q gay and numerous party had assembled at the
hour appointed and everybody seemed In high spirits
and bent upon having good time. Before the boat
reached the first landing place the sun broke out
chserlly in the heavens. the clouds dispersed
and 1t was evident that the day was going
TO be pleasant. The arrangements OF the boat left
nothing TO be desired IN the way OF convenience and
comfort. A fine breeze was blowing down the river
and most OF the excursiOnsts took possession OF the
decks to enjoy 1t. They were composed OF q far
higher class than those who usually make up the Sc
sunday parties, and we were very agreeably sur
prlsed to meet with 30 many respectable and we'll
dressed people. There were lovers there Of course
and brothers and sisters and several whole families
even down to the 'baby in arms" good deal OF
quiet counting went on from first to last, and here

influences OF the day and the occasion and were
happy The scenery both sides Of the river never
looked more charming than 1t did to-day Ii the SUBJ

who were inclined three hours to examine the sur

Rosyn, and we paid visit to his house. He and

STATEN ISLAND.

There are some people in this vreat metrops lis

little larger than goodsized pocket handkers hief.
How much they are mistaken they would readily
learn by taking trip there any day the we ek bot
especially on Sunday. Yesterday, as every body Ia
aware, was Sunday, and per consequence Staten
Island was favored with large crowd 6,f yis,ters
and pleasure seekers. Although the crowds were
large. they were not by any Ia rye an those
which patronized the Island during f.he previous
four or five Sundays. The boats wb ich leave the
foot Of Dey street every hour and h III ana convey
passengers to the north shore OF the slaDd az well

on board these boats there are pportunItes ofered
for TIE study Of human nature as mach as can be
found on any OF the excursion coats which leave the
city. Since the enforcement the Ex else law there
is little mducement offered to the eevotees or Bac.

result Is that the visitors are generally quiet and
good natured The majorit of the eXcursloniss are
those who have friends lvb az on tie Island or small
family parties the heads OF which have at least one

The island abounds in good roads and drives and

mands or coach owners may ENJOY pleasant ride.
But those who wish to foot 1t can leave the boat at
any of the various landings and find walks and

Island Railroad which leaves Vanderbilt landing on
the east side, finds numbers TO carry to New Dorp

this trip however, are mainly persons having some
kind country cousins residing at some Of the plea
sant villages along the rouse who nave cards OF
invitation from the clever fellows Of the Manhattan

either OF those two cssses or who have little Sun

Island delectabe place to visit; but those who are
obliged to go alone, trusting to whatever accommo.
dation or entertainment they may chance upon,
barring the pleasant sail down the bay will find the
Island poor place TO pass the sabbath.

and the Highlands. In spite OF the threatening
aspect Of the weather full hour before the depar
ture OF the steamer the approaches to the wharf at
the foot Of Warren street densely crowded. and
the rush to the boat proved that the excursion to
the highlands was one of the most popular. The ex-
cursionists were Of the most cosmopolitan charac-

together with large number of our American

inevitable. In the course OF an hour, how

the relief Of all concerned, the voyage was

and gllstened ID the sunlight SO nvitingly before
