lightful, except the middle OF rhc day
when the rays of old Sol are not pleasant,
but then we dine and recline under the
shade of some friendly tree, and 30 escape
the only objection to full day upon the
water The prominent feature of the
week past was dinner given in honor
and to the Pullman party, now camping
on this beautiful isle of the same name.
Henry r. Heath, Esq of New York,
guest of the st. Lawrence, was the host
and through him as fine dinner as was
ever served, was given upon Island No.
10. Champagne flowed as freely '.s water,
while ice cream cooled the party to
congenial degree and the flow
of wit and humor-was rare enjoyment.
The dinner consisted Of 16 courses, and
was served under the shelter of the stars
and stripes, and seldom has it been my
good fortune to meet more congenial
party beneath the good cid flag. The
many painful scenes-meeting and part
ing under our national emblem expert
enoed by many, from 81 to 65, formed a
great contrast to the one of that day.
Toasts were given to our host-Ihe La
dies, The st. Lawrence, and The Press
The compliment was returned by j. III.
Pullman, Esq, on the following day, and
Pullman IsleI made glorious in the mera-
DRY of all present. In my next shall
furnish an account of the dinner and OF
the Hop given by the residents soon af-
ter.
AS quiet, healthy retreat, I claim for
the spot superiority over all others, and
assure all who favor us with few days
sojourn, pleasant time and plenty OF
fsh-fshing continues good until October
and the guests continue to arrive IN
droves. Trusting that my items will
crafty and enlighten all,
I remain,
