BOYS FAIR.
| The recently organized Elwood Fife
and Drum Corps opened their first fair
very auspc:ously in g. A. R. Hall on
Monday evening. The attendance was
quite large and excellent business was
done. The young lad, friends of the
members of the corps presided over the
tables that were loaded with candy, fruit
and fancy articles The object of the fair
is to enable the members of the corps to
purchase uniforms. The fair will con-
tinue until next Monday
THEIR SAFE RETURN.
The three fishermen. Jesse Horner, Viii
| liam Gallagher and John Homan, who
were supposed to have been drowned
while outside fishing on Sunday after
noon, relieved the anxiety Of their friends
by returning home Monday morning.
They went out after weak fish Sunday
morning at s O'Clock, and it was late in
the afternoon when they pulled in their
lines and headed their staunch little
yacht, the Mayday, toward Longport.
| When they passed out over the bar in
| the morning, the sea was quite calm, but
on returning they found the breakers
very rough and the mouth Of the Great
Egg Harbor Inlet was filed with foam
capped waves. Several times they
headed their little vessel toward the Inlet
and attempted to pierce the "break, z
but without avail. Each time they were
hurled back, the yacht shipping much
water, and several times nearly capsizing.
Finally giving up the attempt to land,
and darkness coming on, they headed the
yacht out to sea. In theo boat with
out food or water and with no protec-
ton from the cold wind, they spent the
night. They cannes in over the bar on
Monday morning after the heavy sea had
subsided and it is not their desire to
have similar experience.
