Music, darcing, aud every rational enjoy- ment which could be devised for the occasion, were en- couraged and participated {n during the day. The severe showers which occurred dampened but a trifle the inten- tiops of the excuraionisis to crowd as much pleasure as it were posible in the few hours allotted them to remain upon the water.

The hour at length arrived to return, aud the vessels were headed homeward. On arriving at Ward’s Isiand they casayed to come through Burigete, but the steamboat \t seems did not possess auf- florent power with the barge alongside to stem the car- reut, and (hey were obliged to take refage im # cove near the mouth of the Kills at the upper end of Randall Island, About eleven o’clock in the evening the tide slackened, and they again got under way, not, however, until the ,atkence of the company was nearly exhausted.
