Public Landing Campmeeting

The Public Landing Camp Meeting
Committee reports that the data in hand
indicate large attendance from Wor-
cester, Somerset, Wicomico Counties,
and Accomac County, Va, while Balti-
more, Washington, Pittsburg. and other
distant points will be represented.
The ministers and others report from
Baltimore, Philadelphia and other points
that notice was given TO them too late
to procure very large attendance. for
the very reason that many persons pro-
cured in April vacation for July. The
Committee believes that five hundred
persons can be drawn from Baltimore,
Washington. Philadelphia, and the West
next season, by beginning the work in
time, il location can be obtained. On
account, therefore, of being too late to
draw hundreds from far - way points,
the Committee will be at some disad-
vantage in making expenses. which must
be made if the camp is held next sea-
son. For these reasons, the public is
cordially invited to patronize the camp
meeting boarding tent. refreshment
stand, and other stalls, for these are its
chief sources of income to defray ex-
penses. Do this, and next season. the
produce required to feed hundreds from
distance with the local crowd added,
will benefit the farmers of that section,
who have vegetables, eggs, poultry,
milk and butter to sell. 1t will also
benefit boat owners and liverymen, and
thus benefit citizens of Worcester, in
GLIDING its county seat. Some persons
are coming from Pennsylvania to look
at farms while attending the camp. The
Committee believes it can draw scores
from our Western States, and extreme
cold climates next season with the end
of locating in view. Hence, to patron
ize the Committees stalls and aid in
making an annual camp assured will be
of mutual benefit. This is also true of
concessions granted on commission basis.
viz, photographer tent, post card
view of pier and bay stall, ladies' and
gentlemen tents for bathing suits and
rooms, and lodging tent.
In order to provide something to eat
within the reach of all, the Committee
will sell ham and egg sandwiches for 5
cents each, short lunches Is cents, ordi-
nary meal % cents, extra meal so cents.
A lodging tent with unfinished berths
will be pitched to accommodate those
who live too far away to come and re-
turn same day. Only berths will be
provided without mattress or substitute
pillows, etc. What little may be needed
in August may be brought in buggies
or otherwise. Lodging rs cents or 81 40
per week. This will enable many to
procure lodging and special rate for
meals by the day or week. To enable
the Committee TO have berths enough
for all, it will be wise to make applica-
ton at once giving dates when berths
are needed to Public Landing Camp
