THE FIREMANs' EXCURSIoN.-NO OF
withstanding the inclemency Of the wealth
Ell Saturday, the annual excursion OF the
Augusta Fire Company to Mlll2oro', was
q most decided success, and WAS the occa-
sion of much innocent pleasure. The
train left the city at A. NJ, with about
two hundred persons aboard, many OF
whom were ladies, and arrived at its desti-
nation after a pleasant run of about an
hour and half AS had been anticipated,
it raned at intervals during the entire
dav, thus precluding archery and various
other outdoor sports which had been an
nounced in the programme. Nevertheless,
all seemed determined to enjoy themselves,
and in dancing, and skating, tete-a-tete-
ing, &c., soon forgot everything else
Roller skating and dancing alternated dur
ing the day, and we found the former ex-
ercise particularly exhilarating. The af-
ter effects are so pleasant.
The Stonewall brass band and Kava-
naugh's string band were both i'll attend
ance, and discoursed charming music dur
ing the day, and the committee OF arrange
ments were ubiquitous in their efforts to
contribute to the comfort and pleasure OF
the participants in the affair. Mr.. Var
borough, of the Ml!lboro' House, furnish
ed the dinner, which was gotten up i'll ele-
CANT style-the table being furnished with
! every obtainable delicacy. After dinner,
dancing and skating was resumed and kept
up until about five O'Clock, when the eX-
cursionists took the train homeward- bound
arriving here about O'Clock 2. M. All
were pleased with their days experience
on a Fireman's Excursion. Everything
was properly and orderly conducted, and
nothing occurred to mar the enjoyment
and merriment, but much'to reflect credit
upon the organization and it's officers.
