STEAMER HUDSON.
Handsome Testimonial To the COur-
tesy of Her Officers,

On the excursion trip Of the steamer
Hudson to the Cincinnati Musical Fes-
tival the many passengers were so de-
lighted with the fidelity and courtesy OF
her officers that instead Of the usual set
OF resolutions, they determined to give
some more substantial token OF their es-
TEEN, and as the result of this determine
ton they had u reunion on the boat, on
which occasion they presented the boat
with magnificent set oil colors, lnclud-
ing a flag 10x24 feet, Union jack lOx
u feet and a streamer, with the device
Hudson" 80 feet long. The colors were
procured in Philadelphia through the
house of &. Mendel, Booth Il Co., and
are of the finest and best material pre-
durable III the market.
Rarely in the social history Of Wheel
ing has u more notable and select COM
psuy assembled than grsced the cabin of
this steamer last evening, many OF the
ladies and gentlemen appearing in dress.
The cabin presented one of the most bril-
/ liant scenes we ever witnessed rs the
fifty couples Of merry dancers tresded
the "mszy" down its long length ID the
voluptuous playing Of the Lutte by Josie
Krgmer's fail band.
During the festivities three young
ladies, Misses Hesrne, Holloway and
Hildreth escorted Captain List and clerks
Charlie List aud Will Stephens to the
ladies cabin where they were confronted
by Judge Cochran, who, after few
very pleasant witicism about speech
making, &c, that they had so won the
affections and esteem of the persons whom
they bad so lately under their care that
they wished 10 give some token of their
feelings and selected as the best
testimonial set Of colOrs to
the boat. The flag reminded
US of our love of country, but in this case
II had another signiticance-lOve OF
friends, and concluded with the sentl-
ment, Long may it wave" Captain
List responded: "Ladies and gentlemen,
accept with pleasure the beautiful
colors which you so kindly present to
our steamer, and as they wave In the
breeze will constantly remind us of our
friends who were our companions on the
excursion to Cincinnati" The call from
Josie Kramer, call waltzy," put an end to
the ceremonies, and all joined heartily in
the dizzy waltz. Hardly had this
been concluded, than the steward,
70 better one does not run the rlver) an
nouLced Refreshments, and the tables
were soon loaded with everything that
anyone could wish for. After supper
dancing was resumed and continued un-
til late hour. Josie Kramer fairly ex-
celled himself, and made many Of the
older people forget their age and join
heartily in the festivities. The venerable
chemist, Mr.. Lee Petit, presided over
the department with his accustomed
grace and skill. There was nothing &C.
CURED to mar the pleasure of the occa-
sion, which will ever be remembered by
both the officers and guests as one OF the
pleasantest of their lives.
