Excursions Down the River.

Four excursions went down the river
yesterday and hundreds of people took ad-
vantage of the opportunity to get away from
the oppressive heat of the city and to enjoy a
breath of fresh air on the river.
The German BImunerchor society gave
large excursion in the forenoon and a large
number of German merchants and their
families enjoyed sail to Marshall hall on the
Thompson and ramble in the woods. Many
of them carried rods and lines and spent
their time angling for white perch. The
ferry steamers were also crowded all day
with eXcursionists.

mcu. The lady was evidently amusing her escorts
by some merry ncct and the sweet expression of
her face evidently as attractive to them as to
the casual observer. The trio proved TO be Miss
Clara Norris her husband, Mr.. Harriott, and her
Manager Frank Goodwin. Miss Morris and her
husband entered their carriage and were driven
away to the tram for their country scat, kiveIdalc
Mr.. Goodwin said later relative to Miss MOrris's
approaching season, that her health is now better
than has been for years the time she spends among
her flowers and farm pets giving her new strength
and energy. Last year Miss Morris played six times
every other week, but now, while she will take the
usual interval of rest, she proposes 10 appear at
least seven times each week. Her 10 !ulaI season
will open Ola October 10. AT Boston, but size will
appear at the Third Avenue Theatre on September
