For some time hay wagon parties have
been popular at Atlantic City. A party OF
young people hire q large hay wagon, have
it filed with hav or straw, and armed with
horns make the rounds of the island. These
parties became popular features until,

converted into an asylum for nervous
hvpochondiracs, Mayor Hoffman issued an
edict against nay-wagon rides. He has
realized that IL is rash 10 step between pleas
GTe seekers and their njoyment. Last night a
hay wagon party was given in honor OF the
Niayor and driven by his house. The wagon

their mouths, while tie horses feet were
