The excursion to Norfolk given
under the auspices of The Owl So
cial Club was in every way a pro-
nounced success, and reflected great
credit upon the management. While
it is true that there was some delay
in leaving, the boat not going until
one hour after the schedule time,
and while it is true that the attend
ance was not up to expectation,
these insignificant drawbacks Were
easily counterbalanced by the co.
geneality-the bon camaradrie-
that was everywhere notica = e
among the guests.
We started about the time in the
evening when the excursion boats
leave for their different resorts, and
we had great fun passing them all
en- route, the George Leary easily
showing them clean pair Of heels.
We should all be extremity proud
Of the fact that in this boat we have
fast, if not the fastest, side
wheeler on the river.
AS soon as the shades of night
prevented further enjoyment Of the
picturesque scenery of the Potomac
the excursionists turned their atten.
ton to other forms of amusement,
and that they were succeeding vera

laughter, the good natured badi-
mage, the merry pranks, and prac-
teal jokes of the younger members
of the party. The trip down was
devoid of incident hlref nr than
fire which We sighted some distance
below Piney Point. The flames lit
up the heavens and was beautiful
sight from the deck of the Leary.
We arrived in Norfolk about 9
o'clock and in few moments there
was no one left on the boat but the
crew, the excursionists losing no
time in exploring Norfolk and its
