MANY FALL OUT ON WAY Others Join Marchers, With Central Park as Goal—Woman Heads for Albany. There were probably a thousand persons crowded in front of the City Hall yesterday afternoon when the first of a series of health hikes under the leadership of Captain Godfrey Rodrigues, a physical instructor, of Holland, started. .... At least 500 followed the instructor across the park and into Lafayette Street."
