Outing Arranged by Hargadine-
Mckittrick Dry Goods Com
pany Success.
MUCH INTEREST IN BOAT RACE.
Visiting Merchants Make Things
Lively During Four-Hour
Trip on the City Of
Providence.

Women buyers continued to predominate
in the millinery district yesterday, but the
interesting topic among the merchants was
the steamboat excursion arranged by Eu-
gene Lewis Of the Observation-Disclosures
Dry Goods Company for the Texas GUS
toners on Tuesday night.
A. o. James. said to be the s,Iavest man
on Washington avenue; Cook Lewis. Emile
Horn and Walter Allen. aided in making the
trip successful. but it was only when El-
gene Lewis. the only dry goods man who
holds pilots license. took the wheel that
the City Of Providence won the race home
with fast competitor.
The Texas merchants thought they had
seen rivers, they thought they knew all
about having a good time. but from the
moment the City OF Providence left the
wharf at s o'clock until it returned at 1.sO
there had not been anything since the Rob-
ert E. Lee beat the Natcilez that interested
the Texans more than the evening on the
Mississippi.
