worth upwards of 500 the front foot.
Generally farms are kept in the back
ground. Such is not the case in Moth
Wildwood however. where State Sem
ator Henry Clay Wheaton, otherwise
known as the silver tongued black
smith of South Seaville, keep several
blooded COWS.
Senator Wheaton and James Nc
Linden, the well known contractor.
have been wondering why their supply
of milk has been SO steadily diminish
ing during the past several weeks.
After a patient investigation IN the
part of the Senator it was found that
a choice three hundred pound York
shire pig was the guilty party, and to
prove the case Senator Wheaton called
a number of his friends to witness the
morning performance in his barnyard.
Henry H. Ottens being among those
who saw the unusual spectacle of the
big Yorkshire milking the Attorney
COW.
That Five Mile Beach is rapidly be-
coming the mecca for automobiles is
shown by the tremendous number of
cars which travel over the county
roads and stream into Five Mile Beach.
This has brought about the demand
for garages, all of which seem to do a
thriving business even at this early
stage of the season. The latest addi-
ton to the garage situation has been
made by Henry H. Ottens who is
Transforming the large building near
the Wildwood Yacht Club into a
modern garage.
Last Sunday North Wildwood was
alive with motorists, not to mention
the $50 odd carloads of visitors who
came on Saturday and Sunday by
steam. When the cottagers begin to
come in earnest and when the holiday
crowd arrives North Wildwood will
undou btedly need a second garage to
take car Of Its motoring patrons.
On the 2Sth of this month arrange
ments are being perfected for the
visitation of the Confectioners and
Bakers Association of Philadelphia.
Their headquarters will be at the
Hotel Ottens and the Wild wood Yacht
Club and 1t is certain that the crabs
and fish will sadly feel the result Of
their coming. Numerous sports have
been arranged, and Mr.. Ottens, who
is somewhat of a candy manufacturer
himself, will donate several cups as
prizes for these events.
Mr.. and Mrs. Frederick Etonely last
week entertained q large circle of their
friends in their ley cottage recently
completed at 18th street and New York
avenue. The affair was in form of a
house party and the guests of Mr.. and
Mrs. Stonely relished a tasty luncheon
pleasantly sprinkled with music and
laughter. Everybody enjoyed them
selves immensely and are hoping that
the Stonelys will do it again.
The Wildwood Yacht Club held a
meeting last week at which plans were
laid for races for the coming season,
and from the spirit of the meeting all
appearances point to the club taking
