LAKEWOOD, April 17.-As far as
train service was concerned, Lakewood
was isolated from the rest of the world
the greater part Of the week. However,
mo great inconvenience was caused by
the chaotic state of transportation. To
the contrary, many of the visitors were
far from annoyed because Of the situa
ton. The lack of communication with
New York proved in many cases plaus-
ible excuse for the business men who
were here for the week end with their
families to remain and indulge in out
door sports.
In consequence of the tie-up there
was more than the usual number of
visitors here this week. Everything
was done to provide enjoyment for
them.

impromptu tennis tournaments, the
Laurel House Gun Club arranged mid

golf tournaments. Golfers found the
