A PLEASANT PICNIC
The picnic of the Conshohoeken l.lt-
. vary society ai Valley Forge was a
great success on Saturday-—at least as
ia 1 ,.s 1 in won.eii were concerned, The
nun had »ery little to say. They came
home rather sheepish.
It was all caused by a name of base
ball Tlie men had started to play, but
the hot weather affected them so much
thai their actions canned the women to
make scornful comments. This re-sulted
in the retort thai they could
hen the women al the game and not
half try.
This challenge was accepted and a
team formed as follows
Miss Man Johnson, catcher,
Mist i.ola Ferrler, pitcher
Mrs M. F. Stemple, first base.
Mn Joaepb Btemple, second bast
Mis I I Misbler. third bats
Miss laiiniu Wharteiihy. short stop
Miss I'.MI Cavaniigh, fielder
The team of males was composed of
the following:
M. F. Stemple. catcher.
Paul Johnson, pitcher
Al. Koch, first base.
Harvey Fields, second base.
.1 .1 Misbler, iiiir.i baa*
.lay Btemple, short atop

Mrs, Abram Cavanagh was the um-pire
and it is alleged that she favored

There was only three Inn
,.,1 and the score ends 1 5 to 9 In I
ol 11,1 women They were ahead then
and i|iilt No persuasion ,oould gel
them to play another inning.
Thi men had to bat left banded and
could not make many hiis.
when the women came to the bal
there wag fun. if the bal would not
hit the hall they would gral. ii with
their bands, and having i' safely in
their possession would aaii to makl

-At the gay seashore! How ap-propriate
an SKprssBton when applied
to Atlantic City and as) a lallj at this
nine oi >.:n «hen the boatdwalk and

something with which to compile an
interesting letter for but paper
—:o:—
The recent ruling that none 01 the
proprietors of pier amusements can
charge more than oni admission has
been a 1 1 to tbe regular habitues of
Ihese places and especially those whose
I in uiantlc City every summer
means the utmost frugality and ec -
my during the rest of the year. At
Young's famous pier, where you for-merly
paid one admission to get in and
then paid to sec each of Uje various
amusements In addition, you can now
sea the whole business for ten cents
including ■ good theatrical show, all
l.in.ls of music, the raising of tlie big

caused by the low price of admission,
will make the pier even more profit-able
1.1 him, or at least as profitable as
formerly.
One ot the wonders of the shore this
lesson is the "Flip Flop Railway." It
. like a daring enterprise, and
many hesitate before attempting the
trip. You get Into a ear soinewbai
similar to the Old toboggan car. ex-cept
thm the "dasher' conns up over
your lap as if to hold you in When
v.111 strike the lOOP you go around a
big circle like the inside of a mammoth
wheel stood up on edge, and at one
■tage of the 11 Ip yon aw riding upside
down. M in..' Interesting arguments are
heard as to the modus operand!. Some
contend that it is centrifugal force
Which holds the car to the tracks while
moving swiftly along In an Inverted
position, while others are positive that
centripetal foroe is the aeoret, hut it
Is neither. Henenth the level of the
track are two llaj surfaces on which
run sets or rollers attached to the 1 ar,
so that When the vehicle is Inverted it
really bants on theai rollers. Come
down and try It. for it is a novel exper-ience.
Now nearly everybody thinks thai
everybody who goes to Atlantic City
lends much of their time along Ihe
beach or the boardwalk, but this Is an
error ID many Instances. There for
instance is Major Harry Watson, of
the Ledger, that tall, dignified mili-tary
air ot deportment, who seeks the
seashore for rest, recreation and Char-
He May and .-.insiders that tlie crowd-ed
beach and riaJto are no place for
either. Atlantic avenue is thi Major's
favorite promenade. Probably many
