A large number attended the dedi-

Pier, which was held on Friday even

the finest in the history of Wildwood
Crest and the large crowd enjoyed
themselves immensely. Speeches were
made by Mayor w. COPYRIGHT Smith,
of Wildwood; Senator William H.
Bright, and Mayor Ralph Whitley, of
wildwood Crest. The choir from st.
Simeon's Church, of Roxboro, was
present and sang several selections.
The Baroni brothers with their flute

manner and music was furnished by
Miss Julia Bakers Ladies' Orchestra

well worth hearing. The gathering

the grading of Atlantic avenue, are
expected to complete the road by the

to the street committee who will have
it rolled, scraped and smoothed so
that autoists may AXE that splendid
ride along the ocean front.
