THE TEACHERS DEPART.
Institute of instruction Ends with a
Delightful Sail.

Bay State Takes Thousand Delighted
Visitors Down the Harbor-Election of
Officers and Final Session.
The session of the American Institute
&C Instruction closed yesterday with
delightful sail down the harbor on the
steamer Bay State.
The hour for the starting of the steamer
was 2. 80 D. m, but for an hour before that
time teachers and their friends were ar
irving; and as the hour of sailing arrived
the hurricane deck and all other out
door portions of the steamer where people
may stand or sit, were alive with excur
sionists.
Chandler's band had place on, the hur-
ricane deck, whence it's delightful music
pervaded the whole steamer The Tenn
lie quartette were in the saloon, and
from time to time sang
Meanwhile, down in the depths of the
vessel, ice cream, cake and lemonade
were being arranged to be served on the
lower deck forward.
The steamer started promptly, and was
soon gliding down towards the roads,
amid salutes from all craft in the harbo :.
The Bay State passed between Peaks
and Diamond islands, then turned shore
ward towards Falmouth Foreside, coast
ing on the outside of Cousens's Island,
and passing around Great Chebeague.
The cottagers along the route focked out
to see the great steamer with the people
swarning over her decks, and saluted
with flags, bells, horns, red table cloths
and handkerchiefs. The great steam er
responded to all salutes, and was giving
toots of etiquette all the.way. Turning be-
low Great Chebeague the steamer came
back outside of Long Isand, steamed in
through Hussey's Sound land returned
to the city through the roads.
No exercises, except thu eating of ice
cream and cake, took place on the boat.
The company was too great to allow
any speech making.

Messrs. George S. Hunt, and William W.
