with cargo of the luscious fruit but
got stuck on the lower end of the bar
when near her destination. Capt.
Ludlam and his life saving crew and
the Captain and crew of the Polly
Page came to the rescue and soon
brought her safely out of her plight to
the landing where she soon disposed
of good part of the peaches and what
was left was sold at the Ottens canal.

"Mirabile dictuu" wonderful to be
told. There was decided improve
ment in the train service of last week
and particularly noticeable was it in
the arrival of that $40 evening train.
We hope it will continue so. The i'm
provement was made even before the
JOURNAL of last week was issued. We
were reminded by it of the story of the
man who lost his dog and went to the
newspaper office and ordered an adver-
tisement to appear III the next morn
ings' paper; when he came home before
evening he was astOnished on seeing
his dog sitting on his front door step.
My, o my, said he, | had no idea that
an advertisement would bring results
that quick. Now if the Railroad Co.,
will take notice that the frost is out of
the ground and has been for some time
and will lay that pavement at the sta
tion it will be another improvement
in the public service. The general
understanding here was that it would
be done as soon as the frost was out of
the ground. 1t is, and it will be per-
fectly safe to lay that payment. Now
we wish we could say the same of the
improvement in the lighting of the
streets. On Monday the lights were
burning brightly and we were con-
graduating ourselves like the man with
the lost dog but-instead of improv
ing it grew worse, the next night al
ready it was only partly good the fol-
lowing night it went off and on all
over the place; before ten ii went out
and staid out then one night we had
none at all and one night none after
midnight. If variety is the spice of
life we certainly had spiced service.
1t makes one feel like calling the light
ing Co., names. Speaking of names
the most graceful creature is the cat
and the most awkward bird is the
duck but it will not do to use this fact
in calling woman pet names.) 1t
takes strong minded man not to be
veXed at such service but candidly
speaking we men are not what we
used to be- you see we used to be boys.

What a number of elopements there
are announced in the papers. An elop-
ed couple wrote home that they were
married; the reply they got was "Don't
come home and all will be forgiven. -

A number of friends gathered at the
Anglesea club house on Sunday and
celebrated the birthday of the young
champion 420 pound heavy weight,
Some of them were quite able amateur
musicians and displayed their talent
on the joyful occasion. When his "cor
pulence" took an ocean dip, several
bathers became alarmed at the sudden
rise of the waters.
There was a collision of the trolleys
on Friday evening about 7.30 O'Clock;
two cars running in opposite directions
struck each other at 18th street; several
passengers were slightly injured; the
avenue was well lighted on this evening.

Well, we are surely lucky in our ap
portionment of weather on Five Mile
Beach; with the exception of Saturday
we nave nad no nlnurance from passing
the time out of doors and even on Sat
urday evening one could enjoy the
boardwalk to the full extent. Is there
any spot more favored | would like to
know? Echo answers No, No, No
On Sunday quite number of visitors
again came to the fishing pier The
yacht Lille, of Longport, was the first
boat to sail out before the excursion
trains arrived with a fine body OF
young men stopping at Hotel Scott.
A lady buying fish asked how is il
