On Saturday the Cooper Battalion
broke camp and departed after a very
pleasant time, expressing themselves
as highly pleased with their s%ojourn
here and expecting to repeat their visit
and to spend their vacation with us as
they have done for several years. They
will always be welcome for they have
added considerable to the many attrac-
tions on the island. There is no deny
ing 1t the soldier boy always attracts
notice. The old military song well re.
lates the feeling towards him. o, there
is not a trade agoing, worth showing
or knowing as that for glory growing
for the bold soldier boy. And every
where they go sure you know, friend or
foe will have the hand or toe of the
bold soldier boy. And every street
they march through, the ladies III be
looking arch through, the window
panes to search through the ranks to
find their joy. While up the street
each girl you meet will look SO shy and
cry, my eyer! oh isn't he a darling,
the bold soldier boy.
Friday of last week was a gala day
in Anglesea on the occasion of the In
Inquirer cup races. There was a great
crowd of enthusiastic people of all ages
to view the contest. Great credit and
praise is due to Chas. Mace for the
labor and expense be showed for the
accommodation of the public and his
new boardwalk proved itself as highly
useful and necessary for the enjoyment
of such affairs. The weather taking it
all In all was propitious. Mr.. Mace
had provided two grand stands which
were made use of by the fair sex and to
the surprise of many were given free,
but you know how king. hearted he is
and devoted to this pI ounhe is a
jolly good fellow and 1zfae
patronage he gets
more, for not only
any boast of his generosity but nothing
pleases him more than to see residents
and visitors comfortable and happy.
The automobile garage in the rear of
the Ottens Hotel is under roof and
rapidly nearing completion.
Sunday was a glorious day again for
this place and the weather being fine
and it having been hot in Philadelphia
crowds came down to enjoy the re-
freshing breezes which we did have
and the boats were soon filed and the
yachtmen's heart made joyful. Here
again Mace's boardwalk and long
wharf made its usefulness apparent,
the filling Of the boats being able to be
done with much more expedition and
comfort than before. There were more
than fifty car loads of passengers
brought during Sunday morning.
On Sunday evening Wildwood board
walk is the great attraction with its
music, promenade, etc. The trolley

People who come to the seashore for
the benefit of their health will never
attain what they seek by staying up
till the midnight hour and then re-
naming abed till 8 or 10 o'clock in the

using up the time in this senseless
manner. What is more glorious than
to see the sun rise as if out of the sea.
Then a walk through the quiet streets
either to the boardwalk, the beach, or
back along New York avenue Oh Beach
Creek, inhaling the fresh air and scent
ing the wild flowers along the paths,
seeing for instance the rich purple wild
pea blossoms crawling along. A brisk
walk with the brisk breeze will give
you an appetite enough SO to say to eat
a mule and chase the driver. This is
certainly better than stepping right out
of bed and at once to proceed to the
dining with a half feverish
stomach rebelling against the partak-
ing of more work unprepared.
Quite a number of excursionists came
to Anglesea and Grassy Sound on Mon
day morning and a number of boats
and steamers with a big number of
men aboard went out to the fishing
banks and made good catches. One of
the finest catches was made on Mon
day by N. r. s. Yewdall who went
with MIR. McCarty Of the Anglesea Life
Saving Station. 1t consisted of four
