In his report this month Dr. Bigelow said: "The committee here received the children and placed them for entertainment in g«'o.l homes on farms on the hills, miles distant from the city." One of the two parties that leave the city to-day goes to Utlca. and will again receive the care of the willing committee, of which Dr. Bigelow Is the sec retary and treasurer. In connection with this first work the want in the tenement house districts has been evident to the workers as never before. Much money is being raised to relieve th^ suffering there, but there will be no relief more beneficial than that which not alone provides food for the children, but also re lieves the mothers of their care and gives them several weeks in the country, where the conditions of life will be an added advantage to the little ones, giving them an opportunity to recuperate and to gain strength for the remainder of the hot weather in the city. So reasonable are the rates obtained from the railroads and so reasonable the cost of the entertainment on the farms and In the homes In the small communities that the expense is not more, and often less, than the cost of providing food for the children for the same period of time In the city. . The Children's Relief Society, of which Isldor Levy is president, and James H. Hamilton, head worker in the University Settlement. is treasurer, has decided to report to the Fresh Air Fund man ager on children that especially need an outing in the country. This society may co-operate in other ways now that the schools are closing- From places where children have been entertained in other seasons requests that they be sent a atn have been received. From Middlesex and Rush vine N. Y.. and from Herkimer have come letters asking that children be sent, and entertainment Is all prepared for \he little guests. One family in Rushvllle wishes to entertain the children that have been there for five successive years. A famil> in Rushville wishes to have the same children that were there for four successive years. These are only a few of the requests that will be received, all of a similar character, showing that the Settle ment children are not all the little barbarians that some fiction has represented them to be. The great number of children under sixteen years of age that neea relief has, as in former years, compelled the exclusion of those who are sixteen years of age or older, and the workers In the various districts in the city who are gathering their parties are met. as usual, with pathetic pleas from the excluded to be taken to the country Just once more. Of course, It cannot be done. As it Is, the fund is only large enough to take care of a small proportion of the children who need the outing. The larger the fund the more of the lat ler will be taken to the country and the greater the benefit to the whole child population In the tenement districts. Those who have been away act as a leaven among their friends who have not. The returning Fresh Air children tell the stories of their experience, and to those who have been compelled to stay at home these tales partake of all the thrilling mysticism of fairy lore. As many have not seen a real cow or pig or sheep, the fortunate one who has seen them readily MHW romances about her experiences. These furnish en tertainment and instruction tor many evenings. The more that can be sent the more of this vision of the unknown country will be Injected into the lives of the tenement children. The parties booked to go to the country to-day are for Utica and ArdMey. A REPLY TO SYMPATHIZER. To the Editor of The Tribune. Sir: The person who signed himself "Sympa thizer" in to-day's Tribune is very much mistaken about Italians being cruel to their horses. An Italian, no matter whether he is a huckster, rag man or expressman, almost always takes great pride in his horses, having plenty of brass, rings, gaudy tassels, etc., on the harness. Next time "Sympathizer" comes to the city let him or her go east of the Bower/ to see real cru elty to horses. The Jews are the most Inhuman drivers of horses that I have ever seen. I am on the streets of New York almost every week day in the year and have plenty of time to ob serve drivers and their horses. Let "Sympathizer" take notice of the Yiddish drivers of carbonic water wagons, express, or any delivery wagon,, and "Sympathizer's" eyes will surely be opened to the real facts. A great many of the horses on the East Side are hir«d by the day the same as push carts (and it is just these livery stables that the S. P. C. A. agents ought to watch more than any others, but they never go near them, as there is nothing in it), and any one who gives the matter a thought can imagine the amount of work that will be got out of that kind of an animal in one long day. The hired horse on the East Side is o\-erworked, but not overfed. ANOTHER SYMPATHIZER. New York. June 28, 1908. WITHOUT AN EX-PRESIDENT BEFORE. To the Editor of The Tribune. Sir: In the article "For the Busy Man" in The Sunday Tribune for June 28, the writer, usually so correct in his references to past events, many of which he skilfully weaves into those interest ing weekly reviews or summaries, slips Into error when, in commenting on the fact that the death of former President Cleveland leaves the country without a living ex-President until March. 1909, eight months or sc, hence he speaks of It as an anomalous condition, something that has not occurred since John Adams became an ex-Presi dent, In 1801, some fourteen months after Washing ton died. As a matter of fact, since that time and before the present, the country has been once with out a living ex-President. Andrew Johnson died on July 31, 1575. and there was no former President liv ing during the remaining nineteen months of Presi dent Grant's second term. W. H. THOMPSON. New Haven, June 29, 1908. GRISWOLD NOT NEAR DEATH. Rochester, June 29.— A dispatch from Alexandria Bay says that the report that D. T. Griswold. Yale's '08 stroke of the 'varsity crew, who col lapsed on Thursday, is at the point of death, is not true. Although looking hollow cheeked and weary, Griswold Is far from being sick. "Since recovering from the collapse in the racing shell," he said to-day, "I have been feeling very well and strong; and although my strength left me last Thursday before the race was half over it was nervous shock rather than physical exhaustion that bro t it on. I do not attribute my collapse to overtr^v-ning." Griswold will start at once for New York. From there he will go to New Hampshire, to spend the summer camping in the woods. MR. ASTOR'S ROYAL GUESTS. Iyondon. June 29.— The Duchess of Connaught and Princess Patricia spent the. wepk-end at Cliveden as the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Waldorf Astor, who gave a garden party to-day in aid of the Barnardo homes. The Bishop of Virginia, who presided, and the Duke of Connaught, who came especially for the occasion, made sympathetic speeches In favor of the Barnardo movement. THE BAPTISM OF PRINCE JAIME. La Grnnja. June 29.— The christening of the in fant son of King Alfonso under the name of Jaime took place to-day at the chapel cf the palace here. The ceremony substantially was identical with that at the christening of Prince Alfonso of the Asturias nn May 18, 1907, except that no foreign special mis sions were present. Prince Alfonso attended the ceremony in thf arms of his governess and screamed lustily throughout the ceremony, in con trast with his little brother, who wax quiet. MINISTER RAVA MAY RESIGN. Rome.
