were Injured to any great extent. Mrs.

cupants were not thrown from the car.

noon, in which event the parade will

Mr.. and Mrs. William H. Smith and
son Fred, spent a few days of this week
visiting their son Ernest, at Sea Girt,
who is a member of Company G.,
Ocean City. They found the boys in
good spirits, considering their daily
routine of hard drilling. To say they
were warmly greeted, is putting it
mildly, for the soldier boys are always
glad to see anyone from home. The
boys are giving a good account of them
selves in the musical line, as Lieuten-
ant Hall, of Hoboken, testifies. He
says the Wildwood boys are the best
entertainers in the whole camp. Now
that we have such glowing reports of
our boys entertaining qualities, we
hope it will not stop there, but that we
get such reports from them when they
go to the front. Mr.. and Mrs. Smith
spent a very enjoyable time and while
there were entertained by Adjutant-
General Shivers.
