Yesterday morning the early boats
carried large crowds Of passengers for
the Clatsop resorts. The Dwyer with
a party of Astodan went over to Fla
vel, leaving the city at 6;45, and was
followed by the Ocean Wave from
Portland at 1880, most of whose pas
sengers were transferred to the
coaches of the A. and c. r. railroad,
though few went over TO the beach
on the north side.
The White Collar Line evidently was
not on familiar terms with the new
schedule and delayed the train at
Flavel somewhat after leaving time
and thus afforded the Dryers tourists
an opportunity to inspect the Flavel
hotel, much to their satisfaction.
Though the weather at Astoria, be-
ing rather damp and inclined towards
fog, did not give promise Of bright
warm day at the beach, contrary to
expectation. the air was mild and in
