The second excursion of the Apollo Club to
Marshall Hall came OF yesterday evening, and
the decks Of the Corcoran were crowded with
the many fair friends of the club. The trip
down tho river was enlivened by q choice
selection Of choruses, which were most artis-
tically rendered. A most striking incident oc-
CURED as the steamer arrived abreast OIL Mount
Vernon. Tho entire club assembled on tho
forward deck, and, at signal, the speed OF tho
engine was slowed down while that rare gem,
eRest," was most exquisitely rendered by the
two score OF perfectly trained voices, while
the tolling bell formed most fitting accompa-
niment to this spontaneous tribute to the ven
Grated dead. Arrived at Marshall Hall the
whole attention Of the guests were strained to
make time ny lightly, and music, dancing,
steamers whistle called them on board and
midnight.
Among those present were the Misses Maude
Reynolds, Geneva Wise, Belle Twombley, Lulu

Mr.. Noah II. Martin, 013 Sixteenth street
northwest, Washington, d. O., clerk in one OF
the Departments, has addressed circular 10
tho secretary OF the st. Louis Tarir Assocl-
alton. Iresuming upon the Ignorance OF tho
Western people, he opens his circular thus;
'The President OF the United States, In &C.
cordanco with special act OF Congress, APP
proved May Is, 1882, has appointed a tariff
commission TO consist OF nine members" After
recounting tho duties OF the commission, he
suggests that vt seems proper that large COM
mercial cities and communities should be rep
resented by an attorney to state to tho com,
mission tho facts relating 10 business and
commercial interests His object in sending
out tho circular ls defined In the following
lines" ITO circulate subscription papersto
enable the citizens OF st. Louis TO raise Il feo
for me so that may BIO employed as their ut.
torney before the commission" and asks that
ga sufficient number OF copies DO printed and
circulated so that tho list OF subscriptions
may be completed in four or Ave days. Tho
amount OF tho feo, II raised In this way, and
which hope Will reach $4,000, Will BIO
great benent TO mo, and the efforts Will en-
deayor TO mako before the commission In be-
half OF tho people OF 81. Louis will, hope, DO
OF great benent TO them."
Tho GLOBE Democrat In noticing tho circular
says;
"None of the members OF the Tarln Associ.
alton are acquainted with tho subscriber who
greatly mistakes tho business ability OF tho
local manufacturers when ho makes such de-
liciouBly cool proposition without even tho
favor OF an Introduction"
