ing features of the place, the impression
was that the assessor was too low in his
estimate so far as solid comfort and enjoy
ment were concerned, even though he
may have been thought to be a little high
from monetary point of view
After being introduced to the campers,
the visitors were told to consider the place
their own. There was disposition to &C
cept this invitation but the presence of
Mr.. Bricks two large bulldogs led to the
impression that their good will had better
be secured. A word from their master to
the effect that the people were his friends
seemed to settle the point and there was
no trouble on that score The party scat
tered about the place and INDUCED in diff
ferent pastimes. Several tried their luck
at quoits, others went out boating. With
editor Folwell as his coach Assemblyman
Robbins went fishing and succeeded in
landing three pike. One of them appeared
to be under size, and with clear vision of
the game laws before him, he threw it
back into the water There was no dis
putting the legality of the two he kept, for
they certainly were beauties
Politics was not talked in a serious
manner, but there was a disposition to
grant to any fellow the ambition he was
supposed to cherish and Messrs. Hilton
and Brick were told to merely mention any
office they wanted and it would be given
them without regard to the formality of
primary or convention. Business also,
was entirely swept aside. The day was
set for enjoyment and that part of the
programme was carried out to the fullest
extent.
There were two large milk cans with
funnel shaped tops and one of the party
was curious as to the use they were put to.
He picked one up and found that the bot.
tom had been cut out. His curiosity was
greater than ever and he was still ponder
ing over the matter when Mr.. Brick picked
up the can which he used as a megaphone
and summoned all hands to dinner Every
farmer in the party decided at once that if
milk can could be converted into such
use and produce such feeling of satisfac-
ton as that one did that he would try the
experiment as soon as he got home.
1t did not take long for the party to en-
ter the dining room and it took very little
longer for the plates to be filled. There
was roast beef, mashed potatoes, corn, cole
slaw, ice cream, coffee and other good
things. When the party first entered the
dining room and saw the amount that was
set before them they wondered what would
be done with what was left. After dinner
they had no such wonderment. Like the
boy who was asked by companion to give
him the core of an apple only to receive
the answer there amt goin' to be no
CORE so it was with what might be ex-
pected to be left of that repast-'' there
wasn't nothin' left. The cooking was
great and those housekeeoers in the party
who have had trouble to get good cooks
and other help Immediately held caucus
to see if they could beg, borrow or steal
some of Mr. Bricks kitchen aids
At the close of the dinner Turner Birk-
head, in few remarks, suggested that it
would be appropriate at this time for some
one of the guests to express the thanks of
the party for the generous manner in
which it had been entertained and he
called upon Hon. Samuel K Robbins to
| perform that duty. In his happy style
Mr. Robbins complimented the Evesham
member and said that while there did not
appear to be any way in which Kenil-
worth could be improved on in the way of
beauty and hospitality. he hoped it would
become so popular in the eye of the sum-
mer outing public as to be one of the fore
most resorts in the country. At the con
clusion of Mr.. Robbins remarks a rousing
vote of thanks was rendered Mr. and Mrs
Brick, and the party was invited to regis
ter, and then the visitors stroled around
the place until about five o'clock when
they left after giving three cheers for the
host and hostess
Kenilworth is about three miles from
Marlton. 1t was originally cranberry
bog, but the land did not seem to be suited
|
naught. Some summers since Mr.. Brick
got the idea of making a camping place
for himself and the pleasant points of the
place became known and others asked the
privilege of joining the summer colony
So the proprietor gave them permission tC
| erect tents and use the place under his reg
! ulations. He furnishes the meals at ratt
which looks ruinous when one recalls the
daily bill Of fare, but he appears to b.
content and there is nc reason why thu
boarder should not be. He contemplate
making improvements before another sum
mer, one of which will be the building O
an additional lake. He already has appli
cations from rs campers who want to COM
e out next summer.
This year there are Is tents, with larg
: tent for general gatherings. There is
large dining room, 45x24 feet, with al
d open fire place for cool and damp weathe
which is known as Kenilworth Inn. Pros
{ pect Cottage is four room frame struc
ture with large open fire place. Their
q are number of campers at the place
! among them Willie Lee York, the China
r man who has frequently been before tn
public gaze.
