Sfnten Island.

staten Island has always been favorte resort for
Sunday excursoniss. Yesterday the bright sun which
rejoiced the heart OF Gotham with It's smiling rays
had the effect OF determining many to spend the
hours of their weekly holiday away from the close
and heated streets OF the city and to enjoy the day
OF rest among the green fields and within reach OF
the cooling breezes which came from over
the bosom or the bay. The Staten Island boats
were not forgotten by the thousands
but all through the morning. the afternoon and
persons seeking change of scene and air, away from
the places made familiar by every day association.
seated in one OF these these boats crowded in almost
rious specimens Of the genus homo coDgregated
upon the decks and In the cabins. There was the
father accompanied by his wife and children and
provided with baskets containing the days
repast the clerk dressed In the most fash
ionabe style, and exhibiting himself as II be
thought his makeup the very acme OF good
taste; the working girl enjoying to the full the
gentle breeze which kissed her cheek and played
joiced in the opportunity Of feeling free from the
demands OF daily toll; the merchant and the mendi
cant, the employed and the employer-a,l mixing in
the motley throng and enjoying the same sensations
Of delight and satisfaction when the boats
reached the various landings portions Of the
Heterogeneous crowd passed Oh, some TO ram
bic among the hills, others 70 extend their
journey further up the island, and yet others TO
gather round the tables in front Of the varou. hotels
and there indulge In their blbuous propensities, the
Excise law notwithstanding. Az the afternoon sd.
vanced q storm came on and no sooner did therain
boats and many started for their homes rather than
run the chance OF "duckng.n owing TO this fact
the evening boats for New York were not too much
crowded and the return trip was shus made
more comfortable Parties were formed in tie
cabins and upon the decks, and the time was soon
passed In song and general merriment On one OF
the boats religious enthusiast undertook TO
turn the cabin into q church, and to deliver
q religious address, which IN It's commencement was
more rambling than Interesting; but his anxiety for
the religious welfare OF his fellow passengers received
sudden check at the hands OF one OF the employees,
who unceremonlously ordered him to bring his dis
course 10 an untimely conclusion.

Up the Hudson.


Among the many excursion parties which left
the city yesterday, that which chose the steamboat
Sleepy Hollow for their transit could take fore
most place. The steamboat Sleepy Hollow was built
TO compete with the Hudson River Railroad in
carrying passengers to and from West Point, Cold
Spring and Newburg, and in order to do this 1t was
necessary that good accommodations at a moderate
fare should be furnished and that withal the boat
should be able TO make the trip IN reasonably fast
time. All these requisites have been furnished by
the proprietors OF the boat The boa, they say.

Newburgh in alite over three hours. IL Us fitted up
in style aifOrding ease and comfort
to passengers, and Is at the same time most elegant
party which embarked on board yesterday morning
must have numbered fully 1000 or 1900 and was
composed OF people. TO all appearances OF the high
est responsibility. There was none OF the trough"
element on board, as the trip Is such that for
that gent It would be "a long time between

quiet pleasant excursion, or on the way to make a
Call on some friend in the country. The company,

fine vessel such select lot Of uOpa0eatrS, ana such
few hours up the Hudson breathing the pure air OF
Heaven and feasting the eye and the mind on the
beauties Of nature which abound along the route ana
the happy thoughts which they give rise to could not
be otherwise than delightful The boat started from
Fulton ferry, Brooklyn at eight O'Clock In the morn
ing touched at Christopher street and Thlrtyfourtn
street piers and then sped on its way. AT each Of
the stopping places there was O crowd in waiting,
which looked at first as large enough to fill the en-
tire boat; but there was room enough for all, and
the old saying was frequently repeated by persons
in the crowd, 'The more the merrier."
The several landings were made In due season
and Newburg was reached about one r. NJ. Two
hours were allowed for sklrnsh through the
quiet town and the adjacent country Shortly after
three O'Clock the PROV was turned again toward
the metropolis. Many who had left the boat empty
handed came back bearing boughs or bouquets as
testimonials of the fact that they had really been in
the country AS the gallant craft steadily approached
the city the rain storm, whl ch had been threatening
for some time, came on quite lively. There was
a good natured scramble for shelter In the cabins.
Beyond the loss Of a little more perspiraton and
a little crushing OF neat summer dresses during the
cr0wding Of the cabin there was no damage done.
No accidents IN any kind occurred and the crowds
were deposited at the various landing places IN this
city and Brooklyn all cheerful and thankful after
and for their trip. and many perhaps at the same
