Overture from Richter Wheeling CITY Eand.
Old Hundred band and s. School.
The fine rendering Of all the pieces by
the Wheeling City Band was loudly ap.
plauded and showed the highest order Of
musical ability. The officers, teachers
and children Of the Sunday School and
the railroad officials felt proud Of the
ability and gentlemauly conduct OF the
band they had with them.
N z 10 TIE AMusEMESTs
were quite varied and heartily entered
into by old and young. Not one obiec1
tionable feature came TO our observation,
nd-inquiry among Remembers Of other
churches confirmed our own observation.
The hospitality Of " . -
CAPT. HARRY sHIRLs,
who owns the grove, was unboundel.
He is a man after "ye'local's" own heart.
Capt. Shirf, was at one time the propr ie.
tor Of the ST. Charles Hotel, Pittsburgh,
Pa, and rendered it a popular resort for
the travelling public. His own home is
ever open to dispense kindness and hos
pitAlitytoall who visit him. We mnst
also make; mention Of Mr. John Baird,
brother q Dr.. Geo Baird otSthis city,
who lessencd many burdens yesterday by
transportation for baskets,
&C., from the train TO the grove, and
would like TO mention other names if we
had them, "A who kept evil.doers
from the Uadjacent grounds, and
rendered valuable help in making the
day pass pleasantly.
TuEoNLY UNPLEASANT FEATURE
which marred the great joy Of the excur.
sionists was a visit from Washington,
Pa, rowdies, Howi fellows OF the basest
sort" who came, loaded with bad whisky,
to create disturbance. They tried to en-;
tice littlechildren to drink the poisoned
stuff, and when demonstrated with at.
force, striking Herschel Thomp-
son with knucklers and making n fierce
attack on Conductor Billy Brown. They
succeeded in getting themselves hand.
sOmely whipped, and also arrested. No
one was hurt save the rowdies, Conductor
Brown fairlyiknockipg them around gen
orally, and with the other railroad oth-
cials restoring order in few minutes.
HoMEwARD.
At 6 o'clock the order was given to
prepare for the honieward trip, and the
sections OF trains followed each other at
intervals OF twenty minutes. At Q o'clock
the last section had reached the front Of
the chapel from which the start was
made in the morning. and 10 cheering
and music, the scholars, teachers, parents
and friends wended their way to'their
various homes, prepared for a sound, re-
freshing sleep. The committee deserve
all praise for the conduct Of the excur-
sion. The refreshm6nt department was
admirably managed by Edwin s. Rust
and a number OF assistants, and indeed
every body concerned did their duty nobIy
and have the satisfaction Of knowing that
they have had the largest and most sue
cessfuI excursion which has ever left our
city. The 10Th street English Lutherans
added new laurels to their already fine
reputation yesterday.
