MANY EXCURSIONS,
IhronSs of People Take Advantage of
the Holiday.

Decoration day is the big excursion day
In Washington. No other holiday has the
same attraction. 1t is just the right season
for the big ones and little ones to take a
short trip and have a good time. The
weather is neither too hot and the chill
is out of the ground to permit of sun baths
with old Mother Earth as the bath tub
Christmas has it's vacation fiends, and New
Year and Thanksgiving days are well
rather too hot for out-of-town trips al
though it, too, has many devotees. But on
Decoration day every one who does not
attend the memorial services takes a short
trip. Today was no exception, and thou
sands of people left the city to visit out-of-
town resorts. Many left last night for the
seashore, and this morning the cars were
laden with eXcursionists, each one with a
basket, vending their ways to the depots
or the wharves. The Norfolk steamers
carried a choice list of passengers for Old
Point Comfort and Norfolk. The steamer
Arrowsmith carried a big crowd TO Colonial
and Somerset Beach, with fishing, sailing,
grabbing and bathing as Inducements. The
steamer Macalaster made three trips to
Marshall Hall, and each one was crowded.
River View was the counter attraction, and
the company's boats made four trips dur
ing the day. MANY people took the trains
and the big excursion under the auspices
of the Uniform RaIFk, Knights of Pythias
to Per-Mar and Gettysburg over the B. and
O., was we'll patronized Nelson Company,
of the same order, gave a similar excursion
to Pen Mar and Gettysburg over the Penn
sylvania railroad, and this, too, was
crowded.
All Of the suburban resorts accommo-
dated large crowds. At Glen Echo there
was monster crowd, and the day was
spent in the cool shade Of the glen or else
in the big amphitheater, enjoying the ex-
cellent vaudeville performance. At Cabin
John bridge thereswas a big holiday crowd,
and the ChevysChase cars We're kept crowd
Cd Iav nip
tage Of the beautiful country in the neigh
bohhood of the lake and camped for the
day. Brightwood Glen Sligo and Silver
Springs also accommodated big parties
All the river resorts were we'll patronized,
and there were fishermen enough along the
upper river to catch all the fish in the
Potomac.
1t was an ideal day all through The
fishermen were blessed with good tides and
fairly clear water. Old Sol did some hot
work in the early part Of the day, but Old
Boreas kept the temperature down and
made Memorial day of 1899 one of the
pleaSantest ever experienced
