Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1916-11-24
North Wildwood

WIN dCut Siubi Fiduh dull
nan, will take place Sunday next at
twelve O'Clock at the club house at
North Wildwood, aud 1t is expected
that this dinner will beat anything in
the way of a shore dinner that the coast
has seen for sometime. While the din
ner Is in no sense to be elaborate or
formal, 1t is TO be a big one aud a
wholesome one. The main dish will
be wild duck, both roasted and stewed,
while the side dishes will be sea foods,
gotten up in the fastest and
by no other than Mrs. Annie Hewitt,
who has for SO many years made fam
Gus the Hotel Royal, which was so
ably managed by our beloved and re-
spected friend, the late Charles Mace.
The dinner is given 10 the commodore
largely by Henry H. Ottens, chairman
of the house committee, who felt that
after the many things the commodore
has done for the club, it was the small
lest thing hal the club could do for
him. All through the several years
that Mr.. Brennan has been commodore
there was never an emergency but
that Mr.. Brennan was on the spot
with his advice, finances and labors TO
push the club along; he is a royal en-
tertainer himself aud there is not a
doubt but hat the coming dinner will
be something he will remember for

ing feature of the dinner will be the
advent of Leverett Newcomb, the Vine
land gentleman who at the present
writing owns one-third if not one-half
of the Borough of North Wildwood.
Mr.. Newcomb during a conversation
with Mr.. Ottens said that he would
pay any price named TO get behind a
wild duck dinner; that he had not had
a wild duck dinner for thirty years to
his knowledge, aud Mr.. Ottens prompt
ly said he would fill him up with wild
duck If it took all The gunners In South
Jersey to secure enough of the feather
ly tid-bits to appease the Vinelander's
schiDg void; SO Mr.. Newcomb is eX-
pected to be present and hear the
cha mpagne corks pop. The price of
this dinner will be S. 800, and while it
may seem fancy, at the same time it
will be we'll worth the money.
The new Ottens bungalow PROPOSE
ton is certainly taking Wildwood by
storm and each Sunday large parties
of our local people come to North
Wild wood station and inspect the neat
and satisfactory little house. Not only
our local people but large parties from
Philadelphia and different parts of
Pennsylvania and New Jersey come
cuIsion trains solely for the purpose of
inspecting these wonderful bargains,
which are only made possible through
the generous business policy of Mr..
Ottens, who has done SO much to up
build Five Mile Beach. We may say
that there Is no proposition on the
coast where a man can obtain prac-
tically a 81 900 investment on so little
initial cost, and at the same time be so
sure that his investment is safe and
well protected. The proportion of the
sale of these bungalows since the first
of October has almost averaged one a
day for the month, and the Contractor,
Mayor Frank E. Smith, is having his
hands full to keep up with the selling

pected that by the first day of May,
1917, that the limit of 100 of these bung-
allows will have been sold out, after
which time it will be almost impos-
sible to buy one of these bungalows at
the price aud terms quoted. So that
is the eason why Philadelphians are
making such strenuous efforts to Sc
cure a summer home before Mr.. Ottens
withdraws the bungalow proposition
from the market.

Most of the fishermen have returned
from the coast Of Maryland, where
they went for the fall fishing. They
brought up with them a lot of chickens,
ducks, turkeys and guineas.
Victor F. Macht will give a roast pig
dinner at the Hotel Windsor on Satur-
day, Dec. 8, in honor of the birthday
of a party from Millville, from which
city Mr.. Schmidt will ship the pig.
