Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1878-06-23
PERSONAL AND IMPERSONAL

The Presbyterian Sunday School picnic
party from Virginia and Gold Hill, composed
principally of the teachers of the Sunday
schools and their pupils, passed through Car
son yesterday morning, bound for the Bowers
Mansion, and returned last night. The ex-
eursiOn was accompanied by Varney's band.
There we're two passenger coaches and two
fat cars filled with the pcknickers. The train
stopped long enough on the return trip to re-
port good time at the Mansion.
"Threats of rain shower which has not
been carried out " is not the best of English,
ia not MORNING APPEAL grammar, but such
crooked syntax got into local item yester-
day. Mistakes, you know, will occur in es-
Establishments even presided over by Vulcan
himself.
The Carson Glass Ball Club will have an
other friendly contest to-day. c. D. Meder,
a member of the Club, has erected shed, or
covering, under which the shooters can stand
while knocking the glass balls into smith
Greens. The ground selected is short dis
tance east of town and few yards to the
right of the railroad track.
w. A. Perkins, of Virginia City, who was
among the excursionsts to the Bowers Man
sion yesterday, had with him that Winchester
rife sent out from the East by DR.. Carver.
1t certainly is beautiful gun, its value being
about $3.50 Perkins is to have a shot gun
made for him in London under the direction
of Dr. Carver.
Through a telegram yesterday received here
from Capt. Avery, from Glenbrook, We learn
that the steamer Niagara has been temper
arily forced to lay up, through some accident
to the machinery, but will be making her
regular trips in a few days
The excursion train for Bowers and Steam
boat will leave here this morning at 10 o o'clock
Remember that Piper's Opera House Band
furnishes the music for the occ tsion. Also ,
remember that you can make the round trip
for one dollar Here is a splendid chance for
a cheap day S recreation.
More Carson excursionists yesterday started !
for the Lake, VIM P Prescott, Assayer OF
the Mint, and j. NJ Hetrick, Assistant |
M,lter and Rehner, beingamong the pleasure
seekers. The former will cnntne his ram
blings to the Lake, but the liter viii extend
his journeylng to San Francisco.
That precocious boy who always sings ont
at a railroad depot " Git aboard, an if ye
cant git aboard git a shiugle,' still lives
Starting in a half a century ago with this jU
venile witticsn, he was killed and cremated
r -.
Of that somewhat hackneyed bird the PhJeniX
he kept shaking the ashes from himself, and
springs up with renewed vigor. We saw
and heard him at the train yesterday, and
will probably continue to do while we have
eyes and ears in unimpaired condition.
Vacation in the Carson public schools will
commence on Friday of next week, and will
continue until the LIST of September next.
The pupils are looking forward to a time of
genuine enjoyment, when the penalties for
playing hockey will be dead letter in the
school statutes; when bird-nests will be care
fully but We trust not ruthlessly examined +
and when the grub and angle worm will be
in demand We fear there is trife of affec- ;
tation in the love of school, but we know
there is none in the love of vacation. And +
we strongly suspect that the teachers them !
selves while affecting to regard the vacation 3
as bore, really look forward to it as hope t
fully rs do those under their charge. r
The collection committee, appointed on last
Friday evening to raise money to defray tie ,
expenses of the Fourth of July celebration
here, were out yesterday afternoon and met 7
with very encouraging success. They will f
finish up on Monday next
The Whitney party left last night, immedi-
ately after the concert, by private conveyance :,
for Reno, where they were to take the train =.
for Ogden this morning. ~
