This Weeks Saratoga Trip-The
Sound Excursion Steamers Will He |
Busy.
Yesterday the third of the excursions of |
the Hygeia Recreation company to Sarato-
ga Springs left the Derby depot. About
seventy-6ve people made up the New Ha-
ven party. They were Joined, however,
by large parties from Bridgeport, Ansonia
and other places along the route, which will
bring the number up to nearly 200. More
New Haven people were on this excursion
than the previous ones this year, but they
have not been patronized as they were last
year. This seems remarkable, considered
the excellent opportunity that is offered
for most pleasant four days outing. The
scenery along the Housatonic river is un-
rivalled for it's beauty and the opportunity
for recreation and amusement at Saratoga
| is without parallel

| are: w. B. Low, Florence Low, Daisy
Clinton, Mr.. and Mrs. w. O. Ray, Mrs. N.
Frasiers, James Rorke. w. s. Bishop, Otto
Reichert, Mrs Foote, Miss Morgan, Mrs.

Merwin, Helen J. Merwin, Mrs. L. Cowles,
Alice NJ. Cowles, Mrs. Julian N. Gage, E.
L. Warner, D. N. Williams, Miss May
Vance.
