Then the excursionists who would sjH-urf a day at sfcacan h»ve\ 'ample train accommodations Tlie Reading Railroad delivers its passengers within a stone's throw of the wharf and makes a point that sufl'cient coaches be provided to enable everyone to have seats which is very desirable after a day's fishing.
