LINCOLN CLUBS OUTING.

The Lincoln Club of Whittier House
went on an excursion yesterday with the
Bethany Young Mems Institute to Iona
Island. The steamer was delayed in
starting, and it did not arrive at the
island until 2:30. That made it necessary
to delay the return, and instead of ar
irving at New York at five it was after
nine when the steamer reached the dock.
The Lincoln Club had a jolly time. The
boys played all possible games. Joined in
the dancing, and sang popular tunes
Justify. Arrived at the island they were
the first off. and they secured a table in
the most picturesque spot. They played
baseball and several of them went in
swimming.
On the way home the Lincoln Club kept
up a vigorous singing. and so that 40 IN
on board might be ignorant of their club
the enlivened the air with the club CALI
"Rah, rah, rah, rah, rah, ran,
We are out on a ira, Ia, la,
We're from Jersey, the State we love,
We are members of the Lincoln Club.
Are we in it? Well, we should smile;
We've been in it a long, long while"
And the other excursionists were will
ing to agree that in it they certainly had
been.
The club aided by a friendly policeman,
dock. and the boys FASTENED home, keep
ing up their call and their singing, and
never ceasing till they disbanded to go
their homes.

zABRIsKIE POSTS OUTING.

The members of the Zabriskie Post, No.
So, G. A. r., went on their annual excur-
sion yesterday to Laurelton Grove. About
200 people on the iron steamboat Cygnus
left the Fourteenth street dock, Hoboken,
at nine O'Clock. and stopped at the foot of
Norris street, this city, where another
large crowd was taken on board. The
excursionists spent a most enjoyable day.
The great success of the excursions Civ
en- by the post has made them among the
most popular of the season. The affair
was admirably carried out in every detail.
Everybody had a good time. There was
dancing on the boat, and when the grove
was reached numerous amusements were
to be had. The children especially en-
joyed the trip. Veterans from many other
posts attended and took their families
along with them. The proceeds of the ex-
cursion, which will undoubtedly be large,
will be added to the relief fund.
