THE HoBoKES CONTINGENT
In walking about the barges / encoun-
tered Recorder Frank McDonough. He
was with Pop Giles. and both were with
the girls burying ice cream and soda.
The judge was having a pleasant time.
Alderman and City Collector O'Neill was
seen frequently on the dance floor, but he
was unusually quiet during the day.
Paddy Malone aud Director Bruggeman
attempted to compare the cities
of H0boken and Jersey City, but
failed.f Superintendent John II.
umpired the debate and decided that both
lost. The poet, John p. Daly, carried
about a roll OF manuscript. but it was not
read. II may be because Detectives Clark,
Pearson and Kilcauley were on the excur-
sion to ouell al attempts. to break the
peace James 4. Norton. clerk OF the Po-
lice Court, enjoyed htmselffn quiet nook
where he could view the scenery down
the bay and through the Kills. Fred
Baden and Justice Martinez sought Dan
Tferney's assistants occasionally; aud
John Boyd attempted to entertain four
young ladies all the afternoon. Principal
w. 5. Sweeney of the High School, and
his assistant, M. II. Paddock, apparently
forgot their pedagogical dignity and
talked pleasantly 10 every one. No one
was surprised to see Pat Buckley In a
quiet nook on the barge. Peter Daily was
on board. too. and SO was Fred kissam
and so were a score OF eolored people who
had delightful time.
THE SAIL.
The barges were slowly towed down the
bay into the Kills. When passing John
McDonald's road house on the banks of
the Kills at Bergen Point, the excursion
was saluted By Mcdonald In royal way,
after which he rowed out to the barges
and became one Of the pleasure seekers.
TO enable the barges to pass through the
draw bridge at Elizapethport they were
forced to separate, two going through
first and the other three following
During the sail down the Bay, the
mothers aud children were given all the
ham and corn beef sandwiches. milk,
tea, coffee and ohowder they wanted.
Everyone was Hospitality treated and the
good things provided by the Association
helped to raise the spirits of the merry
makers in spite of the somewhat dismal
state of the atmosphere.
THE LANDING SPOILED.
When the excursion reached Sylvan
Beach Grove it was raining and but few
persons cared to go ashore. The barges
left the grove at four o'clock and without
any miship, landed at the Morris street
dock at fifteen minutes after seven.
There has never been more successful
excursion than the one of yesterday. The
rain even did not materially mar the
pleasure of the crowd that went. There
was most perfect order, and during the
entire day did not hear single angry
word spoken. Mr.. Davis and the A ssoci-
alton that got up this excursion for the
benefit of the mothers and children of
Jersey City have right to feel proud
over the result of the venture.
