neers, returned this evening. The
steamer could not accommodate all who

great dissatisfaction, and an informal

told by the officers Of the vessel that not
another person would be allowed to 60
on board. A President of one Of the 90
cieties, in full regalia, gave his name and

severely censured for selling tickets to
others than Pioneers, which resulted in
their exclusion from participation in the

Pioneers, designated one member from
each society to receive tickets for all the
members. Tickets were given to these
committee men, but not enough for all
the members here. Every member Of an
interior society purchased his excursion
ticket at the price Of one dollar each.
