iaf PRESS EXCURSION TO SHIRLEY
| Concerning this lit is only necessary te
lsay' few words, for already the sale o
tickets assures large attendance Of the bes
people OF the city. It is very probable thut
the barge Greenbush will be obtaiued and
lashed close beside the Pamfico, so that
there will be ample room for comfortably
seating the whole company and full opDor'
tunity given the young folks who may wish
to engage in dancing. The floor Of the
barge has just been reiaid with nice, smooth
plank. A dozen sets can dance there as
well as in any ballroom. A roof will pro-
tect the people from the sun, while the open
sides and ends give full scope to the breezes.
The programme includes instrumental mu-
sic by Professor kessnich's corps, vocal
music by sextette of the old Philharmonic
Association. glass-ball and rifie-shooting,
boat-race between the Coquette and Oriole
(of the kanawha Club for prize, the chin
niHg championship, the fisherman's-hat con-
test, dancing, &c.
The members of the Press Club have done
their best to make the company select, and
believe they have succeeded WE'LL Tickets
to considerable number have been sold to
gentlemen who will carry ladies. Every
possible effort will be made to insure the en-
joyment OF the ladies. Many persons will
hand to furnish all needed supplies, and
those who do not care to be bothered with
baskets can purchase Of him.

Hamilton and w. NJ. Habliston; coXswain,
Master Dabney II. Maury. The Orioles
crew will be +. V. Samuels, j. II. Ander-
son, and Thomas Christian; coxswain,
Daniel Mendoza. These were the prize
boats at the recent regatta. The river at
Shirley is very broad-equal to great bay
and it is to he expected that the race will be
fine one.
The Pamlico will leave the wharf OF the
Old Dominion Steamship Company at s
O'Clock tomorrow morning. The street
cars will be running in ample time to take
people down to their terminus, few
squares from the wharf. Special arrange
monts have been made with CARRIER to fur

recently fitted up and provided with avn

festive as anyof its predecessors.
