THE PRESIDENTS OUTING.
A jolly White House Party stcnms
Down the Potomac.

After an enjoyable excursion down the
Potomac on the dispatch boat Sylph, the
President and party returned late yester-
day afternoon, reaching the Navy Yard at
4:l5 O'Clock.
There were fourteen persons in the party
with President Mckinley. These were Mrs.
Mckinley. Col and Mrs. Myron T. Herrick
Of Cleveland. Captain and Mrs. McWiIliams
of Chicago Captain and Mrs. Rand. Miss
Mary Barber, Miss Mabel Mckinley, Miss
Clara Shields Miss Mary McWilliams Miss
Carry Harter. c. r. Shultz, and James
Barber.
They are all guests at the White House
and the trip was arranged for their enjoy
ment, as well as 10 give Mr.. Mckinley a
breathing spell from the pressure OF his
official duties. The Sylph. which has been
fitted up as the Presidents yacht, made
very fast time and gave the visitors a
splendid panoramic view OF the historic
Potomac. No stops were made during the
pleasure voyage. Three carriages awaited
the distinguished party at the Navy Yard
and upon their return they were whirled
away to the White House.
Last night President Mckinley paid q
high tribute TO the speed OF the Sylph and
her excellent condition and arrangement.

"A Grip of Steel" is firmly fixed at the
Academy Of Music-so firmly that in all
probability it will play to good business all
the week. Those who attended the per-
Torrance last night will undoubtedly tell
their friends of the thrills received during
the course OF the evening. These friends
will probably inform other acquaintances
of the fact and consequently every person
in the city who enjoys d good old fash
oned shiver will go to the house. And
they will get what they seek.
~ Grip of Steel" is more like three
ringed circus than anything else op-,the
road and it bears the same relation to the
old fashioned meiodrama that the afore-
said combination bears to the ancient ag-
gregation of acrobats wild animals, and
pink lemonade that so pleased our fathers
and mothers. Thrills come in tripliCate.
and all because the piece possesses re
dundancy of villains Everybody in the
cast, except an American naval officer,
tries his hand AT dirty work. and the

greatest rascal of the crowd. Probably
there has never assembled at the Academy
an audience that was better pleased with
the effort presented for its pleasure. If
