speaking of fthe excursion on the Gazelle
from Fairport to Port Stanely Tuesday last
the Painesyille Telegraph says the steam
er arrived at Port Stanley at2PM where it
remained but an hour, and that hour of
incessant rain. Returning, they left at
three, crossing in a heavy sea and reach
ing FairpOrt at II P NJ, being out eight
hours There was nearly five hundred
people on board, most of them were adults,
with perhaps 80 or go children. The sea
was very rough coming home, and with
the exception of perhaps Is or 20, all were
more or less sea sick. Added to this was
the real danger that all felt was at times
imminent, and at one time, when an i'm
meDse wave struck the boat entirely stop
ping her progress and sending her down
in the trOughs of the sea, many for
moment believed their fears were about
to be realized However she came through
safely, and no doubt all were glad to
reach terra fTmd, though nearly midnight
and some of them quite distant from their
homes. Ais well that ends well
The excursion last Wednesday, to Cleve-
land, under the auspices of the members Of
the Congregational church of this place,
on the steamer Gazelle, was the largest as
well as one OF the peasantest given from
this harbOr this season. The party was
composed of no less than $50 persons, most
of whom were residents of Ashtabula. The
boat left the dock within fifteen minutes of
the advertised time, which feat is seldom
accomplished by excursion boats, especially
is this so with excursions from this harbor.
The weather was all that could have been
desired, and at 2:30 o'clock the boat arriv-
ed in Cleyeland, making landing at foot
of ST. Clair street. The boat left CleYe-
land on the return trip about six o'clock
and reached AshtSbula at eleven p. IN.
Sheriff Stiles was one of the passengers on
the return trip, and made himself useful in
quellng little misunderstanding that oc-
CURED between some young men. The
managers of this excursion and the able
assistance rendered them by the ladies of
the church deserve great credit for the sat
isfactory manner in which the entire pro-
gramme of the excursion was carried out.
