The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1891-07-06
A GREAT OUTING SUNDAY.
Where Some Noted People Spent
the Day-Sports on the Sward
and the Water.

Every one who could raise the money
went 10 the country yesterday, and the
streets looked lonely. Those who could
not afford Asbury Park or Saratoga tried
Glen Island or Long Branch, and early in
the morning and late at night the horse
cars and ferries and other conveyances
had busy time of it. Politicians in par
ticular put miles between themselves and
the City Hall. County Clerk Mclaughlin
spent the day at his beautiful cot
tage in Asbury Park, and several Of
his friends accepted an invitation TO
take dinner with him. President
Feeney, of the Board Of Police
Commissioners. attired in a natty light
suit and a linen duster, was last seen
spinning down Jersey avenue behind his
bay PAGER. Where he went no one knows.
Justice Davis remained in town in the
forenoon, but enjoyed the afternoon with
a party OF friends at McDonald's in Ber-
gen Point, as did also Clerk Connolly OF
the Board of Tax Commissioners. Presi-
dent Somers of the Board Of Street and
Water Commissioners was out OF town
spending the day at his summer residence
near Echo Lake. City Collector O'Neill,
who anticipated taking a drive through
the Oranges, failed to put in an appear
ance, evidently finding too much pleasure
at Asbury Park 70 forsake the place. Tax
Commissioner German and Clerk Boyd
of the Board Of Freeholders drove TO
Newark and INDUCED in few brushes on
the Orange road with their Newark
friends.
DESERTED ROOMS.
The Mclaughlin and the 0'Neill As
sociations' rooms were deserted nearly all
day, the boys having started of bright
and early for sails up the Hudson, some
to Glen Island. and others to famous
Coney Island. Commissioners Yee, Cook,
Dugan and Madden remained in the city
in the forenoon. They were not seen
abroad until late in the afternoon, when
they drove 20 Bergen Point, closely fol-
lowed by Commissioners Hunt. This
party made little neck clans disappear in
an amazingly snort time.
WOOD AND WATER.
The woods and shores of Greenyille
were as usual crowded. At Ulrich's boat
house. Newark Bay everything was e4-
cfteme MT. Hundreds of young people
donned bathing suits, and enjoyed them
selves running up and down the beach,
while others hired boats and rowed about
the Bay. The hills were lined with pic
mic parties and families who were out TO
enjoy the. balmy breezes. Sports of all
kinds were INDUCED in by everybody.
Cnilufeu Oh HI ages IOiltu duu tooottl
about in the grass.
Currie's Woods were the scene Of a
merry gathering Of young people who
took possession of the lawn and danced to
music furnished by an obliginR Young
chap with an harmonicon. The shores OF
New York Bay were crowded from early
morning by persons Of all ages and In all
stages of life, enjoying the breezes. while
others profited by the high tides and
patned.
The baseball cranks were out in full
force and took possession of the Central
Railway grounds. An occasional scuffie
over a bad decision enlivened the scene,
but very little harm was done anyone.
THE INDIANS.
The Indians. Messrs. Weed, Kramer
and Ellis, could not be seen, but 1t is sup
posed that they were of on a fishing ex-
cursion, as Jake Kramer came home with
an elegant skate. the largest one he has
caught in many months.
The day was a perfect one and was en-
joyed by everyone in ways too numerous
TO describe.
