ANGLESEA
Continued


without feeling lonesome or tired.
Whether it be Ange-ea Wildwood,
Holly Beach or Wild wood Crest, each
has its own peculiar attraction and
recreation. Anglesea, its prime fishing
equalled by no other place on the
coast Wild wood, its lively and appro-
pirate amusements and entertain
ments; Holly Beach, with its Swedish
fishermen, its ocean view, and its Rio
Grande bridge, and Wildwood Crest,
the wonderful, where one sees fine
buildings, stately ocean pier, and
model hotel in place of barren waste,
as it was yet last fall. North Wild
wood, too, may well lay claim to be
just the place for comfortable, healthy
and attractive homes with its beauti-
full lawns.
If you want to see nature in its wild
state come up to Anglesea where lot
of pioneering has to be done yet, and
will repay every labor bestowed on it.
As to weather, how much have we
to be thankful for when compared with
the reports from so many places where
rain and storms have done so much
damage and made stay so unpleas-
ant? How many times, when visitors
arrive and are asked how was the state
of the weather from where they started
they reply, at poured on our way to
the train;n while here we are having
gentle breezes and mild temperature,
and not raining at all, making outdoor
life not only possible but pleasant. 1t
seems as if the capes, like a wedge, di
vide the storms, and send part up the
bay and the rest out to sea.
The house owned by Mrs. Cresse, at
5th and Pennsylvania avenues has
been sold and repaired, the ground
around it relieved of the weeds thereon,
and is now occupied 10y young couple
with one child, an interesting little
boy.
The tents at lst and Pennsylvania
avenue, opposite the Windsor hotel,
with the ruins of the fire of one year
ago, reminds one of the scene of the
San Francisco earthquake. An enter
prising Yankee might put up sign
board and start an exhibition as such.
One of the visitors at the tent tips the
scales at 240 pounds, but is outranked
bv young occupant of the Anglesea
club house who can throw, apparently,
hundred weight in.
Mr. and Mrs. Samuel j. Palmer, of
Ashbourne and Elkins Park, Pa, are
visitors at J. J. Files Columbia cottage
at 9th and Pennsylvania avenue, en-
joying the breezes and the view all
around the place. If you want to see
a beautiful scene of flowers this is the
spot where one can obtain the best view
of the acres of blooming wild hybiscus
or hollyhock, white and all shades of
pink. Moses Banks has cleared quite
a number of lots of high grown weeds
and other obstructive growths, making
this locality look much improved. 1t
would be well if other owners would
do the same thing with their lots, it
would make their value more than
double, and that at comparatively little
expense.
Little Marie Mcintyre still reigns at
the Gibbs cottage.
Mrs Frank, of Philadelphia, is visit
ing at the Swartz' cottage on lst ave-
nue..
The fair of the Baptist church was,
in spite of the weather, productive of
good results. A splendid doll was Civ
en- away to Miss Jessie Eldredge, of
Wildwood, who had collected S17.05.
Miss Dewey, of Baltimore, had collect
ed Sl2.11 and deserves great credit for
her eXertions. Little Isabella Corson
collected $40 and got the smaller doll.
Mrs. Johnston, who resides in Mr.. Me
Carty's house, won the fancy embroid-
cry piece The Methodist church peo
pie hold fair this week, on the 10Th
and 18th, at Chas. Mace's pier, where
they will have a fine selection of fancy
and useful articles, among them
splendid silk quilt, as well as a num-
ber of other valuable goods.
Good catches of fish are the order of
the day. On Sunday the three special
sections of ID cars each brought lot of
fishing enthusiasts to the boats, and
large audience, brought from all parts
of the island, was at the pier to greet
them. There is notable change on
the arrival of the trains. The passen-
gers very sensibly wait till the train
halts at the station and go to the land
: ing quietly and orderly, instead of
jumping and racing as if dear life de-
| pended on getting in the boat first.
