The star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1908-1909, 1908-08-25
SUCH A HAPPY
CROWD AS THIS
YOU NEVER SAW
If EVENING STARS TOddlers
Ever Had a Better Time, They
Couldn't Remember It.
MAYBE THEIR MOTHERS
DIDN'T ENJOY 1T, TOO
Everybody from the Weather
Man to the Coney Barker Went
Limit to Help Outing Along.

Each deck of the big steamboat Ma
jestic was crowded to the limit on the
seventh free Coney Island outing of
THE EVENING STAR for mothers
and babies when Captain Jerre Baker,
the veteran riverman, gave the signal
to start from Commercial wharf yester-
day morning. AS on the previous out
ings the weather was delightful. an in
MIGRATING breeze sweeping through the
boat. Old Sol peeped once in u while.
30 that il was very pleasant on the
sand, as we'll as on the water, for the
1000 babies in arms and wicker car
riages, the toddling tots and their
mothers.
Business men who visited Commercial
wharf to see the party off because they
had heard so much about THE EVE
MING STAR free outings from Mrs.
Annie Mullalley, the Salvation Army
lassie who works among Newark's poor,
said that a look at the happy children
and the tired mothers convinced them
that the outings are the most beneficial
charity they know. Those who saw the
cutters return last evening said the good
done to the children and their mamas
was evidenced in their faces and ac-
tons, for the youngsters We're cheering
everything and everybody at the rails,
and mothers were happily singing airs
played by musicians from Newark
Musical Union No. 16, Will Blythe, di-
rector.
DIR. Gus Knauer, of the City Hospi-
tai, was on board with two trained
nurses, Miss Myrtle Adams and Miss
lear Galbraith. After the boat started
they inspected every baby and tot, and
, found very few in need of medicine
or nursing. Miss Anna Meier, a trained
nurse from the Home of 1ncurables,
was on board with a number of the
inmates Of that institution.
Walters Were Popular.
There was fun galore OIL the voyage
to the island, and when the walters
from Walters Union, No. 1Os, and Bar
tenders Union, No. 131, served milk,
hot f~rankfurters and rolls there was
an animated scene. The walters were
James Jackson, Joe Pullman, Joe kler-
nan. Chris Quincy, Charley Hilbert,
Oscar Pierce, Albert McDougall and
Fred Verth, and while the supply of
milk and frankfurters was circulating
they were the most popular persons on
the boat. Three policemen from the
truancy department kept the romping
boys from the rails of the boat and
from mischief on the island.
When the big party arrived at the
Sheepshead pier men and women So
tourning at the island fiuttered hand
kerchlefs and petted the babies. And
when men saw the red badges on which
was printed NEWARK EVENING
STARS Free Outing" and were told
that the paper gave the outings for
poor babies and mothers, they treated
the women at the island resorts and
gave the children the time of their life
on the iron horses, the human Whirl
and other amusements.
Proprietors OF, restaurants, moving
picture shows and other attractions on
the island were kind to every woman
who wore an EVENING STAR badge
and the children enjoyed the pictures,
! especially along the Bowery, where the
"barkers'' shouted as the NewarlSers
appeared in lunches on the busting
street. Here comes the babies of
THE NEWARK SlAR, tne greatest
newspaper in Jersey, an don't yer for
git it."
Many Took "a Dip.
On the sands of the beach women
rested and the children toddled on the
| edge of the white surf. Some of the
mothers took a dip in the salt water
and all of the larger boys and girls did
also. They went to the Majestic early
and some fished for lafayettes from the
long pier. One woman caught thirty
seven of the little fish.
Many babies slept on camp stools on
the home trip and some mothers had
a much needed and restful nap. But
coming up Newark bay and the Pas
sale River everybody was wide awake
and the tots and the larger boys and
girls cheered at everything they saw.
No happier crowd of cutters from New
ark ever was seen h a the one that
landed at Commercial wharf at Z
o'clock last evening. The New York
Pie Baking Company, the Hill Bread
Company. Mangels & Schmidt and Nc
Kenzie sent rolls, the Attorney, Seller
Brothers, Henry f. Backus and the
Fairfield Dairy contributed milk, and
c. NJ. Bailey e. Co. duplicated their
previous donations of frankfurters that
