SUNDAY EXCURSIONS.
The delaware western Il. h. makes
,.r Ftrst Sunday ExcurSiOn OF
the Season.

The Delaware Western n. u. MAKE.
her First SUNDAY Excursion OF
the Season.
Yesterday morning for the first time
.h;s summer the Delaware Western X.
R. commenced running her usual Sun
dav excursion on the road. The trains
heretofore have only extended to Lam
denberg, but now that their road ex'
tends to pomeroy, the train runs to the
tsrmipus of the road. The fare to Pom
eroy on week days is $l.l4which makes
it s2.1S to 60 and return. On Sundays
the excursion tickets are only 70 cents
and the fare is so low as to be within
the reach Of all. The SO excursions
takes place upon day when many
who are employed during the week
cannot afford to take days recrea-
ton.
The train left this city at $40, con-
ductor A. Hughes, in charge, two cars
we're attached to the engine. The
press was represented by Merris Taylor
Of the "Gazette, )" Col. d. 7. Bradford Of
the "Dramatic News" New York, AL.
fred Collins, OF the "Morning Herald,'
and Thomas s. Pugh, of the REpuBLl'
CAN. The representatives of the press
were under the charge of Col. John G.
Farra, the efficient Auditor of the d. u
p. Railroad. =,
Leaving this city at the time stated
above, the train stopped at all the sta,
tions, passengers getting on board ana
others leaving the train as the case
\ might be. A colored quarterly meeting
. was in progress short distance from
New Garden, and at several stations
along the route large number OF de-
yotees boarded the train.
The train arrived at Stottsville
ll.3O, and the representatives OF the
press under the charge of Col. Farra,
were conducted to the Stottsville House,
Maris T. Chandler, proprietor. Attel
registering our names, the proprietor o
the hotel Informed us that dinner woulc
soon be ready, which news, OF course
We were pleased to receive as the pleas
ant ride had sharpened our appetites
Shortly after IL o'clock dinner wa
announced, and ample justice was dom
to the elegant and sumptuous repast
for as a caterer Mr.. Chandler certainly
understands his business.
After dinner part of the Afternoon
was devoted to reading, and at $50 tn
party walked to Pomeroy about hal
mile from Stottsville. What a quie
place Poneroy is on Sunday, for on
week day at this place over hundre'
trains pass to and fro so that 1t present
business like appearance, but on Sun
days the trains do not ron so often
and one would scarcely know that h
was at Pomeroy.
At 3 o'clock conductor Hughes warn
ed MS that il was time to leave, an
giving the accustomed call aboard,
we took a seat in the car and the tral
started for Wilmington. A great man
persons have an idea that the roa
from Pomeroy to Landenberg is in ba
condition. Such is not the case by an
means, as that portion of the road is
good condition. The only inconvel
iepce is that several of the station
houses along that portion OF the roa
are not in as good condition as they al
from Iandenberg to Wilmington.
In conversation with Mr.. Chandler
the genial proprietor of the Stottsvill
House he was of the opinion that II u
Delaware Western Road would run
morning train from Pomeroy to WI
mington, there would be more trav
on the road. Since conversing viii
Mr.. Chandler, the reporter was iptorr
ed from reliable source, that as SOC
as the officers are satisfied that the pc
ple living in that section of the COUNT
are willing to patrOnize morning ira
they will put one on.
The trip to this city was a pleasa
one. The country looks perfectly bea
tiful in its green coat, and the co
breeze caused many of the passenge
to dislike the idea of soon returning
the city. There we're more passenge
on the return trip than there was
the morning train. This was, perhar
owing to the fact that number hi
gone up the road during Saturday.
The train arrived in this city short
after S O'Clock. These excursions W
be repeated every Sunday during t
Summer season. and those who go
them will no doubt be- delighted wi
the trip, as it will ba both prohtat
and pleasant one.
