The Odd-Felioyys, Excursion.

The Grand United Order of Odd Fellows
of the district participated in an excursion to
Richmond, Va, on Friday in order to repay
the fraternal visit made them by the Rich
mond lodge one year ago. Seven we'll
laden cars left the Baltimore and Potomac
depot at IL m, the 18th instant, and arriving
in Richmond early next morning were re-
ceived b y the sister lodges of that place, who
conducted them to their hall, where boun-
tiful repast had been prepared for 1000
visitors. After ample justice had been
done the refreshments the excursionists pro-
pared themselves for sightseeing, aud few
places of interest were neglected. Grand
master, Brother Forester, of Richmond, is
kindly remembered for the courteous manner
in which he received his visiting brethren
and their ladies, and for his labor in striving
to make their visit memorable for its many
pleasures. After spending the day in sight
seeing and feasting, the.excursionists loft for
home, arriving at q late hour the same night,
all well pleased with their trip and loud in
their praise OF their Richmond brethren.
Brother Samuel Wills had charge of the
affair, and conducted IL in an able manner.

"A worry hot day, and don't you forget IT,"
How to keep cool seemed to bo the study
of mankind. Ono gentleman in seersucker

cool, but he was warm.
Numbers of uncovered heads wore observed
moving along upon the side of the street
where there was q little shade.

rapidly as it came and would not be bottled.
"Wh-e-ww exclaimed the fat man. Flows

Juleps and cobblers were in demand, but the
most cooling beverage was voted to bo plain
iced lemonade minus a stick.
In the drug store a long line of patrons
were found quafling their favorito sirup, and
some preferred theirs in the shape of a tonic.
A number Of Derby hats were put away
yesterday, and what are called "cool straws"
were substituted for them.
ITO the river~ was the desperate cry OF
many trying to keep cool. In consequence
the excursion boats plying upon tho placid
and classic bosom of the Potomac were
thronged upon their trips. Although hot the
weather is still heating to a hotter tompera-
ture, and the excursion business is flourish

Drug store Thermometers ranged yesterday
from 81 to 96 degrees in the shade. Several
persons were overcome by the heat. and one

"This is the dullest week yet" said we'll.

real estate transactions He said that there
hSd not been twenty building permits issued
and largo portion of these had been for re-
pairs. Contractors, builders and real estate
agents are not paying their hood, and the

prospect will come to an ignominous end. 1t

"Well, drive out in the county and see.
There are some excellent houses in the sub
urbs, and a large number of them have been
erected this season. Probably 100000 has
been invested in this way"
Inquiring of the dealers and at the build
ing inspectors Office confirmed the contrac-
tors assertion, and it was generally con-
ceded that the past has been a dull week.
The transactions were largely in two story
houses ranging in cost from 300 to $4,000.
