ADDRESSES.
After an hour spent in strolling
around the village and along the
banks of the river, the picnickers as
sembled on the depot platform and
the assemblage was called to order by
T. s. Marchant, of Palisade, who in
troduced Thomas Porter, of Santa
Cruz. MIR. Porter delivered a short
but eloquent address on the principles
of Odd Fellowship, which IA loudly
applauded. At its conclusion loud
calls we're made for Mr.. Gray, who,
after a few amusing remarks, closed
with a feeling tribute to the good
work and charitable objects of the
Order. At the conclusion Of the
speeches tbs band discoursed some
good music, and then everybody
Joined in the merry dance. The
Eureka quadrille band had been en-
gagged; a canvass was spread between
the depot building and the express
office, and on this the merry throng
kept up the terpsichorean part of the
exercises. The day was cool and
pleasant, and the improvised ball was
M of the jolliest kind. Conductor
Kicker was the feature of the occasion,
although Jim Singleton divided the
honors with him. Captain Chatnblin
was master of ceremonies and general
ladies' man, and of course everything
was bound to go right. An occasional
shower, by way Of variety, would
clear the platform for a few moments,
but it never lasted long enough to
spoil a spring bonnet, or dampen any
ardOr.
EASTERN BOUND.
AT 1920 P. NJ. the eastern-bound
passenger train Numbered into the
depot, and the overland passengers
gathered or the platform to look at
the picnickers, and were seemingly
astonished at meeting such a light
hearted crowd away out in the des-
ert. After a ten minutes stay on
she went, the passengers waving their
handkerchiefs and shouting merry
adieus. The regular Eureka train
pulled out of the depot at 4 o'clock,
leaving behind their coach for the
better accommodation Of the excur
siouisls. Dancing was kept up until
6 O'Clock, when the people once more
sought the hospitable hotels and took
aboard a good supper in anticipation
of the long return ride.
AT ~ O'Clock P. NJ. the train
moved up to the depot; a grand rush
ensued for good seats, and amid the
cheers of everybody the start was
made. The return trip was without
incident. Everybody was tired and
sleepy and felt good when tie train
rolled into Eureka ut | o'clock A. NJ.

on the generous citizens of Palisade,
who done everything that laid in their
power to make the day a pleasant n
for their guests. They had, at the sac
rlfice of considerable time and money,
decorated all of the stores, buildings
and halls, with beautiful evergreens,
flowers, wreaths and flags, aud the
town presented a splendid appearance.
Great credit is due Messrs. Lawler,
Hogle, Marchant, Captain Rabbits, j.
Bell and other citizens, for their exer-
tons in behalf of the excursionists,
and their praises will be sung by the
Eurekans for days to come. The Rail-
road Company deserve credit for the
promptness with which the train vas
moved, and the care exercised by their
employees. Capt. Chamblin was courte-
Gus and attentive, and made his part of
the business pleasant for everybody.
Lodge can congratulate it
sslf on its success in c%onceiving and
carrying out the programme to a
termination, and will realize
a substantial addition to its treasury.
The complete success of this excursion
will no doubt be the means of inau-
gurating others of a like character,
and il so, we hope we may be dele
gated to report the trip.
