BOWERS BEACH

"A calm usually follows a storm
and that fact is being fully demon
strated at this place at the present
From last Friday afternoon unit
midnight Monday night the place was
astir and nothing but noise of some
kind day and night was the cOntinu-
Gus tumult But today. Tuesday
things have Quieted down. Those who
were here in automobiles have de-
[ parted. A hundred or more passengers
/ left for their city homes on Monday S
I boat up. The hotels remain about
I filled as yet and the cottages are
pretty well all filled. There was lots
of amusement furnished for the Wis
itors while they were with us. Those
who enjoy fishing with hook and line
were in the bay nearly all the day
time and the most of them we're re-
warded for their time and expense in
their catches although the weather
was not as con genial as the average

There were two well patronized
dances one on Saturday night and one
on Monday night and those who chose
TO trip the light fantastic had plenty
of opportunity to indulge There was
a big shoot over the traps on Satur-
day afternoon which drew an inn
mense crowd and some excellent
scores were made by the contestants
for prizes.
Then on Saturday evening those
who had the matter in charge gave
festival and spread in Elizabethan
Hall for the benefit ofthe Bowers Fire
Company The visitors. that is many
of them, paid the hall a visit and gem
erously paronized the institution
which was greatly appreciated by the
management aside from a good social
time which everybody enjoyed. At the
close of the festival when the re-
ceipts were counted it was found that
the treasury of the Fire Company
would be augmented to over one hun
dred dollars, thus the company feels
at the present that it will only be
short time now before they can have
a fire fighting apparatus that will ad-
equate to the needs of a town of the
size of this place.
The bathing season practically op-
ened the past Weekend and from
the exhibitions displayed among the
visitors in their bathing costumes to
say the least they were comparative
ly modest and with the exception of
a few that was disposed to appear as
the ridiculous or as a nymph.
The town authorities are disposed
as has been intimated by some of
- 1.,.--
brief bathing suits to be used this
season as was used by some during
last season and especially to allow
them to be paraded up and down the
principal thoroughfares in full view
to the public.
We need more and larger hotels I
and boarding houses, and now is the |
time for persons of uninvested capi- 4
tai to invest and get on the ground .
door as this resort is destined to grow .
and that largely in the near future.
The Ladies Aid Society met with .
and was entertained by Mrs. f. V.
