miles from this city. aud within few hun
dred yards Of Whitewater station on the
Richmond, fredericksburg and Potomac
railroad. Early in July an excursion was
gwen to that point by the Methodist Sun
day school, Colonel Waller having kindly
rendered the use Of his ponds and
beach for the occasion. The excursion was
quite largely patronized, and our people
were utterly surprised TO fnd such a de-
lightful retreat within easy access Tor spend
Ing the day Since then number OF exour-
sions have been given TO Whitewater and
they were all most pleasant and agreeable
affairs. The most successful OF these was
perhaps tue one given on last Wednesday
by Trinity Episcopal Sunday school The
party numbered about 400 representing all
denominations, and was quite society event.
The eTcur Nonists did not leave freder-
lcksburg Until 10 O'Clock, aud arriving at
their destination a half hour later, they took
possession of the inviting grove and divided
themselves into Congeniai groups Ol the
shady banks of the Potomac. Tents were
pitched bammocks hung and every prepa-
ration made for day Of UNINTERRUPTED enjoy
ment IN the country.
AS is suggested by the name of the sta
ton, the Potomac at this point Is very
wide-fve miles-and the beach is the
finest on the river The bathing facilities
are very good and in the absence of the
sion. Certainly the bathers could not have
enjoyed themselves more Ia the ocean itself.
There were over q hundred bathers, lnclud-
ing a number Of society bellies.
A delightful breeze prevailed most Of The
day and in the afternoon the bosom OF the
river was dotted with sailing parties. 1T
was still twilight when the train reached
fredericksburg on Its return, not the
slightest accident having occurred during
the day.
