TO HAVE OUTING
LOCAL AUTOISTS TO RUN TO
BERGEN POINT.
Shore Dinner and General Good Time
Planned for Wednesday by New
Jersey A. & NJ. C.

A run to Bergen Point and a shore din
ner at that resort is the treat offered local
motorists by the New Jersey Automobile
and Motor Club for Wednesday night. The
event win be the second club run of the
season, and Indications are that it will
prove one OF the most successful ever held
by the local organization. The response to
invitations sent out by Secretary Horace
A. Bonnell has been unusually large. Mr..
Bonnell Usually counts or double the num-
Der of motorists who respond attending
these meetings. On such a basis Mr.. Bon
nell said yesterday that the attendance of
over 100 local ~autoists was assured. Novel
ties have been planned by the committee
handling the run AS Is the usual custom
with the New Jersey club no formality
will attend upon the run down to the re-
sort or that on the return, the only limi-
tation placed upon the members being
that they gather promptly at 1880. Special
sections of the dining room, which fronts
on the Kill Won Kull, nave been reserved
for the local motorists, so that they viii
be grouped in a body by themselves and
may be assured of good service. There
will be a musical program, both instru-
mental and vocal, during the dinner. 1t is
promised that there will also be some I'M
promptu vaudeville stunts by the club
3NAAAOOA0 n pui dPP&-
thing menu has been prepared for the
occasion. The list of dishes follows:
Clam Chowder.
Steamed clans, butter sauce.
Baked weakfish with boiled potatoes.
Lobster, mayonaise dressing.
Broiled chicken, with fried potatoes.
Tomato and lettuce salad.
Ice cream. Coffee.
Secretary Bonnell has made an especial
appeal to members contemplating taking
the trip to come, rain or saline. The ac-
c~ommodations. both for guests and for mil
chimes, at Wheeler's Shore House, where
the dinner will be held. are ample. Some
of the best times enjoyed by the club
members last year were on those occasions
when 1t rained.
The route TO Bergen Point is almost IN
m~istakable. The club officials
the Turnpike as being in better condition
than the Plank road for reaching Jersey
City. There is only one prominent turn
in the trip. that to the left onto the Hud-
son County boulevard, which leads direct
to Bergen Point. Motorists should be
careful to maintain only a moderate speed
on the boulevard, as traffic conditions and
stringent policing make caution necessary.
Not content with planning the run 10
Bergen Point. the New Jersey club Off
Gals last week discussed arrangements
preliminary to holding events entirely diff
ferent in character. One Of these most
endorsed is a club run to Greenwood or
some other lax on some Sunday the
latter part of the month. The autoists
would lunch at the lake picnic fashion,
each party aking with 1t enough pro-
visions for its hungry members. The club
hopes to make arrangements whereby COT
fee and milk may be obtained fresh at tho
point selected for camping.
Another run much favored is to Olympic
Park some weekday evening, repeating
the pleasant experience the local motorists
enjoyed there last year, with a dinner and
an evening of light opera. No date has
been set as yet for either this or the pro-
posed run to Greenwood Lake, but the club
committee in charge of local runs will
hold a short session at the Point on Wed
nesday to discuss future plans.
