About three hundred of the children connected with the sewing school, which meets every Saturday afternoon, 1 and their friends assembled at the Green at o'clock and under the direc- tion of General Superintendent Rev. William D. Mossman they embarked | on the cars and what a glorious ride they had. Arrived at the grove they l scattered in every direction and every nook, rock and inlet was inspected and | there were rides on the naphtha launches and rowboats and such lovely | swings under the trees, and happiness and contentment shone on every coun- l tenance. The children brought their boxes of lunch with them and ice cream and cake were served free to them by the ladies of the school, the cream be- | ing generously donated for the occasion | by several of our leading caterers and twenty-one gallons ill all were dis posed of during the day, for which the management of the City Missions rem der thanks to the donors.
