The outing of the Philadelphia con-
PETITIONERS and bakers, who came to
North Wildwood in q special train last
Sunday was a most enjoyable event.
Fully 300 Of these business men spent
the day by the roaring sea, and while
they arrived in the midst of q heavy
rain storm, the sun soon shown forth
and changed the day into one Of per
fiction. The candy makers made
their headquarters at the Wildwood
Yacht club on the Ottens canal, like
wise at the yacht club annex and
scattered through all sections of this
beautiful resort enjoying to the fullest
extent it's many advantages. The

trains on their way to Philadelphia
stop at the fish wharves and dailyhaul
thousands OF pounds of fish to Phila-
delphia.
The copious rains of last week did
much to rejuvenate the lawns and gar
