babies IN the Wildwood parade than
there is In the Asbury Park carnival.
They have a larger number of floats
and spend hundreds of dollars on the
same, bat Wildwood's parade has
always had more babies In line. There
is a willingness on the part Of our sum-
mer visitors to assist In making the
baby parade a success. l regret to
have to have to say that there was not
a single ommissIoner at the parade.
In Asbury Park the officials take q
true interest in the event. The off,
cials OF Wildwood should do all in their
power to assist the committee in charge.
The carnival Is the greatest event Of the
summer S Let everyone get
busy early on the event, lend all assis
lance possible and the seventh annual
Wildwood Baby Carnival will surpass
any like event ever heidi President
HARRISON suggested that the Board
give DR.. Bagley . vote of thanks.
Mr.. Diamond brought up the qnes-
ton Of having a 81 SO excursion from
Philadelphia to Wildwood, the tickets
being good from Saturday to Monday.
He stated that this train would be a
most welcome addition to the summer
schedule and would bring many addi-
ticnal thousands to Wild wood. His
suggestion was well received and the
matter will be taken up by the railroad
committee. There Is no question but
what Mr.. Diamonds plan will be of
great benefit to the resort. The Idea Is
to have q special excursion train come
down early Saturday and leave Mon
day about 6 o'clock a. m. 1t will take
some little argument to secure this
special excursion from the railroads,
but it is such a worthy proposition to
work fol, that the railroad committee
should do everything In its power to
secure 1t.
Unlike last year, the nominations
for officers were made without any fuss.
The members stated their choice In a
quick businesslIke manner Philip P.
Baker was the unanimous choice of the
memhers present for president. Rob-
ert ]. Kay was chosen as first vice
president; O. I. Blackwell's name was
selected for second vice president; for
third vice president the names Of w.
J. Hasbison and Mark b. Reeves were
cailSd oct; Fl. q. Chalmers was nom
mated for fourth vice president. The
voting for secretary at the next meet
ing will rest between Harry F. Greaves
and Frank l.. King. VIM. q. Todd
was nominated for assistant secretary
and G. A. Norton was chosen with out
any opposition for treasurer. The meet
ing was n of perfect harmony and
the only regretable point was the lack
of members present. Acting-P resident
HARRISON conducted all business in an
impressive fashion.
Reference was made on two occasions
to the Journal reporter. When DIR.
Bagley arose to talk in regard to the
baby carnival and voice his sentiments,
Mr.. HARRISON said: Be careful Doc
tor, the Journal reporter is taking
notes." AT the conclusion of the NOM
nations, Mr.. HARRISON said: 1.-THE
nominations this year were made In
an altogether different than
last year. Maybe the articles In the
Journal bad something to do with it,
The next meeting of the Board will
be held the first Monday in October,
at which time the election of officers
will take place.
Theodore Puff, aged about so years,
died at his home on west Wildwood
avenue on Monday evening. He was
taken i'll while eating at the Vienna
restaurant last Saturday night and
removed to his home. The trouble was
first thought to be acute indigestion,
but afterward it was pronounced APP
pendicitis, and a specialist came down
from the city and operated upon him,
death resulting shortly after the opera
ton. A report was circulated that Mr..
Puff was taken i'll AFTER partaking of
CLAIMS at the clam bake on the beach
Saturday. On the contrary it is said
that he did not attend the clam bake
and had eaten nothing provided for the
public On the beach. Mr.. Puff came
here from Philadelphia about five years
ago, where he was In the grocery and
produce business 10 ,Kensington for
some years. Failing health caused
him to removed to Wildwood, where
he entered the employ Of F. G. Cole.
The past summer, however, he has
been employed as mall carrier here.
He leaves a wife and one son, three
brothers and one sister. Interment
took place in Philadelphia today.
