EXCURSIONS.

No matter how hot 1t is in the city, nor
how sultry and muggy the days are, one
may get relief and pleasure in the trip 20
Indian Head on the Manchester Four hours
is enough to cool off the greatest sufferer
from the heat, and that is the time that's
occupied in making the run. There Is
music on the boat, and from the time the
boat leaves the wharf something to en-
terrain is constantly going on. At Alexan-
dria and Marshall Hall the boat stops on
both trips, down and back, and chance
is given to spend a little time at the Hall
and indulge in dance or two, If 1t Is de-
sired. Nothing around Washington is Of
fered that can equal this cool, breezy sail
of nearly fifty miles, and certainly the hun
dreds of folks who weekly make up the
parties are we'll repaid for he Journey
The Manchester will make these runs every
Thursday, Friday and Saturday night I'M
til further notice. Convenience is one
studied feature of this trip. In that con-
nection. reminder to the gentlemen about
the barber shop will not be out Of place
Tonsorial attention while on the way to
the Head is much better than hurry
ing around town that hint is all that is
necessary. The Manchester leaves at $50
p. m.
An unusual sale of tickets is going on for
the outing of the Burnside Women's Re
lief Corps, that goes to Marshall Hall to-
night. There has been a program arranged
that will surprise their friends, and they
have made plans to outio dill previous at
tempts at entertaining, that have been we'll
nigh perfection in the past years. They
have arranged everything even 10 the mi
nutest detail that things may go smoothly
and jolly good time is looked forward to
by the many ticket holders. Marshall Hall
affords facilities for good times that 1t
would be hard to equal, and the ladies have
done much to add to the opportunities at
hand to insure the enjoyment of eacn and
every one of their guests. The Manchester
leaves at $50 p. m.

One of the most popular organizations
in the District, the Veteran Volunteer Fire
men, took an outing at River View yester
day. They could not have chosen more
beautiful day for the trip and the weath her
induced crowd to go down that tested the
capacity of the PentZ in the evening and
loaded the boat down on all the other trips
made during the day. A committee con-
ssting of Messrs. James Richards, presi-
dent; Henry Thorn, secretary; William
Smith and John Schofield had the affair in
charge.
The family Saturdays at River View
were established about five years ago by
Capt. E. s. Randall, the proprietor OF that
pleasant resort, for the benefit of the chill
dren and their mothers, who greatly APP
preciate having a day to themselves. To-
morrow the usual family day trips will be
made, and mothers will again have an op-
portunity to bring all their little ones for
a day in the open air. The lawns at the
View are wide. and the children run
about and play without fear of being told
to stop. They make all the noise they
want, for during the day River View is
theirs. Tomorrow the steamer Pentz will
leave her wharf at 10 am, 2 and 6:45 pm.
The "chute" and other amusements at
the View will be in full operation, and
there will also be music and dancing all
