EXCURSIONS.

One OF the most pleasant excursions Of
the season was given yesterday to River
View by the Deutsche Central Verein. The
German residents Of the city turned out in
force and seemed to thoroughly enjoy the
attractions at the resort, the dancing pa
vflion, shoot the chute, bowling alleys,
shooting galleries and others receiving q
full share Of attention. A combined choir
OF the Arion Singing Society and the Maen-
nerchor rendered several selections during
the afternoon. The success Of the excur-
sion was largely due to the committee of
arrangements. Messrs Emil SPAIN. Au-

that is appreciated by them to the fullest

The River Queen made the regular Sum-
day run to Chapel Point yesterday One
of the largest crowds of the season was
on hand when the boat pulled out from the
wharf. The trip of four hours was most
enjoyable, and, after the grounds were
reached. the guests proceeded to take pos
session of everything in sight. They lined
the wharf and shores of the river, fishing
and grabbing, and the bathing beach was
crowded throughout the day. There hasn't
been merrier party of folks at the Point
since the inauguration of the season, and
all were reluctant to leave the grounds
when the time came to make the start for
home. The cafe on the boat with its eX-
ccllent dinners and service, did a rushing
business. The home trip was delightful,

the approach to Washington and conse-

day and Thursday, as well as Sundays,
throughout the season.
The Mystic Shriners are going to manage
things with high hand at Marshall Hall
on Wednesday night next. 1t Is the occa-
sion of their annual outing. and no one who
cares for jolly time can let this pass I'M
noticed. There will be nothing but amuse-
ment and jollity. actually from the time
the boat leaves the wharf, for they have
arranged program that goes far ahead Of
anything that has been attempted on the
boats or grounds the season through. They
have planned for three immense shows,
one on the steamer on the way to the Hall,
one while on the grounds, and another on
the home trip on the boat again. All the
best local talent in the various lines are
included in the bill, and all the favorites.
Mr. Ed. Hay is to be master of ceremonies,
and that assures that everything will go
along with the rush that makes such things
successful. The exhibition drill of the
Arab Patrol, using the same costumes as
in Detroit during the late session of the
Imperial Council, will be most important
feature of the evening. Marshall Hall Is
the place; $50 is the time; the Manchester
