The Wildwood basket ball team
showed some old time form Friday
night last, at the New Ocean Pier,
when they had for their opponents the
strong Camden five. The game started
with q rush and when Wildwood
scored first a foul goal by Ferat the big
crowd present stood up on their hind
legs and howled. The game was surely
fast, and clever floor work by Wild
wood kept Camden's tricky players
from landing the ball in the net; the
tIrst half ended 1nrHlfla % "a Y, but ia

Up and down the boardwalk, in fact
all over the town, sounded the merry
jingle of silvery bells last Thursday
night. Where did they come from and
what did they cost was the questions
from those who were so unfortunate as
to not attend the Thursday evenings
children's Party at the New Ocean
Pier. The beautiful rolling chimes
made a hit with the long line Of "young
unsp who formed the gift march. The
singing and dancing of the several
little folks was very enjoyable. Little
Holly" did a pleasing toe dance with
spirit and vim. Katherine Matchett's
dance, aThe Dainty Dames,n met with
favor, also the buck dancing of the
Underwood sisters. 'Bernice Knott
sang and danced won't you be my
Honey?" in a splendid manner, and
Master Norman Thompson with his
singing of the "Girl who threw me
down. brought round after round of
applause. Dancing to Rushton's
orchestra followed.
A Teddy bear dance last week at the
Ocean Piers Beautiful Floral Ball
ROOM was an event that drew a goodly
number of dancers The souvenirs given
at this temple of terpsichore are the
talk of the town.
The patrons of the Ocean Pier roller
rink enjoyed several races there last
week. Messrs. Harry Garrigues, NAL
colin hurry and G. Starn entered for
the Invitation race for a gold piece. 1t
was holly contested from start to finish,
hurry winning by a fast squirt on the
last lap. The Boys race Thursday
night was another that seemed to
please all present. Lyle Campbell,
Bob Long, Willie Willets and Jimmie
Wilmot were on the job, and the way
the kids tore around the circle would
have made older racers look to their
Iaurels. Willets secured a lead in the
first lap and held it to the end.
