BOWERS BEACH

Big Thursday of this year will be {
thing of the past ere the Chronicle
goes to the hands of its many readers
of this weeks issue.
But to say the least great pTepara-
tiOns are being made here for the oc-
casion, and it will be hustle and stil
from now on until the old tradition
day is over.
But that great day is not all by any
means here as it's being a big day
here, as every day is big day now
and will likely be until after Labor
Day.
The weekend and especially Sun
days are growing in popularity and in
numbers when we may say that thOus-
ands OF people come and go at that
time.
Beside the cottages are all filled and
the hotels and boarding houses are
taxed to their fullest capacity and ap-
plications are coming in daily for
room and board. Hence the necessity
for the building and maintaining more
hotels and rooming houses. Evidently
while the old resort is of old origin
and has been the mecca for people to
congregate on certain days of the
wear. the time has come when it's sea-
tson lasts for all the warm months of
the year.
Dick Patterson, the ice cream man,
is about the busiest man at the place
serving his customers and the many
ice cream and soft drink places. He
makes three and often four truck
loads each day from Wyoming-e
IDENTIFY the necessity of building and
maintaining an ice plant at this place.
Our base ball team have strengthen
ed their organization and have their
grounds in proper condition for bus
mess. Quite an interesting game was
played here last Saturday between
Bowers and Magnolia teams, resulting
in a score of to in favor of Bow
ers.
4 An aeroplane arrived here on Fri
day evening of last week with two
aviators and remained until late Sun
day evening, during their stay they
took up for a flight quite a number of
men and women, who were much
pleased with their innovation. There
will be three machines that will be
in operation here on Thursday and
the following weekend.
The contractors are at work with
might and main in order to complete
a bungalow on Main street for Mr..
Lattamus of Philadelphia, as the ow-
ner wants to occupy it the remainder
of this month.
One of the largest gatherings of
colored people here was at the resort
on Wednesday of last week, when a
number of Sunday schools of the
county assembled here and enjoyed
their picnics on the beach front.
They had an enjoyable time and
there were supposed
to be over a thousand persons in
their company and they were from all
parts of the county, there was not a |
single thing occurred among them to |
mar their pleasure and happiness.
Mr.. and Mrs. John L. Ingram and |
son. David, and Mrs. John Collins, all |
of Philadelphia, moved down on Sat
urday of last week and opened up |
their newly built cottage on the bay |
front where they will spend the re-
mainder of this month and perhaps |
we'll along in September.
David COverdale and Arthur Cover
dale from near Wilmington are the
guests this week of Mr.. and Mrs. w. |
]. Coverdale in town.
Harry Baynard, wife and son, Mrs.
Florence Wright and Mrs. Russell
Wright, all of Philadelphia, are the
guests this week of Mr.. and Mrs.
Howard Johnson.
Sommers Garmon and four sons
md three other friends, all of Card
ngton, Pa, spent Saturday and Sun
lay at the resort. They chartered the
motor boat "U-Go"; made trip out
and one trip Sunday. They
ook home with them three hundred
md fifteen large beauties, mostly
rout, but among them were thirteen
arge f1Ounders-somethin uncom-
non to catch with the hook at this
Dlace.
G. A. Pentz of Denton, Md, arriv-
ID here Monday of this week with his ;
machinery and has it installed on the
remises of the Hotel Johnson, pre-
,aratory to putting down an artesian Y
yell for that popular house.
There seems to be quite compe-
ition in the number of ice cream, '
oft drink and confectionery places, '
there such goods are sold. There nev-
r we're as many places of that char /
cter on Bowers Beach before this t
ear, but during the past week new
ouse has been erected and opened G
n the Kent Cottage Hotel property {
here such confections are sold.
