after the comfort OF his guests in way
that they will long remember.
The trip by ocean from Lewe6 to New
York WAS even more enjoyable than what
had preceded it. Fhe party boarded the
Old Dominion Steamship Compapy's ele-
CANT steamer Manhattan, at 3 O'clock on
Thursday afternoon and were ST once
tskou in charge by Col Mspas, who gave
them tho freedom Of the beat In the
largest sense OF The word. The
snpper that was served up on the
ManhattRu was something 10 brgg ahont.
The excurBionists have since given the
cuisius of the Fifth AT"n1e Hotel u fair
trial And ara therefore qusl!dod gtas-
Economical suJborites, hut the Fifth
Avenue table must yield The precedence
10 ti at on the steamer Manhattan. Old
Neptune was in au amiable humor and
moi cne Of the party had 2uy reason to
com, lain OF ses5ickness.
A few mileH above Cape May sn ap-
preaching schooner with her flag hoisted
Union downward, signsl Of distress,
caused the steamer TO lay TO. The
schooner proved to ba the Lson asseg,
from Kenpelec, Ne, for philsdslphia,
having on board the shipwrecked crew Of
the schooner FIAuois. of Mon
treal The Francis was bound from
Maya}u+z, via Nassau, with
cargo cf nosssee. She sprung leak
and sunk about five miles east Of Five
F.thom light ship. The crew were taken
oil by the Leousssea, the captain of
which wished to transfer them to the
Manhattan, 10 be taken to New York.
The captaia oi the latter q; first replied,
''Send lhem aboard" hut after
. moments reflection oountermanded
this order. 81 ain afraid they would put
us in quarantine if took men aboard
from the West Indies" he said. lyon
eau put them ashore at the BraakwRter
aud send tleul On 10y the cars" The
vessels then aeParaiel and the Leonasses
proceeded on her way, landing the
castaasy st bawes that evening.
Twilight was Just deepening into dark
ness whea the steamer passed Atlantic
City, and the 'lisit3 along the shore''
tsinkled beautifully, lingering in sight
for an hour or two. ....
They were just disappearing when the
eXuursionists resolved lstheIuaelves into an
formal meeting, with Speaker Cooper in
The chair, ana Oh the stsamar's deck the
following resolution Of thanks was read
by tl.e light Of the fdll moon, and adopted
with enthusiasm:

At i.30 O'Clock yesterday morning the
Manhattan reached her pier on the Nor.h
river. Half m hour or 50 Nttr ihe eN-
| cursonis,a boarded the csrH Of tns sixth
avenue elevated railroad and rode ont to
LOOK at the high bridge 1T Harlem. The
sight of so many representative Dsla-
wsresus ilocking INFO the cara in body
at so early All hour in the morning, ex-
cited the curiosity Of tue other passen-
gers to d considerable extent.
"What' apr asked one OF the latter.
'lleads, replied Sergeant 5hooslsy,
| sententiously.
Then the anxious New Yorkers FELL
back upon conjecture. Somebody gug-
gested that this Delawareans were non
union telegraph operators who had been
sent for to supply the places of tho
strikers. Others thought them 9 delega-
tiou of Graugars or members of the state
Temperance Alliance out on a iaunt.
Returning from Harlem the excur.
sionists proceeded TO the Fifth Avenue
Hotel and brsakiastsi. Tho rest OF the
morning was spent by some in visit to
Central Park, while others visited Wall
street aud looked in ip the hurly hurly
OF the Stock Exchange, The mammoth
new building of the Produce Exchange,
for the erection Of which aud the purchase
OF the site, Con Broadway opposite
Bowling Green), $4,000 900 was ap.
proprisled, was also an object Of interest.
The unfinished tower OF this building
looms up above the city, as Viewed from
the bay as landmark as prominent g.
the Trinity Church steeple.
At neon the Brooklyn bridge was
visited aud crossed and the exoursi ionisto
boarded Brighton Beach train aud went
to Coney Island, Most of them remained
there until late in the evening and, on
their return, SAID they had enjoyed their
trip. The livery EVENING oorrespondeu
and few others sOOn tired of Cuney,
which Is poor place IN the daytime, and
returned TO the city.
AS mentioned above tho telegraphers
strike prevented the sending of any mes
sages home. The Office at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel was one of ,be three .,
four, ont of over a hundred branch Uilic,.
remaining open aud all messages filed
there " ore received subject to indefnii+
delay. The operator declined to fix any
time whatever for sending them, deolin
lug to promise anything Whatever. Ii,
would not say whether they would go il
one hour, two hours, three hours or dur
ing tho day. I'VE take them subject /,
delay, " WAS all lie would say.
