Grand Opening Of the Crest
Ocean Pier

The real opening Of the Crest amuse-
ments begins Saturday, July 4th, with
the opening of the Crest Pier and its
added attractions and amusements.
Professor Tomasino, the leader of Tro-
Ilio's famous Royal italian band, and
we'll known In musical circles as an
eminent composer of music, will again
lead his musicians In a way to delight
the listeners and music lovers. The
musicians Of the band are noted for the
excellent rendition Of all their selec-
lions, and 1t is enough to say that even
the most critical musical expert will
appreciate their return. Geo. Gleaves,
Of Trenton the famous champion bowl
er, will again have charge of the alleys
and pool tables-A fact which will be
appreciated by those who have met
Mr.. Gleaves In previous seasons, and
who are acquainted with the courteous
manner with which he manages the
sports and games. The alleys have
been placed in first class condition.
Mr.. Gleaves will also have charge Of
the candy kitchen and that fact assures
the public that only the purest and
freshest dainties will be sold. The
Mirror Maize, a feature added last year
Is a mirth provoker and peals Of laugh
ter radiate from the room every min
ute. An electric piano is noted among
the latest addition and 1t Is to the
frequenters Of the ball room that this
especial feature will appeal most. The
latest patent roller skates have been
placed in the skating rink which 10 the
only rink nov on the island. Skating
parties and carnival nights will be
among the attractions there this sum-
mer. Under new management the
theatre will open Saturday evening
with the latest and best photoplays
and a change Of program will be made
daily. To accommodate the little folks
and make it unnecessary for them to
remain from their beds until a late
hour the management have announced
that there will be daily matinees.
Additional ventilation has been secured
by a change in the air spaces and cool
ness will be one Of the slogans OF the
entire building. Hires and Bowen
who were popular last year as dispen-
sers of ice cream, sundaes and other
delicacies appealing to the thirsty are
again in charge of that department.

Samuel Solver, an Anglesea fisher
man, last Wednesday, found a three
year old boy floating in the vicinity Of
the fishing wharves. He was coming
in after q days fishing when he
noticed an object In the water. Get
ting close to it he was surprised to see
1t was q little boy. He pulled the un-
conscious little fellow aboard and has
tened to shore. DIR. Kelchner, Of the
Emergency hospital was sent for and
the lad was removed to the institution
where the pulmometer wasapplied and
he was allowed to leave the hospital.
II is u Of the most extraordinary
cases in history. The lad was uncon-
scious iH the water and for q half hour
after being rescued. What kept him
afioat in the water and how he got
there is one Of the seven greatest mys-
teries. He is the son Of John M. Hill,
of 2444 Carpenter street, Philadelphia.
He was found In 30 feet Of water. DIR.
Kelchner says that the only possible
explanation for the boy being alive
and we'll today IL that when he fell
into the water the breath vas knocked
out Of him. In this way his little
body fioated on the top Of the water.
