and their weary mothers. The last out
Ing for this season was held yesterday
and 1t was a hummer. for there were
more babies in arms and wicker car
riages on board the good steamboat
Majestic than on any two of the nine
outings this season. THE EVENING
STAR took the babies out on Monday
the orphan asylums of Newark and the
county were also treated by this paper
to a free excursion, with free milk and
frankfurters and buns and rolls, to
Coney Island.
The excursion yesterday was the out
ing of the season. 1t was the biggest.
h best, the %jolliest of all. For more
than an hour before the good steam
boat Majestic started from Commercial
wharf streams of babies and their
mothers and aunties and venerable
granma poured down every street
verging on the wharf
AND when the boat was almost ready
to start Captain Jerry Baker said to
Mate Roberts that all the kids in New
ark were going on the outing and the
mate had better pull in the ang-plank.
But the mate wouldn't do it. and as
Mrs. Annie Mullaley, the Salvation
iassie, and Manager Hagan, of
the outing, backed him up, hi won out.
The United States inspector of ex-
cursion boats said he couldn't count
babies, for his wife said they had nine,
but he held they had only five. There
fore he couldn't tell how many babies
were on the boat, but he was confident
there were more than 1000 women. and
as each mother had from three to
seven children with her he would leave
TO the women the problem of figuring
out how many were on the outing.
what a glorious time the little ones
had on the sail down through the Pas

York bays to old Coney Island the
greatest of its kind on the face of the
earth.
Young men from Walters Union No.
100 began to serve milk and rolls and
buns to The children right after the
Majestic started down the river, and the
way the boys and girls went for the
milk and other things was a sight.
Three policemen from the truancy de-
partment Of Newark had all they could
do to keep the romping children back
and make them sit en- camp stools by
their mothers and aunties.
Drs. George Blackburne and w. G..
Douglas, of the Newark City Hospital.
and two nurses, Miss Kitty Hart

the same institution, were on the Ma

found the children all right, none re-
quiring more than a few drops of
spirits of ammonia. One woman became
i'll on the trip down. She said she was
sick for many weeks. One of the doc
tors went back from the island with
her, returning on the 1870 trip, and said
she was all right.

Mrs. Annie Mullaley, the Salvation
lassie, was on the boat and was a good
little mother to all the babies and tots,
for she carried milk in pitchers to
every deck and fed the babies herself,
especially on the home trip. Miss Annie

curables, was on board also with a
party of her children. with patients OF
the institution and children near the
