The fifty-third annual outing of the I ] New Jersey Ediiqrla] association was beld at Lake Minnewaska, Ulster ! county, fccY.. from Friday, June 25, to Monday, June "J8. This place was 1 selected because of its great natural beauty and advantages as a place of absolute rest and quiet. ■ The party, numbering about 116 and I made up of the editors of New Jer- 1 and their wives, left New York I morning on the steamboat Rob- J ert Fulton of the Hudson River Day I This boat Is the newest and hand- 1 •omest of the Albany line.

I conntrj-. At New Poltz carriages from I ' | the two hotels at Lake Minnewaska. the ; * Wtldmere and Cliff House, were in j j waiting to convey the party to their ! i destination at the top of the mountain. I The carriage ride consumed about five j * hours, but the country traversed was t so delightful In Its primitive beauty I , that none thought the Journey too I. long. Across the Wallklll valley, dot- ' ted with farmhouses, the trip led up B the mountain side, the road winding like the letter 8 to avoid as much as u possible a steep ascent. All along this mountain road are precipitous cliffs, tuge rocks, gurgling streams and falls 1 and cascades of pure aftd sparkling 1 j water. ) Rest After Long Trip. Upon reaching the lake, which is 3 1.800 feet above sea level, the members of the 'party were assigned to , their yams either at the Wildmere or I Cliff Honse. The hotels were not reached until Just time for dinner, and In consequence of the long Journey and the natural fatigue Incident to the trip 1 no eutertalnment had been provided for the evening. Saturday morning was devoted to carriage trips over the manyvlijterestlng drives radiating from the mountain's summit. The most popular trip was to Lake Mohonk. The road -from Lake Minnewaska to this popular resort stretches for several miles along the side of a mountain. The Wallklll valley, with Its Tintrhott -if ,.r.A green and , !

ripening grain, lies 800 feet below, and I above the road tfae ragged cliffs to the ! height of several hundred feet- gome ; o? the bowlders project far out over I the drive, and the roadway Itself seems 1 to have been chiseled out of the rocks. I One of the wonders of this road to every one who travels It 1s that such ! I a driveway sbnnld ever have been j i thought possible along such a high i I and precipitous cliff. | leaving the Undercilff road, as It la called, which takes a practically! | level course along the mountain side, j there Is another winding climb up the j j mountain to Lake Mohonk. The scene | tliat greets the gjt^here Is almost lm- | I possible of description. Minnewaska i j marvelous for Its natural beauty. I | but at Jlobonk the work of nature has ; murvelouxly enhanced by the of man. Here are well kept , of natural slope, flower gardens I abounding In variegated foliage and a large hotel filling every want that mor- ! tal man might desire excepj intoxicants. Across the lake from the hotel i Is Sky Top, rising majestically from water's edge and affording a mag- j ntflcent panoramic view of the surrounding country as far as the eye i see. Business Meeting Held. ' Saturday afternoon the business ' meeting of the Editorial association t

Atlantic Highlands journal. On Saturday evening the annual banquet was held. After the guests had partaken of the excellent menu provided by Proprietor Smiley addresses were made by Assemblyman W. W. Smaller of Somerset county and Rev. Dr. John Handley, district superintendent of the New Brunswick district of the New Jersey Methodist conference. George C. Gnnn, the newly elected president and J. Lyle Kinmonth, the newly elected vice president were Inducted Into office. Mr. Gnnn In assuming the office pleaded for the co-operation of every member of the association In making his administration a success. At the conclusion of the banquet the members of the party gathered in the hotel parlor , and enjoyed an Informal program of - vocal and Instrumental music. Snnday was a day of rest. No carriage riding Is allowed at Minnewaska that day. but the more ambitions of the party took walks to various places of Interest. In the morning Dr. Hand conducted a religious service and preached a very able sermon on "The « of God Are Perfect." The com- i ments on the sermon from people all j the country who were stopping ( at the hotel filled the hearts of all the .Terseymen, and particularly the | friends of Dr. Handley. with pride. In the evening Mr. Smiley, proprietor c of the hotel, conducted a service of 6 song and praise. Dr. Handley gave a < j short talk on "Why Men Do Not At- c tend Church" and then threw the I j meeting open for discussion. The re- ♦ •(

From Kerhonk- • | son the trip was by rail to Kingston. j through the beautiful Rondont valley. ' | An hour or so was spent at Kingston. j and passage was then taken on one 1 ; of the Hudson river boats for borne. I To those unfamiliar with Lake Mln- | newaska a word or two of description might be Interesting. It is located on that part of tlie Appalachian mountain | range known as the Sbn wangunk i ' mountains, where an estate of 7.000 acres Js owned by the Smiley brothers. One br.-th.-r has charge of the Wildmere and the other the Cliff House, just a-ross the lake, giving personal attention to their guests. Mohonk. another estate of 7.000 acres, is owned by an uncle Of the Smiley brothers and one of two brothers who founded both these famous mountain resorts. All through the hills of the Minnewaska lake region .are driveways and paths leading to points of great natural beauty. The development of this : ragged country has been possible only i »h a expenditure of a vast sum of I money. Good Place For .Quiet Outing. ' Lake Minnewaska kr indeed "far from the_madding crowd." and every -

" nature provides. The elder Smiley ; laid down strict rules when the place was established, and these rales are ' strictly adhered to by the succeeding | feneration. The hotels are conducted on strictly temperance principles, and 1 dancing and card playing are not allowed. One wopld think that such | rules as these would be irksome, but 1 euch does not seem to be the case at Minnewaska. Visitors there soon become convinced that the rules are not due to narrow minded nesa, but spring from sincere and honest conviction. In the hotel parlor, at the bottom of a crayon of the elder Smiley brothers, is this Inscription: "Aa For Me and My House, We Win Serve the Lord." This tells tlie whole story of the seemingly rigorous rules of the place. The Proprietors not enly profess religion: but strange as it may seem In these I they actually live it and the I moral atmosphere at their hotel Is as as the air that one breathes. . The view from this mountain top needs be seen to be appreciated. On one side of the Sha wangunk ja the beautiful Wallklll valley and on the other the park-like landscape of the Bond out In the distance are the of the Hudson, the Berkj Shire hills, the Green mountains of and the Cats kills, a scene of indescribable beauty and ehm-m There would be something wrong with the makeup of an editor who, after spending three days amid such c uw spenoing inree aaya nmti such
