About one hundred and fifty persons left
the Northport Camp Ground wharf last
Friday on the splendid steamer City of
Rockland, on an excursion to Bangor, in the
interests of the chapel in course of construc-
ton at Browns Corner. The day was an
ideal one for an enjoyable time. 1t was
just cool enough for comfort and the water
in the river was very smooth. To one who
has never sailed up the Penobscot it was
grand beyond description. Too much can
not be said in praise of Capt. Ingraham, his
officers and crew, for their politeness during
the trip. The early arrival of the boat at
Bangor-11 o'clock-gave the excurSioniSts
three hours in which to look over the beau
tiful Queen City. The writer and family
took trolley ride in the electrics over the
city, after which Mr.. VIM p Dickey, hard
ware dealer, took us to his spacious resi-
dence OH Broadway and then in his carriage
carried us to the many places of interest,
leaving us at the wharf in season to start
for down river, arriving at Northport at
P. NJ, having passed day that was brim-
full of enjoyment. The B. Il B. S. S. Co.
are entitled the thanks of the community
for their generosity in aiding so worthy an
object. The chapel fund was increased $50.
