identified himself with the progress
Of the county by going into the
cantaloupe business. 1t is, per
haps, not saying too much to asser,
that Mr.. Garwood has done more
to develop the cantalonpe in
dustry than any man in the Arkan

ception OF Senator Swink. While
engaged in this work he was ten.

THE GLORIOUS FOURTH OF JULY
A WONDERFUL RECORD BREAKER
The Grandesf Time Wildwood Has Ever Experienced Crowds of
People, Sports, An Ocean Yacht Race and a Grand
Display of Fireworks in the Evening.

Beautiful Wildwood! 1t does not
take an artist to picture or to paint.
There is something in the air, in the
sky, that tells the people "Here in
Natures Observation-Disclosures" you
may come and enjoy the delights of
seashore life. Back of us is the wood
land, where the invalid can inhale the
ozone from the sea and the cedars, and
recuperate; where over fifty varieties of
wild flowers grow, and lovers of Flora,
may enjoy the delights of wandering
through the groves. The old, the mid
dle-aged people and the young find
rest and pleasure here. Rest and plea
children, God bless them, find enjoy
ment in digging in the sand and let
ting the ~white-capped breakers roll DER
them, tickling their toes, while parents
delight in their prattle.
The Fourth of July-lndependence
Day-was grandly observed. Thou
sands of visitors enjoyed the band con
certs, on the streets, hotel verandas and
beach %pavilions, the performance of the
Spencer Stock Co. at Bakers Audi
forum in the evening, the brilliant
pyrotechnic display on the beach front
at llRDl, anu TIE HullSIOuS ulspldyS
in front of private cottages.
The athletic exhibitions OF the beach
in the morning were witnessed and
enjoyed by thousands on the grand
boardwalk, and the yacht ace in the
afternoon afforded more sport. While
eight boats were entered for the ocean
exhibit, there were five starters from
the Wildwood casino pier and SO beau
tiful, exciting and interesting, was tn
affair that the judges awarded a tel
dollar cash prize to each of the captain
of the pretty yachts, SO close was eac
at the finish. The Rupert was the res
winner and would have received tn
prize had not Captain Mathews III
thoughtedly disregarded the rules il

The racers included the yacht mora,
Captain Herbert Shivers; the Rupert,
Capt. g. b. Mathews; the "Adalene,
Capt. Risley; the "Lillie,o Capt. j

Basket Ball at the Casino

The first basketball game of the sea-
son will come off on next Tuesday
night at the Casino, when the Wild
wood boys will meet the Ginder Stars,
of Philadelphia, on the home floor.
Former games go to testify that this
will be an exciting one. Two years
ago we defeated the Ginders. Last
year they came out victorious after a
fast game. On Tuesday night Wild
wood will place a strong combination
on the floor, and what is more, the bal
ance of score will no doubt be on our
side.
The lineup will be mostly composed
of players well known because of their
former records here and elsewhere.
Frank Hoagland is a member of the
Medico Chi of Philadelphia, and last
year played guard on the wildwood
team. He will play again this season.
Carl Harris, who played such a fine
game at the South Jersey Institute, of
Bridgeton, N. j., and was captain
this year, will add his ability to the
seasons lineup. He played forward
on the Wildwood team last year.
Arthur Woodward is another we'll
known player who played guard for
w Nv OOo as val. liz io "a Didlll vi
the Camden High School team and
has there many times proven his abil-
ity to play the game with a clear head.
Jack Wick hardly needs an introduce

coach. He is a former National League
player of note and also has played on
both the Burlington and Candle
teams. Wick vsEonc. of the frs
players to toss a ball on Wildwood's

This is the fifth season of the Wild.
wood basketball team. Manager Ros'
ellie deserves a great deal of credit fol
the mastery way in which he conducts
the management Of the team. He will
book some excellent games this season
and it is prophesied that the season OF
1904 will be the most successful in the
career of the wildwood team.
