The excursion of Ever Faithful Council,
No 232, A. L. of H., which took place last
Wednesday, was pronounced one of the
finest and most successful excursions which
has ever left this city. Being the initial
excursion of the Council, great anxiety was
felt in regard to its ultimate success, but
success it was and grand one too. After
considerable delay the steamer Sylvan
Stream and the barge Geraldine lett the
York street wharf shortly after 10 o'clock.
The two proceeded to Payonia ferry, where
the barge Spear was waiting loaded with an
impatient but happy company. The feet
then proceeded to Fifth street, Hoboken,
where the last stop was made till River
View Grove, opposite lonkers, was reached
which was the excursionists objective point.
The steamer was placed between the barges
so that the excursionists could readily
pass from one to the other. Although
there were about a thousand persons
aboard, the utmost harmony prevailed.
The absence of the rougher class of excur-
sionists was remarked as speaking we'll
for the Council The number OF local
| politicians present was legion. Dancing
was literally INDUCED in on the boat by
most of the young people and not few
of the older ones The party arrived at its
destination about o'clock, and remained
until half past four, when the prows were
| turned homeward much to the regret of
many who were sorry that the happy day
was nearly over. The sail down the river
was delightful. iEx-Sergeant Jerry 0'Con-
nell was chief of the special police, but
| all that he and his subordinates had to do
was to enjoy themselves which they sue
ceeded in doing admirably The success
