repairs within the next week. The harbor
police boat Vigilant had arranged to go
upon the railway at the Alexandria yard
last Saturday morning in order to have
her hull remetaled in preparation for serv-
ice in ice on the river this winter, but the
hauling of the Districts vessel was delayed,
and she was saved from the risk of being
seriously damaged. The preparing of the
Vigilant for winter service will not be seri-
ously delayed, as arrangements were made
yesterday for the hauling of the tug on
the marine railway at Benefits boatyard
in this city as soon as the new tug Tobe,
belonging to A. ]. Taylor & Bro, can be
finished and the tug launched. This will
be early in the coming week. The remetal-
ing of the Vfgilant will be done as she lies
on the railway here by the Alexandria con-
tractors for the work.

EXCURSIONS.

The side trip from Washington that pos
sesses the most attraction for visitors is
undoubtedly the sail down the historic
Potomac to Old Point Comfort, via the
superbly equipped steamers Of the Nor
folk and Washington Steamboat Company.
In the immediate vicinity Of Old Point and
Norfolk are situated scores of interesting
places, including, among many others.
jamestown. Yorktown, Portsmouth, For
tress Monroe, the site Of the jamestown
exposition and similar points, all of which
are attractive historically. The Norfolk
and Washington boats sail every day in
the year at $50 pm, and connect at Nor
folk with rail routes for southern potnts q
and with steamers for New York and
Boston.
An excellent way to make connections
with trains of the Metropolitan branch OF
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad is to take
the Kensington cars running from Chevy
Chase lake. and then board trains at Ken
sington for Rockville, Gaithersburg etc
Kensington cars run from the lake every
half hour, and cars leave New York avenue
and 18th street the quarter before and
after the hour, making direct connections
with them.
Upon the choice Of routes depends much
of the enjoyment Of a trip to California.
For a variety Of reasons the Washington
Sunset route is unquestionably the most
attractive. lhis is tne most sOutnernty
route one can take, and agreeable weather
and temperature are almost a certainty

season. In addition, there is no annoy
ance from smoke and cinders. for oil re-
places coal as the steam-producing fuel
used in the engines. The train Equipment
