The soft sun of yesterday beamed upon the
face of the earth with Frightening smile and
the hearts of pleasure seekers were once more
gladened by the happy look and life that
covered all nature.
The waters, though warmed by the summer
sun, were ruffled by refreshing breeze and
the rolling waves and occasional white caps
made everything appear in q picture of real
and picturesque beauty.
SAIL TO NIANTIc.
But few excursion trips were made from
here by steamer yesterday, but those that
were made were among the gayest of the sea-
SOD. The little steamer Margaret was early
filled with an extremely happy party, almost
all of ladies. They were going to see the sol
diers at Camp Terry, and even before the
steamer steamed off their eyes and fancies
were full of bright visions of handsome sol-
der boys, dancing banners and eagles, the
blare and clash of trumpets and the deep,
steady, increasing roll of drums. The sail
along the Sound was delightful and the sun
kissed the cheeks of the fair ones just enough
to make them beautifully tinted with bushes
by the time they get to camp. Governors
day was seen in all its glory and the girls who
filed every bit of the ground that the sol-
diers didn't occupy will have something to
think and dream over for weeks. The Mar
garet came home with her fair load in the
early evening, and the fine moonlight sail
was one of the happy features of the day.

lists yesterday and the place seems to lose
