What's tho use Of going to the Adiron-
, dacks or the Maine woods to camp when
you can enjoy the same sort OF outing within
= sight Of New York city?
Under the Palisades, along the New
!. Jersey shore, there are hundreds OF campers
these days, and they are having as good q
T time within short distance Of their homes
! Is the people who journey hundreds Of
miles.
All the way from Fort Leo to point about
opposite Yonkers the Jersey shore Is dotted
with the tents Of Jolly camping parties.
There are large parties who have brought
their women folks along to enjoy the outing.
There are fifty or moro persons In one camp,
comprising nearly the entire membership
OF canoe club.
This canoe Clubs in camp on Egg Beach
opposite Spuyten Duyvil. The canoeists
have erected little tent settlement there
. and are having the time Of their lives
They brought their canoes along and such
provisions as they need.
Their table is supplied largely from the
Ash they catch in the Hudson. Tomoods
arc running well now and cells are always
plentiful.
Eggs and milk arc obtained from tho
nearest farmers. The farmers welcome the
campers, for tt latter spend money and
arc easy to please.

Moro campers have made Temporary
homes for themselves thu year at tho foot
Of the Palisades than ever before. They
began arriving In the latter part Of june
and they have been appearing in increasing
numbers ever since. They select their
own camping ground and pitch their tents
wherever they please. No ono ever molests
them.
A commission made up Of two members
from this State and two from New jersey
has supervision now over large portion
Of the Palisades. Blasting has been stopped
for the most part, and In the course OF time
one Of the finest parks In the world may be
established there.
Permission to camp on the territory Of
which the commission has charge can be
obtained by applying for It, Permission
to camp on territory over which tho COM
mission has no Jurisdiction is not needed.
AL you have to do Is to set up your tent
and make yourself comfortable.

Picnickers long ago discovered the beau.
ties Of this stretch Of country which tho
campers now call their own. Fort Leo
and the surrounding country has always
been favorite resort for picnic parties.
They cross the Fort Lee ferry in droves
on Sundays and holidays.

ing, and when they tire they sit down and
eat All carry their own food and on .

parties will be found enjoying themselves
In the surrounding woods.
Tho pionickers and the campers mover
clash, for the latter get too far away to be
bothered by the picnic parties. The ono
day outing parties never get too far away
from the ferry, but the camper wants to get
out Of sight Of it. Your camper likes to
imagine he Ii in tho Adirondacks and he
doesn't have to have very elastic imagina-
ton, at that.
