RESUME OF THE WEEK.
Wrightsvdle Beach, July s.
The past week at his popular EzIm-
mer resort has been quite festive. At
one time it "a thought that the ele-
ments had conspired to mar the many
sociables on foot, but, with the excep-
ton Of rain the morning of the Fourth,
and a shower or two tonight, the
weather has been fair.
The most notable day of the past
week was the Fourth, which was glori-
ously celebrated according to pro-
gramme- The n and yacht races
in the afternoon were successes and
very exciting, as several hundred spec
eators viii attest. At night the dances
at the Seashore Hotel and Atlantic and
Carolina Yacht Clubs were greatly en-
toyed by large crowds. A beautiful
display of fireworks ON the beach add
ed much to the attractiveness Of the
occasion.
One of the most delightful sailing
parties this season was one given asst
Monday afternoon by Mr.. r. E. Craw-
ford, the clever of the Sea-
snore Hotel, in honor of two OF h no
tels most popular guests, Mrs. S. j.
PATTERSON, Of Baltimore, Md. and Nil
May Oates, Of Charlotte.
Another enjoyable sailing party took
place Thursday evening, given by Mr..
Charles w. Jones, Of Louisville, KY,
complimentary to a number of the Sea-
shore Hotels charming guests. The
night was an ideal n for a sail, and
the opportunity was certainly embrac-
ed to the greatest extent, as the party
had a lovely time.
Still another sail we chronicle. This
one took place Friday afternoon, and
was particularly charming, owing to
the personnel of the party. 1t was one
given by Messrs. S. r. Wick and w. w.
Wick complimentary to Miss Lila
Young, of Winston, and Miss Della
Clark, of Wilmington.
The dance given Friday night at the
Atlantic Yacht Club complimentary to
the visiting ladies vas brilliant and
joyous. The attendance was a fash
ionable n and decidedly large. In
fact, it is the prevailing opinion that
the ball surpassed far n similar event
in the history of the beach.
Friday was a great day for excursion
folks on the beach, as nearly every
train brought scores Of our up country
cousins, who were delighted much with
the seashore. They saw all that was
to be seen, n had a good time in gen.
eral.
