ing Call Chapel.
Typos, With Their Friends and Little Folks,
Spend Most Enjoyable Day at
Ell Campo.

When the steamer James NJ. Donahue
pulled out of the slip at the foot of Clay
street yesterday morning she carried large
ana assorted cargo Of printers on pleasure
bent There were all sorts and conditions
of printers, from the gray-haired typo down
to the devil who rubs ink off the rollers
with himself. Just how many there were
was not known when the steamer sailed,
but Mike Lynch, the Ananias Of the print
ing business in these parts, said he expected
1902, but couple Of printers fell by the
wayside, leaving an even $4,000.
1t was the second annual outing Of THE
MORNING CALL chapel 1t was held at Ell
Campo, and quite eclipsed in every way the
excursion given last year The grounds
were chartered for the exclusive use of the
chapel and its friends, and the company
landed at that picturesque spot numbered
nearly 1000 The steamer was packed with
printers with their sweethearts, wives and
babies, and also with boxes, baskets, bags
and bales OF luncheon, not to mention a
huge truck-load OF LIQUID refreShment and
another loaded down with handsome and
useful presents for distribution among the
lucky tic&et-holders.
After a delightful run Of one hour the
picnickers landed at IL O'Clock. AS they
passed into the park each one was given
ticket which entitled the holder 70 a pres
emf, provided he or she held lucky num-
Der. AS there were but 80 prizes for
distribution among 700 adults, 1t is plain to
be seen that some drew blanks; but,
however, this did not detract from the
pleasures of the day. -Four of the prizes
were cases Of assorted wines. and as fast
as these were drawn wine parties were
nangurated. TO which everybody was in
vted, and in that way the presents went
completely round.

although halt was called for other features
on the programme. some continued TO eat
until time TO go home. Everybody eats at
pcnics whether hungry or not, and 1t was
a common sight TO see printers wandering
round at all hours with hard boiled egg and
other dainties clinging to their whiskers.
Cloths were spread IN shady hooks and on
grass platS, and while the elders ate, drank
aud were merry, the little folks, TO the num-
Der of two or three hundred, t0ddled about,
fell down, got up and enjoyed themselves IN
other ways known to the infantile mind.
The young people danced and had their
tintypeS taken singly and in groups, rOwed
on the BAY, swung, made themselves dizzy
ON the merry go-round and had a huge time
generally.
