Elk. members. For a half hour preceding
the time when the Charles Manchester
embarked. hordes of them were landed
at the wharf. As the steamer started on
her trip down the river the delighted
youngsters. waving brilliant tissue plumes
and exerting their vocal chords to their
capacity. formed a happy sight. The
steamer stopped at Alexandria, where the
orphans there were taken aboard.
Soon after arriving at Marshall Hall
lunch was served the hungry kiddies.
Food enough to supply a small army was
on hand, including gallons of ice cream.
cake, lemonade, and milk. II took the
refreshment committee, in charge Of E.
II. Neumeyer, jr.. the greater part of
Tuesday night to prepare the eatables.
Toys were distributed before the chill
dren left their homes and continued all
day. Before the boat started each guest
was given a paper plume and a raucous
horn. After dinner was served at the
grounds, baseball formed the chief
amusement of the boys, and house" was
the girls favorite pastime, for the former
we're provided with a complete baseball
outfit. consisting of a bail, bat, and gloves,
and the latter were given dolls. Before
the children had returned to Washing
ton a large supply of rubber balls, return
balls, "blow-outs." jump ropes, parasols,
and jack stones had been handed out.
Even though the Riddles were the main
attraction and enjoyed themselves to
their hearts content. there were others
who gained almost an equal amount Of
pleasure from the outing. The Elks. who
acted as fathers on the trip. seemed TO
derive peculiar enjoyment, mainly from
the fact that the youngsters were pleased
and happy. The majority of the Elks re-
manned after the little orphans had taken
the early boat home.
Much credit is due the members of the
executive committee. of which Hugh F.
Harvey was chairman. The other men,
bers of the committee were Charles S
Zurhorst, Thomas F. Kelliher. Z. J. MUIR
ply. and Samuel Richards
Orphans from the following homes were
taken on the trip: Washington City Asy-
