A LARGE PARTY OF FRESH AIR FUND
CHILDREN GOES TO MASSACHUSETTS.

One little las5ie who the doctors say, cannot live
years. because of heart trouble; several hard
working mothers, with large families to support;
father dying from cancer and nearly $50 children
among the persons benefited by The Tribune
Fresh Air Fund yesterday. The little lass with
the overworked heart was one of the AZ chidren
who We're sent into the country. The hard work
ing mothers. who except for occasional day
excursion, cannot leave their toll long enough to
get a breath of fresh air for themselves and the
dying father had the joy of knowing that some OF
their little ones had escaped for short time from
the cramped tenement house home and the meaSre
supply of hard earned bread. The children went
into the country for two weeks outing. There
is no necessity for explaining how the children
will be benefited. Any one could guess that. Two
weeks of fresh air. good, nourishing food and
breezes blowing through the leaves would peneht
any one let alone tenement house child
The children who went away yesterday went In
two parties. One of these went to Pittsfeid, Mass,
and the other to Claverack, N. Y. Each was the
second party to go to the place this season.
The Pittsfeld party big one. There were
113 children in it, and it filed two cars of the
9OS o'clock train on the Harlem Railroad yester-
day. They are to be entertained at farmhouses on
the hilIsdes outside of Pittsfeld by the people OF
that place. Berkshire County is famed for its in
spring scenery and invigorating air Hawthorne,
Holmes and Bryant found refreshment and inspira-
tion there That which helps men to create things
having something of the immortal in them is none
too good for a child with its possibilities of I'm
mortality. So The Tribune Fresh Air Fund is glad
that so many children go this summer TO the
old New-England county and drink to the full OF
its riches.

WHAT TO READ TOMORROW.

Despite the assurance of Owen Meredith that
1--WE can live without books" men and women
of the times cannot, or at any rate will not live
without their favorite Sunday paper. Nor are
they to be criticised or wondered at therefor
when its attractions reviewed. There are
those who say to a friend, There is such or
such an article in the paper. You ought to
read it." But here is paper every page and
column and line of which is to be heartily COM
mended for reading, and for careful reading.

"larrikinism" in Australia, the opening of new

LIVE BIRDS as TARGETS.

In the last few days series of contests which
furnished satisfactory tests of skill among the
wing shots has been carried on within IA few
miles of our City Hail. upon the broad plains of
Long Island. Honors aud prizes of distinction
were competed for Not many months ago the
principal journals were in accord in denouncing
the brutality OF killing thousands of pretty.
graceful pigeons in tournaments and matches
within the borders of this State. The descrip-
tions of the circumstances and details of the
butchery of these helpless creatures, written by
fair minded and unbiased witnesses, made it
clear that the trapshooting of blue rocks was
so unmanly and possessed so little of the saving
grace of true sport that it was the duty of the
State Legislature to pass law which would put
n stop TO such barbarity In any part Of this
commonwealth. The whole subject dis
cussed fairly and intelligentIy. No apologies or
excuses of any weight for the brutal slaughter
of gentle doves were brought to public notice,
and it was made evident that public opinion
was earnestly opposed to the killing of live
birds over the traps.
II was shown conclusiyely that skill In marks
manshp could be displayed clearly in shoot
ing at clay pigeons as at the iuttering birds.
But the advocates of old abuses exerted strong
influence at Albany. The agitation was by no
means Intellectual, Notwithstanding the resist
ance Of the inveterate defenders of evil But
the contests on Long Island this week. in which
the targets were not live birds, have indicated
that the forces Of the npoogists for the shoot
ing of doves have been weakened Notable
scores have been rolled up by champion wing
shots without the reproach OF cruelty or indif-
ference to enlightened public sentiment Tour
naments In trapshooting at live birds should be
suppressed everywhere. Bear batting, cock
fighting, dog fights and other savage contests
under the ban in every quarter OF the
United States Every candidate for the leeis-
lature in any State in which the slaughter of
pigeons the traps has been tolerated here
