More to Coney Island.

Long Island AutOm0Duo CluD TnkeS SOme
Moro to Coney leland.
Coney Island was invaded by another
lot Of youngsters yesterday when the Long
Island Automobile Club held it's annual
outing for tho orphans Of Brooklyn and
Queens. Tho Brooklyn motoring organi-
zation did not caro- for as many children as
had been taken to Luna Park the day before
from New York, but they did take all the
children who were able to 60 from the
different institutions Of Brooklyn and
Queens.
In ono respect the affair Of the Long
Island club lacked the picturesqueness
OF the New York celebration in that there
was no long line OF cars parading through
tho principal streets Of the city. In many
ways, however, this was an advantage. as
II did away with the inevitable dust nuisance
that must be endured whenever long line
of cars are driven over a maoadam road
way. Instead Of gathering their loads OF
Joyous children and assembling at some
central point for the drive to Coney Island
the cars in Yesterdays affeir were sent to
the institutions to which they had been
assigned and went directly to Coney Island
fter the children had been loaded In to
the full capacity OF the tonneaus.
About 300 youngsters were taken to
Coney Island in 100 cars. and all had arrived
at noon except the delegation Of seventy
Ave girls and boys from the House OF
It. Giles the Cripple at West Hampstead. in

make arrangements that all Of the children
would be well provided with food without
violating any Of the rules Of their different
religious beliefs, their repasts being topped
Of with all the ice cream the youngsters
could eat, with souvenir pins for each
child.
After their luncheon the youngsters were
lined up and marched across Surf avenue
into Luna Park. whore Fred Thompson had
placed all the shows at their disposal; They
roamed through that garden OF delightful
wonders as freely as they wished until

Of Luna Park to take their youthful passen-
