NORTH WILDWOOD

/. w. Kinks wal garden at 18th and
Central on Memorial day at
ten o'clock in the morning. This tract
of ground was bought by the Millville
surgeon a year or so ago and has been
plowed, planted and fenced in with al
entrance on 18th rect, from which
hangs a sign which bears the name of
this little paradise. The garden has
been planted with all kinds of vege-
tables and fruits, among the latter be-
ing 100 of the famous wonder blackber-
ries, a Cape May county production
developed by Mr.. Ewing, of Cape May.
This berry is a most prolific producer
and one of the best that has been de-
veloped in the United States, and prob
ably while it will not bear this year,
there is no doubt but hat DR.. Kirk can
pick hundreds of quarts from his
plauts. At all points around the
ground wonderful gourds have been
planted. Some of these gourds grow to a
length of 6 feet and in fantastic shapes.
DR.. Kirk will be on hand Memorial
day and the school children will raise
a flag on the pole erected in the garden
at ten O'Clock in the morning. Mr..
Ottens will supply every child with an
ice cream cone, so it is earnestly re-
quested that all of the school children
of the North Wildwood public school
be on hand to sing patriotic songs and
help raise the flag.
Plans are going ahead for the annual
meeting of the Wildwood Yacht club
on Memorial day. Automobile parties
are expected from different parts of the
State. 1t will probably be no new
news to yacht club mem ers when they
learn that the yacht club across
the canal has been leased to the govern
ment and is now a government proper
ty, while steps are under way to like
wise turn the main building plant over
to the committee on supplies of the
Navy department.
We have with us again, none other
than Jimmie Clark, the well-known
skater of the Palace Roller Rink, of
Philadelphia. Jimmie Clark has made
himself a very well-known and popular
individual in Wildwood, and will be
remembered as the man who last year
handled the Casino so well. MI. Clark
opens the Casino this Saturday night
and there is no question but that his
coming will add to the life of the re-
sort, which undoubtedly will need lots
of zest this coming season. He was
conspicuous last summe with his FAM
Gus auto-ped. Mr.. Clark could be seen
daily standing up on his little s'go-
deviln riding like mac over the resort
and everybody vas asking who is
that man."
Gun Shoot Memorial Day
Wildwood sportsmen will be sure to

of the hearing here early in March it
was believed that there would be no
doubt but that the officers would recon-
mend that the work be done, so great
was the interest manifested at the
meeting. However, the subject has
been opened up again, and another
hearing will take place at Washington
on Tuesday, May 20, 1917. 1t is hoped
that the much needed improvement
may yet be ordered.
