The next day, having given the
matter thought, the monarch approached
the couch where lay the fool in much
pain and apoliglzed sincerely for his
conduct, expressing great sorrow.
"Your sorrow is beautiful to sec"
complained the fool, "but ID does not

GEORGE WAsHiNGroN TOURISTS.


Monday Evening on the Steamer Ulrica.
The eighth annual excursion of the
George Washington Fishing Club was
given Monday under favorable aus
pices. About 1000 invitations had
been issued and It large number OF
guests took advantage Of the uppor.
tunity to try their luck at angling and
boarded the steamer Ulrica at King
street wharf.
The fishermen are 10th to talk much
about their trip to the fishing waters of
the Delaware and the natural inference
is that the fish were shy and failed To
bite rs readily as in the days of yOre.
Nevertheless the anglers offered ihcm
every inducement to do So, and if they
failed to bite at all, the anglers declare
II WAS not their fault and appear per.
fectly satisfied. Some Of the fishermen
accuse the pioneers with warning tine
fish Of the arrival of the fishing craft
and thus explain the failure Of the crew
to make successful haul Monday.
The party returned to Wilmington in
the evening.
The band on the George Washington
Fishing Club excursion was composed
Of members OF the First Regiment Sand
and Grace Orchestra, under the leader
ship of William IL. Eberle, and not of
members OF Hyatts Military Band.
