The POSTMASTER next introduced the

man whom they had never had the
pleasure of hearing. The judge made
many pleasant pointed remarks and
extolled Cape May County for her

State" and said in brief, in referring
to the gathered diners, that "this is ex-
emplitied by what is being done to-

you do manufacture happiness and
health and make things attractive for
those who come among you and that
the get-together spirit tends to put

doing things and who saw a future
here, J. Fithian Tatem, Esq. was intro

His opening remark was that "they
sent MI. Baker to Congress and put
Wildwood on the congressional map.p
He further remarked that the feeling
in Cape May County was not very
favorable to the public utilities and
that it was ssthe under dog'' as it were,
but it must be recognized as an impor-
tant factor in any community and
that the utilities on this island are a
losing proposition excepting possibly
the water plant, which was lately ac-
quired by the people. He pointed out
the great Improvements in railroad ac-
commodations as compared with the
service years ago and that the co-opera-
ton of the people is asked rather than
the opposition, and that the public
utilities are working with the interests
of this resort. And in conclusion he adj
vised the resort not to- initiate other
places but to be distintive-set the pace
in other words.
At this juncture Walter Beers rem
dered a solo.
