WILDWOOD CREST

on time ana aIIeT that bHelc was hO
Waiting between incidents-there was
something doing every minute. The
heavy northeast wind relieved the in
tense heat OF q week or sc ago and
made the evening enjoyable and free
of bugs and mosquitoes. Unfortunate
Iy those who represented Indians were
not dressed as such but outside OF that
everything was rather realistic-the
ghost dance, the burning of the cabin
and Indian massacre. The gunplay
was quite severe at times between The
c~ontending forces but the red skins
were finally driven off the fields nd the
affair climaxed with a beautiful dis
play OF fireworks. The production was
under the direction of w. ]. Lilly, lead
er of the Crest band and deserves much
credit as he had about two weeks In
which to train the people who took
part. The Crest through the untiring
efforts of her officials and other public
spirited citizens, has endeavored to en-
tertaln her visitors this season as never
before and it it is q pleasure to know
that their efforts have borne fruit and
it is with many a regret that the season
has come to a close. We have been
asked to state also that Benz. Selgle,
VIM. Bush, Russell and George Ham
burg and p. P. Baker worked hard for
the Custer fight.
