The w. T.. Il. A. Excursion.

Notwithstanding the threatening
clouds at times portending rain through
the day, last evening was everything
that could be desired for a moonlight
excursion, except that the moon did
not rise until the excursion was half
over. The managers were very much
gratifed when they went down to the
wharf and saw such a large crowd
awaiting'the appearance of the " Susie
A. MCCALL"
The "Susie" being detained on ac-
count Of having to await the arrival of
both the "Republic" and "Tom. Clyde"
from Cape May, did not arrive at the
wharf until about half past eight
o'clock. This detention having worked
to the disadvantage Of the Association,
Captain Denney generously knocked of
$40 from the chartered price of the
boat. 1t was nearly nine O'Clock when
the boat left the wharf with about 225
excursionists and Crozier's orchestra
filling the air with melody.
The excursion extended up the Della
ware within sight of League Island
Navy Yard and returned, reaching the
wharf at 1890 A. NJ, every body beirg
we'll pleased with the trip. The ex-
cursionists enjoyed delightful moon
light on their return. The managers
are gratified to know that their receipts
will exceed their expenses by very
