EVOLUTION IN RESORTS


There is no other resort on the At
lantic coast, with one exception, whose
outlook for the future is so bright as
that of Wildwood It's past-and the
place is but an infant in years-has
been remarkably prosperous. Its
growth has been of that steady, healthy
kind that appeals 10 the conservative.
There has been no rush and boom and
then a halt and retrogre-sion. In the
sixteen years of its development Wild
wood has never eX perienced IA setback,
Dull times have affected its growth but
little. Convinced that the next decade
of years will mean its upbuilding into
a magnificent seaside city, those with
the towns interests paramount in their
thoughts are striving with their utmost
energy and ambition to attain FIR it the
proud distinction of being the Queen
resort of the Atlantic coast.
The evolution Of seaside resorts in
America eXemplifies the spirit of ur-
gency which Is so universal in the
United States. But there is a singular
and resultant cause contributing to this
line of American development that
does not apply in the making of our
other institutions. 1t is that the eX-
travagant energy of our population
brings swift revenges on the devotees
of the dollar-making creed, and drives
the American hustler to seek relief
from the nervous stress under which he
suffers. We never could go slowly.
The reign or curb has never been in
vented which could restrain American
physical and mental activity. Every
thing-climate, easy laws, environ
meni,, the influence of pulsating associ-
atoms converts us into the free-bond-
men we are-free to 60, to he, to do and
to return, but slaves to the Yankee idea
of "getting on in the world.n
IN price we pay for this national
madness is nervous p~rostration and
compulsory rest, or death; it put us i'm
the attitude of the son of Erin who
would have peace if he had to fight for
1t, and it has made a void that cannot
he filled save by residence at the seaside,
where the salt air and the song of the
surf bring rest to the tagged brain and
vigor to the broken body.
WILDwooD's GROWTH MARVELLOUS
There is no country in which COM
petition is SO keen. invention so fertile
and individual activity so strenuous
II general as in America, and this is
the main reason there is no land i'm
which the patronage of places of resort
for rest is so great. When to this great
est of causes for the patronage of re-
sorts for rest and recuperation is added
the rapid increase of wealth and pop
ulation and the improvement of tran
sit, swelling the procession of those
who a afford to go to the seashore
for the sheer pleasure of being there,
the abnormal growth OF Wild wood-by-
the-Sea is not enigmatical.
The Monarch who granted the land
embraced within the municipal bound
aries of Wildwood, through favor or for
frivolous need of the paltry considera-
ton exacted, was as insensible of the
boon he was comforting on the weary
workers who should find rest here as
he was of the splendors ofthe Common
wealth erected by freemen in the Terri
tories he bestowed upon William Penn.
The tremendousness of the difference
, 1905-08-02
philadelphia Press" of June Is, 1905, on Wildwood b ythe-Sea

between the age of Charles II, of Eng
land and that of Theodore Roosevelt
could not be better illustrated than in
the fact that private citizens of the
great Republic live more luXuriously
II delightfully."- now than princes and
crowned heads at the time of the Re-
storation.
Wild woods ambition is not only to
grow great in size, but to remain heauti-
ful in all that nature has so freely Civ
Ell it and man has preserved. Proud
are those through whose efforts has
been achieved the remarkable growth
and popularity of Wildw cd.
To speak of this wave-washed, wood
ed island resort ever touches a lespon-
sive cord in the hearts of its residents
and thousands of visitor friends, and it
is with enthusiasm that they talk of its
pasl and of the great Improvements
tina are TO come in the years ahead.
LOOKING BACK FIVE YEARS
Looking back five Years is convinc-
ing proof hat Wildwood has beer sue
cessful in its ambition to become a
model seaside resort. In those years
the changes have indeed been wonder
full. All alnng its wide, tree shaded
a>enu splendid cement pavements,
smooth and hard, have taken the place
of the mud and dampness of gravel
paths. CURLING of the same suhstan-
tia material greets the eye, instead of
decayed, u~nsightly plauks. The streets
are level, firm and hard, where in for
mer years loose sand veXed the driver
and pedestrian alike. Night is almost
turned into day by many brilliant are
lights which throw their white glow
in Il irnnf ion. Xrl.AEn n c1or
ago sputtering oil lamps did a gloomy
service. A trolley system affords means
of quick transportation to every Sec
ton ofthe island. each front hoard
walk generous in its proportions makes
a promenade that gives to all an op-
%portunity TO enjoy the refreshing sea
breezes and a grand, unobstructed
view of the open sea.
A speedway. n hundred feet wide,
two miles Irng-hard and firm, ex-
tends through a portion of Wildwood's
territory, afiording to the automobilist
and horseman ample opportunity to
indulge in their favoriie pastime,
MANY THOUSANDS SPENT
All these public Improvements have
materialized at Wild wood during the
past five years. Thousands of dollars
have been expended upon them, but
no one regrets the expenditure, for it
has given to the South Jersey coast "a
"city magnificent
SECOND ONLY TO ATLANTIC CITY
From the Philadelphia Ledger, July ., 1905
The rush shoreWard began early III
the morning. Those car lines leading
to the Market and Chestnut street fer
ries were filled with grip-burdened
passengers. Atlantic City proved to
be the more popular rendezvous for the
holiday seekers, although Wildwood
ran 1t a close second. Cape May and
other points of the South Jersey coast
had their following, as did Asbury Park
and other resorts Oh the north coast.
The popularity of Wildwood, however,
is the marvel of the season, railroad
officials saying that the travel to hat
point all summer is only second to that
to Atlantic City.

President,s Dog Killed.

Newcastle, Col, April 25.-Spo;, a
favorite Of the President of the United
States and John COTS premier bear dog,
was slain Monday. He was a fox ter
rier that weighed only twelve pounds.
He tackled a bear weighing 300. Presi-
dent Roosevelt Immediately killed the
bear. A ride of rs miles from West Di-
vide creek to MANN creek and back
Monday Melted two black bears for the
presidential party. The first bear was
killed in the forenoon shortly after Mamul
creek was reached. Just after this kill
ing, Spot took up the trail of the dead
bears mate. She was often st bay and
apparently Spot got out of patience, for
at last he dashed in. One blow of the
bears paw settled Spot.

Disabled Japanese Ship.

London, April 25.--The reports from
Tsingtau, made by the German cruiser
Sherber, that she had sighted a Japanese
nan of war, 10 Formosa strait, towing
another warship, which was disabled, is
regarded here as confirmation of the
theory that a naval battle of some sort
has already been fought in the far East.
The heavy cannonading reported by sew
eral vessels on Sunday night after the
Russian feet left Kamranh bay can be
understood after the news Of the disabled
Japanese vessel. That the Japanese
suffered to the extent at least of this one
vessel seems certain. That R~ojestven-
sky also suffered is regarded as certain,
from the fact that he made straight for
the island of Hainan after the fight,
probably to repair the damage to the
best of his ability. No details of the
appearance of the Russian feet on its
arrival at Hsinan have arrived, so that
nothing can be told of the extent of the
Russian losses.
Naval experts here believe that the
damaged japanese ship is probably one
of Togo's scouts which encounter the
Russian fleet as they left their resting
place in Kamranh bay. The long stay
the Russians made here made it possible
for Togo to assemble a good sized feet
near there if he desired to do so.
1t is doubtful, however, whether any
thing like a general battle was fought.
The fact that both fleets seem to be re-
naming in Chinese waters makes it
probable that other battles will occur in
the near future.
Naval experts here have forsome time
held the opinion that Admiral Togo
would not risk a general engagement I'M
less forced to do so, but would do his
best to harrass the Russians by torpedo
boat attacks. Apparently the Japanese
commander thinks his adversary has
come far enough north to begin the at
tacks and news of such moves on the
part of the japanese is expected at any
time.
London, April Pa dispatch from
Chefoo, China, says that word reached
there from Korea, today that Admiral
Togo with the greater part of his feet
was at Masampo Bay, near Fayan on
April 20.

CathoIics I'm Russia.

London, April 25.--The correspon-
dent of the Catholic Herald at Rome
says that Archbishop Schembrek, the
Metropolitan of MohiIeff and Catholic
%primate in Russia, will go to Rome soon
to confer with the Pope. The Russian
bishops, acting under instructions from
the Car, have elaborated a scheme
whereby religious liberty is insured 10
Catholics in Russia, and this plan will
be submitted to the Vatican, and in view
of the conciliatory attitude of the Vati-
can toward Russia it is expected that a
satisfactory agreement will be reached.
Mohilef is the seat Of a Roman Cath
Ollie archbishoprie near the border of
Poland. The great majority of the
Roman Catholics Of Russia live in Po-
land and the adjoining districts of Rus
STA proper.
