CAMPERS ON
SOUTH SHORE
Tented City" Where Many
Spend the Summer.

and homelike, have been built on the
south shore of Raritan Bay to form
the Tented City," better known as
Morgan 1t is the only summe re-
sort within a radius of about TWEEN
ty miles, and its attractions are much
appreciated by the hundreds CT WIS.,
itors and campers, who come to
and from the place daily. OF course,
the little burg is not like Newport
or Cape May, since it has no colo
naded hostelries, but it is a pleasant
little resort where one can easily
make friends and have a summer of
enjoyment.
There is no possibility that Nor
gan will prove a failure, as the
public does not have to support mil
lion dollar hotels or other build
fngs of grandeur. A tent and foo
will answer the purpose in Tented
City" Dramatically the little burg
across the bay is as favorable as
the other noted seashore resorts.
The cottages and camps are located
Immediately on the shore and re-
ceive the breezes of the Raritan
throughout the day. The fact that
the living at Morgan is homelike
does not lessen the reputation of the
place, as it is highly up-to-date in
its buildings and tents. The only
thing which the little burg needs to
make it a real live place" is a few
more social affairs. The Triton
Club, a party of local boys, realize
this and as a result started matters
Off by giving an entertainment and
dance Saturday night. Many more
social functions of different varieties
will no doubt be had now by other
campers, who need but a IiVening up.
The whole settlement has a long
beach which affords the usual amuse-
ment, especially to the children.
Swimming is II of the popular
sports. Canoes, ROY boats, yachts,
motor boats and the like are used
by most of the settlers. Cheese
quake's creek, which runs into the
Raritan at Morgan, is nearly always
filled with boats.
Most of the campers come from
this city, some being in families,
while others are clubs. There are
several hundred who have their sum-
mer residences at Morgan, but there
are many more hundreds of visitors,
