SLAUGHTER BEACH.

One of the most severe electric
storms of the season passed over this |
famous bayshore resort last Sunday |
afternoon. The storm came up rapid |
ly, as a result of which number OF |
automobile parties were caught on |
the beach. The hotel propiretors and |
the cottagers provided ample protec-
tion for them until after the storm had
abated.
As the Chronicle goes to press one
of the largest crowds of recent years
is enjoying Big Thursday" along the
waterfront of "Old Slaughters." I'm
like the crowds that go to Bowers and
some other of the bayshore resorts.
the big gathering of people is prOvid-
ing amusements for itself At the
other resorts fakirs provide a source
Of amusements for the crowds. The
old country fiddler, together with the
Jig dancers, were in evidence A G
few years ago they were seen in num- a
oers; but now only few Of the older
)nes are left. "
The fishermen haven't been catching b
many trout during the past few weeks y
md this week has been no exception. L
Several seins have been hauled but
I
aught at any one time.
George Grier of Milford, who is a N
uest at the Hotel Grain, is posing as
ne of the resorts heroes this week. W
he cause for this chestiness is the
act that, unaided, he pulled two young ye
ldies who had gone too far into the 81

eedingly modest in relating the story
his thrilling rescues. Z
