complimentary outing and reception ten
dered by the Rev. Father John A. Shep-

Michaelss Players ana the church debt
collectors last evening. Brilliantly illumi-
mated cars conveyed the party to Lincoln
Park. near Paterson. A military band dis
coursed music from the front ear. Father
Sheppard occupied a rear seat in the sec
end car. AS the party passed through
Passaic he was recognized and cfleered
by many Of his former parishioners. The
annual lawn party of ST. Nicholas Church
in that city was in full blast as the cars
bearing Father sheppard's party passed.
Such a lawn party opened the eyes of the
Jersey City folk, even If they caught
only a glimpse of it. The excursionists
also attracted considerable attention as
they passed through Paterson. Even
there ST. Michaei's rector was recognized,
and cutie q number OF people along the
sidewalks waved their handkerchief and
otherwise sought TO attract his personal
attention. The party arrived at Henry
Baum's beautiful grove. Lincoln Park,
about nine o'clock. After several enjoy
able dances in the pretty octagonal
shaped pavilion the entire party marched
to a spacious dining room where supper.
served by Proprietor Baum. was thor
| oughly enjoyed. Many bright young peo-
rle were seated around the tables.
After the supper dancing was INDUCED
in. Nj. Joseph p. Glossy. who has 50
successfully conducted the recent plays
produced by the Players, had general SUI
| peryision of the entire affair. Mr.. P. H.
| Murphy was floor director. assisted by

man IN s~aCrawford's Claim" and many
other rples in which he has shown his
versatility. Mr.. OWNefll is now IN Porto
Rice. a member Of Company c. Seventh
Regiment. United States Artillery. Some
of the members of the party expressed
regret at having to pass through such a
pretty section Of the Jun at night.
Father Sheppard wanted the party to en-
joy a day trip. but this was deemed I'M
practicable. The idea Of holding q gem
eral parish picnic. at Lincoln Park, before
the summer is ended was mooted, and the
suggestion met with favor from all quar-
tiers. ii Is not unlikely tina such an event
win occur, Father Sheppard heartily
favors III
