vantage of Sunday to go on an outing will
forget that the city is hot and dusty, and
will revel in the comforts Of the beautiful
place. The large Ferris wheel at Marshall
Hall affords an extensive view Of the river
and the surrounding country. and is becom-
Ing more and more popular every day.
The music will be the best that Schroeder's
orchestra is capable Of furnishing, and will
be a continuous feature Of the day. Fish
