THREE STEAMERS, FIVE BARGES.

Though the rain iutorfered slightly
charge Of the grand complimentary ex-
cursion of the Mclaughlin Association
yesterday TO Oakdaie Grove on the
Hudson. tho affair nevertheless was a
splendid success. About eight thousand
people awaited themselves. of this geuer-
Gus Invitation of the popular association
for sail on the Hudson and a picnic at
the Grove. The steamer BlacKhird
and a barge left the Morris street
dock at niue O'Clock in the
morning. AT the Payonia Ferry an-
other steamer and two barges were
brought into reQnisition for the accom-
mediation of the crowds at that point.
and by the time OF lsavl Dg the foot OF
Sixth street, Hoboken, the fleet consisted
of three steamers aud five Darges. This
flag bedecked tiotilla made an imposing
appearance rs IL moved up the Hudson,
and made New York excurslonists and
other passengers on Hudson River boats
Dpsa their teyes in wonder. The crowds
that focked along Morris street, Pavonia
avenue and Sixth street, Ho6oken. in the
morning, on their way to the various
points or departure embraced all classes.
Conspicuous in The throug were mothers
with babes in their arms, aud others with
babes in carriages.
Bands played upon the barges, and
young aud old danced TO the merry
strains. On the lower decks of three Of
the barges a number of exp erts st reel
and jig dancers Kept the three bagpiDers
busy on both the up and down trips.
But the busiest man in the entire party
was President John P. Feeney. of the
association giving the excursion, He
seemed TO be everywhere as the same
i'm in MIC affRrfa RI Ga0 fhnf all tvnra
having ii good time.
EMINENT POLITICIANS ON BOARD.
Most OF the politicians were grouped
aboard the steamer Ridgway Park. The
HoLoken contingent was largely repre-
scented. Max Staples and q party of
friends aboard a tug overflow the party
and dashed his tug To the ~flotilla.
One of the Incidents OF the trip was ths
clam chowderln1 of several hundred bows
by Standard Bearer Mclaughlin aud
Police Superintendent Smith. A num-
Der of boys with hungry looking faces
were obs erved watching others more for
tunate getting en- the outside dishes of
the appetizing stew. Dsnuy's Dig heart
WAS moved, rs we'll as that OF stern Police
Superin tendent Smith. As if conveyed
by electricity. the news was passed to
other boys aboard other b3rges, aud
before the treat was ended these two
gentlemen found themselves INDEBTED TO
the howde man for several hundred
cnowders.
IL was somewhat OF q disappointment
tina t the RAIN inferfeIe ed with the landing
OF the party 1t tn grove. AS she grove
was reached, the ram began to descend
IN torrents. But II required something
more than a rain storm to quench the
enthusiasm of the happy crowds aboard
the steamers and bargss. Almost every
tody renamed aboard, where there was
SO much fun that comparatively few re-
gretS at not being able TO enjoy the
sylvan Injuries of the park we've heard
expressed.
