ITEMS AS PICKED UP HERE AND THERE


Sunday was big day on Five Mile
Beach. The weather was clear and
and bracing and the special excursion
from Philadelphia brought over 400
visitors. The board walk came in for
its share of attention even though the
wind blew steady and strongly on the
front. Many sght-seers visited the
new hotels in North Wildwood, noting
the progress of the cement workers on
the exterior finish, and the Crest came
in for a full share of attention. "Sev-
eral years ago four hundred people
coming to the island on spring Sun
day would have seemed like very
large number and would have made
an impressive appearance" said an old
timer, "but now they no sooner arrive
on the island than they scatter in
every direction and are lost to view.
Nowadays it takes a good many
hundreds of people to make a good
showing
