On the City Mission Fresh Air Fuud-A
Great success-H ghiy Enjoyed by the
Children and other-The Athletic Events.
One of the most pleasant of the many
"Fresh Air Excursions" given by the
City Missionary association occurred
yesterday. All arrangements were we'll
made, the day was perfect and the
steamer Margaret left her wharf at $3.50
a. m. with about 600 on board. The
excursion was specially for the chill
dren Of the City Mission sewing school,
numbering about 200, whose expenses
were provided for by Miss Hume, the
lady missionary, from the generous
contributions to the Fresh Air Fund"
by the United church on their last
"Children's Day" The rest of the
party were fathers, mothers, brothers
and sisters of the children, together
with many others known at the City
Mission headquarters as in need of just
such an outing. Some were aged peo-
pie, while many very little children In
baby carriages or in their mothers
arms. Here and there, also, in the
otherwise merry company, were seen
the faces of sick and tired people, who
hoped to gain a little added strength
for the struggle Of life.
Anyone who has already contributed
to the Fresh Air Fund" would have
felt we'll repaid to see the enjoyment
of both children and older people on
the breezy morning sail over the waters
Of the sound, at the pleasure grounds
at Pawson Park, and on the return
trip. And it is in order to add to this
enjoyment that additional funds are
desired.
After the basket lunches at the park
there were games and prizes for the
younger people, wading and bathing
along the shore, and boating also. The
swings in the groves were kept busy
and the pavilion was always well filled.

Hume and her assistants to the chill
dren, and to others by Mrs. Finken
