the contestants. The prettiest baby
class, which is always the most popu-
lar, was the first In line followed by
the latest, twins, fancy costumes,
comic, family groups, most artisticaily
decorated baby coach and the most
artistically decorated float, all coming
In the order named. The parade COM
menced at the Casino arcade on the
boardwalk and proceeded to Cedar ave
nue. where after turning into the board
walk the kiddies and their fond parents
marched to the Ocean Pier. The judges
sat in the grandstand, which section
was the most populated spot along the
line of march. There was some little
complaint after the awarding Of the
prizes. Several had gone to great ex-
pense In beautifying their coaches.
These were entered in the prettiest
baby class. The awards are made for
the prettiest baby aud not the prettiest
coach. This should have been thor
oughly explained In advance. Some
folks limited that favoritism was shown.
This is ridiculous. The awards were
made from the numbers and moi the
names. The judges did all In their
power to choose the best In every class.
Everyone can't win and the losers need
not feel discouraged, as it Is impossible
to award everyone a prize. Judging Is
a mighty hard proposition and n
almost as unpopular as q baseball UNI
pire. DIR. Isaac w. Bagley, G. H.
Huppert and the others who worked
SO earnestly to make the carnival a
success are deserving Of much praise.
They did their work splendidly and
should feel that their time and labor
was productive of wonderful results.

Five Mile Beach, the most beautiful
and safest beach in the country, was
the mecca for thousands and thousands
of bathing enthusiasts over the past
week. The many train loads of excur-
sionists in addition to the thousands
stopping here madeth largest bathing
crowd of the season.. The long stretch
of beach that lines Wildwood and her
sister resorts was jammed with bathers
from Ottens hotel all the way down to
the last avenue in Wildwood Crest.
The water was ideal. The breakers
broke in excellent fashion and were
thoroughly enjoyed. The conditions
could not have been improved upon
had they been made to order. From
