THE MUSICAL PICNIC.


Wiesel Musical Institute yesterday was
one Of those completely successfal and
ENJOYABLE occasions that occur only
once in a dozen years, and which are
remembered with delight by all who
participated in the pleasures Of the day
and chagrin by those who failed to at
tend. To say that the excursionists
had "a jolly good time" but faiatl,
conveys the truth, it was gorgeous
perfectly splendid, delightful, and all
that sort Of thing, az was repeatedly
avowed by the ladies, the gentlemen of
the party sometimes expressing their
satisfaction in still more emphatic LAM
guage. II"
But they had good time, without
mistake, and = happier set Of excursion
lists b as never returned to this city than
came back at eleven o'clock last night
from the Wiesel Institute pic mic at
Cressp's Grove.
The party left the city yesterday
morning about eight o'clock accom-
panied by Kramer's band. The steam
er C. W. Hornbrook and two barges
afforded ample accommodation for the
200 or more that took passage,
and. it may be noted here, that
both upon the downward aud re-
turn trip the courtesy OF Captain
Ed. Horn brook and other officers OF the
boat elected many well deserved exs
pressious Of thanks from the excursion
ists. The party arrived at the grove
about ii o'clock and, preceded by the
band, marched 10 and took possession.
The weather wac delightful; the day
seemed to be especially ordered for the
pleasure OF the tbrong; and it was most
thoroughly enjoyed. After the lunch
which was relished with zest only ap"
preciated by those who have had a
similar experience, various games were
bad. Croquet and quoits at
tracted several groups, while
those who preferred TO dance
had ample opportunity and in
centive in the excellent music furnished
by Kramer's Orchestra.
About four o'clock an open air COM
cert was held, and it was unanimously
voted that never did music sound better
or the several singers acquit themselves
so we'll. The following is the pro-
gramme pursued:
l. Chorus by the lnstitute-"Now is
Gay and Sportive Pleasure"
2 Chorus by the Institute-'"The Tiger
Crouching."
3. Trio. Mrs. Whitney. DR.. Martin
and Prof. Roe-"T Naviganti. ~;
4. Orcestra.
S. Brass Band. -."
6. DuetE DR.. Martin and Mrs.
NATURALIZATION"
7. Mrs. Whitney-"Katie's Letter"
8. Prof. Roe-"When the Quiet
Moon is Beaming."
9. Elite Roemer-"Home Of my
Heart"
10. Duet. Mrs. Whitney aud Mrs..
Henuegen-"Fly Away, Burden
II. Prof. Roe-"Speak to Me-"
r. Cborus-"Die Wscht am Rhein !"
accompanied by Kramers band. >.
The. return trip was the most de-.
ligbtful part OF the pleasure Of de-.
lightful day. A cool breeze swept the
river and music with its voluptuous
SWELL charmed away both lassitude
and care.
.'soft eyes looked love to eyes which spoke
az ain,
And ali went merry as marriage bell"
The boat arrived at the wharf about
eleven o'clock last night, and the ex-
cursionists all we'll pleased with their
trip, scattered to their several homes to
enjoy a sound and refreshing nights
repose. 1t must be added as affording
some additional explanation OF the
pleasures of the day that Col. Thomas
Hornbrook contributed magnificent
bouquets and a proIuse display Of
flowers. and Charley Bebler furnished
plentiful supply Of ice cream.
When next the Wsesel Institute 60
pic-nicipg may we be there to see.
