down pour that dampened the enthu-
siasm of the big crowd that came down
on the excursion of the Broadway NJ.
E. church Sunday School, OF Camden,
and the n from Gloucester Saturday
contributed NOR of the wet, condition
followed on Sunday with gentle
showers. Monday and Tuesday added
it's share Of the falling element that
kept away the usual excursion con
tingent. Business men, especially
those OF the boardwalk, reason Of
course, that the weather man has not
been good to them, yet they take the
condition philosophically and grace
fully submit to the inevitable. What
is n mans loss proves another's gain
as demonstrated by the fact that the
theatres and all indoor amusements
are most literally patronized on rainy
days. The days Of sunshine, that are
certain to come, will surely balance
the account of others who are anxious
to see old Sol busy IN the job again.
On Wednesday it was cloudy and
showery. Yesterday, Thursday, the
9th, the sun rose in all its glory, to be
followed a few hours later with cloudi-
ness; the sun appeared again and there
was a half day of delightful sunshine.
