were greeted with fine weather. In
consequence the boats were oon filed
and sailed In high glee out to the deep
sea. A fine breeze sped them Of their
way and in the afternoon all returned
safely without any mishap to their
starting place. 1t was noticed that
the catches of all of them were satis-
factory. being full up TO the average.
Sometimes it happens that some get
extraordinary results while others get
nothing but it is a great pleasure when
all are able to come in with q nice
number of fish.
There is a man who never pays his
old debts, he forgets them, and as to
his new debts, he lets them get old.
This week has given the %sojourners
at this resort a series of beautiful sun
sets and at night some fine moonlight
scenes on the sea, ~silvering the waves.
The difference between some girls
and other girls is sometimes only a
matter of dollars and sense.
MI. and Mrs. G. f. Wood and
friends, of Dover, N. j., spent the past
two weeks at the home of G. F. Wag-
mel and report having an excellent
time during their s%ojourn by the sea.
On Monday quite a number of wall
eyed mackerel were brought in by the
fishermen along with other fish. Hake
fishing has proved highly successful;
one need not go far in small boats to
capture these highly priced and high
priced denizen of the deep.
Among other valuable information
the Year Book of Lutheran church of
the Holy Trinity gives the tide table.
By the time the Five Mile Beach
JOURNAL goes to press the pier board
walk with all its appurtenances as
planned and executed by Chas. Mace
will be completed and will be a great
accommodation for the general public
in viewing the coming and going OF
the boats, as well as to the many boats
and their crews and the passengers
who wish to sail in them. Mr.. Mace
certainly deserves praise for his un-
untiring efforts to please the patrons
of this place, both as to the fishermen
and those who wish to be amused and
other wise entertained.
One of the fishing skiffs or cat boats
is manned by a Japanee and a Cuban.
At Wildwood there is a pavilion on
the trolley road at Maple avenue In
past years its great attractions were not
only the shade and the comfortable
seats where one could rest awhile but
also the cooling draughts of water that
one could get there. Not only the Wis.,

driver, conductor and motorman stop
ped there and partook of this healthful
refreshment and blessed the parties
who had provided II. The pavilion is
there, but not the refreshing fountain.
The Military Camp in North Wild
wood alongside the Wildwood Manor
Hotel and on the lot between Pennsyl-
vania avenue and the handsome Office
OF the North Wildwood Land Go. is
quite an attraction to all the visitors;
it is quite a large one. The site is a
choice one. The rains did not affect it
in the least. One of the features is the
salute that can be heard all over the
island as early as 6 o'clock in the morn
ing and about sunset. Man is a COM
bative creature and no matter how
peaceful he may be minded there is
something in the spirit stirring drum
and the handling of weapons that APP
peals to his nature. The organization
camped here is the Cooper Battalion
of Philadelphia, 23d and Christian
streets, as nice a body of orderly, able
bodied, intelligent young men as can
be found anywhere, knowing how to
enjoy themselves and how to make
pleasure for others. They have come
here for several years and it is desirable
that they continue to come.
Some years ago the keystone Battery
of Philadelphia, Oh 4th of July morn
ing fired salutes in honor of the day
near Broad and Spruce streets, a very
fashionable neighborhood. Nearby
dwelt an elderly lady who was very
deaf; after the salute firing had con-
tinued for about half an hour she re-
marked to a man servant, John, go to
our front door, 1 believe some one has
been knocking for admission for some
time.n
