PLEASANT FOR The CHILDREN,
A Novel Feature for the Little Folks
of Grace Church.


There have been queer doings at Grace
Church ever since Rev. Floyd w. Tom
kins, Jr., became rector, and yesterday
capped the climax, so to speak. For
the first time . in the recol-
lection OF man and the history
of the church the Sunday School had a
picnic yesterday and held it at Rocky
Point, one OF the best resorts down river.
The. children and others met at the
church in the morning and
Mr.. Tompkins talked to them in
his friendly way, explaining how to be
happy by making somebody else happy,
and then he prayed for protection for the
children and n successful outing.
Everybody returned home safely,
and said II was the happiest kind of a
picnic. Even the rectors enjoyed it,
although they are a little lame today.
After dinner Rev. Mr.. Tomkins, Rev.
Mr.. Stevens and Rev. Mr..
Rogers went out to show
the boys how to run. They had foot
race and Mr.. Rogers won, with Mr.. Tom
kins a second. Then they tried jumping
over a rope, Mr.. Rogers, who seems to
lead in athletics, clearing it at five feet or
tLereabout.
When everybody got Strengthened out
again, for these antics caused consioera-
BILE merriment, there was great commo-
tion, Rev. MIR. Tomkins, followed by
Rev. Mr.. Stevens, being caught
in the act of hopping on one foot, holding
the other in hand, just to show the boys
how to hop.
Is there any wonder that MIR. Tomk ns
and his able assistants are popular?

CRESCENT PARK PINAFORE,
A Fine Performance of the Famous
Opera by "a Strong Company.

You remember the remarkable perform
ance of "Pinafore" at the Park Garden
years ago? Well, it is just as finely and
completely done now in the lagoon thea
ter at Crescent Park. And ii is about as
easy of access as in former days, because
the improvement in street railway travel
brings Crescent Park as near to the city
as the old park was when the horse car
bells jingled the whole journey out. This
fact was realized by a considerable num-
ber of citizens, for regardless OF an un-
usually chilly night a large audience oc-
cupied the comfortable open air audito-
rum erected on the banks sloping to the
cove, where manager Boyden had
erected the fullrigged ship-stage upon
which Gilbert and Sullivan's ever well
come opera was presented in first-class
shape for the first time last evening. Ii
was surprising performance by the fol-
lowing cast, including many veteran pro-
fessional opera artists:
Sir Joseph Porter, X. G. b.. John Saunders
captain Corcoran. ......... Richard III. Geiger
halph hackstraw. ........... Philip Tones
Dlck Deadeye. ye.....................S Stanley Felch
blil boatsWaln. ........ 600. e.. Gus kammerlee
Josephine. .................M Miss Helen Ormsbeo
Hebo ........................ Emma f. Glynn
Little buttorcup. 30. 80. Miss Helen q. Judson
Midshipmato. ..............Miss Jennie Stanley
Mr. Saunders is new conner, and he
"got there with the slim-legged high
cockalorum of the British navy. Mr.
Geiger has powerful and musical BARI
tone voice and figure just suited to the
part of the captain Mr.. Tones was last
seen in this vicinity as tenor of the "Rob-
In Hoo&' company. Me is singer Of
experience and he rensered the difficult
part of Rackstraw creditably. Mr.. Felch
was, of course, very much at home as
Deadeye, and his comedy business was
much enjoyed. Mr.. Kammerlee will be
better remembered as the singer of the
fire solo in Denman Thompson's cold
Homestead" company His work last
evening was especially enjoyable Miss
Ormsbeee has delightful voice, uses il
with skill and intelligence and interprets
the part of Josephine charmingly. Miss
Judson sang Little Buttercup vigorously,
muscally and convincingly. She
acted the part well, too. Miss Glynn
and Miss Stanley were satisfactory.
The large chorus has been under the di-
rection of Mr.. Alex. McCabe OF this city,
and his CAREFUL preparation was made
manifest by the concerted work.
This evening the big company will feel
just like a happy family, and under the
experienced and skillful direction of Mr..
ID. W. Reeves those who sit i'm the amphi-
theatcr this evening will have n delight
ful time.
The Fourth OF July will have a matinee
and I'm the evening "Pinaforen will be
surrounded by blaze OF fireworks, man
ager Boyden's special tribute to Inde-
pendence Day.

FIRE IN LYNN.
The Sycamore Hotel Block
All Afame.

LYNN, Mass, July 3.-Fire is now burn
ing tiercely in the Sycamore Hotel block
here. 1t started in L. A. Mayo's hardware
store, in which large quantity of powder
and fireworks were stored. Several ex-
plosions have occurred, but no one has
been injured.
The fire in the Sycamore Hotel Block is
now under control The loss is estimated
at sl50, 900; insurance about 800, 900.
1t is believed that James III. Winslow
an employe OF l.. A. May, perished in the
fire. Mr.. Winslow, who was 6S years of
age, was in feeble health.
He was employed in the
rear of the store, and as he has not been
seen since the fire started, and no trace
OF him can be found, it is feared that he
was unable to make his way out of the
building.

A Great Celebration of the
Fourth Of July.
There is to Be a Big Parade, Concerts
and Fireworks at CitY's Expense.
Attractions offered Down River-Ball
Games at Adelaide Park.

During the last month or SO the Board
OF Aldermen has granted more licenses to
keep and sell fireworks then during any
other season. However this particular
piece OF news Is not TO be one of those
dry Aldermanic reports relative to the APP
pointment of auctioneers and offal cart
drivers; II is merely to emphasize the fact
that tomorrow is the Fourth OF July, and
that tip about fireworks Licenses is sig
nificant OF the fact that the celebration
in this town is going to be great.
OF course the blowout, not the blow
up, OF the town as a whole will excel
everything else, and the public observ-
ance, as authorized by the city govern
ment, of the anniversary OF American
independence will be a most creditabie
affair. And in proof OF that assertion the
following official program Of the city's
celebration is here given:
4ls a. m. (sunrise.) The several city flags
will be set. A salute of q guns will be fired
by Battery A, X. ]. NJ.
$50 a m. The several bells OF the city will
