Great casks of lemonade were broken out by The Star for the boys and by the time the City of Washjngtoh rubbed her fenders at the resort wharf ap- proximately 125 gallons of the “treat” had gone the route. Then came ice cream, Once at the resort, the boys fell to with the tickets furnished them for the amusement devices, and after two hours of good hard play the pleasant sail back up the river was begun. It figures tell a story, 1,382 of the boys and their guests—for they were allowed to bring members of their fam- ilies—boarded the boat at Washington and another 43 piled aboard at- Alex- andria, bringing the total to 1425. Galt Burns, circulation manager of The Star, who had direct charge of the outing, with the assistance of the route agents, declared that the outing was the jolliest and merriest of any en- Joyed by the carriers. .
