1905 Memorial Day at Wildwood
ExceIs all Other Previous Years
Resort was Thronged with People and thea Exer-
cises in Honor of the Naval Heroes were
Very Impressive

Another Memorial day at Wildwood
has come and gone and the one cele-
brated yesterday was the most notable
of any of its predecessors. Fully 25Oo
people were brought II by the railroad
trains from Philadelphia and South
Jersey points. The first section, con-
tanning twelve cars, arrived shortly
after ten O'Clock. The second section
arrived a few minutes afterward with
seventeen cars loaded down with
people, many being obliged to stand.
The Millville band accompanied the
last train and upon its arrival mere
marched through the streets and III
their natty white uniforms enlivened
the neighborhood with their music.
HOUSES DECORATED
The cottages and business places
were prettily decorated with flags and
bunting. The many visitors spent the
morning on the broad ocean board
walk, and inspected the many i'm
provements over the entire island.
The Casino and New Ocean Pier were
open for the day with refreshments
and varied amusements and all the
hotels entertained many guests at din
ner and the numerous restaurants and
cafes that have appeared lately were
simply swamped with business, the
crowds taking them by surprise.
NEW PIER INSPECTED
The principal point of attraction
during the day was the new ocean
pier at Poplar avenue, built by Buck
born & Reynolds, of the keystone
Leather Company, Camden, N. j., at
a cost of $150,000. The new building
was thoroughly inspected and many
we're the EXPLANATIONS of delight and
satisfaction at the attractive design of
the building and its beautiful COM
partments for the entertainment of
the public. All these were COM
mented upon enthusiastically by
those who have watched the steady
progress of Wildwood year by year.
THE MEMORIAL EXERCISES
The Memorial day exercises were of
the same nature as those of previous
years, except that the May Pole dance
was given on the beach instead of in
the park. At 100 o'clock the process
sion moved from the borough hall led
by the band, and following it were
scores of girls and boys carrying
flowers and flags, marshalled by Mrs.
Latimer r. Baker, Mrs. Chas. A. Nc
Williams, Miss Mary Baker, Miss Eva
Washburn and Miss Lois Worden who
trained the children for the days eX-
e~rcises. A number of Civil war veter-
ans were also in line. The procession
then marched to the end of the Casino

pier where the acknowledgements of
thousands of people assembled on the
boardw walk and on the balconieslof the
Casino, strewed the f1owe rs ion the
ocean in memory of the fallens naval
heroes, a custom that originated in
Wildwood twelve years ago..and3which
has been in vogue ever since. The
party then marched on the boardwalk
to the new ocean pier, where the ipro-
gram of vocal and instrumental music
and speaking occurred. The exercises
were presided over by j. Thompson
Baker, Esq, one of the founders of
Wildwood. The speakers were Rev.
J. Eugene Deitterich, A. NJ, of Phila-
delphia, at whose suggestion the GUS
tom of strewing flowers on the water
in honor of the naval heroes was first
instituted at Wildwood, and Rev. l..
ID. Stultz, d. d., of Bridgeton. Miss
Rosalie Washburn, Wildwood's sweet
voiced little songstress, delighted the
audience with a couple of selections,
and Mr.. Carl Haswin, of Holly Beach,
recited most admirably the "Star
Spangled Banner" Mrs. f. A. Breck's
song, "Wildwood, Beauteous Wild
wood,u set to music of "Onward
Christian Soldiers" was sung, as was
also "Wildwood-by-the-Sea, " the new
song by Miss Lois Worden.
GROWING OF MAY QUEEN
The exercises of the day were con-
Guided by the May Pole dance on a
platform near the Casino, where the
pretty exercises were carried out by a
number of small girls dressed in white,
and which terminated by encircling
little Rosalie Washburn with a gar
land of flowers and her companions
declared her the Queen of May. This
exercise is always a beautiful one, and
the friends of Wildwood who witness
it year after year never tire of it,
RAIN. MARRIED THE DAY
The weather of the day vas not of
the best. The morning was beautiful
and warm, but before loon the wind
veered to the northeast and a mist
enveloped the air, making it quite UNI
pleasant. Late in the afternoon heavy
clouds gathered and just as the first
excursion train pulled up to the sta
ton a downpour of rain came that
drenched many people before they
could get aboard the train. The ac-
commodations for shelter at the sta
ton at a time like this was found to
be inadequate. Many women dressed
daintily in white were wet to the skin
and must have had a most uncomfort-
able journey home. Added to these
conditions was a scarcity of cars and
many ladies were obliged to stand
in the aisles.
