FLOWERS GIVEN
MANY CHILDREN
WOmen's Christian Temperance
Union Make Bouquets for
Inmates of Five Institutions.
Distributed Wednesday

Wednesday was another Red Let
ter Day" for the Women's Christian
Temperance Union. 1t was known as
Flower Day. 1t was observed by
the members of Pleasantyille Union
by the distribution OF bouquets OF
flowers to many children and grown
ups who are in several institutions in
Atlantic City and Mortified.
The ladies met at the home Of Mrs.
Harry Parsels to make up the bou-
quets and then proceeded to the sew
eral institutions to make the inmates
happy with the gifts of flowers. The
institutions hat the ladies visited
we're Pine Rest Sanitarium and Coun-
ty Almshouse, at Northield; The
Children's Seashore House, North
American Sanitarium and Atlantic
City Hospital, at Atlantic City. At
each of these places the bouquets were
handed out and this lovely custom
brought smiles to the faces of the
patients that vas ample reward for
all the effort in gathering the flowers
and preparing the handsome bouquets.
To be thought of by others, when
confined in an institution either by ill
ness or affiiction or from any other
circumstance in life, brings a thrill OF
happiness to the inmates, as they are
reminded that there are some people
in the world whose thoughts are not
all of self, but sometimes for others
less fortunate.
The distribution of the flowers vas
under the direction of County Presi-
dent, Mrs. Roxanna j. Frendlich, and
H. ,..A.s
tendent OF the flower committee. What
the women of Pleasantville did on
Wednesday is also done by members
of the Women's Christian Temperance
Union throughout the United States
each June. 1t is a custom that is
greatly appreciated and certainly one
for which the women who take part
are to be highly commended.

Motorman Was Hurt
When Car Hit Auto
Collision Occurred on Shore Road
Thursday Night-Nagle May
Have Fractured Skull.

John K. Nagle, of Somers Point, a
motorman on the Atlantic and Subur-
ban Trolley line, is in the Atlantic
City Hospital suffering from a posi-
BILE fracture of the skull and cuts and
bruises about the face and arms as
the result of a rear-end collision be-
tween his car and an automobile truck
on Thursday night. AT the hospital
Friday morning it was said that
Nagle's condition was fair.
The collision between the trolley
and struck occurred neal the Atlantic
City Country Club. A motor truck
belonging to Sampson & Company, of
Mortified, and driven by John TruaX,
was proceeding down the Shore Road
ahead of the one-man trolley car.
TruaX slowed down in order to allow
another automobile to pass out the
Country Club gate. The trolley was
close behind the truck and rammed it
in the rear when the speed of the
truck was slackened.
Nagle was treated here by DR.. Con-
over who advised his removal to the
hospital because of the possible frac-
ture of the skull. Passengers in the
trolley were considerably shaken up,
but no one but the motorman was in
jured.

Manager Gegan Has Arranged
to Play Five Games with
SOmers Point Team.

Manager William Gegan of the
Pleasantville Regulars has arranged
with Manager Frank Hart, of the
Somers Point baseball team, for q
series of five games to be played fol-
the independent championship of At
lantic County. Last year Pleasant
vile won a similar series, capturing
three out of five games played, but
this season Somers Point is confident
that they will n the title. 1t will
be an interesting series, as the Reg
ulars are strengthening considerably
now by adding new players.
Pleasantville has had a fair season
so far, winning one out of two games
from Egg Harbor, beating Vineland
and the Pleasantyille Travellers. How
ever, they have a veteran twirling
staff, including Dump" Adams, Jimmy
Ferris, Bill Gegan, Bobby Mclean and
Scott Long.
Somers Point has been winning con
s%istently, only last Sunday scoring
their fifth consecutive victory, but
their pitchers have shown poor form,
both Tommy Hentz and Bobby Collins
having injured pitching arms. Bill
McDeyitt, an o~utfelder, has been twir-
ling great ball in the pinches.
The Pointers have won victories
over the Pleasantyille Travellers, Vine
land, keystone Club and Ventnor City.
Only one defeat was chalked up
against them, Vineland administering
this in the initial game of the season
by a l to 0 score.
Johnson, the former Mackman hurl-
er, is slated to twirl for the Camden
p. h. X. team when they clash with
the Pleasantville Regulars in a return
game here this Saturday.
Dump" Adams will, in all probable
ity, twirl for the Regulars with Ralph
Sanders on the receiving end.
Bobby Mclean, the former Peddie
Institute pitching star, who was one
of the mainstays on the mound for
the locals last season, has made
known his intentions of returning to
the national pastime, having been
kept from doing so owing to import
n business.
With Mclean back in the fold,
P%leasantville viii possess five depend
able hurlers in Adams, Gegan, Nc
Lean, Ferris and Scott Long. Sanders
and Wilson will alternate behind the
bat during the remainder of the sea
son

Vineland To Play
AT Somers Point
Teams Will Clash in Third Game
of Series This Sunday After
nOOn-COllins to Pitch.

When the Vineland White Sox
cross bats with the Somers Point
baseball team, at the home grounds
of the Somers Point club this Sunday
afternoon, Bobby" Collins, the for
mer Atlantic City High School pitch
ing star, will do the twirling for the
Point nine. This is the third and last
game of the series between these two
strong teams, and will be an interest
ing contest. Collins has won one
game and lost one with the visiting
team and is anxious to score a vic
tory in the final game with them.
Collins, with the exception of Me-
Dewitt, the outfielder who has been
doing relief hurting and won two
tits, is the only pitcher that the To-
calls have available, as Tommy Hentz,
the husky Highlander, may moi be
able to twirl any more this season
owing to several strained tendons in
his arm. Herbie Kuhl, the former At
lantic City High School finger, who
was m of the mainstays or the hurl-
ing peak for the mainland team last
season, will not play this year., ac-
cording to an announcement made by
Manager Frank Hart.
Frank Stretch, the veteran Somers
Point receiver, who has been on the
side lines for the past several weeks
owing to an injury received to his
head, will more than likely don the
mask and mitt and do the catching
on Sunday.
1t will be the seventh game of the
season in Somers Point, and they are
mann than anaG1anf that thau will
hang up their sixth victory in a row,

CLASS DAY PLAY WAS
WRITTEN BY LOCAL PRESIDENT

The play given at the class day ex-
ercises of the Atlantic City High
School on Wednesday evening was
written by Reynolds Packard, a sum-
mel resident of this town.
The play was a clever sketch en-
titled, "They Who Hope" with the
setting The Never-Never Land, time
the present. The Never-Never Land
idealized the twelve years of school
life which they were leaving for the
Real Land of Life.
The Never-Never Land was ruled
over by the pirates and the croco-
dies, and the dragons fought and con-
quered were Ignorance, Carelessness,
Procrastination and others. The part
of the Chief Pirate, Captain Hook, was
taken by Principal Henry p. Miller.
AS the band was leaving the land,
they foretold the future of each one,
read their will and presented appro-
pirate mementos to each one with
much laughter and clever hits.

Important Land Case
Property at Lake Placid, N. Y.
Secured After Legal Battle
with Rich Corporation.

A very important land case, in which
local people were interested as heirs
of the original owner, was won in the
New York courts last week. Thomas
/. Dunlap, the local real estate man,
built up the case for the heirs, in
which the notable decision rem
dered. One of the interested persons
is Mrs. Martha C~oddington, of this
city. Others interested as heirs in
clude her sister Claribel NJ. Bennett,
Jessie Mitchell and Albert Mitchell, of
Atlantic City, and two residents of
New York State.
The defendant in the action was the
wealthy and fashionable Lake Placid
Land Company, having extensive acre
age and a fine club house in the Adj,
rondack mountains.
A sister named Lillian M. Frazier
was at the time of her decease owner
of a tract of land bordering Mirror
Lake, adjoining the Lake Placid Com
pany Club House. Soon after her de-
cease it appears that the Lake PLACID
Company, through its president, en-
deavored to appropriate the said land
to its use, claiming title to the INT
Investigation of records showed that
no title ever was made from the own
er to the president of the company,
Notwithstanding he made and deliver
ed a deed to the company for the
tract.
The action was brought for posses
sion by the heirs of the late Lillian
NJ. Frazier, and judgment for immedi-
ate possession and costs was awarded.
This is considered by many as a meri-
torious case over such a large corpo-
ration, which had never before been
taken into court.

CIark's Shows Will
Remain Another Week
Midway Makes Hit with Local
PeOple-High Diving Act
Draws Immense Crowds.

The local American Legion Post
surely made a ten strike when they
engaged Billie Clark's Broadway
Shows to furnish the attractions IN
der their auspices this week. Due to
inclement weather and hard work get
ting the immense amount of equip
ment carried, the opening did not
get into full swing until Wednesday
night, and since that time large
crowds have been on the grounds, To-
Gated at Meadow Boulevard and
Hampton Court.
More shows are carried by this or
ganization than any similar one that
has ever played here, and they are all
of high class order. One of the fea-
lures presented is the great Horace
Goldin mystery act, Saving a Wo-
man in Half" which is shown for the
first time under canvass; along down
the brilliantly lighted midway one
finds the Lone Star Wild West Show,
under the direction of eX-Sheriff Jack
Rinehart, one of the best-known Of
the old-timers in the far west; Capt.
Johnnie Wallace's Big Circus Side
Show, with its trained monkeys, goats,
birds and the ever-pleasing Punch and
JUDY performances William 5 hOSSDuu
Minstrels. with twenty merry-making
colored funsters and jazz band; and
many others which space forbids to
mention.
Taken as a whole, the Broadway
Shows is without a doubt the best and
cleanest organization ever to play in
this vicinity, and one outstanding fea-
ture is noticable-every one is courte-
Gus. pleasant, always ready to please
and conduct themselves as ladies and
gentlemen.
Miss Quincy, proclaimed as one of
the most finished high divers in the
country, has become a prime favoIite
by her thrilling plunge from the top
of a 100-foot ladder into a tank con
tanning but four feet of water. This
sensational free act is presented
every evening at 1890 o'clock.
The classiest line of concessions
ever here is also carried. and have
been well ~patronized, as well as the
six riding devices.
By request the shows will remain
over for next week,

OFFICE TO BE
RE-ESTABLlSHED HERE.

For some time past E. K. Biggard,
of the Peerless Hosiery Dyeing Com
pany, has been making strong efforts
to have an express Office established
here by the American Express Com
pany. This is something the city
needs badly. An express Office was
formerly located here, but was closed,
practically without notice, and since
then all express matter and is
despatched through the Atlantic City
office.
After several communications and
interviews with officials of the Ameri-
can Express Company Mr.. Biggard is
sure that an express Office will be To-
Gated here if the business people will
interest themselves in the matter. If
the business men of the city will di-
rect letters to the American Express
Company and hand them to Mr.. Big
gard he will see that the letters are
forwarded and the desired result will
be accomplished.
