THE SHORE

| The yachtsmen OF the Cricket Fleet
Saturday invaded the waters OF the
upper Delaware and as B. result OF their
enterprise carried back home with them
both silver cups offered by the Red Ora
goon Canoe Club for the invitation race
for hall raters. 1t was clearly case
of better sailing ability on the part OF
the visitors anG one OF the local yachts
men voiced the sentiments OF his breth-
rem when ne philosophically remarked :
"The natives OF Atlantic City are born
on the water and practically live there,
and their model boats may not be things
of beauty, but they can burn the wind. "
Seven hall raters lined up for the start
ing signal in the race, the Feather, sail
ed by F. W. Noyes; the Imp, sailed by
John Hamilton; the Dragon, sailed by
William j. Scott; the Echo, sailed by
Commodore Alvin Fenimore; the Tad
pole, Sailed by E. W. Fleishman; all
members OF the Red Dragoon Club, and
the Isabella, sailed by George Gaskill,
and the Truant, sailed by Warren Somers,
OF the Atlantic City Cricket Fleet. The
course was the regular one OF the club,
from buoy opposite the headquarters,
above Wissinoming, to and around Plum
Point buoy, keeping it on the port hand,
to starting point and repeat, distance
OF twelve miles. ::
The Echo was the first to cross the
line and set her spinnakers as the gun
was fired. The others were quick to
follow her example, but the advantage
gained by Commodore Fenimore was
not overcome until near the upper buoy.
Geo. Gaskill, on the Isabeea, then gave
an exhibition OF sailing that opened
the eyes OF the Red Dragon contingent.
Keeping well out in the channel, he took
advantage OF the brisk southwesterly
breeze and quickly overhauled the lead
er and was the first to round Plum Point
buoy closely followed by the other Allan
tic City entry. On the stretch for the
lower buoy both Jersey sloops opened
up such q distance that the friends of
the local yachtsmen gave up in despair.
The Isabella rounded the lower buoy
first, followed by her sister sloop, the
Truant. The regatta committee ruled
the Echo out, and ce-Commodore Scott
who said the Dragon also Withdrew
from the race. The Isabella, which is
owned by Judge Joseph Thompson, had
a virtual walEover on the second hall
OF the course, crossing the finishing line
at $500, over twenty minutes ahead
Of the Truant.

PLEASANTVILLE'S SERVICE.
An intermediate Train is Needed
Travel Is Good

While the West Jersey management
is giving Pleasantville and other suburbs
good accommodations compared with
earlier days, there is still room for i'm
provement On Wednesday night the
IL o clock train from this city carried
465 people, and these were crowded
for even standing room. If there had
been train out at O. clock more than
hall these people would have left at that
time. In fact, if there was a 9 clock
train from this city more people would
come over from Pleasantville and other
towns in the early evening train. Many
citizens would come over for stroll
on the Boardwalk and to shop if they
were not compelled to wait until IL
p. m. to return and it would pay the
company to put on such train. Many
Shore visitors yesterday came to this
city on the early evening trains in small
deta achments, but all were forced to wait
until the IL o CLOCK train, and it took
every motor car to hold them.
No doubt ii Supt. Dayton 8 attention
is called to the matter he will look into
is. OF course there are always people
ready to give the railway managers
advice, and they get tired OF it; neverthe-
less they are willing to at least listen.
The IL o'clock train is appreciated by
those who go to the theatre OF other
places OF amusement and young people
VINO like to spend uhe last possible nour
on the Boardwalk. Daily Union, July
20.
We cordially endorse the Union S sug
gestion and believe it would pay the
railroad company to put on the extra
train, and we say this with no spirit
of fault-iinding with the splendid train
service we already have.
