The Glassblowers picnic at Washing

affording enjoyment to the now idle work
ers, aud opportunity to meet in social in
tercouTse. The weather was perfect and
the Park was clothed in its handsomest
garments of abundant shade and blooming
flowers The men were generally accom-
panied by their families, and well filed
lunch baskets were in evidence at the noon
hour. The delegates 10 the National Con-
ventioD, and guests to the number of ab0ut
two hundred, dined in Park dining room.
There were no accidents or incidents to
mar the pleasures of the day, aud the first
picnic OF the Giassw0rkeFs was voted q
great success. There as some disappoint-
ment at the failure of Governor Voorhees,
and Senator MeDermott to be present as
agreed, but the addresses by President
Hayes, Senator johnson, of Camden. and
Senator Nichols. of Bridgeton, flied
that feature of the program The trolley
and railroad service was excellent both ID
getting picnickers to and from the Park.
The committee of Woodbury. Branch. who
had charge of the details, are to be cou-
graduated on the success of every
feature.
