NORTH WILDWOOD AUTOMOBILE
CLUB WILL HOLD RACES LABOR DAY
A Program Providing for Seven
Auto Events and Three Motor
Cycle Races Arranged

The North Wildwood Automobile
club has been granted a sanction to
hold q race meet on Central venue
speedway On Labor Day. The new
organization proposes to make the
coming event the most interesting aud
successful ever held on the island.
They have received permission from
Borough Council to use the speedway
and by Labor Day that great racing
curse will be as near perfect in CON-
dition for automobile racing as it ever
has been. The club has held several
meetings during the week at their re-
Gently acquired club quarters, the fine
property, 18th and Central avenues,
and committees were named to attend
TO all the details of the coming Labor
Day races. The club has among its
rapidly growing membership a num-
Der of men who for years past have
been closely identified with the auto
mobile trade and automobile racing
events. The president of the new club
is w. Wayne Davis, who has been
identified in an official capacity with
several of the successful racing events
held on the speedway. Mayor Harry
q. Wheaton,, of North Wildwood, is
the clubs vice president. George
Proud, who has officiated as timer and
starter at many big auto racing meets
throughout the country, is also a MEM
Der of the new club. The fine home of
the club has been comfortably and
richly furnished and certainly is a
credit to the island. Auto parties visi-
ting the Five Mile Beach resorts will
always receive a cordial welcome there
and many conveniences will be found
there after a long run from Philadel-
phia or more distant towns and cities.
The house is in charge of a competent
steward. The club house, thoroughly
furnished, will be open TO the public
from Saturday, September 4th to
Monday, September 9th, and visitors
are cordially invited to inspect same.
For Labor Day the program now being
arranged will be an unusually altrac-
tive one and will consist of eleven
events. There will be seven auto races
and a special race to lower the track
record and in addition there will be
three motor cycle races. In all of the
events rich and handsome prizes will
be awarded the winning and second
cars. The racing committee are in
communication with many of the most
notable drivers of racing Gals in the
country and fully expect to see the

COMING TO WILDWOOD
The Greatest Child VioIinist in
the United States

Miss Madeleine McGuigsn, the IA
year old musical prodigy, will give an
exhibition of her marvellous musical
talent in the ball room of Wild wood
Ocean Pier, Thursday afternoon, Sep
TENDER 2, at $50.
1t Is no e%xaggeration to say thst at
40 time in the history of this resort has
there been a greater exhibition of real
musical genius than this will be. Fol-
lowing are a few quotations from the
daily papers concerning her.
The Evening Telegraph says of her:
''This child has been hailed as a musi-
cal prodigy both in Europe and in
America since her ninth year"
The Philadelphia Record says:
"Among the attractions in the musical
line was Madeleine McGuigan, q for
mer student OF the Royal College of
Music, who is considered the best vio-
linist for her age in this country, being
but IA years of age"
The Philadelphia Inquirer says:
1.-THE hall in which the marvellous
young violinist, Madeleine McGuigan,
played was not large enough to hold
the crowds who were anxious to hear
this wonderful IA year old artist. She
proved herself complete mistress of the
instrument alternating her audience
between tears and laughter"
Both the Standard and the ~Indepen-
dent say: Truly a wonderful musician
for her age.n
Her manager, DR.. Hurlong, of Phil
adelphia, a musical enthusiast him.
self, will accompany her on the piano.
Miss McGuigan is a cousin of Mrs. r.
s. Carlisle, wife of the pastor of Holly
wood M. K. church and because of this
relationship the Hollywood M. e.
church is able to introduce this splen-
did child musician to the musical low
ers of Five Mile Beach for the extreme
ly low admission fee of 90 cents. You
could get no such talent anywhere for
less than 81 or eve $3.50. This is a
great opportunity to hear real talent.
Also in connection with this, there will
be some of the best local talent; MI.
Richer OF the Wildwood Manor, the
violinist; Mr.. Clifford Vaughn, the well
known boy pianist and his sister, Miss
Pauline Vaughn.
All this for the small sum of thirty
five cents. The proceeds will be ap-
piled on the debt of the Hollywood M.
e. church.

Stopping a Train.

An old locomotive engineer was once
asked within what distance 1t was
possible to stop a train that "a run
ming at a speed Of sixty miles an hour.
He answered that with air brakes. Hit
tie wind and dry rails 1t could be
stopped within a quarter Of a mile, but
the distance would be greater If the
rails were wet and a strong wind was
blowing from the rear. With dry rails
and a strong wind blowing from the
front. the stop could be made within
less than a quarter Of a mile. Much
would depend, he said. on the way the
air brakes we're applied. II they are
put on too suddenly they VIII ..pick

NEW KIND OF AWNING.
Novelty Consists In Fact That Any One
Can Hang II.

Where 1t was once necessary to
await the pleasure of the upholsterer
or some man of kindred trade before
awnings could be hung In the spring
the genius of a Philadelphian has
made 1t possible for a householder to
hang his own awnings. This man has
designed a plan whereby an awning
can be put up or taken down in a few
minutes. At the top Of the window
at either side are hooks, on which a
bar of wood is hung. This bar has a
row of other hooks along its length,
adapted to receive the top sean of the
awning, which is equipped with

rabbit, who was a lazy fellow and said:
~ don't need to die for water.{ The
dew on the grass is enough for ME-
"The other animals were not pleased
with the rabbits remarks. but they set
to work to dig the well. They noticed
that the rabbit kept sleek and lively,
although 1t was still dry weather and
the water was becoming low In the
well.
"The other animals suspected that
the tricky rabbit was stealing the W "a
ter at night, and they made a wolf \
pine gum and tar and placed 1t by the
we'll to frighten the thief. That night
the rabbit came, as he had been conn
ing every night, to drink enough TO
last him al. the next day. When he
saw the queer black thing by the we'll,
he inquired:
who's thereT
"But there was no reply. The rab-
bit came nearer, but the wolf didn't
move, so he grew drawer and said:
"'Get out of my way or I'll kick
you
"Still there was no reply. Then the
rabbit kicked with his hind foot SO
hard that it was caught in the gum,
and he could not move. and there he
stuck until the animals came for water
IN the morning. When they discov-
cred the thief they had great sport
wei him for awhile and then prepared
to kill him. But as soon as the rabbit
was released from the tar wolf he
managed to escape"

Referring to an editorial in these
columns last week about catching
rodents, subscriber who is an expert
trapper submits the following sugges-
tions: "Set you steel trap along the
side of a wall where the rats or mice
are likely to travel. Don't bait the
trap. Take a board from three to
ten feet long and lean 1t up against
the wall over the trap and then be
patient. A few days at most and you
will get them one by one until all are
caught. Always smoke the trap over
a hot fire after catching a rodent, so
that the next one will not be apprised
of the fate of its predecessor by the
odor." Good advice and worth
following,
