A clothes pin social will be held at
1888 w. Spicer avenue on July 16 for
the benefit of the Cosmopolitan church,
Holly Beach.
A laughable event took place Friday
evening last at the ocean pier rink,
when an African Scramble was served
up 10 amuse the patrons of that popu-
lar place of amusement. Several husky
gents of ebony complexion kept the au-
dience In a roar of laughter for a quar-
ter of an hour with their comical en-
deavors to master the gay, festive roll
lers. A half-mile dash, plungiDg head
first over hurdles, galloping madly over
the floor bucket and broom in hand,
chasing an elusive rubber ball and div
ing through barrels were a few stunts
that made the spectators scream and
the contestants feel all in, down and
out.
A grand march on skates held the
floor at the ocean pier rink last Satur-
day night. Arrayed with caps of the
national colors, a long line of skaters
followed the lead of Miss Hester For
cum and Prof. Roselle through the sew
eral intricate evolutions. The effect
was very pleasing and many requests
were made to have it repeated.
Dixon and McNeece, the juvenile
roller skating artists, entertained a
large and appreciative audience at the
ocean pier, Fourth of July afternoon.
Young Dixon is a new here, but
Miss McNeece will be remembered as
being here last summer. The pair APP
peared in fancy and graceful skating of
a high order and without doubt are the
equal of any team of older years in the
country. Jos. Brown, their manager
and Instructor, is to be congratulated
on the splendid showing these young
people on wheels make.
The beautiful floral ballroom of the
new ocean pier opened last Saturday
with o record breaking attendance.
The beautiful and unique decorations
were the subject of much favorable
comment. $50 different from any
thing we ever saw" was the pleased
expression of a number of happy dane
ers. Encore after encore greeted the
number of latest dance selections rem
dered In the usual snappy style by
Rushton's orchestra. Prof. Harry W.
Roselle was In charge of the floor. This
is the professors tenth season in Wild
wood.

Your Fault are the two plays Messrs.
Stanford and Western have selected to
please the Baker Theatre clientele,
week of July 18th. The Black Flag is
an intense and emotional drama, full of
stirring climaxes and has a powerful
and interesting plot. Mr.. N. q. Good
win, the celebrated American actor,
starred In The Black Flag three con-
secutive seasons, playing the extreme
Iy humorous role of Lazarus. Critics
pronounced Mr.. Good wins conception
of the part wonderful, and claimed 1T
was his greatest achievement. VIM. q.
Carr, the clever and popular character
comedian of the Stanford & Western
Stock Co., will be seen in Mr.. Good
wins role. He played it here two
years ago and made o pronounced hit.
The balance of the company will be
happily cast.

WONDERS OF HYPNoTISM
One of the most novel and interesting
exhibitions ever given here will be pre-
scented at the Casino pier rink begin
ming Saturday evening July IL. A
young woman while under hypnotic
control rises in space and floats in mid
air, seeming in direct violation of the
laws of gravity. A large force of car
penters and workmen have been busy
during the past week Transforming
apart of the rink into a coy audience
room. An attractive front entrance is
rapidly being put in place and what
promises to be a most successful amuse-
ment venture will soon be ready for
visitors.
