Notes of a Pleasure Trip on the Steamer
 w. H. Lockwood.
 MT. Henry O. Rowe, the extensive and popular oyster merchant of Fair Haven, took out party of his East Haven friends for sail on his steam yacht, the William H. Lock wood on Saturday afternoon last. Among others he had on board Attorneys s. w. F. Andrews and Dwight W. Futile and their wives, e1sRepresentative Grove J. Futile, Mir. Street of East Haven Center, MT. Henry Gaylord of Fair Haven East, and a number of the other prominent young men of East Haven. The party was also enlivened by a generous sprinkling of bright and pretty young ladies, whose presence on board was evidently properly appreciated, as, during the sail, the gay and gallant young men of the party seemed to love to finger about them. The ''run'' down the harbor was highly enjoyed, and, on arriving at Savin Rock, the boat touched for a short time at Kelsey's pier to enable those who desired to witness some of the exploits of Capt Boyton in his rubber swimming costume. On en- barking again from the pier the party was somewhat enlarged by the addition of 0 num- Der of Capt. Rowe's Savin Rock friends who 1 met the boat at that place by appointment ] Among these were Lawyer Robt G. Osborn of this city, Dr. Reynolds Fitzgerald and I Mr. George Fitzgerald, sons of the famous ! South American gold mine ipprietor of that name Mr. William Atwater os St. Louis, the son of Hon. Cha5 Atwater of this city, l Miss Helen Flack, the daughter of Rev. Dr. 1 Flack, the president of Claverack College on 1 the Hudson, Mir. Frederick A. Osborn, MT. 1 Seldon Yale Osborn and Capt. Carlton Graves | of this city. The extensive oyster grounds of Capt Rowe near the new light were soon reached under the slillful pilotage of one of | the young ladies of the party, who oficiated with great success at the wheel, and the ! steam dredge having been lowered, 8 large ! quantity of oysters were taken on board, ! which were immediately opened and eaten with great relish by the hungry excursionists. | The working of this steam dredge was mi nutely described by Henry Howe, Esq, in one l of the numbers of the JOURNAL AND COURIER
 last summer, which description many of our readers will doubtless remember. Since | then Capt. Rowe has substituted large iron
 cable for the stout rope which connected the l dredge with the boat, and which uncoiled as l the dredge was lowered into the water. Capt. Rowe is much pleased with the l change, and considers this new arrange ment a decided improvement upon the old.
 As the dredge falls from the boat the iron 1 chain, passing over an iron roller into the | water, makes a loud and unusual noise. Some of the party who were sitting on the hurricane deck, unaware of the cause of this
 noise, became somewhat frightened, it ls ! said, and fearful of the worst, were seen tc rush excitedly about for a few moments One of the young men was presently discov
 cred near the stern safely seated in life
 boat, and several of the professional mer
 were noticed to disappear hurriedly in the
 direction of the life preservers.
 As it began to grow dusk the Savin Rock
 party were landed at Kelsey's pier, after l having had most delightful sail, and, as
 they stood on the wharf watching the boat
 steam away like the recent experience ot
 General Garfield at Chautauqua Lake, they ! were greeted by those remaining on the boat
 with Chautauqua salute, which was re
