CHlLDRE:.!.. TO GO
Up y! HUDSON RIVER
Principal Cortright to Head
Delegation of Sightseers
to West Point

Unless the storm, produced by that
fourth western cyclone, originating
in Missouri, interferes, the party of
Shelton grammar school graduates
and their friends to the number of
over 100, will make their trip to
West Point tomorrow. While there is
no danger that any of the pupils OF
the school will get left, by reason OF
the train leaving at 6:25, some Of
the friends of the party are wonder
ing whether they had better buy an
alarm clock, or sit up all night. 1t
is hoped that 1t will not be necessary
to do the latter. No one has eyer
been left on the previous West Point
trips, although each party has left
on this same train.
Few members of the party have
ever been up the Hudson, and a
treat that cannot be expressed in
words awaits them. The Palisades,
Tarrytown Sleepy Hollow, Stony
Point, Anthon'ys Nose and other many
famous historical and literary points
will furnish a share of the pleasure
of the trip. The daytime boat is the
best equipped river boat afioat The
orchestra furnishes the finest of en-
tertainment.
Arriving at West Point, the party
will visit the Riding Academy, the
administration building. the library
the officers mess hall, the gymna-
stun, the Civil War battle monuN
ment and if time permits before the
inspection of the Cadet corps, the
chapel on the mountainside. The
view of the river from the foot of
the battle monument through the
north gate of the Highlands is one
of Americas choicest views. Cameras
will be taken, and q snap shot of
the entire party group on the battle
monument will form one of the pic
lures. After inspection of-the Cadet
corps to the strains of the music from
the Army band, the party will take
the daytime boat down the river, and
will go to the dining room while they
rest and partake Of the special lunch
The return trip on the New Haven
road will be made, leaving 129th
street at &c IL, and arriving in this
city at 1892. About a dozen mem
bers of the party are planning to
remain in the city. The Grammar
