New Workers are especially fortunate in the sizzling dog
DAYS, in commanding easy access TO the entire chain OF seaside re-
sorts from Long Branch to Cape May.
The fine service OF express trains maintained by the Penn
sylvania Railroad between New York, Long Branch, EIberon,
Allenhurst, Asbury Park, Ocean Grove, Spring Lake. Sea Grit.
and Point Pleasant not only serves the convenience Of the casual
but meets the requirements OF the daily traveller. The night at the
shore is the business mans bracer.
The weekend at Atlantic City or Cape May, and the many
delightful points intermediate, appeals TO the pent-ups Of the cities
and the ease and comparative chespness OF the trip ensures It's
realization.
Atlantic City is bur three hours from New York by morning
and afternoon trains, and a half holiday train on Saturdays; Cape
May is only four hours away, via North Philadelphia. Back in
New York Monday morning fresh for business.
The three exits from New York. West 23d Street. Desbrosses
Street, and Cortlandt Street Stations, and the Fulton Street Station
at Brooklyn serve all sections Of the great City.
These little outings whether for the night, the day, or over
Sunday are tonics for the days work.

the reporters who saw him on were; THE

From a political standpoint those who
have watched his welcome here regard it
as frosty. An evening paper declared
tonight that Gov. Guild. taking his tip
from President Roosevelt and United
States Senator Lodge, has avoided lending
any encouragement to the Fairbanks
Presidential boom by not appearing in
public with the Vice President for fear that
courtesy might demand a tribute to him.
II Is cited as a fact that the Republican
Governor OF Massachusetts did not even
