Yesterday was the day selected by the gentle
men OF the Turtle club for their annual excur-
sion for tho ladies and babies. The Turtles are
not selfish, and they distribute certain number
Of tickets to those OF their friends who are will
ing to spend a pleasant day with their families,
Wawaset the boat. About o'clock a. m. each
car down Seventh street was crowded with fam
lilies, representing several generations, all laden
with large baskets, suf1cient to accommodate
pltality.
A pleasant sail OF two hours and Glymont was
reached, the best spot selected, baskets IN
packed, and eating declared 10 order. After
dinner there was dancing In the pavilion for
such as wished TO indulge, and q general romp
for the little ones. So well did all enjoy them
selves that the hour nxed for the return crept
on and took them unawares, and the boat was
loaded for the up trip with regret. The weather
was warm, but, with that exception, the day
was enjoyed by all who were present.

about twenty feet from where they had been
piled. The whirl then took course around the

disappeared.
