Under the excellent
lead of H. E. Sargent, Esq., of the Michigan Central Railroad, a very pleasant
excursion party visited Hyde Park from this city, drawn mainly from the
Massachusetts delegation. They passed several hours in the spacious parlors and
verandahs of the Hyde Park House, extracted divers corks, and made the city in
good style about 6 o’clock. Gilmore’s splendid Boston Band, who are to give
their concert at Metropolitan Hall this evening, accompanied the party, and
discoursed notes on which here is surely no “discount.”
