Pennsylvania Railroad Seashore Excursions. PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD BULLETIN FORTY PLAYGROUNDS BY THE SEA. This is seashore time. The dog days call to the worker in home, office, and mill and the answer brings up thoughts of the many resorts beside the sea where comfort, recreation, and pleasure alike await the coming of the holi- day maker, Along the shores of New Jersey from Cape May to Sandy Hook lie forty beaches, each offering delights for outings long or short and each easily accessible by the splendid train service of the Pennsylvania Railroad. Atlantic City, with its myriad attractions for young and old, needs nojintroduction, for its charms are known from the Atlantic to the Pa- cific. Cape may, for a century the summering place of satisfied thous- ands of seekers after cool breezes, fine bathing, and the refined amuse- ments of the seaside, is more attractive than ever in its new life. Ocean City, Wildwood, Sea Isle City, with their smaller neigh- bors, Anglesea, Holly Beach, Wildwood Crest, Avalon, and Stone Harbor, afford summer pleasure to thousands. To the north lie Beach Haven, Seaside Park, Island Heights and the other resorts about Barnegat Bay, where the lover of fishing and sailing finds choicest sport. Asbury Park, Ocean Grove, Spring Lake, Long Branch, Sea Girt, Point Pleasant, Allenhurst, Elberon, and Belmar on the Upper Coast where the country meets the sea right on the beach, appeal with mighty force to the vacationist. Any Pennsylvania Railroad Ticket Agent will be glad to give full information regarding excursion rates, time of trains and arrange your outing whether it befa day, a week or the whole summer. 54-30-2t New Advertisements.
