finally steamed out from the wharf After
making a start to turn her bow down the stream,
it was decided that she had too many, and she
relanded, and Mr.. A. O., of the executive commit

The steamer made beautiful and majestic ap-

boat clubs of the District. Blue and red lanterns
were also hung respectively r Il in honor Of the
