Annual Outing Coming
New York, 1895
Woodhaven and Ozone Park News.
The annual outing and bay dinner of the Independents will take place on Sunday at the Windsor club house, Goose Creek. The party will leave Ozone Park about 11 o'clock.
In another part of THE FARMER will be found a certified copy of the law incorporating the Woodhaven fire department. Every fireman, and every citizen also, should read this important law.
The Siac club met with defeat on Saturday by a local nine called the Ball Cranks, by a score of 13-2. The playing of some of the cranks called forth lots of applause. The umpire was R. Howard.
The marriage of Miss Mary Sadler to Mr. Rowland took place on Wednesday evening at the bride's residence. Rev. Henry Lawrence officiated. The bride and groom left for Connecticut. A number of handsome presents were received.
The Sunday school of the Congregational church went on their annual picnic to Rockaway Park on Saturday. A large number of the church members accompanied the children and everything passed off pleasantly.
A second hearing was given Saturday in the case of Joseph Schmidt, Adolph Rausch and Frank Orles, the men charged with maliciously killing goats belonging to Mr. Howard, at his goat farm, at Woodhaven, but on account of doubt of jurisdiction an adjournment was taken to July 7.
The law abiding citizens of Woodhaven greatly miss the Rev. William James, who during his residence here gave them a quiet Sunday. Since his departure the Sundays are anything but orderly. There are games of base ball played, guns, pistols and fireworks shot off, and the growler is openly run all day and far into the night.
The Odd Fellows' lodge of Woodhaven will go on its annual picnic to Oscawana Island, up the Hudson, on July 18th, and a right merry time is assured. Four hours will be spent at the grove, and the sail will be delightful. The iron steamboat Taurus has been chartered. She will receive the excursionists at the Bridge dock in Brooklyn and at Long Island City. The trains for the latter place will leave Ozone Park, and will not stop at the junction. There will be dancing on the steamer and at the grove.
The proposition to appropriate $25,000 for the erection of another new schoolhouse in the Woodhaven Union school district will, it is now anticipated, be adopted with few dissenting votes. The special school meeting to decide the question will be held early next month. A conference of forty citizens from the Union Course district, where it is proposed to erect the school, and five members of the board of education was held [MISSING WORD] week, Lawyer John B. Merrill, of the board, presiding. The discussion was on the question of school improvements, and the citizens present voiced their sentiment in favor of the new building.
The closing exercises of public school No. 2, University place, and school No. 4, Brooklyn Hills, were held Wednesday afternoon. The exercises consisted of essays, declamations, and music by the scholars. Promotion certificates were awarded to 450 of the scholars. Superintendent Smith addressed the scholars at both schools. There was a large attendance of the relatives and friends of the scholars.
The exercises in school No. 1, Walker avenue, were hold yesterday afternoon. The class rooms were handsomely decorated with flags and flowers, and the scholars showed much proficiency in their studies. The scholars in all of the schools were complimented by the superintendent and board of education for their close attention to studies and good deportment during the school year. Music was one of the features of the exercises.
The pupils of School No. 1 presented their music teacher with a handsomely bound volume of Whittier's poems, Superintendent Smith making the presentation address on the part of the scholars. In this school 475 scholars received promotion certificates. There was no graduating class this year, owing to a recent change in the studies.
The closing exercises at the Union Course school were held last evening, and 175 of the scholars were given promotion certificates.
The four schools have an enrollment of 1,300 scholars, with 30 teachers. The schools will open for the fall and winter term September 3, with a larger force of teachers. The new teachers will be Miss Jennie Miller, of Jamaica, Miss Mabel Pierce, of Far Rockaway, the Misses Folger and Baldwin, of the Oswego normal school, the Misses Bayam and Bowerman, of the Genesee normal school, and Miss Benham, of the New Paltz normal school.
Superintendent Smith will spend his vacation at Islip.
