WILDWOOD, 81; GINDER'S STARS, 70
1dw Basket Ball Team Victorious
In the First Game OF the season
at the Casino.

The Wildwood basket ball season
has opened with a victory to the credit
of the home team. Despite the threat
ening weather of Tuesday evening a
good sized audience witnessed the first
game of the season in the Casino Hall.
The Ginder's Stars, of Philadelphia,
are excellent players, and on Tuesday
evening showed their ability to "basket
the ball." but the Wildwood boys are
better still and consequently landed a
snug balance of the score to their
credit.
Ferat, of Camden, one of the new
boys on Wildwood's team played a
brilliant game and five field goals were
chalked to his credit in spite of the
Ginder's active attacks. Penino, of
Vineland, another of Wildwood's new
players, proved to be an excellent
centre. He knows how to play basket
ball. All of the boys played a good all
around game. AS for the Ginder's,
Ford and Knecht did the fast playing
for that team. The game is but an APP
petlzer of what may be expected before
the season closes.
Below we give the lineup of the two
teams and the result of the game:
WILDWOOD erat, Harris, forward
Penino, centre; Woodward, Hoagland,
guard. Field goals, Ferat 5, Harris 8,
Penino a, Hoagland 2. Foul goals,
Ferat 3. Offences, Penino 2, Wood
ward |, Hnagland 2. Total 81.
Ginder's Stars Bradley, g. Wick,
forward, Ford. centre; Knecht, Kelley,
guard. Field goals, Bradley 4, Ford 4,
Knecht 3. Foul goals, Ford 4. Often
ces, Bradley 2, G. Wick 2, Ford 3,

A Wealth of Auburn Hair.

This is not an advertisement and the
owner of the hair will not have to prove
property and pay charges to recover the
same. A gentleman, located in Wild
wood for the summer, while strolling
down Oak venue Tuesday found a
bunch of auburn hair. Real auburn it
is, too. If the owner lost it she may
have it by applying at the Five Mile
Beach JOURNAL office. If she threw it
away, well and good; the finder will
keep it for luck as a souvenir of Wild
wood and the season of 1904, leap year.
While in this office to-day he said he
had not yet had a proposal from. a
single fair lady and the year vas more
than half gone. He hopes for the best
however.

The Sand Dredger at Work

THE WORK of retaining thirty acres of meadow land back of Wild
wood again goes steadily on. W. H. LeChard, of the dredging firm
of Hess & LeChard, of Atlantic City, is in charge of the dredger,
which during the past month has undergone a thorough overhauhng, and
now has two new boilers in position which will facilitate matters consider
ably. Work was resumed today with a force of ten men who make twenty
four hours a day in shifts of twelve hours each. When finished the founders
of Wildwood will have about gas new lots to be sold att auction to the high
est bidders. On IN other words many of the lots have been barganed for
but at stated times persons desiring choice sites may secure same by bidding
them in att premium.
A large pipe line is attached to the dredger through which water and
sand is forced to be placed on the reclaimed land, and it is hoped the work
will be completed by the middle of September. The cost Mr. leChard
says, will aggregate $4,000. All salt and stagnant ponds will be filled up,
and this fact will have much to do with exterminahng the mosquitoes fam1-
liar pests at all resorts where meadow lands are not filled in.
A sheet of water in the rear will be called Sunset Lake and on 1t parties
can enjoy the sports of sailing, grabbing and fishing to their hearts delight
The improvement will be farreaching in its effect Woodland Wild
wood will Join hands with the beach section, and a grander spot along the
coast cannot be designed by human skill and ingenuity. 1t will be a model
resort on a grander scale and a monument to the genius of Baker Brothers.,
who have been mtning in their efforts o make Wildwood what it is today
the garden spot of coast resorts.

DOINCS in NORTH
WILDWOOD
A Glimpse at the Future OF
This Tract
The Wonderful improvements Which
Are Continually Going On

The improvements which are going
on in North Wildwood delight the eye
of every newcomer. The work of grad
ing and gravelling new thoroughfares
is progressing rapidly and cement side
walks are taking place of sand dunes
with wonderful rapidity. The activity
being shown in identifying the Ottens
tract is also appreciated, and great
credit is also due Henry HI. Ottens, the
originator, for the rapid strides he is
making toward p%opulating his section.
Eight or nine handsome new cottages
are rapidly nearing completion, many
lots are being sold each week, and it is
predicted that inside of two years there
will be a grand transformation scene
all along Five Mile Beach. The pre-
diction is also made that inside of five
years a city will take the place of the
three b%OroughS, with one set of Officials
far the whole island.
All express trains in future, as they
have for the past week, will stop at
Seventeenth street, the thoroughfare
leading to the magnificent new Hotel
Ottens, and buses will convey all
guests to and from the trains. The
management of this popular hotel an
nounces a flattering number of engage
ments for the remainder of July and
August a fact highly gratifying.
A beautiful summer pagoda has been
erected at the foot of the new pier,
leading from the hotel to the beach,
under which bath houses have been
added for the accommodation of guests.
Splendid music by Zimmerman's
orchestra in the grotto every evening
is in itself an attraction, and is highly
appreciated by every visitor. A new
feature has been inaugurated. There
will be a hop every Wednesday even
ing, and progressive euchre every Fri
day evening during the season.
