Excursion to Cold Spring Harbor on
the Grand Republic
Ono Chinese WomsH- and . Few
White Men Among the Guests.

Six hundred Chinese. who may or may
not be losing their inclination to follow
ways that are dark" under the soften
Ing influence Of Christianity. as taught
them by pretty American women In Sun
day schools. sailed away from JEWELS
Wharf, Brooklyn. at $50 o'clock this
morning. on the steamer Grand Republic,
bound for Cold Spring Harbor.
Besides the Ce.estials there were 800
white people on board. or these 75O were
women and the remainder men, who,
with few exceptions. wore pale blue neck
ties and looked henpecked.
The occasion for this rather curious
mingllng of nationalities was the annual
picnic which all the good, and some of
the bad. Chinese of New York and Brook
lyn give TO their pretty Sunday school
teachers and their friends.
Last year. owing to the dsnunoiation
which the teaching OF MonEolians by
young white girls received from the
press and pulpit, there was no picnic, but
the one to-day will. in point of num-
bers. more than make up for Johns dis
appointment at losing hts fun last year.
The New York contingent went on
board the Grand Republic from the foot
OF West Twsnty-second street about
$50 O'Clock. but 1t was at Jewelrs
wharf. Brooklyn. that John was to be
seen In all his glory.
The pavements of lower Fulton street
began to re-scho to the pattering OF
Chinese sandals as early as o'clock.
and long before the steamer arrived the
wharf was oyerrun by pigtailed ex-
quisites. Their Sunday-school teahers
were not less punctual, and the edifyins
spectacle was presented Of hundred
or 30 plump and pretty girls chatting
with delightful disregard for the con-
ventionalities with the gigHling and
grinning Mongolians.
