The Association has selected an
ideal spot for their outings, it being
high bluff along the Cohansey river.
just north of Fairton, possibly three
and a half miles from Bridgeton, and
is easily accessible either by boat,
driving or by trolley.
Upon this high bluff, possibly fifty
feet above the river level, in a cedar
grove is located the log house of the
Association, and most commanding
view of the surrounding country is
obtainable. The property has 'front.'
age of fifty feet. with depth of more
than four hundred and fifty feet.
The pretty club house is commodi-
GUS and surrounded by broad verand
which are carefully enclosed with
wire screens. Out upon the bluff,
some little distance from the house,
is what is termed the Crows Nest"
raised platform in large tree, com
fortably seated, and reached by broad,
easy steps. Sitting here one gets an
especially advantageous view of the
winding river for very considerable
distance
The scene was beautiful one yes
terday. flags being tastefully arranged,
while comfortable, inviting hammocks
were swinging under the trees.
Some little distance from the club
house is the remains of an Indian
village, and scattered about in mounds
are relics of the aboriginal days, and
several of the party yesterday after
noon succeeded in finding some inter.
esting specimens.
There were perhaps five or six
launch loads of guests yesterday who
went down to "Pine Knott by the
river, while many others took advan-
tage of the pleasant drive, others ped
aled down upon bicycles, and still
others went down on the trolley cars.
All of the members of the Associa-
tion were unremitting in their efforts
as reception committee and gave
their guests every possible attention.
In the club house were punch bowls
filed with orengeade, end Caterer
Edgar Riley furnished clam chowder,
