ic views of many noted places between St.

lunch was served in the main aloon
which had been prepared for the occasion
by the Merchants hotel. Ex-
ira walters had been provided by the
boat officials and the hunger and thirst of
the party was more than satisfied. When
the steamer came to the point where the
government feet was anchored tof which
the Barnard comprises part,) about four
miles aboyel Hastings, a halt was made
to pick up Capt. Hayes, of the U. S. steam
er Ada 3. who, being more familiar With
the St. CroiX river than Major Upton, the
Barnard's pilot, took the wheel after en-
tering that stream. This was
the only stop made on the
trip. While passing through the draw
bridge at Hastings, the band played "The
Prince OF the Regiment" which attracted a
large crowd to the banks of the stream,

chiefs as the steamer passed. After enter
ing the st. CroiX river, the band were sum
moned from the hurricane deck and as
sembled in the main saloon. Here waltz
ing was INDUCED IN for half an hour, and
then the lancers was substituted.
When the steamer arrived opposite Hud-
son the dancing was discontinued and the
engineers went outside to view the bridge
at this point. Considerable amusement
was Occasioned here by man who, in en-
deavoring to show his experiences in riding
a log, fell into the water. and when pulled
out by his companions those on the boat
waved their hats and cheered him.
The steamer arrived at Saltwater at 40
p. m. having been just four hours and
fifty minutes in making the trip. At the

The programme was to have made an
excursion up the lake to the boom, but it
being later than they had expected to ar
rive at Saltwater, this was abandoned, and
the visitors proceeded direct to the opera
oil
band played "One Day in Boston. y
Grand Potponrri, by Clause, which was
loudly applauded.
Judge McCleur then appeared on the
stage and welcomed the visitors in a brief
| speech, in which he babe them a cordial
and hearty welcome and congratulated the

to the grand structure, the Brookly
bridge, and said that though the name o.

upon wood and stone and pointing to tn

the good things set before them.
