#children in hospital

A fancy-stepping cowboy band and cowboys and cowgirls in their bright-colored shirts parade before child patients of Bellevue Hospital as they visit the hospital to stage their rodeo, which was then appearing at Madison Square Garden.,

Over 3,000 people, mostly children, watched this performance in the rear yard of Bellevue at 29th Street, facing the river on October 14, 1937. The East River (now FDR) Drive portion of the highway behind the hospital had not yet been built. The hospital grounds had lots of room to hold a rodeo.

According to the New York Herald-Tribune, this was the 12th annual rodeo held for the patients at Bellevue. The stars of the show in the eyes of many of the audience were juvenile ropers Don McLaughlin, aged 8, and his brother Gene, aged 7.

“Gee they were good,” said 11-year old Richard Orendach, a patient at Bellevue for two years. "Buck was awful good too, but I liked the McLaughlins the best. I don’t see how they can spin those ropes like they do.” By Buck, Richard was referring to Hardy Murphy and his trained horse Buck.

As can be seen in the photograph, every window and balcony was crowded with youngsters who watched with deep appreciation.

Besides the McLaughlin brothers, the kids were entertained by baton twirlers, high-stepping horses with colored flags, clowns, singers and a thirty-six piece band.

Rodeos were held at Bellevue into the 1950s.

The Thai's better be careful or the fleeing israeli's could assert that Thailand was promised to them by God and Ethnically Cleanse that nation of its Indigenous population.

Prompt:

Jason keeps accidentally drawing parallels between his running away to Ethiopia and getting killed.

He leaves a note saying he‘ll be back soon? Three terrified bats AND a supe crashing through the roof of a 7/11.

Casually mentioning he‘ll be going overseas to check up on a lead? Surprise! Nightwing‘s going the same way! What a coincidence!

Jason pushes someone off the roof? “Don’t worry Jaylad, I know it was an accident!!!!”

The next gig takes place at an abandoned warehouse? “Explosives whomst?? No, Jason, of course I didn’t scout the area beforehand. Don’t be absurd. Your bombs?? Oh, those were yours?”

Look, it’s not that Jason doesn’t appreciate a demonstration of how much they care. But he’s getting seriously fed up with the level of overprotectiveness everyone’s displaying.

Although, in retrospect, he could have handled this whole thing better than having an open spat with Bruce and then disappearing on them for two months straight. Oops.

(In his defense, Kori got them cards for a once-in-life-time-space-opera.)
