THE LAST EXCURSION OF BEoK's BAND To-
MoRRow.-The final excursion of Beck's Phila-
delphia Band, No. 1, positively the last of the
season, will take place tomorrow, Saturday,
August 81, the last boat leaving Walnut street
wharf at 7-30 A. NJ, This excursion will be
by rail over the Camden and Amboy and other
railroads. and q variation of former programmes
will be made which will allow all to remain
eight hours at Long Branch. Here there will
be much sightseeing to do on that day, and it
will not be unlikely that the greater part of the ex-
cursionists would prefer to stop over at this point
rather than to go on to New York Bay as before.
The series of trotting matches at Monmouth
Park, Long Branch, will take place on that day,
and the grand review and dress parade of Fisks
celebrated 9th Regiment, now encamped at the
Branch, can be witnessed. Their encampment,
also, can be inspected by all who are interested
in such matters. The number of tickets for
the excursion has positively been limited, so as
to avoid all danger of an overcrowded train, as
on a former occasion. Tickets cannot be
will any one be allowed upon the train without
a ticket. The fare for the entire excursion is
only $3.50, which certainly is not large sum,
considering what is furnished for the money.

whilst officers Shern, of the Fifth, and Harri-

they entered, when Officer Shern climbed fence

done so than pistol bullet went whizzing past
his ear. OF course he soon got down off that
fence: Proceeding more cautiously further
