Branch Railroad Company the barbecue
and mass meeting of the Executive Com
mittee and club members Of the Demo
cratic Society of New Jersey, which was
held here yesterday, was a great success.
The winter time table of the railroad
company went into effect this m forming,
and so many trains were disc ontinued
that the greater part of the delegates
were unable to reach the Park until after
noon. 1t was after ten O'Clock when the
local committee, headed by Nicholson's
Bank, of Newark, escorted the few dele
gates which had managed to get here, to
Educational Hall, where the great mass
meeting was held. When the Executive
Committee saw the small number pres
ent it determined to ad journ the meeting
until afternoon. The visitors then broke
up into small groups and started to visit
the attractions of this famous resort.
Some wandered down to the board walk
and watched the waves of the ocean as
they pounded the beach with mighty
roar, but the huge OK, which slowly
roasting over the fire in the square ad-
joining the hall, filled the air with de-
licious steam, possessed attractions for
the majority Of the visitors At one
o'clock the chef in charge cf the roasting
OK declared that he was fitfor Democratic
statesmen and he was served uD to the
hungry multitude in the basement of the
hall At about the same time the leaders
Of the Democracy fortified the inner man
with more delicate if not as substantial
viands.
