Wednesday, and it is doubtful if a
happier lot of youngsters ever left the
city for a days outing than those who
boarded the three special cars at the
overhead bridge on upper Water street
at about S.45 in tire morning. for trip
To Island Park. There must have been
800 of the little ones, many of them
carrying American flags. while still
others were equipped with horns, and
that they were out for a good time was
demonstrated even before the cars
started. The run to CObbosseeeontce
was quickly made, and the day at the
park was full of enjoyment to the
children, and one that will long be re-
membered by them. The party was &C
companied by Rev. Fir. A. c. LaRiViere,
pastor of st. Augustine's, the curates,
FIR Forest and FIR. Joncas, and the
Sisters in charge of the school, and
