Tariff Association who are in town for their
annual convention were rendered an excursion
to Mount Vernon and shad bake at Marshall
Hall yesterday afternoon by the Associa-

trict of Columbia 1t was an immense success
and about $50 gentlemen enjoyed the occasion.
The steamer Corcoran was engaged for the trip
and Mr.. S. c. Ramage of the steamboat COM
pany was on hand in person to look after the
pleasure Of the party. The Macalister would
have been nsed for the trip had it not been that
she was over in Baltimore undergoing few
trifiing repairs. Three o'clock was the hour
for starting, but it was half an hour later when
the steamer started down the river filed up
with good-natured, happy insurance men. The
arrangements for the occasion were made by
President r.. W. Tyler and Secretary F. W.
Pratt, with the committee on entertainment,
consisting Of Messrs. N. d. Larner, Simon
Wolf, B. Lewis Blackboard. J. s. Swormstedt
and Lem Towers. jr. Mount Vernon was the
first stop and there the visitors renewed their
patriotism by visit to the tomb and . short
stay in the house.
THE sHAD BAKE
Marshall Hall was reached q little later and
the long tables we're reached soon after that
1t was little chilly for an open-air banquet,
but nobody minded that and the way those
luscious planked shad made their disappear
ance was o caution to fish.
On the return trip the cold wind drove all
the party into the ladies' cabin and there the
evening was pleasantly spent with music and
speeches. Mr.. Simon Wolf led off with a
graceful speech of welcome, which was re-
sponded to by several members of the visiting
delegation Among those who took part in
these informal exercises were Messrs. Droop,
Cross, Minis, Knowles, Castlemsn, Nelson
and Young.
Ali the local speakers invited the association
to come back next year and all the visitors said

ton the permanent meeting place. The city
was reached on the return trip about o'clock.
