Wednesday, the 18th inst, the date of
the 10Th annual picnic of the farmers of
Camden, Cumberland, Gloucester and Salem
counties, at Washington Park was an ideal
picnic day. and the people improved it as
never before s0From early morning till
night the cars went loaded, and the boats
brought thousands.
To undertake to estimate such a mass of
people as swarmed the groves, the pavilions,
the river front, the boardwalks with any
degree of accuracy, is too complicated
promblem for your correspondent, but if
there were $4,000 there last year as esti-
mated, there were 5000 there yesterday,
for this picnic was record breaker over
any that have gone before.
