Fresh Air Excursion.

Another of the excursions given by the
New Haven city missions on their fresh air
fund was taken on the steamer Margaret on
Wednesday. 1t was mostly made up of
members of the "Mothers' meeting" held
weekly at the mission hall, corner of Court
and State streets, under the care of
Miss Sarah J. Hume, the lady missionary of
the woman's department of the city mis-
sions. Quite number took their smaller
children with them, and one little one who
had recently been given up by the doctor to
die was taken by the mother for the sea air,
and before the day was over was visibly bet
ter for 1t. Those who went on this excur-
sion were hard working people of New Ha-
ven, one, at least, of whom had not left
work for snch an enjoyment for twelve
years.
A landing was made at Pawson Park and
a good dinner for all placed upon the tables
by the committee of the weman's board
which included Miss Hume, Mrs. Sturgess,
Mrs. Dayton. Mrs. Shepard, Mrs. Bean, Miss
Hall, Miss Fogg, Mrs. Davis, Mrs. Aerrels
and others. Rev. Mr.. Mossman asked the
divine blessing, and after dinner cake and
ice cream in abundance were served, with
plenty of fresh milk throughout the day for

the Gospel Tabernacle Mission of New York
city, at which Mrs. s. NJ. Finken, formerly
the lady missionary of the New Haven work,
and others gave short and helpful talks. One
of the "mothers" was heard to say, as all
came back across the meadow to the wharf
for the homeward trip, "That was q good
meeting and its the 6rst one ever attended. u
1t Is quite certain from her pleased express

to all who helped to make 1t 30, including
the steamboat company, and the officers and
