will be sure to have a good time, for the
city of Philadelphia is notably able to
be up to date In that line.
The city of Philadelphia has been
tried often in the way Of celebrations
Of a national character and never found
wanting. She has natural advantages
In size, locality, accommodations streets
aud everything else over every other
city in the United States. 1t has

dence of the United States in 1875, the
Bi-centennial of Philadelphia only six
years later, 1882, and of the settlement
of Germantown the very next year,
and then four years later the Centen-

of Celebrations Broad street is with
the exception of Pennsylvania avenue
In Washington, mot Anglesea) the
widest street for parades in existence
and even there it has the advantage OF
being longer.
One of our Swedish fisherman told
his comrade that the celebration in
Philadelphia must be extra attractive
and interesting or why is it called
Founders week.
Mr.. Johnson, who with his family
passed the summer in the McCarty cot
tage, paid a visit to his friend, N. R.. s
Yewdall, on Surf avenue. Mr.. Yew-
dali will continue at his cottage for
sometime yet.
The Murnin family have closed their
cottage on First avenue and Jno. j.
File has closed his on Sixth avenue.
Members of both families will however
come down to Anglesea from time to
time.
Mrs. Corson and her little daughter,
Isabel, paid a visit to her mother off
shore.
The body of the drowned japanese
fisherman who started in his boat from
here to fish in the deep sea was never
found although the boat was picked
up at sea. A few days ago a Jap called
on Captain Ludlam, of the Life Saving
Station, with a paper and claimed to
be an uncle of the drowned man. He
looked very much like the unfortunate
one, it is said, and some thought it
was him returned to life and some
scary persons thought it was his ghost
1.-THE japanese and Chinese all look
very much alike.) The wouldbe uncle
could not however give a satisfactory
identification as to his W person or
relationship and so the matter stands
for the present.
The man of weight, Jno. Slater, of
Philadelphia, and his friends, hold the
fort and are enjoying themselves at the
Anglesea club house.
On Monday night the much desired
rain set in and gave us sufficient for
this place and it was gratifying to read
of its general and generous distribution
all over the country. The lightning in
the west was vivid. The lightning in
Anglesea, north of the board walk, was
not at all vivid, for early in the evening
it played hide-and-go-seek several times
and then went out and stayed out all
night. Tuesday morning and all day
was clear and beautifully clear and
cool.
A large sea turtle was caught and
brought in Tuesday afternoon to Mace's
pier and bought by Mr.. Ottens for his
canal, where with the many other Gu
riosities the visitors can see it, espe-
cially those who use the glass bottom
boat.
