4 CREDIT TO THE BEACH
New HOsteIy Raises Scale Of Wights-
vile Beach as a Coast Resort.

Every Room and All the Other Re-
auisites of First Class Resort
Hotel. the Tarrymoore Cannot Help
But Grow Rapidly in Popularity.
The formal opening of the Tarry-
more, the handsome new resort motel
on Wrightsville Beach, will take place
on Saturday night and at that time a
delightful dance will be given. It is
expected that hundreds of people will
visit the hotel on Saturday night and
see what a high class hotel is now en-
Wrightsville Beach The barrymore
puts the Beach on an equal footing
with the very best seaside resorts en-
south Atlantic coast and the people of
Wilmington will take a just pride in
telling their friends what an up-to-date
hotel they now have. The people Of
Wilmington regard Wrightsville really
as part Of this city and they have le-
gitimate reasons-fOr doing So
Mr.. w. J. Moore, proprietor of the
hotel, learned some time ago that the
Accommodations on the beach were not
adequate and he decided to build ho-
tel He is an experienced hotel man
and every part of the new hosiery
heafsSsgns of having been planned hy
some Sne who knew from actual exoe-
rience what they were doing One of
the chief requisites at any resort and
especially at the seashore is that the
hotels shall have long verandas. Guests
get tired Of walking through the sand
and there are often times when nothing
is more pleasant than to stroll back
and forth on the long porches and en-
joy the refreshing ocean breezes. The
\ >TarEssvJOre in this respect is ideal and
nxZ1e was nothing more to recon-
lg3 it, which is by no means the case,
this would be sufficient to insure it's
popularity.
There are 125 sleeping rooms in The
hotel and Of this number thirty are so
arranged that fires can be had in them
on cold and rainy days. Ninety per
cent. of the rooms are SO arranged tnat
a view of the ocean can be obtained
and there is not an inside room in the
house One advantage enjoyed in the
hotel Tarrymoore is that it extends
across the beach and this causes it to
reap the full advantage of the south
winds and the prevailing breeze on
the beach is from the south. The
rooms are comfortably furnished hay
ing mating On the floor, and rugs,
white enamel bedsteads, oak ward
robes and each loom has a large bu-
reau Every room is supplied with
telephone and guests when they desire
some articles from the Office will not
have to ring for a bell boy and depend
on him delivering the message correct
Iy, but will have direct cOmmunica-
ton with the Office. Not only can the
guests talk to persons in the office, but
they can also talk to the occupant OF
any room in the house
The saloon, two bowling alleys and
several pool and billiard tables are
located in the basement of the hotel.
The hotel is supplied by its own wa
terSIrks system. There are a num-
Der of rooms supplied with private
bath The water is pumped into .he
: tank by a gasolene engine and this cn-
gine is also used to run an ice cream
plant. All the cream used is made
at the hotel.
Guests at the barrymore can know
that the milk served is pure as Mr.
Moore owns a herd of milch COWS,
which he keeps at Wrightsville and
the milk is carried to the hotel twice
a day.
On the east OF the hotel a pavilion IS
being erected and this will be for the
especial use Of ladies and children. Two
naptha launches have been purchaed
and will be free TO all guests, either in
parties or as individuals.
A broad board walk has been built
from station No. l to the hotel and an
other board walk is being built from
the eastern side of the hotel out in the
direction of the ocean. There is no
doubt about the location of the new
hotel being one of the most desirable
on the beach. 1t is not an unbroken
fiat waste Of sand but is in small
-hillocks giving that end Of the beach a
rough look OF course the beach is
perfectly level for some distance from
the high tide mark.
A competent corps of assistants has
been engaged Dy Mr.. Moore. Mr.
Charles eagle, formerly with the hotel
Lafayette, of Fayetteville, is the chief
clerk and Mr.. w. P. Bass, late of the
Colonial Inn, this city, is assistant
Mr.. Oscar M. Canady, who needs lie
introduction to the people Of Whining
h2p, has charge of the amusements.
- 1rchestra which has five pieces
is one of the best which has ever been
on the beach. The leader is Professor
William Hall, of Cumberland, Md. He
is a director of no mean ability and
Mr. Moore was indeed fortunate in Sc
curing him. Other members OF ne
orchestra are, Mr.. Jack Atkins, OF Day
ton. Ohio. Yiolinlst. Mr.. ]. M. MaIley
