operator when asked why he failed to
deliver such an important message at
once said that he didn't have to deliv-
er messages at night. Mr.. Huppert
moved and was seconded by Mr.. Har-
ris that the railroad committee take
up the matter with the telegraph
company and if possible to prevent
another occurrence of this sort. Mo
ton was carried.
Mr.. Huppert then read a letter from
the Mosque of Moradabad, Trenton
lodge, asking the Board of Trade of
Wildwood to give expenses for an
open house meeting in Trenton to
boost the excursion for Wildwood.
1t was referred to the excursion COM
mittee to be answered by them.
Secretary Greaves then reported that
he had raised by subscription the
amount of $3.50 toward a fund of
$1,000 to be paid Aviator Gray for a
series of sixty flights. Mr.. johnson
caused a big fuss at this period by
wanting to know who authorized Mr..
Greaves to collect the money. The
secretary then read the form on which
he had collected the $3.50 by subscrip-
ton, which read that he had been
authorized by the Board Of Trade to
collect the same. Mr.. johnson said
that he thought this was moving a
little too fast. He said that he had
not received any notice of the Gray
subscription and he for one had no
knowledge of it being approved. 4.
Mr.. Harris took a hand in the pro-
ceedings and explained that the Gray
matter had s'come up vel night" and
that Mr.. Greaves had acted in the
proper matter. He said that Mr..
Greaves, instead of being criticised for
his move, should be complimented.
He followed this up with a remark to
Mr.. johnson that it would be a good
idea if he, Mr.. Johnson, would con-
tribute a mite toward the fund. Mr..
johnson then went as high in the air
as Mr.. Gray will ever go, and said no
one could compel him to contribute.
The matter ended by it being moved
by Mr.. Wright and seconded by Mr..
Reeves that Mr.. Greaves and himself
be permitted to use the name of the
Board of Trade in connection with
their work. This in regard to Mr..
Wright's labors on the Red Mems ex-
cursion aud the secretary's connection
with Mr.. Gray's exhibition. This mo-
ton was unanimously carried.
MI. Heinle, at this period, brought
up the question of a municipal pier
for 1915. His suggestion and plans
for the building of the pier met with
unanimous approval. 1t was moved by
Mr.. King and seconded by Mr.. Heinle
that a committee of seven be appoint
ed by the chair to take up the matter.
President Blackwell then appointed
the following members of the Board
as q committee: Mr.. Heinle, chair
man Messrs. Huebner, Huppert,
Wright, Boyer and Baker.
The resignation of Joseph p. Boone,
Jr., was then presented and read and
accepted.

There being no further business be-
fore the meeting adjournment was
taken.
The cross-tire talk between MI. King
and MI. Harris furnished room for
much criticism. It seems a pity that
a meeting of the Board of Trade of the
city of Wildwood could not be held
without petty grievances being aired.
During the course of the evening Mr..
King and Mr.. Harris FLASHED twice.
Mr.. King at one period made the
remark that he was going to drop a
bomb in ssthis same roomn that would
shock Wildwood from Anglesea to
Wildwood Crest. He said that there
was a certain little "clique1 in this
handsome resort that while not per-
forming such wonderful schemes as
has been worked in Philadelphia, are
not far behind. Mr. King stated that
he intended to drop his bomb very
soon. One member in another corner
| of the room said: "Go ahead, don't
talk so much about it, but Mr.. King
is a little deaf and failed to answer the
remark, for the simple reason that he
| did not hear it.
Another clash was apparent when
one of the members asked the question
whether a member had to be in good
standing to talk on the floor. This
developed the fact that one of the
Board was behind in his dues. He
paid up and certainly took advantage
of the privilege of holding the floor.
One good thing done at the meeting
was the motion carried giving Mr..
Wright and Mr.. Greaves permission
to work under the name of the Board
of Trade in the best interest of Wild
wood. These two are toiling night
