One of the most ENJOYABLE ont;no
parties of the season was that which
took place yesterday on the schooner
Cambridge" which moved off from
Smyrna Landing about six o'clock in
the morning with as jolly and enthu.
slastlc party as could have been got.
ten together. AS announced last
week, the Cambridge" has been sold
by Mr.. Il. NJ. Price and his partners
to the William Lea Sons Co.. of Will
mington, and the excursion Yesterday
was the last one that our Smyrna folks
may ever enjoy on her again. For
outing parties it has proven an ideal
boat. The trip Yesterday was made
from Smyrna Landing direct to the
Fishing Banks, where they weighed
anchor for an hour or more and finally
left the fishermen of the party to trv
their luck at angling, while the rest
sailed down the bay to Bowers Beach.
In the fishing boats were Mr.. Joseph
Smithers, Mr.. Taylor Wilson. Mr.. w
ID. Hudson and Mr.. Andrew Cole. who
during the absence of the Cambridge"
caught over thirty fine trout. The
excurslonists spent an hour or more at
Bowers where they were met by Mr..
and Mrs. f. E. Postles and other cot
tagers sojournlng there. The sun was
intensely hot and but little if anv
breeze was stirring. They left Bow
ers and returned to the Fishing Banks
where they weighed anchor for some
more fishing and left about five O'Clock
IN the afternoon on their return trip.

lore delightful breeze struck up and
furnished a delightful sail. The wind
and tide, however, were against them
and after tacking for awhile thew re-
sorted to the engine, which made fas-
ter time. Unable to get over the sand
bar at the mouth of the creek, thew
were obliged to wait for the tide, which
time was spent at Woodland Beach.
1t was between two and three o'clock
before the party reached home. On
board the Cambridge" the party not
only INDUCED the day in true picnic
style, but toward evening there was
some fine chorus singing and altogether
the day was a splendid success. Those
