A CAV DAY AT WILDWOOD.

Pleasure and Sport Participated
in by Uncle Sans HustIing
De 1uties Postmaster Castle
AppIauds Their Service-Win-
ners of Contests and Prize Of
ferings.
Yesterday was an ideal day, with the
exception or about an hour during tile
afternoon, when a storm was threatened
for little time, but which finally blew
over, and the evening was all that
could be desired for either sailing or
rowing. The carriers, with their wives
and friends, went to Wildwood in i'm
menSe crowds and spent the day and
evening taking in the sights. As it
was SO hot, the bath houses and the
toboggan slide came III for big run of
patronage, particularly the new rubber
sliding belt, which is very pop
ular with the more timid ones.
Nothing whatever happened to mar
the pleasure of these faithful servants
of the public. and the trains running
out from the city at intervals of about
ten minutes were every one loaded
even until o'clock last night. The
train service was all that could be de-
sired all the way through, and the
management deserves great credit for
the way in which it handles such
crowds that went out yesterday.
