On the afternoon of Thursday, soon after adjournment, the 
guests will embark upon a steamer which has already been 
chartered, and indulge in one of the most delightful sails which 
is afforded by this section, passing down through New York 
Harbor, amidst the beautiful scenery contributed by the banks 
of Dong Island, Staten Island and the Jersey coast, within full 
view of the Brooklyn Bridge, the Statue of Liberty, Governor’s 
Island, and past the naval fortifications at Forts Hamilton 
Wadsworth, and. Lafayette ; past famous Coney Island, and then 
out to sea, arriving in due season at Rockaway Beach, where 
one of the far-famed Wainwright Rhode Island clam-bakes will 
be served, and to those who have never indulged in that luxury

enjoyment than Rockaway, and the guests will remain there a 
sufficient time to partake of its pleasantries. The ladies will 
be an added attraction upon this outing, and it is hoped that a 
larger number will be present than ever before. The steamer 
will reach New York in ample time for night trains to be taken 
by those who may wish to leave for home on that evenino-.
