WILDWOOD

VI AAadO "h5 hCA0 al nv SAtJ hoAit
Monday night, June 10, Senator
Baker, presiding. There was a large
attendance of the board members who
made BOOST Wildwood the dominant
note of one of the most enthusiastic
meetings in the boards history. All
the committees were represented and re-
ported progress IN their various under
takings. A letter was read from Rev.
HI. s. Stoneman, founder Of the famous
organization bearing his name. Mr..
Stoneman is f%avorably impressed with
the attractiveness of Wildwood for the
entertainment of the 10, 900 members
of the order who will take their sea
shore outing on September Ii. If the
board can demonstrate the fact to Mr..
Stoneman that our hotels can take
care of this a throng of men and
their friends, 1t is reasonable to predict
that they will be the guests of the
resort on September ID. Correspond
ence was also read from the Glass
Workers Association asking for in
ducements to hold their convention
here in 1917. J. b. Wright was
appointed as the board representative
to interview the Millville delegates to
the convention at Toledo, Ohio, this
year and present the entertainment
features that the board can provide for
the convention. A volunteer commit
tee was provided for on baseball to
work in conjunction with Manager Por-
ter for the promotion of a successful
baseball season. The board is working
hard to have a Motion Picture Com
pany decide on Wildwood for their sea-
shore outing and the possibility of pro-
curing Charlie Chaplin to umpire a
game Of base ball that day II the pic
ture company decides to come to Wild
wot d. A report on the float that Mark
b. Reeves is building to represent the
resort in the parade of the Convention
of the Associated Advertising Clubs of
the World. at Philadelphia on Mon
day, June Goth, indicates that Wild
wood will be effectively advertised to
the thousands from all parts of the
country who witness the pageant.
Secretary Harry f. Greaves addressed
the board on his attendance at the
meeting of the State Chamber of Conn
merce held at Beach Haven recently
and ably demonstrated his ability,
along press agent lines, to that body In
the interest of Wild wood, to the extent
of getting the promise that the State
Chamber of Commerce would hold its
annual session here in 1918. Aggres-
sive preparedness for the advancement
of Wildwood and the promotion of a
successful season was the inspiring
theme in all the proceedings at this
meeting of the board and no doubt the
resort will feel the result ofthe hustling
spirit that has made the board of trade
such an effective factor in the develop
ment of Wildwood-by-the-Sea.
