THE FARMERS WASHINGTON
PAPK.

History repeated itself yesterday at the
famous resort on the Delaware. The pro-
cession of farmers to the Park began at
early morn and continued until early even
ing. Up trains 90 the three railroads con
verging at Woodbury. were from a quarter
to an hour behind time all day, the delay
ing being due to the fact that schedules are
impossible when the people move en- nadsse.
Wednesday was beautiful day. The
sun shone brightly but was tempered by a
cool breeze, hence the people travelled and
visited and rested in delightful comfort.
The trolley road, under its excellent manage
ment, moved the people without delay and
without single mishap. At the Park all
was life, good fellowship, comfort, and
pleasant diversion. The young people took
Immediate possession Of the amusements,
and they were kept hurnming for their
benefit until the noon hour, when the
family cloth was spread and under the vast
expanse of shade and beside the river the
thousands enjoyed the good things spacious
baskets contained.
The display of farm products surpassed
any heretofore made. The four long tables
were burdened with every manner Of farm
truck and fruit in marvellous perfection. At
this time we cannot attempts to mention all
the exhibits or name exhibitors, but the
floral, display of J. L. North, of Sewell, and
a new variety of tomato by Mrs. r. G. Kane,
of Vineland, were universally admired.
Six of the latter on one stem, weighed 81
pounds, and single tomato, p pounds.
DeHart's improved truck shelving, Wood
bury Bottle Works glass exhibit and
Blasius piano exhibit, attracted general
attention.
We sympathize with the judges whose
duty it was to award prizes on the various
exhibits, because as seen through our
glasses the acme of perfection had been
reached in the development Of the entire
exhibit. Following are the names of those
to whom prizes were awarded =

People accustomed to estimating crowds,
stake their reputation that from $4,000 to
10000 people were on the grounds.
Base Ball.
The Country Club had an easy victory
with Williamstown on Saturday last. At
some points in the game the playing was
listless especially by the visiting team
who made several errors. Wells pitched a
nice game for the local team and except in
one or two instances had good support.
Pedrick and Bachman each distinguished
themselves, the former making sensa-
tional stop of high liner at first base and
Bachman catching wild throw home, saw
ing one or two runs and retiring the side
with a double play. Score to 2.
Salem will play the home team on Sattlr-
day next at this place.
One of the most interesting games of the
season was played before large and en-
thusiastie audience between N. w. A. A.
and Westville A. A., on the formers
grounds. The home team shut the visitors
out until the 9Th inning, when costly
error gave them run. The features of the
game were the all around hitting of the
home team, and good pitching by Dopson.
The game closed with score to in favor
