Three umbrela-mending tourists in
charge of a policeman, were initiated
into the secret of how to get out of town
without putting up car-fare, Tuesday.
They went via the bridge route.
The turnpike across the meadows is
being raising about two feet above the
old level, for distance of nearly half a
mile beyond the drawbridge. This will
be great scheme for the bker and his
bike when finished.
Proprietor j. Haines Lippincott,
OF Haddon Hall, has Just received
the sad intelligence of his
fathers sudden death from ap-
pOleXy at his home in RivertOn. n.
j. The news was a shock to Mr.
LippincOtt, as the deceased was not
known to him to have been ill.
Mr.. F. H. Champion cashier of the
d
SeashOre Railroad has Just purchas-
ed new bicycle. The make is one
OF the Bucking Manufacture
The name is an appropriate one
Mr.. Champion has bucked and butted
the earth several times in his first
attempts at riding. Roofing the
peg has also been a feature of his
experiences OF bicycle riding. 1t is
said one day last week his wheel be-
came unmanageable and smashed
into a wheelbarrow, demoralizingi it's
conductor. The two persons went
in opposite directions and the wheel
and wheelbarrow clinched. The
wheel in the fall, landed on top, but
was turned by the barrow. Mr..
Champion is the last one of the
attaches OF the Company to be pilot
OF bicycle and his experiences has
not been unlike his associates when
learning.
Many hearts were made to rejoice
on Thursday evening last when it
was learned that Mr.. Frederick
Hemsley and family had arrived
safely home from England. They
were accompanied by their neice,
Miss Mary Gummey, daughter OF Mr.
Brinkle Gummey. They started the
first part of October last for a trip
through England, France and Italy,
mostly for the benefit of Mr..
Hemsley's health, which had become
seriously impaired from heavy bust
ness cares and overwOrk. Mr.. Hem
sley is one if not the foremost wide
awake business men of Atlantic City.
He is one OF the City Hall commits
siOners and has done a marvellous
work in behalf OF a new City Hall.
Being an observing man, and always
alive to new and modern ideas in
the direction of advancement, his
experience would be interesting to
all and no doubt he will entertain
the public with the same more or
less. Careful attention was given to
the manner hotels We're conducted
while on his trip, with the result, in
his opinion OF their being far behind
American hotels None of the at
ractiOns, attention OrcOmfOrts were
attainable there as in our own
hotels. Railroads are very much
inferior to ours. There being but
one line only ''The London and
North Western" being at all good.
The rest of them are of poor quail
lty as compared to ours. Nothing
was discovered to compare with the
Penn. System, which has no equal in
the world. But onefeature attracted
his admiration in his travels and
that was the roads which are very
good and much superior to ours.
OF the weather during the five
months sojourn but one could be
called fair, the balance being stormy
and dreary. Everybody is glad to
see Mr.. Hemsley back and it could
be easily seen that he was also glad
to return, there being mo place like
home"
