plieh.
The ride down the bay was delight
full and the charming strains OF music
from Grace Orchestra who were stu
ated aft in the upper deck saloon

away and put life In tho dullest mortal
on board the steamer. The concert
going and coming by Grace Orchestra
was very fine, tho several numbers
being rendered in such churming
way that everybody was delighted TO
think that at last Wilmington had one
good orohes ira OF home talent and
young talent at that.
From the leader. Prof. Lauer. down
to Dtmelo. the man who manipu lates
the big bass fiddle, every fellow saws
wool and gets as much music out OF
the Inherent Instruments, and with q

the listener. The sky was just cloudy
enough to make the ride down the bay
perfectly delightful. and the young
folks enjoyed themselves to their
hearts content. romping around the
boat, while yourg America amused
himself on the top deck skinning the
cat and other gymnastics on the iron
rod that runs across toe boat.
