| comfortable accommodations for those who
desire to stay at the resort over night or

| sort, is one of the safest, best-appointed
and swiftest boats on the river and the
| ride both to and. from the Beach is delight
| full in the extreme. The Moseley will leave
| tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock sharp and
| this evening at $50 o'clock. The evening
| trip Is especially desirable on account of the
| moonlight ride CT sixty odd miles that is
| afforded. At the Beach saltwater bathing
| grabbing, fishing and boating are to be
| enjoyed, in addition to the numherless
| other attractions that go to make up d
| irst-ciass excursion resort.
