An Evening on the River.

For years past Washingtonians who belong
to the cant getaway club have been in need of
philanthropst whowould come to their relief
during the hot season, by starting an enter
prise by which a pleasant evening could be
spent on the river and the fresh air enjoyed.
At last this boDu has come in the shape Of the
barge Cockade City, which, through the cu-
crgy of her owners, Messrs. President McPyn.
cheou, Secretary Brad, Adams, aud Treasurer
White, is ut the disposal of the public every
"Wednesday and Friday evening, for five
hours sail on the Potomac. What with music
aud dancing, these excursions are most enjoy.
able, aud they receive, as they deserve, the
patronage Of our best citizens. No offensive
persons are allowed on board. 1t would be
well for the community il the managers would
give au excursion every evening during the
hot weather Tho prejudice which once ex-
listed against the barge has entirely died out,
for In recent gale on the river she was put to
a most severe test, which proved that she is u
safe boat beyond dispute.
