ANNUAL OUTING
OF BEACH PARTY,

Cedarville, N. j., Aug. 26.-The
annual "trip of the Old Clothes and
Appetite Beach Party came off very
successfully this year on Monday,
Aug. "a. the day was pleasant and the
party as congenial one as often
found, with the exception of one or
two who were bound to go along. J
I The party left the wharf in the launch
Grit" about 9.15 and the run down
was made in a little over en hour.
| arriving at Beach Greek about 10. 80.
! Tents were soon spread, one serving
as bath house, the other booth where
ham sandwiches were dealt out in
liberal measure. Having put on bath
ing suits most of the party went a dis
tance down the bay fishing and crab
bing, on these trips we were highly
successful. catching more than enough
for dinner, as all the paraphernalia
for cooking a first class dinner was
brought along. Dinner was not
served, however. until about 8. 80 and
the worriment by some of the party,
caused by this delay, was wonderful.
We do not think the party was really
hungry, Judging from the way they
had been eating since leaving the
wharf. Dinner over, about half of
the party INDUCED in ball game,
much to the amusement of the rest of
the party. To say that this Fart of
the day was 1aughable would be ex-
pressing it mild, but we suggeststo the
ball nine of this place if they are in
need of more players they would do
well by calling on the players of to
day. The features of the game was
the batting by Cobb, (and not Captain
either), the promptness on the part of
the fielder, Brineshutz, and the home
runs made by the rest of US, but the
most amusing part of the game was
the fact that no one seemed to know
whose side they were On. The game
was CALLED off because of the exhaus-
tion of the players and it was decided
both teams won.
Owing to the extreme heat and over
loaded stomachs, bathing was deferred
unit night, when we enjoyed delight
full bath, swimming lessons were given
to number, by Capt. Cobb, but we
were soon interrupted by the call ''All
Aboard and after changing our suits,
the return trip was made about and
the run up covered an hour. A lunch
was served for the benefit of those
who were feeling the need of it, and
who were lucky enough to get any for
the Sheppard boy who went along.
The stuff some people can get away
with is canton. and if they can t
eat it all, it finds its way into the
pockets for future need. We arrived
at the wharf, or rather about yards
from if at O'Clock. The distance of
these few yards was caused by the
low tide aud consequently a stick in
the mud. The time as quickly passed
amid the singing of encouraging p
songs. such as "We won't get home
until morning" and etc. We took
this time for giving our cheers for ou1
