THE CALLS OUTING
Ready for the Newsboys'
Picnic.
MERRY-r1AKING AT Ell CAr1PO
What the Boys May Expect-A Pie
Race, Games and a Most
Excellent Lunch.

There are no more practical merchants
in this city than the newsboys. A picnic
is very delightful and rare treat. but it
cannot be allowed to interfere with the
sale OF papers.
The hours for going and returning must
be arranged 10 fit in with business, and 80
must the meeting for the distribution of
invitations.
On that account every newsboy In San
Francisco is asked to be at the business
Office of THE CALL. 525 Montgomery
street, on Sunday afternoon next, at
o'clock.
Printed invitations will there be given
out. Those Invitations will be the delight
of the boys who get them and the envy OF
their friends.
Why?
Well, in the first place. they will be very
pretty TO look ut. In the second. they will
entitle each holder TO lunch; not an or
binary everyday sort of meal. but one with
all the good things that the boys asked for
themselves, and strawberries and cream in
addition.
But that is not all. Every boy who gets
an invitation will be given a steamer ticket
emitting him to free Tide to 81 campo
and back. He will listen to some of the
band music and will have the right TO
enter for the games and perhaps win a
prize. There are so many prizes that his
chance of winning something will be much
better than that of man who takes a
lottery ticket. When some of those boys
return they will be so fine that their best
customers will scercely know them. All
the delicate shades of the rainbow will be
round their necks in the shape of ties.
Two happy little fellows-no one knows
who they are yet-will be fortunate ii
they get home without being robbed of
their lewelry. Yes. real jewery:
handed two neat little boxes. Inside each
box was a jeweled pin in the shane of a
spider with eight gold legs.
'This is a beautiful present. Whoever
can have sent lt?" said the sporting editor.
II looked at the outside of the box. 1t
was labeled IS. Sonnenfeld. precious, stone
merchant, 331 Kearny street." and in a
corner was written. CALLS outing"
There was letter. TOO, from Mr.. Sonnen-
field, which read Enclosed find two scarf
pins at your DISPOSAL for boys outing.
have always been friend TO them"
When the newsboys see those pins. they
will say that MIR. Sonnenfeld has q very
good way of showing his friendship.
There is another piece of news that
ought to fill the boys with glee. A little
dark-eyed fellow, who sells papers at the
ferries, asked the other day for pie race,
as one of the amusements of the picnic.
Not only is that pie race going to become
an actual fact. but every one can tell what
good pies are to form the material for the
race, when they hear that Swain. of
SWANS restaurant on Suffer street, has
promised to donate some of them. When
pies are extra good. people can eat twice
as many. so in all probability the race at
The CALLS outing will beat all previous
records.
1t is pity that Friday. the 9th of June
next, cannot have five or six extra hours
let into the day. The committee is fairly
puzzled to know how it is to crowd all the
trips across the bay and the games, the
eating and drinking into the hours be-
tween the sale OF the morning and the
evening papers. But we mean to do it,"
they say, and when they undertake a
thing 1t is as good as done.
Several ladies are coming to the picnic
but 1t is not expected on that account that
any of the 'newsies' will make dudes of
themselves. They will not have time for
it. on that particular morning especially.
Besides, it is a settled principle with news
boys that personal vanity is n OF trait to
be encouraged.
Perseverance and loud voice are of
much more Importance than fine clothes in
the profession of selling papers The
probability Is that even if one or two boys
put on extra style to grace the picnic
they will not make large enough show
ing to put the others out of countenance.
They are just going out to have a good
time. and it would take all the starch out
of them to be expected to dress up.
Some other donations promised yester-
day were:
Dairymen's Union. 113 to 119 Davis
stIeet-A large ham.
G. Z. Whitney & Co.. 100 to 1913 Davis
street--A cheese.
SWANS bakery. Suffer street-Pies for
pie race; fifty loaves for sandwiches.
A friend to the newsboys-Ten rolls of
butter.
Newman & Levison-Twelve linen hand
kerchiefs
