fishing interests which attract the
most casual and indifferent visitor, is
the possibilities of the place as a on-

The many Philadelphia commuters
from this resort state that after the
first of July the annual tickets will be
withdrawn and nothing but the
straight monthly ticket calling for
daily trips sold. The comment Is gen.
eral among the commuters who have
cottages on Five Mile Beach that such
a step would be a most serious blow to
the allied resorts.
Various business men in the Angle
sea section are discussing ways to en-
large the shipping capacity Of the fish
station, as 1t does not meet the needs of
the constantly increasing demands of
the place. This week there has been
several hundred barrels of fish leave
this place and Holly Beach; $50 barrels
were shipped from the latter place on
Tuesday. Two carloads of fish went
direct to the New York markets.
These fish are being taken by the sew
eral pounds off this place. The recent
bad weather has greatly hampered the
hand line fishermen. Last Sunday
there was a little northeastern blowing
and several hundred Philadelphia fish
ermen were disappointed, as only the
Vaud J., the Queen City and the Mar
tindale dared to venture outside.
A good one at zoe a pound, Goth Cen
