much enjoyment. 81 was suddenly call

wildwood Crest

Plenty of entertainment is to be
found here with which to while away
leisure time, by the throngs of cottagers
and visitors that are summering here.
Among the chief forms of amusement
are the high class vaudeville rerfor-
mances that are given in the Crest pier
theatre, which, under the new manage
ment is rui mig some of the best shows
that have ever been seen OIL the island.
Many visitors from all parts of the
island attend these shows and stand
ing room only il the usual rule at all
performances, both in the afternoon
and evenings.
Many young ladiss
delphia and Camden that are members
of the Wildwood Crest sewing circle,
an organization that was formed here
a short time ago, met at the home of
DR.. William E. Richardson on Law
ender Road, on Monday last, and
outlined plans for the disposal of the
numerous pretty little articles that the
circle has made during it's summer
meetings. The new organization was
formed for a worthy purpose, and
many persons will doutless be benefited
by the charitable inclination of its
members.
the prospect for the continuance of
the wonderful growth of this new
resort were never brighter than they
are at present, and the number of new
cottages that will be erected here before
the next summe season will make a
new record for resort development
that will amaze even the American
world that is accustomed to wonders,
for new locations are being selected
every day by persons who have con-
tracted to build, and with the number
that have selected ground, and those
that have already started to build, the
number of new structures will likely
reach close to the hundred mark.
Frank A. Mershon, who recently
completed a pretty cottage on Myrtle
Road, neal Pacific Avenue, has begun
the erection of another handsome
structure on Wisteria Road, near the
Pennsylvania Railroad station, which
promises to be a credit to the locality.
Warren E. Biscoe, a Philadelphia
contractor, who recently disposed of
his pretty little lake side cottage, near
the Holly Beach Yacht Club, has had
the erection of another cottage begun
on Heather Road. above Pacific avenue,
which will be finished as speedily as
possible during the delightful fall
weather.
w. E. Rawson, of Philadelphia, has
had the foundation laid for a beautiful
residence on the boardwa front near
Palm road which will be when COM
pleted one of the finest buildings on
the island.
Miss Lizzie Ozer and Miss Irene
Young, two charming young ladies of
Camden, are visitors at the residence
OF Richard Rilatt, Heather road, who
are delighted with the beauties of this
new resort.
Miss Jane E. Roberts, a very popu-
lar young lady of Frankfort, Philadel-
phia, is spendinga week at the shore and

HIGH PRICES OFFERED
FOR CONVEX ZION SEATS

All the Denver papers tell of remark-
ably high prices being offered for tick
cts of atlIilssiO to the democratic na-
tiOnaI convention. Thousands o. pe0-
,pIe who had not secured tickets In au-
vance made effort to gain ndmis-
sion to the auditorium at every ses-
sion. As result, spectators who
could get hold of one or more tickess
easily sold them mt from - to $50
each. The Denver Republican stntes
that one broker Wednesday dis
posed of 1,5OO worth ut fancy prices
In two hours. He refused nm offer Of
where he got his tickets.
One great disappointment to many
people was the ruling by Sergeant at
Arms Martin that no passout checks
We're to be issued and that the seat
tickets should be taken up at the doors.
This order meant that only one person
may use a ticket while it had been
taken for granted all along that one
ticket could be used to admit several
different persons. The idea was that
the original holder could show his
ticket at the door retain it with the
seat coupon. view the proceedings for
whatever length of time desired. then
pass out and give his ticket over to an
other, who could use it in n similar
way
1t was figured that probably doz-

INTERESTING
EXPERIMENT

Quite an interesting and also n very
valuable test has been made by WILL
lam Shenrman for Ed VI. Hardy, man
nEcr of the seed department of the
Grand Junction Fruit Growers Assoc
ciatfOn.
Mr. Shearman took 10 pounds each of
Acme. Early SiN-WeekS. White Ohio.
Eureka and Red Triumph potatoes and
planted them all on the same day. and
each variety has now come forth with
a hill of potatoes. Mr.. Shearman dug
up each hill and kept the varieties
separate all being taken from the
ground the same day
1t is an interesting fact to note the
difference in size and the other dis
tinguishing characteristics of the re-
spective hills, all planted the same
day in the same sort of soil and all
harvested the same day.
The hills are on exhibition at the
seed store, and it will be of interest
and profit to all growers to call and
see the exhibition.
Also n sample hill of each variety
when IL has reached maturity will be
shown.

The Atchison Globe tells of three
young men who entered Jasper Coffey's
apple orchard south of town. and
helped themselves to apples. They had
gathered about two bushels when they
started toward the road which leads to-
ward town. With their burden of de-
licious fruit, they trotted merrily along,
the while complimenting each other on
their stratagem and craftiness, when 1t
comes to the smooth art of stealing.
But pride goeth before a fall. In the
distance the thieves saw the owner OF
the orchard driving up the lane toward
his home. 1t was then too late for them
to HE away toward concealment. There
was only one thing to do. Enter the
presence of the owner and deliver some
Shabby excuse for the apples in the
basket and in their pockets. With faces
covered with deeply dyed bushes the
three approached the owner. 1t took
great deal of courage to do 1t, but they
did. They feared the wrath to come.
He opened his mouth and the thieves
trembled They expected doom to pc

owner began: "1 see you got Few

was all that was said But 1t was
