We discovered q considerable improve
ment in the condition Of the buildings on
the Point. While old and delapidated
cottages have been torn away. others had
been renovated and neatly whitewashed.
The Hotel, very 6uc building. has been
fitted up and is nov conducted BY Messrs.
Chas. aud James Milburn. To these
gentleman We are indebted for kindness
and attention, and wish them success.
Hacks were very scarce. but'tvo young
gentlemen Of our party succeeded in hiring
one. in which thcJ made the circuit Of
the Hotel. We saw them coming. and
not recognizing them, thought. maybe
that the Governor and Genl Carr had
changed their minds aud had returned te
the Point BY land. The turn out va.
very good. only it took too many drivers.
It was impossible for one to do all the
work.
Only one Of our party got lost. and b.
seemed to think SO hard Of it, His friend:
were very much blamed by him. and whcr
rejoining them gave them a piece Of hin
mind. 10 bis wandering he met anoth
er. not Virginia. but boy. who brough
him to the Hotel. Some four party tool
advantage Of the occasion. and plunged
into the Bay, while two others took bath
in the Potomac. At nigh. . Ball wal
given to the Regiment which was in pro.
gress when the order came to US "Al
aboard"
The Return IL o'clock Monday
night our sails were filled and the mia.
tilda Spicer" headed Cor home-''Capt G.
at the helm. 1t 10 strange that going
home should. in a great many cases. b
more tedious that going away. Going t.
and coming from Ball are very different
thing, Each man now looked ont for ,
bed and retired. We were very much
distsrhed by ice eating. We have Away.
thought i q very strange fancy to ca. ice
after going to bed, but they say. tba
some Ustcms require it. And whe
would think that the ex-Sheriff could
dance jig. or take the part Of . drum
major. but l tell you be did both Of thsst
things to perfection. Our sail home val
not very interesting. The wind had
fallen and We were something like thai
painted ship" At last We reached
home about o'clock Tuesday morning,
and sang "Homs Again" A vote o.
thanks was rendered Capt. Foxwsll fol
his kindness and gentlemanly manner Il
rs during the entire trip.
