Her ajjpearance at the dock above the lot ks at-

edge too, that her engine and machinery were fur-
nished by the I'ciiiiul Manufacturing Coini)any of
l.ockpoit, was parti( tilarly gratifying to the visitors
and added very much to the interest with which the
boat was looked upon by the great crowds who ex-
amined her while laying at the dock. The boat is
a model of her kind, and was built in Buffalo dur-

KADKRS of the SiANDAkn are already aware
that our townsman, Mr. [oii.v (IkI'.k.wv.w has
-^^ been having built a steam yacht, ostensibly
ir the |)iir|)ose of better servinj,' his customers
alon^ the line of canals, with his ales, ])orter and
lager; at the same time in its get up bearing in
mind the .lecessities of pleasure as well. Keeping
in mind the two-fold purpose of business and pleas-
ure, no pains or e.xpense has been spared in the
building and fitting out of the new craft ; and a re-
sult has been accomplished of which Syracuse may
well be i)rou(l as the "home" of the .l/j/iic Laurie,
as well ^is iJuffalo, the jilace of her building — as will
readily be e\ iilent to any one e.xamining the ya( hi,
now lying in the packet dock ojjijosite the W'ieting
I!lo. k.
The Aniiii' I.iJiiric, built by Mr. \\. H.Miinr, of
lUilTalo, under the immediate oversight of Captain C.

After a short ride the party arrived at Cayuga, where
the beautiful steamer Annie Laurie was in waiting to
con%ey them up the lake. Without delay the e.xc ur-
sionists embarked, the whistle sounded, and the
staunch little steamer started on her voyage. The
morning was a most delightful one. the air was cool
and exhilirating, and the party were in the best of
spirits in anticipations of pleasure that were realized
in the fullest measure. Mr. (Ireenway never does
anything by halves, and hardly had the steamer left

from its sjiecial attractions of si encry and locality.
It is here that Cornell University is located, whose
President is a ciJi/en of Syracuse, in whom Syra-
cus-'is justly take i)riile. We were very agreeahly
(lisai)i)ointed with Ithaca, and more partii ularly
with Cornell University. The villa<^e is a prosper-
ous, thriving town, whose streets bustle with at tivi-
tv, and whose business i)laces denote a thrift and
prosperity rarely found in inland vil'ages. The
crowning attraction of the place is, of course, the
university. Our stay was necessarily brief, and our
observations but limited, and yet enough was seen
to convin( e one that I'resident White is the right
man in the right place. His rare e.xecutive ability
is seen in the admirable discipline that character-
izes the institution. His ajsthetical taste is displayed
in the artistic embellishments of the various depart-
ments, while the rare and costly gems of art that
crowd each other in their appropriate places denote
the rare accomplishments of the cultured scholar
and the refined gentleman. .Mthough the college is
new in years, it is superior to older institutions in
rich collections of works of art, in a magnificent
library, in scientific appa.itus, a^.d in everything
that aids or illustrates the lecture or the text book.

The excursionists were fortun:itt' in finding i'resi-

a genial and cordial welcome. His home is most
delighttully located on tlie summit'of the liill, over-
looking the university and a panorama beb w, whic h
is hardly ci|ualecl in the world. A half b(iur was
most agreeably spent in the enjoyment of the hos-
pitalities of President White and family, and the
party reluctantly returned to the steamlxiat landing,

The ride back to Cayuga was even more delight-
ful than the trip uj) the lake. Quite a bree/e was
blowing, and a good sea was running. 'I'he staunch
little steamer rode tlie waxes as gracefullv as a thin''
of life. (lr()U])ed over the decks and in tlie c abins
the excursionists gave themselves up thoroughly to
the enjoyment of the magnificent jianorama, spread
out before them on both sides of the lake. Words
are inadecpiate to convey any idea of the beauty of
('ayuga lake. Its shores are lined with ric h farms,
whose well-kept fences, buildings and houses, de-
note the thrift and industry of the inhabitants that
dwell thereon. Later in the evening the moon rose,
and silvered the dark waters of the lake, and the
ripples that feathered from the bow of the Aniiir
l.iuric, glistened under her brigb.t beams like dia-
monds in the sunlight.
Cayuga was reached at half-past eight o'c lock,
and there the excursionists took the cars for (iene-
va, the boat proc:eeding by the river and canal. .\t

a mail was an lioiior to himself, and an Imnor to

the s|)i'aker to recount the many a( ts of generosity
and kindness to his fellow-men liiat hal endeared

charity and his generosits were exeri ised in a ipiiet
and unostentatious manner that were entirely ( liar-

the waters bore their fruit, and John (IkKKN way's
reward is the esteem, respe( t and honor in which he
is held by his fellow citizens.
We are indebted to this man of noble heart for
two days of pleasure, unalloyed by a siugle thing
whi( h might mar the hapjiiness (jf any. To the
speaker the day |).issed on Sencc a Lake had been
one of the most enjoyalile of his life. Old at (|uain-
tances had been renewed and old friendships iiad
been freshly cemented. He sjioke in a double ca-
pacity, to convey the thanks of the party to Mr.

the excursion had afforded, and to t onvey to the
excursionist in behalfof Mr. (Ikkknwav his sincere
appreciation of the kind expressions that had been
madt' concerning him.
Mr. White's address was a most hajipy effort and
was characterized by a sincerity and warmth of feel-
ing that were i)articularly impressive.

paired to the steamboat landing, where the staunch
steamer was moored, she having reached (ieneva
about two o'clock, prejiaratory to embarking for the
trip for Watkins (ilen.
.\t 9:20 the whistle sounded and "all aboard" was
the order. Soon alter the steamer was olT, amid the
i!ieers of a large crowd which had gathered to in-

The trij) up the lake, forty-four miles, was made

an hour was spent in visiting the WiUard Asylum
for the insane. The parly was < onchu teil through
the various wards liy the steward, Mr. Mott, j. Oil-

fullest evidence that this needed asylum is in the
hands of competent managers
The moonlight ride from Ovid to C.eneNa was
hugely enjoyd by the exc ursionists, the surround-
ings being esi)ecially adapted to human enjoyment.
Smooth water, a clear sky, bright moonlight, a fast
craft, a goodly and appreciative company, were
sufficient inducements to cause a general wish that
the 'lour might be prolonged indefinitely. J5ut the
fast-going craft brought the delightful tri]) to an end.
by arriving at the dock at (leneva at half-past nine
o'clock.
Here the excursionist's were "surprised" at find-
ing the Geneva bras-, band and a large delegation of
citizens to receive them. After disend)arking, the
excursionists were escorted to the Franklin House,

of i)rincely hospitality, and while on the boat visi-

lake is one of the linest sheets in the world. The
lake is l.d l.y sprinj^s. lis waler> .Pe piiri' and
cold. Il^ shores are ,i;eiur.dl\ slopin-. and <piiel!y

and somewhat imposiiij;. The t (iiintry on e,i< h

of Krain, and on the west shore, as we a|i|)roa( h the
hike, the hill sides ,ire <overed with \ ineyards and
pe.K h on h.irds, presenliuL; a most noNel and inter-
esting a|)pearame. One of till pediliar leatures of
this beautiful lake is the fact that not a sin,i;ie foot
of marsh land (in lie found aiioiit its siioies. Its
depth .iverages alioiit three hundred teel. and its
waters are as (lear as (ry>,tal. .\ >light liree/e and
rippling waves ga\e variety to the upward trip, and
It was noticed that the siirfa( .' of the water was cov-
ered with multitudes of dead fish ahout the si/e of a
per. h, hut evidently a sjie. ies of ^,had. The reason
ol this mortality is not known, Imt oc c asions much
( (inimeiU and is undergoing investigation by com-
|ietent pisc.itfirial authorities.
On the trii) u|) the lake, Mr. John S. Dye, of Ce-
neva, took sjiei iai pains to special jtains to make
himsel! useful in entertaining the comiiany. His
th.ioiigh knowledge of the (ountry rendered his

Oiwego one hundred anil ten miles in eight hours.
.\s we entered the harbor of Oswego, the tug Moiv-
/ r, the fastest tug on the lake, came out for a race.
'I'he Annie Lanric was unprepared, and vet, she
easily beat her adversary.
At Oswego, large crowds congregated on the
bridges and the docks to welcome the return of the
Annie Luinie. Flags were disjdayed on the shi]jping,
and the utmost excitement jjrevailed. The Annie
Laurie, with the Union Jack at her bow and the
Stars and Strijjcs at the stern, attracted more atten-
tion than any craft that ever entered the port at
Oswego. Sunday night the party reached Fhctnix,
where they became the guests of Mr. C.eorge O.
iJreed and other gentlemen from the village. At
seven o'clock Monday morning, the Annie Laurie
started for home, reaching the packet dock at a few
minutes before twelve o'clock. From Salina to
Syracuse the little steamer attracted crowds of peo-
ple, who welcomed the safe return of the party with
repeat-d cheers. The band played "Sweet Home,"
and the steamer touched the dock, with the British
and American flags floating from her mast head.
As the party disembarked they were met by rela-
tives and friends, and warm congratulations were

left the do<k, and shortly after she turned Into tfie
Oswego canal, passing through Salina and I.iver-
|)ool, and into the deep waters of Seneca River, at
"Mud Lock." It was here that the little cralt
displayed her jiowers of speed, as she was not in-
terrupted by a shallow channel, or other obstacles,
and as the vessel glided along at the rate of twebc
to fourteen knots per hour, the si ene became e\-*
citing and exhilerating to all on board.
On arriving near the residence of Luke (!ollins,
f^s(}., a former Syracusan, the shrill scream of the
steamer's whistle produced the a])pearanteof a num-
ber of white hankerchiefs flying from the doors and
windows, which were (pii< kly answered by as many
from the deck of the Aiiitie /.auric.

and is interesting to those who li ive studied the his-

their deity, who jjresides over fisheries and hunting
grounds, who came down from above in his white
canoe and selected a couple of warriors from among
the On(mdagas to proceed with him up the river
from Oswego, and remove all ol)slru( lions, so that
canoes might pass in safety. .\s the tradition goes,
they proceeded on until reaching " Three River

'^^^ nu)orin|.;s at tiie packet boat dofk, and
r swun;4 aroMid into tiii. clear and sliailow
waters of the " ra;;ing canal," and started on her
long anticipated cruise to the " great nietroi)olis."
Perhaps, however, it would be proper lor me to
preface these remarks with the statement, that for
some time, our liberal hearted citizen, " ( 'ommodore'
|()HN riRKKNWAV had cont-'Uiplated visiting New
York with a few favored friends, in his new steam
yacht, christened as above, for the purjjose of a
pleasure trip, with a little touch of l)iisincss in-
cUuled. The 20tii day of October had been named
,i.s the time — wind and weather permitting — for the
partv to leave, the Annie Laurie in the meanwliile
starting two or three days in advance in ordei to
re a.'

her, (they going by the way of the N. Y. Central &:
Hudson River R. R.,) and proceeding down the
Hudson with its cargo of choice spirits.
Starting from the packet boat docic on Saturday,
the ifth inst., at about 12:30. i' m., in the presence of
a goodly crowd of spectators, and with the best wishes
of all for tlie success of the trip, :ihe reached the uji-
per level, clearing the last lock -it 1:30 i>. m.
Overcoming the detention caused by a crowd of
boats and the still greater annoyance of a triplicate of
locks, tlie boat, on reaching the "long level," sped
like a free bird. At 1:50 we reached "Thompson's,"
where, taking in a supply of the famous" Cold Spring
water," we proceeded on our trip, reaching Kirkville
at 3:30, Chiltenango 4:20, (where we landed our lady
Ijiassengers,) reaching New London (what a misno-
mer!) at 8:30, where we tied up for the night, the
crew pr()<eeding to their quarters on the boat and I
10 mine, at a country tavern hard by.
At 5:30 A. M. (Sunday) the whistle of the Laurie
sounded, <■ ailing all hands to duty, and giving no-
tice of iier departure.
Rain, in considerable iiuantity, had fallen during
the night, and the prospect over head bid fair for a
dismal day.
At 6:30 A. M, we reached Rome, although not
the seven-hilled mistress of the world, yet the Capi-
tou'line city(.')of this region, with its "pontoon
marshes" and other surroundiugs of interest to the
reader of ancient history ! Paying the collector of
this port the customary official visit, to have our

Thus far our tri]-* has partaken somewhat of tlie
cliaractc'- of th^- scenery tlirough which wc \\\\\v
passed — monotonous. ( )iir sjieed has averaged about
five miles per hour, the machinery and everything
on hotrd working charmingh-.

Having called upon the collector at this ^Vmv
and our papers being inspected and found "all right
and according to law," and the official autogra|)h
being affixed thereto, we were allowed "to depart in
l)eace," as our waywnrd sisters were advised to do
previous to the rebellion, and resume our journey.
.\fter leaving Utica the country changes for the bet-
ter. Leaving behind us the low, level lands, we
reach a more rolling and better agricultural region.
The rain has ceased and the clouds are gradually
breaking away, and all betokens a change for tiie
better. Our next sto|i will i)e Little Fall.s, known
as long the residence of that railroad wiseacre, Maj.
Priest, and as a town built upon a "solid" founda-
ncii. This place was once known as a great "dia-
nnn^l market," and many of your readers will un-
doubtedly recollect the army of "small boys" who
formerly thronged the cars with hands full of (puirtz
crystals, crying "Diamonds, Diamonds, sir; only
five cents." Here we are again to have our passes
"viewed" by that public functionary, the collector,
and then start again for our destination.

The images appearing here are the best quality
possible considering the condition and legibility
of the original copy and in keeping with the
filming contract specifications.
Original copies In printed paper covers are filmed
beginning with the front cover and ending on
the last page with a printed or illustrated Impres-
sion, or the back cover when appropriate. All
other original copies are filmed beginning on the
first page with a printed or illustrated impres-
sion, and ending on the last page with a printed
or illustrated impression.
The last recorded frame on each microfiche
shall contain the symbol — ► (meaning "CON-
TINUED"), or the symbol V (meaning "END' ).
whichever applies.
Maps, plates, charts, etc., may be filmed at
different reduction ratios. Those too large to be
entirely included in one exposure are filmed
beginning in the upper left hand corner, left to
right and top to bottom, as many frames as
required. The following diagrams illustrate the
method:
