ton last Sunday and had a day of and
in absenting himself forgot to turn off
the spigot and let the water run. AS
in early morn the report came that it
had been and was raining in Philadel-
phia it was expected that the number
of excursionists would be small, but in
this respect we were much mistaken,
for come they did in regular and spe-
cial trains; no doubt many expecting
that as usual the weather, while un-
favorable in the city, would be all
right here. But the weather was such
as to make one change his belief, for if
ones e. pectation was flair / see'' it
soon was converted into "sad you see."
Notwithstanding, the steamers went
out from Grassy Sound and a number
of boats from here with passengers to
fish.
Fishing and bathing, as well rs crab
bing, were good this week and many a
one made use of the fine beach for this
purpose. All along the landing pier
board walk and on the beach front of
the life saving station could be seen
men, women and children with poles
and lines and many a Cape May goody
and other fish were landed.
A great many came to Five Mile
Beach on Saturday afternoon; the
trains were crowded and many made
their way to the hotels, boarding hou-
ses and cottages. The trolley cars were
crowded in the afternoon with parties
going from here to Milo wood, Holly
Beach and the Crest, and many from
these places came up to Mace's pier
and amusement place. There is as
fine a show of moving pictures as can
be seen anywhere.
The conductors and motormen who
formerly stopped to get a drink of cold
water at the Maple avenue pavilion
get the needful at private cottages who
willingly do the kind act.
William Leickhardt, a retired whole
sale druggist of Nashville, Tenn, and
his daughter were guests of Mr.. and
Mrs. n. r. S. Yewdall.
Mr.. and Mrs. N. R. s. Yewdall, ac-
companied by their nieces, the Misses
Chrissie and Gertrude Murray, left here
Non Monday for a trip to the mountains
Aof northern Pennsylvania, to return to
Anglesea in about two weeks.
William Parker, a nephew of the
Houghton and McIntire families at
Harwood cottage, and his wife, Mrs.
Laura Parker, with their little daugh-
tiers, Evelyn and Lorraine, were at
Mace's pier several times. They are
located at the Renova in Holly Beach,
where they enjoyed a vacation before.
The little ones enjoyed themselves ever
so much at Professor Roselle's chill
dren's dancing parties in the floral hall
at the Ocean Pier. They with little
Marie McIntire were all together in
the grand march and proud of their
souvenir prizes 80 generously distrib-
uted.
A Pittsburg visitor thought that
Mace's boat landing was all there was
of Five Mile Beach, when he was in
duced to take a trolley ride through
the place to Wildwood Crest. He
opened his eyes with surprise and ex-
claimed II had no idea of the extent;'
this is the place for me.
Don't forget the apron sale at the
bazaar of the Methodist church at An
glesea in the rooms on Mace's pier.
1t is a delightful affair, the ladies i'll
charge having done everything to make
it SO. 1t began yesterday and will be
continued this Friday evening. Do
not stand on the point Of going, but go
there at once and you will never re-
greet it.
Mrs. Elizabeth Palmer, of Llanerch,
Pa, is with Mr.. and Mrs. File at their
Columbia cottage. Mrs. H. S. Doane,
with her two daughters, after spend
ing a week delightfully."- at this cottage
left for her home in Philadelphia on
Monday.
The ice plant has been kept busy
in supplying the big and smaller boats
with ice to pack their big catches. The
Neptune, Hazelmore, Monmouth, Lee
nora and John Leonard brought in
great loads and the others had salts
factory ones, and they consume a great
quantity of ice in shipping.
A frequent visitor in a hurry to board
a train to go home was injured, being
struck about the chin. He was taken
to the Hotel Royal where DIR. Mace at
once attended him and exercised her
medical and surgical skill. Her pres
ence here among us is a boon and she
has plenty of calls for her services and
