Hebrew Progressive Association

NEAT SUM REALIZED

The Hebrew Progressive Association
held their first grand annual picnic
and dance at Loeser's Excelsior Grove
last night. Although it had rained
nearly all day and in the evening a
heavy fog hung over the town, the
crowd did not let this bother them.
Dancing was the main feature of the
evening and this was continued until
early this morning.
The Hebrew Progressive Association
is composed of popular young men
about town and the picnic held by
them last night was for the benefit OF
the Perth Amboy City Hospital and
the Kishineff Relief fund. They will
probably realize a very neat sum
when the amounts are counted.
