Peninsula Editors Enjoying a Holt
day NJ Atlantic City.
Special Correspondence Of Gazette and Journal
ATLANTIC orrr, Aug. 29.-There is
comparatively large gathering of PENN
sula editors here to-day in attendance
upon the annual holiday jaunt of the
editorial association of the Peninsula
The journalist guests arrived on Satur-
day evening and nearly all found quarters
at Colonel Rahter's Ashland House ON
Atlantic avenue. In the evening hop
was given, but the editorial guests did
not participate, strolling instead by the
beach and through the city. The city
was very bright on Saturday evening.
and as far as a merry throng go to make
resort pleasant the editors could
scarcely have selected gayer time. The
Washington militia are encamped ON
the United States lawn aud the hotel
keepers are yieing with each other in
their Inequalities TO the boys, while the
young ladies are unremitting in their at
tentions to the "buttons." Yesterday the
journalists spent very enjoyably, the
majority going in the surf and buffeting
with the swells for an hour or so. The
sun was bright though the day was not
particularly hot, but the glare OF the sun
light burned the journalistic cuticle to n
rich carmine. Last evening the editors
attended the various sacred concerts or
strolled along the beach, as might best
please their notions.

Way Of Middletown writer of Pack and

ATLANTIC CRY, N. j., Aug. 30.-The
Peninsular editors here are enjoying
themselves leisurely and restfully, bath

never-ending human phantasmagoria that
crowds this queen of Jersey seaside re-
sorts.
