A SMALL PARTY, BUT DAY OF PLEASURE AND IN
TEREsT.
Mr., I, p. Il. Smiths excursion, yesterday, to
Maunch Chunk and around the famous Gravity
Railroad was very poorly patronized. The party
consisted of less than 125 persons-too small a
number to run a special train over the p, W. Il
b. Railroad, so three cars, conveying the party,
were Joined TO the q. As train and proceeded with
it as far as Grays Ferry, where they switched
OFF to pass around on the connecting road to Erie
Avenue. The North Penna. Railroad Company
refused to allow the cars to be hooked on to
their regular train, 30 the remainder Of the trip
was made behind special engine.
Tho rldo was pefy pleasant one through rich
and fertile agricultural region, as fsr at Rether
hem. Here the scenery changes, and pursuing
the valley of the Lehigh, the eyes of the party
were first regaled with sight, novel to most of
it, of the many iron works located therein, and
then with the grandeur of the lofty mountain
ranges which ever and anon lift their heads sky
ward. They increase in number, altitude and ine
terest as Mauch Chunk is neared, and dressed
in their autumn garb Of gold and brown and
flame, they possess beauty unriyalled in nature
and inconceivabe to the human mind.
Mount Pisgah was assembled the decvity of
the gravity road was threaded to the base of
Summit Hill where the cars were again drawn
up an inclined plane and winding its way
through the lovely woodland scenery returned to
the base Of Mt. Fisgah plane in about "a hours,
having tarried about twenty minutes at the town
of Summit Hill
The cars left Mauch Chunk at five o'clock on
the return, without the occurrence of any incl
dent worthy Of note save u detention of 3&
hours at slekfried's Bridge by the wreck of
coal train at Catasaqua--ahead of the excursion
party. This delay prevented connection with
either the or 80 trains from Philadelphia,
and the excursionists did not arrive here until
2l6 this morning.
