Arrival OF Large and Distinguished
Company at the Capital.

Arrival OF n Large ana Distinguished
Company at the Capital.
Another of those delightful New England
excursion parties reached Washington yester-
day. Its members are located at the different
hotels, and had an opportunity of witnessing
on the banks Of the Potomac the favorite
winter sport of the dwellers by the Connec-
| ticut, the Merrimac, and the Kennebec. These
excursion parties from New England to WASH
ingtOn-these pilgrimages from the American
Orient to the bOIderland of the soutb-haye
become an institution of Importance and dig
nifty, and are decidedly pleasant episodes in
the busy New England life. They have grown
into custom which, commencing some seven
or eight years ago, has grown each year untili5
is now permanency. These excursions whpe
bringing together pleasant party of people
and tnsuring them good time together, does
good by introducing them under favorable
conditions to other parts of the country. The
climate OF Washington, so much milder in tho
winter than that Of New England, must exert
u favorable impression for this city on tho
minds Of the VISITORS while as regards civic
| beauty each visitor will take to his home
ideas unequalled in the states east of tho
| Hudson. rather noticeablefact about these
excursions is that the large ones generally
take place in the winter time, while small
parties numbering one, two, or three dozen,
| come in the spring aud autumn.
| The present party will drive around tho
city ana visit the public buildings. Tho
! party have already visited the famous Luray
caves, and will remain in the city until tho
eighteenth. On Sunday they will visit vari-
Gus churches. Trips TO Mount Vernon and to
Alexandria will take up some of the excur-
| sionists time, the former being given next
Monday. Wednesday evening members of
the excursion party will give musical en-
tertanment at Willard hall. The party havc
determined to have good time and see as
much of the federal capital as can be eX-
amined in few days.
Messrs. Luther w. Holden and j. A. Whit
comb have personal charge of the party and
| from their experience and tact are eminently
qualified to guide such party in its pleasant
| pilgrimage.
