anything more TO enhance the pleas
ures of the season, but the Entertain-
ment committee has sent out an invi-
tation for all to come to Wild wood on
Labor day and celebrate M~ischianza
night. There will be no limitations
placed on the amount of noise produ-
ced, nor the quantity of confetti dis
tributed. One of the most attractive
features of the affair will be the CO.'S
tunes, for the night is to be a masked
carnival, filled with noise and confetti.
For those not caring to make their WI
costumes, VanHorn & Son, on the
board walk, will be prepared to rent
them. 1t is hoped every person on the
boardwalk will avail themselves Of the
opportunity and appear grotesquely
CARRIED and masked. The matter of
lighting is an important feature, and
after careful investigation it has been
found that the best system Is that of
Japanese lanterns. The board walk
will be adequately lighted, as every
merchant has promised to use Japa-
nese lanterns on the board walk, string
lights in front of their stores, which
will be provided by the city. The sug-
gestion that hotels use similar lights
on that evening has been favorably re-
ceived, and the formation OF Mischi-
ANA night parties at the leading hotels
will be one of the features of the eve
ming. By such parties, the proprietors
of the hotels will not only give their
guests an evening that will be "a very
pleasant memory and an inducement
to return next year, but also give an
encouragement to the entertainment
committee, which receives many crit
icisms but very few encouragements.
The use of Japanese lanterns is not
confined to the boardwalk and hotels,
but should extend to private residences,
where their presence will remind every
passerby that the proper place for them
Ia the boardwalk. 1t has been said
that If an American excels in any
thing, it is In making noise and Mis-
chianza Night is to be Americas high
water mark of noise making. Any
thing and everything that will make a
noise will be most welcome. To re-
peat the slogan, Costumes and lam
terms, noise and confetti" and then a
gay night in Wildwood on Mischianza
