acted upon at the next meeting,

President, as the regular night is
July 4th and there will be no meeting on that date.
The next order of business was
the election of a Vice-President to
fill the unexpired term of E. B.

the well-known grocery firm of

ENJOYABLE RIVER TRIP.
Thursday, June 20, will long be
remembered by about SOO people,
young and old, as a day full of
pleasure. At 8.S0 A. M., the Rose
Hite, Gaptain Clark, landed at the
foot of Ghestnut street. The trip
was under the auspices of Lodge
No. 692, I, 0. 0. R, and was a
success throughout. East Liverpool, 38 miles down the river, was-
reached at 12.25, and here an hour-
was given for the passengers to
stroll about the greatest pottery
center in the country. Returning,
Sewickley was reached at 7.45 P.
M. Here a few got off, but the rest
were taken to Goney Island, the
new resort upon the large island.
Here the little folks were giyen fun
in the merry-go-round. The home
landing was reached at 10 o'clock.
The music on board was unusually-
good. It was produced by five
pieces, led by Adam Schmidt,
whose boyhood was spent in Sewickley. His father had a bakery
in the frame building which stood
where Kerr's store now stands, £50
years ago. Schmidt's music was
heartily applauded. It included a
weil-played harp. The steamer was
a (Rose) Hite of pleasure all day,,
and S. T. Shoop did his full duty as
chairman of the managing committee.
