ST. JOHNS GUILD.

The Work Of Nine Days on the Floating
HospitaI-Relief as 1t Is Carried into
the Homes of the Poor.
After nine days. work among the sick children
on board the Floating Hospital the volunteers Of
ST. Johns Guild are forced to take breathing
spell. It will be OF brief duration, however, as MIR.
Wiswall, the energetic master. is determined to
resume the excursions on Tuesday, the earliest
possible moment at which they can be continued.
Necessity governs almost every impulse and act
OF the poor, yet it may not be generally known
that on Saturdays tney can rarely leave home.
The lab0rer Of the family receives MS or her
weekly earnings on that day. and not only are all
the little debts contracted during the week to be
paid, that their credit-the buoy that keeps them
for the morrow. 1t Is difflcut, too for the Guild
to have the food prepared tor voyage on Monday
morning, and so Tuesday becomes the first avail-
other dificulty stands In the way OF constant
effort, and that is the lack Of sufficient FUNDS.
Notwithstanding the TACT that st. johns Guild, so
late as last winter, was the means through which
the generous everywhere led $4,000 OF their un-
the great volunteer charity Of New York.
1t will not. then appear strange that com.
parattvey Jew persons know the extent VI
the work which the Guild is at present performing
among the SICK poor. The Floating Hospital Is bat
caring ior the most miserable Of all the destitute.
The city Is divided into medical districts each in
the care Of competent physician, who has In
structtOns to attend all cases not coming within
the limits of dspensary hours and practice, and to
give each patient the same attention ana care he
would show TO the child OF a millionaire Medi-
cines are furnished or prescriptions paid for by
the Guild. Every physician is supplied with the
printed relief tcxet-avalable for Iood on presen-
tation at the Guild Office In Varlck street-such rs
have been already copied in the HERALD. Thus
the SICK IN all quarters of the city can. on appca
ton, obtain medical attendance, medicines and
suitable food without the payment OF single cent.
The Floating Hospital, then, Is merely phase OF
the work. and the following will show what has
been done In this direction There have been
7,44i persons on board the barge during the nine
excursions. These have consumed 2.670 pounds Of
beel, 1850 quarts Of milk. 2,0o ioaves OF bread,
barrels OF sugar, 100 pounds Of boiled rice, 254
pounds OF butter, barrels OF soda crackers bar
rel Of pilot bread and 1870 pounds OF tea. Five
thousand pounds Of ice were furnished Tree, prin.
cipally by the Washington Ice Company. The

THE THIRTEENTH WARD EXCURSION.
Eighteen Hundred Poor Children on the

and What Were the Results.

Eighteen Hundred Poor Children on the
East River-How the Day Was spent
and What Were the Results.
The eleventh excursion for the benent OF the
poor children OF the Thirteenth ward, which took
place yesterday, under the management of Mr.
George F. Williams, was one Of the most success
full OF the season. As manv as 1850 children lett
the environs OF the Thirteenth ward during the
ratny hours OF the morning, and soon occupied
places on the WAITS Boatn and barge Republic at
The loot OF 3roOme street, on the East River.
COone, Williams was, as usual, the chief lnau9u-
rator OF the excursion, and Mr.. John X Gr0O acted
as manager OF the police arrangements
The boat started from It's dock about nine
O'Clock. The number Of males on board was i,l61,
and the number oi females 5s3. The whole num-
Der OF excursionists remained SIX hours at Oren-
tai Grove on the East River. The enoyments
were principally swimming aud swinging on She
ropes, with short entertainment OF the ''Punch
and judy specimen by Professor Dorsay. During
bathing the greatest and most precise care was
taken to make all equally satisfied. Everything
passed OF in most satisfactory manner aud the
boys frequently cheered as If delighted with the
event.
The expenses of the excursion amounted TO only
<73g-thar Is about forty seven cents TO each lnd-
yidual This has been the most successful oi Mr..
Williams excursions, with the exception OF tnat
OF the Tenth ward, and all seemed TO be due to the
care and management OF those 10 whom the whole
AFFAIR was n,rusted as well as TO the pnllanthropic
care OF the manager.
