Monday evening and the morning OF
Tuesday were employed in hurrying
around in a vain endeavor to put a
weeks work into day, and at noon
Yesterday, accounts were settled, hotel
bills paid and everything prepared for
return. The Weddell House, from its
central location and other advantages,
was a sort of headquarters during the
stay and the starting point for the vari-
Gus jaunts in and about the city. Mr..
George 7. Ross, formerly OF this city
and well and favorably known here, is
chief clerk, and to his personal popular
ity is due large portion OF the patron
age OF the hotel.
Yesterday afternoon, after a last re-
gretful glance at beautiful Cleveland,
glitter.ng in the rain, and at the attrac-
tive lake, whose usually tranquil bosom
was then heaving wildly, the excursion,
lists boarded their train and ratified
home, reaching Bridgeport at $3.50 in the
evening. Much credit is due to Messrs.
Siebke, Sandrock and kull for the sue
cess of the expedition. Nothing was
forgotten or left undone and the per-
lection OF every arrangement contributed
largely to the comfort and enjoyment OF
the party. They give several more ex-
cursions during the season, which, from
past experience may be put down as
successes.
