THE PASSENGER AGENTS.
TWO HUNDRED OF THEM ON THEIR
WAY TO FLORIDA.

Their Reception and Entertainment in
Savannah-The Trip to Tybee and
the Oyster Roast on the Beach-Of
for Jacksonville.
The travelling passenger agents had a
hard time in getting to Savannah. They
were due here at S:l5 yesterday morning,
but they didn't arrive until As in the
afternoon. The delay was caused by a
break down Of the locomotive pulling the
train, at Rogers, eighty-six miles west OF
Savannah. The excursionists breakfasted
at Millen and would have arrived
here before noon had it not been
for another breakdown at station
No, 5. That caused still further
delay and it was nearly 2 o'clock when the
train rolled into the Central depot.
The late arrival of the excursionists in
measure upset the plans that lad been
made for their entertainment. The pro
gramme was to spend the day on the beach,
with huge oyster roast and dinner at the
Ocean House. 1t was not SO late, however,
but that part of the programme could be
carried out. The Tybee train was in wait
ing and the excursionists were transferred
across the city, and in half an hour were on
O'Clock they were landed at the beach.
A big oyster roast had been prepared and
dinner was served Immediately upon the
arrival Of the train. The weather was fine
and the short afternoon was spent chiefly in
rambling on the sands. The time passed all
too quickly and it was dark almost before
the visitors knew it. The run back to the
city was made in good time, and at I :35 the
excursionists left for Jacksonville, In spite
n oil OiS9nnOiCf-
ment in not being able to see
more of Savannah the visitors expressed
themselves delighted with their reception.
