not previously taken the trip on the
river remarked that they had no idea
of the beauties of the park section or
the views from the river The trip

better realization of the splendid seen
cry of this section.
On the return the wind blew hard
against the boat, but the trip was
made in good time and the party reach
ed the city landing shortly before one
o'clock. 1t was planned to return by
noon but the time of the trip was
heightened by unanimous consent soon
after the party had started up the
river and were beginning to enjoy the
outing.
Captain DeAIers was introduced to
the business men in the party bv Mr..
