Letter Carriers Picnic the
Largest Of the Season
Who were There.

Pohlman's dancing pavilions were lit
orally packed last night by the letter
carriers and their many friends. Never
before in the fifteen years history of the
place was it SO crowded. 1t was the
first picnic of the Jersey City Letter
Carriers Mutual Benefit Association,
Branch AZ, and it is useless to say that
the affair was a grand success. 1t was
the only picnic that ever crowded both
dancing pavilions, and then turned peo-
pie away for the want of room. The
picnic was held for a good p and
well deserved the patronage it received;
the proceeds going towards creating
a fund for the association.

ces the Entire Nous Quartette, con-
sisting Of Randolph Spencer, Harry
