Tots to Washington
Park
GOOD TIME IS PLANNED

Six hundred children. little and big
took part in the Salvation Armys
freeouting today to Washington Park
on the Delaware river.
Early this morning the youngsters
were astir in anticipation of the oc-
casion and by z o'clock a throng had
gathered at the headquarters of the
Army I'm Shipley street below Fourth.
Promptly at Z o'clock the excursion
lists, headed by Ensign and Mrs. Wise
man of the Salvation Army, formed in
line and marched to the Fourth street
wharf where the steamer City Of Ches-
ter was waiting to convey them TO the
park Arriving at the wharf officers
of the army marshalled the little ones
aboard the boat and a more joyous
gathering could not be found any
where. AS the steamer pulled out from
the wharf a cheer went up from the
youngsters followed by the waiving Of
handkerchiefs.
Big Time at Park.
The outing is an annual event given
by the Salvation Army for the chill
dren of the poorer class of the city and
is a part of the worthy work done by
1T. Having no available surplus on
hand with which TO carry out the plan,
members Of the army have been sta
toned on street corners through the
city the past few days soliciting funds
to make the event a success.
In all, the sight of these children
of the poor going on an excursion Of
this kind is a pathetic one. Clad in
their best apparel, their faces beaming
with anticipation of what is to come
during the day they hurry along to
the boat that is to bear them TO the
spot where for one day. at least, they
may give themselves up to unaduler-
ated enjoyment. Tired mothers, who
have not had a breath of pure air dur
ing the heated spell, carry their little
ones in their arms while the elder
children skip merrily along hand in
hand. each anxious TO be the first
aboard
Upon arriving on the steamer each
child was given a coupon ticket good
for a ride each way. two plates Of ice
cream at the park, a ride on the big
wheel and lunch box at the Park.
While on the grounds the children will
be constantly under the eye Of the SAL
walton Army and everything is being
done TO protect them from getting into
mischief as well as to prevent them
from fallink into danger
The steamer will leave the Park on
the return trip at 4.SO o'clock this after
noon.
