BOWERS BEACH

The weather conditions of Monday
and Tuesday of this week have caus
ed a great disappointment to man!
of the fish fans who came here OF
Sunday and remained over for the be-
ginning Of this week and also many
from a distance who had made reser'
Vations for the time.
The disappointment is not confined
to the fans alone, but with those who
operate motor boats and cater to the
wants of the visitors.
The past weekend was no exception
to former Week-ends, for the deVOteeS
were here in full force as usual.
On Monday morning while the wea-
theI was quite unfavorable, the wind
being strong from the east, which
made the seas heavy, many Of the
sports insisted on going out, and a
number of the boats were put in COM
mission. Quite few Of the nimrods
embarked for the fishing grounds but
their stay was short.
The cottages are about all filled with
sojurners and preparing for Big
Thursday" 1t does not seem to make
any difference with the people at
large how many people come or how
large the crowd. That one day of the
season is the day of all days and 1t
seems that residents Of the place and
visitors who come here, look ahead
for it.

the dance pavilion on Thursday even

cup. There were many contestants and
by the way, many expert dancers but
after due deliberation by the three dis
interested judges, the prize was
awarded to Clancy M. Spayd and his
sister, Miss Edith Spayd.
