The Chautauqua entertainments will {
close this evening. Guarantees for the 2
amount needed to bring Chautauqua a
back next year are not up to the required C
limit, but it is hoped it will be reached L
this evening. After three years of this b
very instructive course the people of
this neighborhood will hardly be likely
to allow it to sink into oblivion. The [
in some instances was not !
up to that of the past two years, but in T
others, especially the lecture platform, {
was the finest ever presented here. The Z
made departure from the T
usual custom and reserved its best until
the last. The musical portion up to
Friday did not appeal greatly to the

gramme was all that could be asked for. /

The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
has issued instructions to its trainmen to
announce the number of seats available
in other coaches. This order is the re-
suit of an investigation which showed
that while one coach would be crowded
tueIc WOuiu NC dNnlidOlC oCdOo LII OohOi L.
coaches 1t is the determination of
the railroad authorities that passen-
gers shall not be compelled to stand.
This is good move and it is to bel
hoped it will not be confined to the
main lines. Very fire. quently on the
trains running through Mount Holly,
especially the trains to and from
the shore, seat will be noticed with one
or two passengers on it and another seat
occupied by overcoats, suitcases and
other paraphernalia. and passengers
may cast longing glance at the seat
thus usurped but there is nothing doing
so the passenger must pass along or in
many instances, stand. Train crews
might very well be given orders to look
into this phase of the situation. An
other thing that might be given atten-
ton is that of providing sufficient cars
for travel. Last summer the Sunday
excursions to the shore would come to
Mount Holly with every seat taken and
passengers have been compelled to stand |
until Island Heights Junction was reach
ed when there was an exodus of passen-
gers which gave chance to get seat. |
1t is all right to tell how many unoccu |,
pied seats there are in another car, but
if every car is crowded to its capacity the !
announcement will amount to nothing |
less than farce.
