Il was the annual excursion of the en-

It was after 2 o'clock when the Pomona's
whistle blew and the party started of. On
one of the barges Prof. McAuliffe's excellent
band played popular airs, and on the other
Prof. Lowell looked out for the guests.
Dancing was in full way as the hotilla, with
Haos flying, rounded the Battery,
A stop was made at the foot OF East Thirty
first street, where several h~undreds,were await

be we're taken on board, but when the lines
were cut loose a number were left standing
on the pier.

baskets opened them and ate, while others
gathered to witness the games.
The starter was George I. Cooke, and Per-
rim z. Reid ac,ed as Judge.

run. which was won by John Powers. A
standing broad jump was won by James
Ryan. The standing high kick was won by
G. H, Flowers. A hundred-yard dash was
won by Powers, winner of the half-mile run.
The event of the day was the baseball
match between r.. H. Mays nine and H.
O'Neill's nine, The boys fought desperately
for victory. After five innings had been
played, the game was stopped owing to the
darkness. It stood then 4 to 8 in favor of the
Macy nine.
Scarcely had the game been stopped when

pleasure of the 8, 600 excursionists who were
on board.
