VEST on UAoH EXCURSION.
a Delightful Trip TO Cape May on
xhe Steamer Repubitc.


One OF tho most pleasant excursions that
has left this city, so far this sessop, was
that OF West Sunday-school thursday to
Cape May on the steamer Republic. There
were about 400 persons on board the train
which LETT the French street station at .
O'Clock. The boat made close connection
at the wharf and proceeded down tho lay
with wind and tide In her favor. About
1000 people were OF board, including ex.
cursionists from Philadelphia Lutheran
church who sang hymns In German.
The fRvoring wind made calm on the
aft decks. The breeze was forward, but 1t
was pleasant In any part OF the boat. The
sky was perfectly clear and the wide reach
OF blue water unbroken by white cap. A
few rollers were encountered near the point
but the motion was rot snlllcient to make
anyone sick.
On tha arrival at the point at Ito O'Clock
about $40 persons took the train for Cape
May City. Others remained on the boat or
explored the beach at the point and took a
view of the Harrison ttage with the hope
OF seeing Baby Mckee. Those who went
to the city spent the hour and quarter
they had to spare Il drive up the beach
or an exhilAratlng bath In the surf.
The return trip was begun at $50 O'Clock.
The breeze was fresh and strong, and the
trip wasIdelightful. Final acquisitions were
made on lunch baskets, depicted by a raid
on the down trip, and the remnants were
tossed overheard. The tug Taurus was
overhauled and passed below Nav CASTLE.
She had the Taurus Fishing Club on board
from this city, who cheered the steamer
and held up strings OF Ash that would make
members OF the G. W. Fishing Club green
with envy.
Wilmington excursloniBts did not see the
sun set, but they saw beautiful gold and
silver edged cloud Just above the western
horizon, from behind which the sun sent
yellow and dark tinted radiating rays OF
| light and shadow down to land and up TO
| the zenith.
The wharf was reached at 7.21 O'Clock
and the train landed the excursionists at
the station at 7,40.
