BOWERS

Everyday brings new faces to this most
famous and historical summer resort and
from the present outlook this promises
to be one of the banner years in the num-
Der of people to visit our shore.
The cottages are all filled at this time.
and the hotels are filling their rooms
with parties that want to be here during
August. From present indications the
hotels will be taxed to their full capa-
city by the middle Of next week. The
! past Thursday at this beach is called
| Little Thursday, and next Thursday or
the second Thursday in August is known
Big kThursday' at Bowers, for which
every person in a radius of twenty miles
have been saving their nickles and dimes
in preparation for a big time at the Bay
shore.
Our citizens have been arranging for
quite programme for that day and hope
to entertain the public to some interest
ing sports on that day.
There Will be boat race on that day
between several Of the boats of this place
for prize; also there will be a first class
game Of base ball between the best teams
the committee can secure both morning
snd afternoon, and these two games will
be strictly FIRST class as the teams the
committee proposes to secure, are sure |
cracker jacks.
On account Of the Inconvenience Of
securing anything strong in the line of /
dunkables in large quantities the COM |
mittee has decided to cut that part out, |
but have instead laid in full supply of |
soft stuff that they promise will be strict
ly ice cold.
