THE TRIP DOWN THE RIVER
When the steamer Charles Manchester left her
wharf yesterday afternoon she had on board a
precious cargo of nearly 800 people, comprising
the delegates to the American Institute Of
Homeopathy, their wives, sweethearts and
friends. The local doctors had perfected the
arrangements SO well that there was absolutely
nothing to prevent an evening Of pleasure.
When Mount Vernon was reached a stop Of an
hour was made, giving TIE visitors ample time
to inspect all the remIr scent treasures of the
place. But the event of the evening was the dinner
and fete champetre at Marshall Hall. Under
the stately trees that formed cool archways Of
foliage tables had been set, the big dining room
being unable to accommodate all the guests
Col. McKibben had prepared menu that was
especially delectable to the northern doctors
The steamer reached Washington about 80
O'Clock with party of people who were happy
IN the conviction OF an evening well spent
The local committee deserve great credit for
the manner in which they arranged things.
The local committee Of ladies has been in
defatigable in their efforts to entertain the
visiting ladies accompanying delegates to the
institute. reception committee is constantly
present at the different hotels during the morn
ing and afternoon to look after the comfort and
entertainment Of guests of the institute.
