AT POPULAR WILDWOOD.
Mandolin Orchestra VIII Be the
Feature This Week.

Mandolin Orchestra VIII Be the
Feature This Week.
The wonderful popularity of Wildwood
this season has been very encouraging to
the management, which has spent great
deal of money and time in the enhance
ment of the attractions of the resort. The
beach has been so improved by dredging
and sanding that it is now the finest
bathing beach in the state and the new
bathing houses, opened for the first time
this season, are models of cleanliness and
utility.
The fishing at Wildwood has also been
sterling attraction this year.
The chutes have also been just as pop
ular as ever with bathers, and it is worth
the trip to Wildwood to see some of the
bathing girls take the apparently perilous
but really harmless swoop from the top
of the chute into the water.
That deservedly popular musical organ
ization, the Twin City Mandolin club has
been re-engaged by the management for
two concerts today at Wildwood. The
Mandolin club has more friends among
the patrons of the resort that any musical
combination that ever played there, a
fact chiefly due to the admirable dance
music furnished by this orchestra. The
Wednesday and Saturday evening dances
will be continued, and Wolff and Barrett
will, as of old, supply the inspiration.
AS an additional musical attraction the
favorite team Wolff and Barrett will be
heard all next week in their musical spe-
cialties, which are among the best ever
heard at a resort of this character.
The management has arranged for a
grand pyrotechnic display to occur at
Wildwood Friday evening. This display
had been intended for the Fourth of July,
but it was unavoidably postponed on ac-
count of inclement weather. The display
includes a variety of French pyrotechnic
novelties.

the coming season under his management

Nine. Sembrich will be supported nv an
admirable company, and it will be the
endeaVor of the management to give per-

cities of the United States and Canada
