ATLANTIC'SLAST
TRIP SUNDAY.
SWIFT STEAMER TO OPERATE
USUAL EXCURSION TO FER
NANplNA-LoW RATE.

The last Sunday excursion of the
season will be operated to Fernan-
dina Sunday on the steamer Atlantic,
and 1t is probable that the speedy
steamer will carry an unusually large
crowd
Captain White started these Sun
day trips several weeks ago and they
have proved unusually popular among
the people Of the city. The ride to
the Florida port is a very pretty one
and the visits to Amelia beach have
proved a big feature of the trips Each
Sunday a large number have gone
down and the excursions have all been
a success.
While Captain White announced
some time ago that he would operate
the excursions only through the month
tf Sept, and while the last is an
nounced for Sunday, he may decide to
run one excursion a month during the
fall and winter.
The usual low rate of one dollar for
the round trip, including car fare to
and from the beach, will prevail on
Sunday.
