TO Marshall HnII.-who were There.
The second excursion for the season Of that
popular organization, the Apollo Club came Off
yesterday evening, and the decks of the Corcornn
were crowded with the many fair friends Of the
Club who, remembering the delightful expert
ences of the former excursions, had rallied in
strong force to again spend IN evening OF perfect
enjoyment as the guests of the Appollos. The trip
down the river was enlvened by choice selection
Of ehoruses, which, under the magic baton of
DOC Kimball, were most aristically rendered.

arrived
ABREAST OF MOUNT VERNON
The entire club assembled on the forward deck,
ana at signal the speed of the engine was slowed
down, while, that gem, Rest" was most ex::
quisitely rendered by two score perfectly trained
voices. As the solemn strains of the music rolled
over the broad surface of the river the sun sank
behind a bank of purple clouds that hung like
pail in the west, and the tolling bell formed a
most fitting accompaniment to this spontaneous
tribute to the venerated dead Arrived at Mar

and music,
DANCING, LAUGHTER, AND FLIRTING

thus. A big patch of inky clouds charged up
from the horizon, and shortly after o'clock what
came rattling down. The pckets, who had been
"spooning" under the shadow Of the apple trees,
were driven in, and the

in trice, and imls.diately all hands were gath
cred in the pavilion. Nothing daunted, the
crowd danced steadily until the sharp blast of the
whistle called them back to the steamer and 10
the city, which was reached by midnight. Among
the solos, Jimmie Smiths serenade was most at
tractiye episode, and was most rapturously en-
cOred.
