made their annual excursion on Monday last
this wear tc Newbury Neck-on the schoon-
er clio Chlcott." towed BY the tug boat
Little Round Top" The day was magnifi-
cent, the scenery grand, the party happy and
all went "merry as a marriage bell In
ing short chop, and an unsteady motion,
which created some nausea, giving rise to
pale faces which received no sympathy, hut
rather created merriment. The wind. too,
PLAYED the mischief with hats. II was no
respecter of persons, and would blow off our
ministers hat with as little ado as it would
mine. We were equal. however, to the &C.
casion. thanks to the bright thought of
somebody. We deliberately and pItllessly
unrayeled Brooks, the sail-maker and made
lany ards, one end of which each tied 10 his
hat and the other to a bu,ion-hole. This
took care of the case and on sundry times
and occasions was all that saved the dignity
of several Of the party, including the min
lister. Besides the SUNDAY School scholars
| and teachers, there were a number of ciu-
zens making the company up to ahoui ioU
persons IN the aggregate. Inc party land

The FoURTH.-"The day We celebrate
passed off more quietly than usual in this
city. The showers in the early morning had
depressing effect on the boys and the
amount of horn blowing, bell ringing and
fire cracker and torpedo explosions was con-
siderahly less than usual. The chief attrac-
ton of the d.y vas the horse races at Don
aqua Park, but during the morning hours
some doubt was felt by those interested as 10
whether the track would be in condition.
As the day wore on, however it was decid-
ed TO carry out the programme and the Wis
dom of this decision was attested, when the
hour arrived. BY the large crowd that had
gathered to witness the races. Every body
was good natured and there was an entire
absence Of everything approaching TO row
dyism or intoxication.
The following gentlemen were chosen as
Judges ID. IL. Eppes, Jos. I. Smith and ii.
b. Jordan, with A. W. Greedy for time
keeper.

fore sterling.

called up. They got away together making
fine start and promising close contest,
but at the first turn the outer wheel of the
sulky attached to Hiram gave way and Mr..
