are Just as hospitable as their predecessors
and the guests to enjoy the trip this year
were:

There were % in the party, both Demo-

sented.
At 0:30 o'clock the steamer Pioneer,
with its goodly company, left the Provi-
dence dock and proceeded direct to Nayatt
Point where the work of scientific investi-
cation and the joys Of gastronomy com
menced. An oysterman yelled "ship
ahoy" and steered his heavily laden
craft along side the commiss ioners' boat
and there was q transfer of three bushels
OF oysters, fresh from their bed. The
official opener began the cere-
mony and when Chairman Col
the first white and slate colored
delicacy into his mouth his two colleagues
and the half hundred guests got into the
game, and before Warwick Neck was
reached there was nothing left OF the
oysters but the part that is good
for paving sidewalks. In Greenwich
bay there was change of diet
when the scaIlop men sailed up and left
their samples on the deck of the Pioneer.
There was, as matter Of course, q lot of
other provisions aboard in the way Of
crackers, cheese, fruit, seltzer
and lemonade and no one was
hungry. After the investigation
completed, and 1t didn't make much diff
ference where they went or when they
got there, General "Charley" Brayton was
allowed to take the wheel and
by alternating "tricks' with
Speaker Allen he got the boat
around the several points and shoals to
Newport where the Inhabitants thereof
said good day and went ashore. On the
way up a selected choir sang more or
less popular airs and for that
reason or some other lot
more got of at the first point touched at

landed In the middle of the afternoon at
Sprague's wharf, this city, and everyone
congratulated the commissioners on being
entertainers.

POSTOFFICE ROBBED.
Thieves at Natick Drilled the Safe.
Small Booty.

When the postmaster at Natick opened
the postotfice at @ o'clock this morning he
discovered that somebody had been ahead
of him, and that the permises had
been visited during the night by
thieves. He knew this by the way things
were scattered about, the absence of $50
from the cash drawer and the stock of
stamps. Further proof that robbers had
been at work was furnished by the con-
dition OF the safe which held $500 in cash.
A hole had been drilled through the
door near to the lock, but that was the
extent of the robbers work. The $500
were found all right by the postmaster.
1t is presumed that something happened
to frighten away the robbers before they
could blow open the safe. The thieves
visit is the talk of the village. Officers
are at work upon the case, but there is
little material to work with as the visi-
tors work would indicate that they are
professional cracksmen.
