The Ninth Annual Farmersss flcnle.
Tuesday last was an ideal picnic day
The atmosphere was Just at the right de
gree to make light clothing bearabIe, and
permit lounging without danger to health.
The early trains from southern points
brought the advance guard Of the big army
that made this the record breaker Of gath
erings at Washington Park. Manager Lud-
lum of the C. g. and w. Trolley Company
took personal charge of the transportation
arrangements in Woodbury., and car after
car, decorated with tall corn stalks and
brilliant sunfiowers, laden with farmers
and their families, were whisked away to
the park without a moments unnecessary
delay. While this stream of humanity
was passing into the Park from the south, a
like stream came from the northern coun-
ties of Burlington and Camden, until the
picknickers numbered from 10000 to so,
900 souls.
The children had the free use Of the
various committees had busy morning
loading and unloading the vigorous youths
from South Jersey farms.
THE BEAUTY SHOW.

is the Baby Show. Each picnic brings a
new invoice OF the most attractive little

attraction is the mecca of old and young.

selection of the prettiest from a collection
of fifty. They we're: Mrs. George Turner,

complete list Of the exhibits that formed so
important feature of this great gathering,

senting the West Jersey Mari and Trans
portation Company, who exhibited seven
teen yarities of potatoes grown by brands
of fertilizer sold by that Company. Amoung
