various other improvements needed at the
Beach which could only he successfully in
sututed by an incorporated body and the
taxation of the citizens of the town. The
hope is, therefore, freely expressed that
such a condition may be realized at an
early date.
Card parties and informal dances have
been the only entertainments during the
past week. The damp east wind which has
prevailed for some days past has no doubt
Influenced the indoor entertainments. The
new dancing pavilion was especially re-
constructed for this purpose and was in
closed in glass. During the day. however,
there We're several launch parties. Messrs.
l. ID. keane and James Ford. jr.. two
Washington young men now stopping at
Capt. Richardson's, gave a launch party
during the week to few friends at the
Beach. The through Back bay and
its connecting streams was somewhat of
an innovation to most of the party, and
the trip so thoroughly enjoyed that
such outings will doubt become a popu-
lar feature of this seasons pastimes.
Among other Washington members of the
party Miss Whaley. Mr.. Edward
Roche, Mrs. Miller. Mr.. Joseph Pagan Mr..
Debs Arnold. Capt. and Mrs. Richardson
and Mr.. A. c. Weaver.
y great deal of interest is being aroused
in the entertainment to be given in the
Princess Anne Hotel tomorrow night for
the benefit of the rectOry fund of the E,pis-
copal chapel and the affair promises to
be great success. Nearly all of the lead
ing society people at the Beach are pat
roneSSeS. Miss Jean Wilson, the elOcutiOn-
list, and Madam Bishop, both of Wash
ington, will each render selections during
the evening.
The church this year has steadily grown
and Is now in an excellent condition. The
interest taken in its welfare is not only
shown by the permanent residents, but by
the visitors also. During next week a
bazaar will be held for the general fund
of the church. and later on in the season
several such entertainments will be given
for various improvements now under con-
temptation. The services during the sum-
mer will be conducted by the Rev. f. B.
Miner of Norfolk, and in the near future
Bishop a. n Randolph will visit the church
and confirm large class now undergoing
instruction.
