This season has developed the fact
that Wildwood needs one ofthe biggest
and best bands in the country. The
Chester Military band under Leader
Oglsby has made hit here this season
and has played good music but the
statement of one of the Wildwood
Ocean Pier proprietors to the effect

HomeopathicHospital benefit recently,
could barely play the upper harmonies
on his violin and the strings kept him
