on board; not forgetting
the favorite beverage of all Germans--lager
boer. We have no doubt they had q pleasant
time.

left the corner of Seventh and streets north,
with about eighty citizens of jewish persuasion,

bles, wero bound to Silver HILL Prince Georges
county, for the purpose of spending the day and
