Resort.

Go to Coney Island for quiet pleasure.

of enjoyment there. The vendors and
fakirs who invest the place make it a
purgatory for quiet pleasure seekers. But

Newark Bay. These hot summer days
cause the many who are penned up in
the dingy recesses of the busy city to flee
for a cool spot.
Perhaps no more ideal place could be
found than the wooded section bordering
the Newark Bay. from Bergen Point to
Greenvi1le. A few years ago the section
was desolate. Families parties were ac-
customed to frequent the place but only
to a limited extent. The transit facilities
were poor and no advantages Were Of

Now it is one of eeaseless activity. The
conveying facilities are of the best, and
the new Boulevard makes it a perfect
paradise for riders and bicyclists to spend
an afternoon. Inns of every description
have been erected; wharves and boat
houses lave been built; bathing facilities
have been improved; all tending to make
it one of the most pleasurable resorts in
this section of the State.
