joyed by the participants. Capt.
Wheeler understands handling
canal packet, and is clever, &C
commodating, sociable gentleman.
and for his efforts TO make the ex-
cnrsion a pleasant one last Sunday
he had the kindest thanks Of all
present. In passing up and down
the Canal a great number of bridges
and gates, hanging exceedingly near
the water, have to be passed, which
require an immense amount OF
bowling and dodging on the part OF
those who go down to see in canal
boats. Tie party went up the
Canal some four five miles, rid
ing in the famed Red Jacket, which
was towed up 10y one horse. Re-
turning, the boat f1oated down the
current, swiftly and gracefully, maxi
ing about four miles an hour.
When the bridges thrown across
the Canal are raised to the proper
highth, aid gates arranged so as not
to be in the way of boats, an excur-
sion on the Canal will be delight
tul; and we predict that they will
be of frequent occurrence in the
near future.
