ginia Beach and Ocean View tomorrow
evening promises to be the most successful
one that the Norfolk and Washington

day, will give an opportunity to be away
from the city both Sunday and Monday.

rows excursion, which will be good for re-
turn passage until Tuesday evening, Sep

Now that it is getting comparatively near
the end of the season, those who care to
make the run to Indian Head cannot post
pone the outing for any length of time
If one should prefer to spend part of the
time at Marshall Hall, the stops made by
tHc hdCditSttI, DOtH SOllS anu returning,
allows one to do SO. There dancing and
any of the other numerous amusements
may be INDUCED in, plenty of time being
allowed until the return of the steamer
from Indian Head There is music on the
boat both on the down and home tri1s
and Schroeder's Band also furnishes the
melodies for the dancers at the Hail. This
trip, on which SO many have had the best
sort of times this summer, should not be
allowed to pass out of reach without one
more evening pleasurably spent midst the
enjoyments of this most popular down-the-
river resort. The Manchester leaves at 6:3O
p. III.
There are many living here in Washing
ton. who have been here for long time and
have not taken the run to Mount Vernon
Here is a historical spot that hundreds of
people come miles to see, especially in the
spring and fall. If one has not made the
trip the first opportunity should be taken
to honor the memory of one of the chief
figures III history. Washingtons tomb,
which is primarily the objective point of all
visitors. is located in one of the most pic
turesque parts of the grounds. 1t is fine
structure, fit to do the duty assigned to it.
In front of the tomb all visitors will stand
with barred heads while the guide tells of
the historical points connected with the
father of his country. The mansion is
filled with things of interest. A great many
CT the rooms have been kept just as they
were-with all the furnishings as in the
time of Washington. The pleasantest way
Manchester, which leaves every morning at
10 o'clock and again at 80.
The excursion of Jasper Garrison of the
Regular Army and Navy Union, which was
given to River View yesterday, was an en-
joyable affair. The soldiers had many
friends who turned out for the occasion
and went TO the View on the evening trip
The Fourth Artillery Band, which was in
attendance, gave concerts during the after
roon and evening. The drill by the garri-
son, under the command of Sergt Parks
the commander of the garrison, was very
nne, the fancy movements being particu-
larry pretty and well executed. Nearly all
the crowd remained down until the last
boat and all came home well pleased
The last of the regular family day trIps
TO River View, the popular excursion re-
sort, Will be run Saturday of next week
and parents will take advantage of the
cheap rate of fare offered to give their chill
dren another outing before the season ends
Ihese family days have been very popular
ever since they were inaugurated some
twelve years ago, and each Saturday has
seen crowds of little people on the View
GROUNDS having right merry time Since
the present season opened it Is estimated
That 900 children on an average visited
the View each week. They all had a great
lime and were allowed to play about the
broad lawns of the View and make as much
noise as they pleased without any one try
Ing to stop them. Tomorrow the steamer
PentZ will leave her wharf at 10 am .
and GAO pm, and on the two early trips
the fare will be reduced to ALL good to re-
turn home on airy trip. Wednesday next
