HOW IMPROVEMENTS
ARE PROGRESSING
Wildwood Manor Nearly Com
pleted and Hotel Greylock Has
Reached Plastering SfadC
THE SKATING RINKS ALMOST FINISHED


WILDWOOD MANOR NEARLY FINISHED
A saunter down the boardwalk to
the nearly completed Wildwoo Man.
or in North Wildwood is a pleasant
sightseeing trip. The finishing work
is progressing rapidly as the weather
will permit and shows up beautifully.
The decorative features in modelled
cement tinted a dark red relieved by
touches of a rich green contrast with
the gray white of the body finish
making unique yet very artistic
appearance. The interior woodwork
in rich Flemish Oak and Mahogany
is receiving its final touches while the
dining hall is being finished glossy
ivory white.
Frank H. Taylor, of Philadelphia,
has prepared very fine drawing of
the Manor in ink, which will soon be
reproduced by photographs and used
for post cards, booklets, etc.
THE NEW HOTEL aREYLooKY
The new North Wildwood hotel
the Greylock, is growing with start
ling rapidity. Started but few
weeks ago, it has already reached the
plastering stage, both interior and ex-
terror. The carpenters are still at
work, large force of them, while the
electricians, plumbers and finishers
have been making steady progress
the past week. The heavy rains
dampened things up quite thoroughly
and did considerable damage to the
interior plaster work which has come
off IN large quantities and is entirely
ruined in some parts of the building,
but it didn't dampen the ardor of the
contractors and they will make repairs
Immediately and push the work with
renewed energy to an early completion.
When finished the Greylock will be
handsome hotel with a magnificent
dining hall, hardwood floors, rooms
ensuite and all the modern luxeries
that make hotel life at the shore SO
delightful.
CASINO SKATING RINK
The Casino Skating Rink, it is ex-
pected, will be completed in time to
be opened Saturday evening, May IL.
With 5000 square feet of floor space,
hardwood finish and plenty of room
for the spectators the new floor is a
fine one and Kelly Thresher, the
manager, is preparing to spring some
big SURPRISES soon. The rink will be
bh4Dle, 14 oing every corner of the
building with light. Elmer Clifford,
of Millville, an expert instructor in
roller skating, has been secured to take
charge of the skating. He will give
public instruction in fancy skating of
all kinds beginning with Saturday
night. Another special attraction for
the opening night will be an exhibit
ton in fancy skating by Master Will
liam Tozer, of Millville, the boy Won
der. Roller skating is all the rage
now and the new Casino Rink will
undoubtedly rank among the best and
most popular.

the Wildwood Ocean Pier is about COM
pleted and will be open every Tuesday,
Thursday and Saturday evenings, un-
