the hotel pavilions. There were many
others who patronized the hotels, and both
the Hotel Tybee and the South End show

Bathing was enjoyed by nearly ali of the
eXcursiOnists and gathering shells delight
ed many of the younger people
The returning eXcursionists arrived in
the city at 6 o'clock yesterday afternoon
and left half an hour later on the way
to their homes Nearly every one bore
some memento Of the trip in the shape of
sea Shells Palmetto, beach grasses or
some curiosity of old Neptunes domain.
The excursionists were at Tybee during
the morning and early in the afternoon,
and they, with the large crowd of horti-
cultursts, who went down on the 2:3O
O'Clock train, ran the number of visitors
way up into the big figures.
