Not member of the Executive Com
mittee of the Farmers Picnic at Washing
ton Park harbors suspicion that i'll luck
is associated with the number that records
the anniversary of the picnics at this re-
sort. There never was more successful
picnic at this resort. There haye been
larger displays of farm crops especially Of
watermelous, sweet potatoes and fruits,
but in the other staple crops the exhibits
were fully up to previous years. The big
exhibitors were the West Jersey Mari and
Transportation Company and Warren At
kinson, the rival fertilizer dealers Of the
county, who exhibited great variety of
truck grown by users Of their fertilizer.
Tie chief exhibitors we're Blasias Bros,
pianos; unique things in glass by Wood
bury Bottle Works.
Wagons and buggies by II. A. DeHart,
Henry Stanley & Sons, William Frech;
implements by s.. NJ Harris and E. ].
Kirk, and many other smaller exhibits.
The weather was simply ideal all day,
and so far as we have learned not an acoi-
dent occurred to mar the event for any ybody.
The park was thoroughly policed, plain
clothes detectives who know the light
fingered gentry, were stationed at all en-
frances to warn them that it was bad day
for their business, the trolley service was
excellent during the morning hours, but
during the late afternoon all cars seemed to
be going to Camden, and hundreds who
desired to make eally trains south from
Woodbury., found means of leaving the
Park infrequent.
