Mutual Protection for Truckers.

Pleasantville, N. j., July 20. '97.
Mr.. EditOr:-I saw in the cOrrespOn-
dence from Scullville of last weeks issue
complaint stating that the Times
Democrat had misrepresented the far
mers, ETC., along the river. While it is of
no interest to me personally yet the re-
puted article was go far from correct
that it seems an injustice for it to go by
without notice. The fact is commencing
at Steelmanville and continuing all along
the river to extreme western portion of
English Creek there is no better or more
fertile soil in the country, and | doubt
whether there is any managed more
prOfitably than there. The correspon-
dent hits the keynote when he says the
Atlantic City produce dealers go to
Philadelphia and rush the market full of
inferior goods and compel everybody
having fresh goods to submit to Inferior
prices. From the observation of the
writer "whO has long done business in
Atlantic City and Philadelphia and also
with farmers along the river" he finds this
to be about correct and am glad to say
that if Atlantic City did not get any
worse goods than is sent there from up
the river she would have much better
than much Of that received from Phila-
delphia. The railroads and commission
men reap the harvest under such con-
ditions and the farmers on the shore and
elsewhere pay the penalty and the hotels
the bills for poor goods. Some concerted
action toward mutual protection on this
| line by the truckers and farmers would
not be bad move.
|. Respectfully YOU'RE,
FARMER.

Fairmount Park, Philadelphia

FairmOunt Park, Philadelphia.
Fairmount Park, Philadelphia, con-
tains over $500 acres, many of which
the city bought as opportunity offered,
and many have been given by generous
donors.
In this Park the Centennial exhibition
was held. The Memorial Hall still
stands filled with interesting exhibits
free to visitors, notable among which is
the WiIstach collection. The Schuylkill
River runs through the Park. That
portion lying west of the river is known
as West Park, and on the east side East
Park. Guard houses are erected at con-
venient places and one hundred men in
uniform guard the grounds. Rabbits,
squirrels and birds are plentiful Good
drives run in all directions where the
solid business men and snob swells of the
city drive their fine equipages.
Philadelphians appreciate the value of
their fine Park, and well they may, for
no other city can boast of fiuer one.
Here history and tradition has added
much for the lover of romance. Many of
the old estates antedate the days of the
Revolution, and several old houses still
stand. Lemon Hill was once the home
Of Robert Morris who gave substantial
aid to Washington in the early struggles
for independence. The old Peters Mansion
at Belmont, was often visited by WASH
ington for Washington and Judge Peters
were personal friends. Strawberry Man.
sion, Belvllle, Edgely, Woodford, and
Mount Pleasant are old estates with
interesting histories. Mount Pleasant
was the home Of the traitor Benedict
Arnold, and was for his treason coDfis-
Gated.
Last year a trolley road was built on
the northwest side of West Park. 1t
starts in at Belmont avenue and runs
over to and along the Schuylkill and
back forming loop. At Dauphin street
near Strawberry Mansion bridge has
been bu 1t across the Schuylkill, and cars
run from east side around the loop.
This trolley road is considered great
convenience and is well patronized. On
the west side of the road, forming the
loop, q property was bought last winter
for Park. 1t adjoins grove of large
oaks and is called Woodside Park.
Much capital has been expended in beau
trying the grounds. An artificial lake
has been formed and is supplied by two
artesian wells. Sw8ns and row boats
adorn it's waters.
Several amusements to attract people
have been built, q fine scenic railway
and merry go round, old stand bys
which all pleasure parks possess, large
swimming pool and swings and minor
attractions On the side of the lake
stands an iron building, 24x5O, IA feet
posts, on the roof in large letters reads
"Funnescope' and on the frontis printed
1.-THE House That Jack Built, and a;Ride
in the Rockies" This is the Pleasant
vile invention and is similar to the ap-
paratus at Atlantic City, known as the
"Trip to Chicago" but much improved.
80, 900 people have paid their nickel to
ride through the Rockies.
