The strong Woodside Crusaders spent
Christmas day On the island and sue
ceeded In splitting eve with the locals,
each winning one game. The afternoon
game was good and spicy and the
Eagles were so bewildered that they
were at no time able to get hold of the
ball. The Crusaders, working q set Of
signals, run up a score of 1918 and
when the final whistle blew It was
greeted with great joy. The evening
game was more evenly matched
and the Eagles working together and as
q team played a brilliant game. The
first half ended lilo favor Of the Eagles
and before the closing whistle sounded
through the hall the Crusaders were
defeated to the tune of32-17. After the
games, both teams were royalty enter
tanned at the Eagles home. 1t Is said
that this is the first game the Crusaders
have lost this season and that they
have won eleven games straight.

Without a doubt the Christmas dis
play, which is electrical, ofBert Davis
on Lake Road, Wild wood Crest, is the
finest ever erected or seen on Five Mile
Beach. Mr.. Davis has neither spared
time or ex pense on his exhibition aud he
invites the public to come and see the
display In action. Winding itself in
and out Of the miniature fields, ascend
ing bridges and mountains, two trains
with head lights blazing pillow their way
amid the sparkling lights of switches
and signal posts only stopping to take
on and discharge passengers. At the
little village at The mouth ofthe tunnel,
W stops are made where all the win
d~owsparkle with the CHEEKY lights from
within. At the other end is found a
miniature Willow Grove park, for upon
alighting from the train y crosses the
bridge and finds himself in the midst
of amusements. Several cars laden
with merry children are discovered
whirling around a mountain coaster or
scenic railway, while the strains Of the
caroussel float out upon the atmosphere.
One cannot help being pleased with
these things for beyond this is the ferris
wheel, airships and above all else q
small lake with It's ducks and boats and
q magnificent electric fountain sends
rays Of sparkling water high into the
cir only 70 fall again Ia hundreds of
sparkling drops.
Members of the Holly Beach Yacht
club and their friends, sitting around
the CHEEKY fireplace last evening, spun
ont yarns Of all the boats and episodes
of their crews, while Father time board
ed bis yacht and taking 1914 aboard
sped away somewhere leaving only the
glad memory of a very successful sea-
son. As the baby year approached
merriment reigned and 1915 was given
a rousing reception. Those present
then proceeded to the dining room,
where Bob Kelly and his assistants had
arranged q banquet table with a large
Christmas tree In the centre. An elab-
crate pig roast, sour krout dinner was
served. After exchanging greetings
and wishing the good ship Holly Beach
