Shortly before noon on Saturday the
New Jersey editors took a special
Pennsylvania railroad train to Wild
wood, where they, their wives and
daughters were guests Of the board of
trade of that beautiful resort. After
an inspection of the natural beauties
of that portion of Fiye-Mile Beach,
under the chaperonage OF Judge Har-
rison Ell. Voorhees, and Senator Philip
p. Baker, luncheon was served on the
new pier. The menu was excellent
and the floral decorations noteworthy.
Mrs. Philip P. Baker rendered the
ladies a reception at her home. Wild
wood is one of the new summer resorts
on the Atlantic coast, and although
chartered but three years ago has
made rapid progress. 1t has miles of
concrete sidewalks and curbs, a consid-
cradle number of expensive residences,
an ocean pier with club house and the
atre seating 1000 people, and bids fair
to be the leading high-class resort Of
New Jersey in few years.
A feature of the social side of the ex-
cursion was an impromptu musicale
given in the parlors on Sunday evening
during which Miss G. r. Crane and Miss
Mabel Muchmore rendered piano solos,
Miss Leola Muchmore gave recita-
tion and Mrs. Charles Starr delighted
all with several contralto solos.
/ The Association feels greatly indebt-
ed to the Central Railroad of New Jer-
sey and the Philadelphia & Reading
Railroad for courtesies extended, to
the local committee at Cape May, and
to the Board Of Trade Of wildwood,
who did all in their power to make the
stay Of the editors pleasant one. The
Morristown contingent are under espe-
cial obligations to Mr.. Hayden, of the
Central Railroad, for his kindness in
helping them out on transportation
that went astray in the mails.
Fourteen new members were added
to the Association at this meeting,
and the outlook for the coming year is
in every way encouraging. 1t is quite
important that all Of the State should
be enrolled. The dues are small and
J the advantages of membership in the
Association are many.
