LANDS 4OO-POUND SHARK

H. E. Derbyshire, a prominent mem
Der of the Manufacturers Club, Phila-
delphia, and one of Cape Mays sum-
mer cottagers, had a thrilling expe-
rience with sharks in Delaware Bay,
off Cape May Point, while fishing for
channel bass. After hooking five large
bass and having them up alongside
his cruiser Cycle, a large shark bit
them off the line.
Seeing that the shark was getting
the benefit of the days catch, Derby
shire baited a large hook and soon had
the big fellow fast. After an hours
battle the shark was landed. 1t meas
ured nine feet long and weighed over
400 pounds. Derbyshire then pro-
ceeded to fish for channel bass and
caught four.

"THE e MAN"

Last Friday the Lumley Stock Com
pany, playing at Bakers Theatre in
stead of the Casino, presented "The
Lottery Man." a comedy in three acts
by Rita Johnson Young. Mr.. Lumley
was sick in bed and so our old friend,
Jack Berry, played his part, and did
it admirably. Laura Hill, in the char
acter of "Lizzie Roberts" the old maid,
brought more laughs to her audience
than she has in any of her previous
excellent characterizations. Lydia
Willmore, a new addition to the COM
pany, played a double part, that of
Mrs. Wright" and Mrs. Peyton."
The story is about a young news-
paper reporter, "Jack Wright" played
by Jack Berry, who has an elderly
mother to support and is in serious
financial straits through his gambling
propensities. He has promised his old
friend, the owner of the paper, to get
him a special story. To make a story
he offers himself in a marriage lottery
at a dollar a chance. Each day in the
paper a part of his picture is drawn.
The terms of the lottery are that if
he marries the woman holding the
lucky CD ticket he is to get all the
proceeds of the lottery. If he refuses
to marry her, she gets the money;
while on the other hand, if she refuses
to marry him, they are to split the
money. After he makes the agreement
he meets Helene HeyeT' and falls
desperately in love with her. He
tries to call off the lottery, but the
paper has already gone to press and
he has to abide by his agreement.
Nearly 100000 are sent in for
chances. When the lucky number is
drawn it is found that it is held by
an old maid who will not consent to
split the proceeds of the lottery, but in
sists on marrying the prize" At the
critical moment, when it seems that
Jack must either agree to marry the
winner or lose all the money, it is
proved that she stole the winning
ticket from another woman who is
only too glad to split the winnings
and call it square.

of John Westland and George Fuller,
employees Of the City Gas Light Com

THE NEW BOARDWALK

While walking on the beach last
progress that had been made on the
new boardwalk. The new walk con-
meets with the old at Cedar avenue, by
the Casino Auditorium. To do this it
bends out slightly to run around the
Carrousel. Then it continues in a
straight line to Montgomery avenue
where it turns at right angles and
runs back.a full block to join the old
boardwalk. The old walk has been
ripped up between Montgomery and
Schellenger avenues.
At the foot of Schellenger avenue
there is a summer house built on piles
outside of the new walk. Long APP
proaches lead from the termination of
every street to the boardwalk. The
piles are six feet deep, set three yards
apart, then a space of about three
yards, then another three. In other
words the boardwalk will be about
ten yards wide.
At the Cedar venue end of the walk
we saw eight men working on the
walk. They had the cross beams on
for about a block. . From there on to
Sweets Baths there was nothing but
bare piles and stacks of lumber. Be
tween Sweets Baths and Young ave-
nue. there was a gang of about ten men
laying the decking" The old railing,
which we surmise will be used again,
is lying neatly piled on the beach,,
ready to be put On. The Hoffman
photo studio has a clever "ad." on the
beach opposite their studio. 1t is a gil
gantic camera bearing their name and
perched on a ten-foot tripod pointed
at the studio.
Between the Washington Baths at
Young avenue and Montgomery avenue
there were about twenty men working
on the walk. They have most of the
approaches built and a lot of the deck
ing. At the corner of Montgomery
avenue a tool shack has been erected.
In the al" formed by the old board
walk and the new at Montgomery ave-
nue. is the new baseball diamond on
which several men were working.

fANAMAKER WANTS THE 1925
FAIR TO BE NATIONAL IN SCOPE

John Wanamaker did a big thing
IN the $esqui-Centennial Exposition
movement recently.
In a criticism of the methods which

ritizens' Committee of One Hundred

Named as a purely local sanitary

appeal and effect.
Mr.. Wanamaker's criticism came

sntimation of the merchants disap-
nroval of the local" character of the
movement came when he boldly an
bounced the withdrawal of his name
from the list of the incorporators of
he Sesoui-C Centennial Association.
subsequently, in response to ap-
heals made to him by the Board of
directors of the association, Mr..
Uanamaker agreed to accept the post
hi honorary chairman of the board;
slso he accepted the Craftsmanship of a
/ necial committee that is to be ap-
bointed. That special committee is to
eonfer with President Harding and
members of Congress to bring to the
movement the support of the United
States Government and to launch the
movement with the united support of
the forty-eight States of the Union.
V Moore called the Citizens
Committee to meet in his office re-
cently. The main purpose of the meet
ng was to receive and ratify the arti-
cles of incorporation which charged

The Mayor made an address in

CAN FREE BRIDGE AT ONCE

State Highway Commissioners at a
conference in Atlantic City recently
told a delegation of Ocean City citi-
zens that because of the condition of
the state road funds they could give
no definite answer as to the early re-
lief from tolls on the Ocean City auto
bridge. The commissioners said a
proposition will be made by the state,
approved by the Attorney General, to
the bridge company.

commission that inasmuch as the COM
pany is ready to turn the bridge over
