ed if it could have aqualed last Thursday
The day was simply perfect for a trip up
the river. There was a pleasant company
| on board the steamer, the band chaered the
way with its charming music, and the seen
cry OF the beautiful Penobscot was never
seen to better advantage. The Sedgwick
landed her passengers at Bangor at Il a. NJ,
| and the afternoon was all before them. 1t
was Governors Day at the Eastern State
Fair, and ely Rods" day also, for she held
quite reception in her sportsman's exhibit
and was called upon by all the dignitaries.
Some OF the excursionists took the City Of
Bangor home, and enjoyed the reverse view
of the river by daylight, wi lille the Sedgwick
left Bangor on the return at 7.15 p M. ar
irving at Belfast at 11l5 .. m. The band
will net about 500 from the excursion.
