the bandmaster , has the training In charge
having prepared the program , and his bam

the concert will attract large numbers. Dur

There have been newsboys' bamiuets. boot
blacks' trolley iiartles , and Joint dancca
paluro In omaha within the | ust fivu yeaia ,
but the first nowsboys' picnic was that Riven
at I'rUo1 lake yesterday to celebrate Inde
pendence Day. It wna a unlquo occAslou. It
was participated In by 217 newsboy * and
attended by nearly ns many grown folk ot
Omaha. Swelldom was represented and
many bicycle parties oul for a day'n enjoy
ment on the wheels stopped to be amiiaed by
the representative * ol a lower rank of the
social world.
Llko nearly all events of this kind yester
day's pleasant emtliig Was the1 result of the
Individual efforts of "Alosy.ry properly
termed "tho king ot the newsboys. " He says
he got hid Idea of a Fourth of July picnic
for the newsboys ot Omaha ftom George \V.
Chllds. The great publisher of the tjuaker
city used to give an animal picnic to all the
newsboys of Philadelphia at Wooton , his
i suhutban home , every emmmer. "Mogy"

I moinlng nln. > . * t us soon as the dawn's early
light. Hut they were previous , for the atari
was not. made until well along toward lo
! o'clock. Then "Mogy" and 210 ether newa-
| boys clambered Intti tlir live big coaches
1 that we're waiting for their Juvenile tralllc.
i Pedculrlans an I ticket agents who wcro
1 woiking behind closed dooi-H In the'immediate
vlcitiily knew lhat something had happened ,
for when the vehicles started there was a
i oar as though Uncle. Sam's musketry and
camion had been discharged slmultaneoUoly.
It was merely a pack of cannon ilre-crackeis
' know that the newsboys
set oil' to let the public
boys bad started.
ASSAULT THI ! LUNCH TAHLK.
The picnic grounds , were reached shortly
before noon , and of eouifu lunrhton had to ba
served without delay. In fact when nothing
c-Le was on the tapis there was always a de
mand for lunch , and this number on the pro
gram was encored no Ires than four tlme-j
between noon and ti o'clock. If the city
r > .spltals aren't popular with the ne-wsbojrt
this morning It will be proof that their
stomachs are of a durable material that Is
wai ranted to neither rip. tear nor ravel.
There wore twenty gallons of Ice cream ,
thirty big. round cakes , tun pounds of candy
made up in the form of "all-day suckers , "
( with no Intention of tlio all-niglH consequences
quences ) , two sacks of peanuts , a barrel of
np.deM , a crate of oranges , and a string of
bananas. All the luncheons were well served.
Hveiything was dumped onto ono big table' ,
and tlu- boys Just helped themselves. That
was a gooJ deal better , they said , than hav
ing any old waiters around mussing up
tilings.
There1 were score's of wheelmen nnd whcel-
womi.n who ro.lo out to Pries' lake yester
day , and they were so absolutely cliarnu'd
with thu novelty of a newsboy's picnic
that they lingered for Borne time at the
'
of them ro-
scene of'the lestlvltles. Some
mitine.l until the storm broke' , lute in the
ftirnaoii. Then the bicyclers , especially
these who didn't ride wheels with diamond
frames , wore in a dreadful ptedlcameiit. The
new > bo > s. appreciating the honor that their
guest had done them , however , made pro
vision for their protection. A goodly number
of the wheelers and their machines won-
hroUKht homo In the newsboys' wagono.
Oie of the drivers rebelled when he saw
a cirl in bloomers lifting her wheel Into the
coach , but "Mogy" told him It meant no pay
for the wagon if the fair bicycler wasn't
brought back to town with the newsboys , so
the dear creature got her ride all right.
Society appeared to be greatly amused
at the athletic conUMs , of which there were
many. A large- number of the leading mer
chants bad contributed prizes for the winners -
nors of these ovcnts. Tile prlzco varied all
the way from a pink necktie to ten bars
of castile soap. The prize list was greatly
aifinenu'd and the character of the prizes
changed from amateur to professional by
Iho donation ot several dollars of real , hard
money by the uninvited but welcome guests ,
who were so thoroughly amused by tbe
etmtevts as to make up pursi s containing
ron-ddornblo amounts for the winners. This
is a slight departure from the George W.
Chllrts' scheme , but "Mogy" says the Qua
kers always were slow.
EXCITING IIOAT HACKS.
Inspired liy the aquatic contests at Pougn-
U onsie-on'-the-Hink-mi , the results of which
this iiewsrnvs had been calling for a weuls
past , they decided to have some boat racts
themselves. So n number of row boats wore
ct"'ured. mill the best oarsmen entered the
trial beats , one In each boat , to display their
oarsmanship and watermanship. The pre
liminary race. ' were rowed all right and
sITorded plenty of amusement for thu specta
tors. None of thu trial heals were easily
won. but the winners of the four heats ,
aficr a short rest , lined up for the final race ,
which was to determine the uquatlc su-
urcmacv of the newsboys of Omaha for 1K07.
'Siirro worn four starters. The distance was
a fourth of n mile. It was a hot race
' cm start to llnlah. Carl Fnloy , who has
been acclaimed "the chief. " had the lead ut
mio time by a boat length , but he was pullIng -
Ing too high a strokennd his feathering
was not smooth. John Mack jumpe'd past
t-'L-i ' about half way down Ihe course , and
wi.i never headed. He pulled the Courtney
-stroke and used American methods through
out. He finished llrst by Inlf n
boat length. Chief Foley made a gallant
spurt near the finish , but it was lee Into.
Stnrrl'i Flnklesteln llnished a poor third , lie
lowed the Hngllsh stroke and collapsed at
the finish , just like the other followers of
Mr. Lehman.
"Mony" announced a swimming match an
the next number. He said they had not ex
pected any women ns guests and nomi of the
boys had prepared themselves with bathing
Mills. So requested all the "ladies" to
bury their heads In their hands when ho
fired bis revolver to start the iace' . They
said they would , and the race was Bturtoil.
It was a good onet and Hill Allison won by
a neck. lie got cloven bars of stove pollnh
for hid hard-earned victory. The spectators
Immediately demanded that there must bo
another swlii mlng match , and the bicycle
girls urged their escorts to donnto some
money for a purse to be given tn the win
ner. Tills was done , and the pmvei went to
Oeorgo Heard , with Bmll Oordoti a close
second.
OIULS TUIIN TIIBIIt HACKS.
The females present hail to hhlo tholr
faces emco again , as the grand diving con
test wan .started. Ike Heard went under
water and swam nearly suvcnty-llve yards.
Ho received a yellow ncaktle for winning
this event. I5mll Gordon was second an-1
Chief Foley a clot > third. For the benefit
of the guests there was a correct .imitation
of a crap game by some of the colored
newsboys.
The small boys' fifty yard foot race was
won by James Foley , who was awarded a
bahu ball and a bat. Maurice Wilder was
second , and he had to bo content with a pair
of shoes. The seventy-five yard dasdi for
boys of nie-dlnm blzo was captured by
Johnny Diamond in record-breaking time- .
Ho caught a pair of oboe ! ! . Hanson Talberl
was second , and was given a cheap hat > chal !
and a thin bat. Morris J-'lnklwU'ln pulled
In third and pulled down a red , white and
blue neckllu.
The free-for-all dash of seventy-Jive yards
was won In a hollow manner by llooby
Clroenhlock. Another pair of times went to
him , while I5mil Oordon , who flnlsdii'd second
end , got another ball and bat.
The sack racet was a dandy. Slltikey John
son tumbled in across ihu flnUli line first
and was give-n a heavy sweater , but ho
didn't need it. Tom-y Comer was uecom !
and was tickled to get a mouth organ , while
Wllllo Olctxin. who could no better than
third , got a bag of > hot. Chief Foley won
the second sack race and a pair uf ehocn.
while 'Flooby ' ( ireetfblock was second and
won a toilet set.

darkies pointers on the art of walking for
a cake , and won uioat easily. Ho cot * na h
