Party Passes East.

Party Passes East.
Raymond's Philadelphia excursion
party, the third in the list of his vaca-
ton excursions for this year, passed
through this city yesterday on its return
east. The party is made up Of 65 per-
sons under the charge Of John Bolton,
of Somerville, Mass, assisted by Edwin
r. Wallace, of Philadelphia, Alvin J..
Mooney, OF Concord, N. j., having
charge of the baggage. The members
Of the excursion are from Pennsylvania,
New Jersey, Delaware, Ohio, and one
gentleman, Mr.. George Young, from
New York city. The excursion left
Philadelphia on the goth of April and
followed the same route laid down in
notices of the preceding parties.
A representative Of the LEADER en-
joyed a ride down the hill from Granite
to town with the rarity, and at the
same time an excellent chance of com
pairing the delegation from the City of
B~rotherly Love with the preceding
wanderers from the Hub. The Hub
presented more North American Review
intelligence, but the Philadelphia crew
has the most fun. This may be large.
ly accounted for by n large number Of
young people and the utter absence Of
eye glasses; and all through the trip
they have been acknowledged as the
jolly crowd.
Salt Lake affects people differently.
Excursion No. l passed through that
town and came out with a full fedged
woman's rights convention, but the
Philadelphians organized a regular
mormon society thoroughly equipped
with grips, passwords, and other para
phanalia imagined necessary for "a
great moral show" and obtained a deal
of fun therefrom, Mr.. Samuel Glading,
of the Quaker city, assuming the re-
sponsibilities of president, Assistant
Manager E. r. Wallace playing the part
Of elder, and ~Baggageman Mooney,
secretary. They report three converts,
one a lady of So years or younger.
DIR. Chas. ]. Stille, late of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, carries the
burden of the greatest learning in the
party; and Mrs. William Patten during
the journey has ~endeayored to advance

all dutiful husbands should, fully con-
curred-when his better half was
present. Mr.. Chas. E, Elmer and his
nephew DR.. Elmer, both of Bridgeton,
N. j., divided the responsibility of car
rying about their persons the most
effervescing fun and innocent devil
ment Of any In the party. Among the
younger representatives of the fair sex,
Miss Annie Taylor, Of Philadelphia,
was the bright particular star which
excited a deal of star gazing as far as
that astronomical pastime is practical
BILE in a moving Pullman car. Sam
Glading climbed Pixies Peak, so it is
said, and j. Bolton has the biggest fish
story to tell. Mr.. Meehan, of Philadel-
phia, holds the palm as a garner in
other directions, and Mr.. Lewis and
Miss Needles were the most popular;
and the ladie.dah honors of the party
conferred upon f. q. Stokes, of Moores-
town, N. j., who found a formidable
rival in Conductor Wrighter. Romance
was not unrepresented in the party, as
the reporter was aware of as his eye
fell upon a lovely tableaux in which the
principal figures were Mr.. Meehan and
Miss Shaw, who "met by chance, the
usual way"
The excursionlsts remembered the
gentlemen having the affair in charge
by presenting each of the three with a
set of jewelry Of native quartz well
mounted. consisting of cuff buttons,
scarf pin and shirt studs, besides an
elegantly engrossed testimonial signed
by all of the party.
Another division of the summer ex-
cursions will pass east next Tuesday.
