more pressed for accommodations. quite a

their doors, and have taken limited number
/ Of boarders In order to accom- modate those
who wish 10 spend a week or more here.

Ing known as "Big Thursday Week." when
the people from cities and the country alike
want 10 be here. The demand for cottages
was never so great than at the present and

is the place to spend their outing hence the
demand for places and the bright outlook
for rapid development Of Bowers Beach.

as at the present. There are three msrry-gO-
rounds in place and in business. The dance
halls are largely patrOnized of evenings.

company of musicians that give evening
dances and afternoon matinees. The Casino
under the management OF the proprietor Of
Hotel Bilderback, has engaged the services OF

gave their opening a few evenings ago to a
large company, which was very well pleased
with the music and their evening sentertain-
