ATLANTIC HOTEL,
MoREHEAD CTTY, June %.
Saturday was rest and recreation day
with the members of the State Teachers
Assembly. and delightful day it was.
There was never more glorious weather,
the sea was never more inviting and ca
ressing, and there has never been time
within the memory Of the Oldest man
here when the fish bit at bait and squibs
more vigorously and we're hooked more
securely.
AL these conditions tempted many
merry parties out of the hotels, and
there were excursions during the day
some to Cape Lookout light-house-some
to the fisheries to Fort Macon and
other points and some to nowhere in
particular, but everywhere in general.
Everybody fishes and from reports
brought in, it seems that everybody
caught something.
A Very Pleasant Excursion.
The most delightful and hsppiest ex-
cursion Of the day was Que given to a
party Of friends by Miss Lille Bell, Of
Morehead City, and a member of Peace
Institute in Raleigh. The excursion
was made in the handsome sharpie "Lil-
lie Bell" which is the recognized clipper
of the harbor. and included run to the
lighthouse, to the life.saving station and
to Fort Macon. Friends from Salisbury,
Raleigh, Morehead and other points con-
stitutel the party. The trip was de-
lightfully timed and planned, and abso-
lutely nothing was left unprovided to
make il complete. The beautiful boat
was under sail for most Of the day. A
little after noontime great hamper
basket suddenly appeared from some
where, and while the graceful little clip
per skinned over the waters before o
spanking and refreshing breeze, a repast
was taken from that basket and spread
out that would have tempted ye gods to
cat, though they might have just come
from one OF their famous feasts.
Sherbet Of various favors was made in
tthe boat while, che was under way, and
lit was of more, delicious flavor than the
ssirens, Naiads or Oceanides ever
sdreamed Of. This particular feature
twas discussed with marvellous energy
:and attention for about an hour, and

themselves by throwing out trolling lines:

seconds he was drawn over the side

this summer.
ImprOmptu Concert.
OF the pleasant features of the 9

much culture and talent, that an ent'
