THE MATINEE BOAT.

The offer of the st. Tammany
Steamship Company to accomodate
theatre parties of fifteen or more by
remaining at West End until $50
p. M, when requested to do so, was
taken advantage of by party of fif-
teen Wednesday, February Is, which
was supplemented by the addition of
a number of passengers on board
who also took advantage of the op-
portunity to attend the matinee. The
opportunity was highly appreciated,
and these parties promise to become
very popular, both by reason of the
pleasant ride across the lake in the
healthful invigorating atmosphere,
without the dust, crush and worry
of railroad travel, and because of
the leisure time that is given in at
tending the theatre.
The company finds it necessary,
however, that notice of these lay
overs be made at least one day in
advance, SO that proper arrange
ments can be made with the motor
line to run car to Covington, leav-
ing Vaudeville a. o'clock in the
evening, the time the boat gets In.
