The Boat Club Entertainment Last Eve
ming.
A more beautiful sight was never seen at any
point on the grand old Mississippi, nor any
other river, than that seen from the bridge and
upper Third street last evening. The boat
house and the upper part Of the island were
brilliantly illuminated disclosing the outlines
of two immense pavilions of canvas and
bunting and the thousand lights were reflected
from the clear bosom of the river in subdued
and placid splendor, while the pale beams OF
the bright full moon shimmered and glistened
upon the ripping waters like stream OF
molten silver. Hundreds and hundreds of eyes
looked down from the bridge and from the
bluffs on Third street upon the scene which
seemed like view from fairyland.
And hundreds Of ears drank in the delightful
harmonies borne softly on the evening air, mel
| lowed and sweetened by the intervening water.
| 1t was a sight to be remembered, and many old
citizens said they had never before SO fully
realized the beauties and capabilities of the
river scenery. Brilliant and gay as was the
scene on the island and beneath the canvassed
roofs the scene, as viewed from the bridge, far
exceeded it. In this instance at least distance
| lent enchantment to the view. 1t was re-
marked, too, that the Great Western band
played unusually well even for that excellent
organization.
