Excursion of the Eckford Social Club






<PRE>
Brooklyn Union-Argus
Tuesday 22 July 1879

The steamer General Sedgwick and two barges carried an exceedingly large 
party, composed of the members of the Eckford Social Club and their 
friends, to Oriental Grove yesterday, the occasion of the annual 
excursion of the club.
  
The sail up the East River and on the Sound was much enjoyed.  

The excursionists landed at the grove at half-past one o'clock 
and spent three hours there very pleasantly.  The city was reached on the 
return at eight o'clock, on a trip at which not the slightest event to 
cause even an unpleasant feeling occurred.

the following committees:
