ENCU HSIONS.
be present

The River View excursion season of 1898,
which opened in May. was brought to a
close on Sunday last, when the steamer
Samuel ]. Pentz made her last trips to that
popular resort. The passenger records of
the Pentz show that over 197, 900 persons
visited River View this year, and this large
throng was handled by the View manage
ment without a hitch In the schedules Of
the steamers or an accident to a passenger,
a record that Capt. Randall has every rea-
son to be proud of. During the season some
eighty-three different organizations gave
excursions to River View, and of this num-
Der thirty-eight were Sunday schools or
church organizations. 1t is estimated that
persons who went to the View were women
and children. During the coming winter
and spring it is Capt. Randalrs intention
to greatly improve the River View park,
and plans are now being prepared for at
fractions to be placed there before the OPEN
ing of next season, which Will cost in the
aggregate about $4,000. Capt Randall pro-
poses to make his resort equal to any in
the country as a pleasure park for the peo-
pie of Washington and Alexandra.
The steamer Harry Randall of Randalrs
Potomac River Line. still continues high in
public favor as a freight and passenger
boat to the mouth of the river, making
three round trips each week as far down
as Lower Machodoc creek and Nomini.
The little propeller steamer Estele Ran
dali, which runs the mail route between
Washington and Glymont every day except
Sunday, is also very popular, and since the
route was established, over a year ago.
quite a fine freight and passenger business
has been built up,

be rendered tonight at s o'clock by the citi-
zens of Anacostia to the boys who enlisted

lar army are Bruce Allen, Norman North
