rowing mother, Mrs. LeoEoBa Smith of

OCEAN PARK, July 19.-Anticipating
the adoption of an ordinance by the city
trustees next Monday night calling for a
special election to decide the disincor-
poration question, the local trade organi-
cation is making arrangements to hold
a mass meeting on the ocean front, be-
ginning at the time that the board goes
into session, for the purpose of ratifying
the action of the trustees should they fix
a date for the election.
That a change of sentiment is gradu-
ally coming over the people of Venice
who several weeks ago were most active
among the disincorporation workers, is
evident from the present trend of con-
versaticn in public places in the gondola
city.
Dissatisfaction at the lack of organiza-
ton, which leading spirits in the move
ment have made no apparent effort to
remedy, is probably the foremost reason
for the negative feeling that is being
manifested, and which friends of the
trustees believe will become more pro-
nounced as the day of election APP
proaches.
With the exception of David Evans, the
trustees appear determined to make
fight of it, and under the leadership of
President Dana Burks of the board are
expected to wage a hot-campaign to vim
dictate the present administration.
Trustee Evans has stated publicly that
he is not in sympathy with the trustees
rulings in numerous matters and it would
cause little surprise if he came out dur
ing the expected campaign as an active
worker for disincorporation.
Trustees Jones and Robinson are said to
be as strongly determined not to be
ousted from their seats of power as is
President Burks, who has emphatically
declared himself the foe of disincorpora-
| ton, and who has made it known that
workers in the movement will find that
| they have a fight on hand before they
| progress far toward deposing him.
Force Parker, the lawyer member OF
the board while to a large degree non
committal in the matter, is known to be
/ adverse to being fired. and has proved
himself with the majority of the trustees
| in their contentious.

half million dollars worth of it's real
estate, Lorenzo Bye, heir of the famous
Bye estate, has just seen the boardwalk
and Atlantic City beach front for the
first time in twenty years. During this
period he has spent all but a few days
on his estate at South Atlantic City or
in boating and fishing on the bays.
Stirred by newspaper accounts of the
great railroad exhibit at the car build
ers' convention, Mr.. Bye came to Allan
tic City by trolley, sauntered to the
boardwalk, and gazed with the wonder
and enjoyment of a child upon the
sights. Confiding the experience to
friends, he commented upon his last
glimpse of the beach. when sites of pa
latial hotels of today were sage grown

magnitude of the Chalfonte, the Blen-
helm, and the Traymore, and was forced
to ask a policeman to direct him to a
block of his property in the city that
had grown up within ten minutes troll
ley ride to his home. 1t was the first
time he had seen the big piers or any of
the later day improvements.
Mr.. Bye himself does not know the
exact value of his realty holdings here,
although his property interests are well
over 100000. He made no explanation

Duck and her eleven little ducklings have
been the object of much attention in the
finest quarters of the bird house in the
Bronx Geological park for the last few

having eleven little ducks in the park,

particular duck during the Matching pc

a large new building in the park which
Is designed to be the home of the ele-

Gated in the center of "a rather wild part
of the park between the lion house and
the reptile house. Bushes, trees, wild
plants and shrubbery soon had to give
way to the march of the hundred or more
Italian workmen engaged on the job. In
the center of this work, hidden by high
grass, was found the duck nest, with the
mother carefully guarding her home
against the intruders.
The attention of Director William T.
Hornaday was called to the find and he
requested Foreman Coffey to give Mrs.
Duck all the protection possible.
Huge stakes were driven in the ground
around the nest and the top was covered
with boards The men went along then
with their work, and for more than two
weeks have been blasting rocks with
dynamite and driving heavy teams close
by the nest. Mrs Duck remained true to
her trust, and finally left the pest with
eleven little ducklings, having Matched all
the eggs under her except three.
Director Hornaday said this was one of
the most remarkable cases brought to his
attention, for the mallard ducks are usu-
ally very wild. They build their nests
far away from prying man, and when
disturbed very rarely hatch out any
