EXCURSIONS.

Chevy Chase Lake is open and the
management declares there is no longer
any question about where 10 go To pas
a pleasant evening. The character of
amusements. the beauty of the place and
the tone Of its patronage have long made
this resort a popular high-class pleasure
park.
Quite the greatest attractions are the
nightly Marine Band concerts and the il
Illuminated riding track. with its prancing
saddle ponies and little burro carts.
Dancing follows in the pavilion after the
evening musical program. Music is fur
nished by the same. players who give the
concerts. selected performers from the
United States Marine Band. motion
picture theater, bowling alley shooting
gallery and swings other sources of
amusement. Excellent car service is pro-
vided.
Not only are the Norfolk and Washing
ton Steamboat Company's weekend trips
to Old Point Comfort decidedly enjoyable
affairs. but they ire likewise very at
trac,ive from the standpoint of economy.
One ticket defrays steamer expenses and
full board at the Old Point hotels. the
traveller having his choice of the Cham
berlin or the Sherwood. Both OF these
host eIries are noted for the excellence of
their appointments and cuisine, about the
only distinction being in size. The Sher-
wood is smaller and more of a family
house.
Tickets for these trips are sold Fridays
and Saturdays of each week, the steam
ers leaving at $40 pm those days. Be-
speaking accommoda atoms in advance is
advantageous, for the demand for state
rooms is large, particularly on the dates
when the new boat Southland makes the
trips. Reservation office is located at 7u.
14th street. Colorado building.
Since the opening of the season at Ches-
apeake Beach last week crowds of
wearied urbanites have daily taken ad-
vantage of the convenient resting place
which is so easy of access and yet so
comprehensive in its line of offerings as
to attract strongly the transient as well
as the regular pleasure seeker At con-
venient hours each day trains run to the
Beach. and with these the easiest sort
of connection may be had by way of the
street car.
