resort to other resorts and specially
Cape May, famous old Anglesea con-
tinues to be the greatest fishing head
quarters along the New Jersey coast,
as the many thousands Of daily ex-
cu~rsionists testify. The traffic for over
the Fourth was simply tremendous,
and the many sections OF excursion
trains almost emptied half their cars
In making the two stops at Anglesea
and North Wildwood. To further
point to the fame of this resort for Its
fishing, Henry H. Ottens received a
letter from General Passenger Agent
Bell of the Pennsylvania railroad, In
which MI. Bell states that bis COM
pany had made unusual effort to as
sist the fishing trade of this resort by
scattering broadcast advertising mat
ter In all of the Philadelphia daily
papers and all the filters" all through
the country. The Pennsylvania rail-
road has carried ten times as many
fishermen to Anglesea as to any other
given point along the coast. Mr.. Bell
further states, II assure you we will
see that the interests OF the Anglesea
yachtsmen are protected both by
means of advertising and train service.
This matter was taken up with the
shippers and business men and was
enthusiastically received by them.

Arrangements are being made for a
newspapermen's outing to take place
the latter part Of July Oh the first OF
August, In which all the newspaper
men who can arrange, are to be taken
on a days deep sea fishing trip free of
cost.
The Fourth OF July celebration was
unusual in many respects in that Five
Mile Beach was visited by more auto
moblllsts, If not people, than ever In
Its history. It is said by garage own
ers, many of whom had their garages
stored to more than capacity, that
some tourists we're obliged to park
their cars in and around several Of the
larger hotels.
Among the s%ojourners at the Here
ford House are Miss Florence Moore,
Miss Laura Moore and Mr.. and Mrs.
Frederick Moore. Of Philadelphia;
Aaron Hunter, Benjamin Robbins, Ell
vie Chance and William Cox and wife,
of Mauricetown. Other Philadelphians
include Harriet Evans, George Ashen-
back, Horace e. Vans, w. Shilling,
and Frank F. Lynn.
While the depression in the business
world must be conceded 1t Is still APP
parent that people are not losing their
faith in seashore investments. This
fact Z borne out BY the Vflsnall aFge
amount OF transactions which took
place during the past ten days. Prop
erty to the extent OF $25, 900 has been
sold In this borough during the past
holiday season and at least one half
OF this has been transacted through
Messrs. Farnum and Conner, who
have said that so far as the seashore
is concerned the stringency Of business
conditions in other parts will not have
any effect on this resort.
