Bowers Beach

From Friday morning, Memorial
Day. until Monday Of this week the
old resort had much the appearance
OF midsummer season so far as Wis
ltors were concerned
The hotels and rOoming houses
were pretty well filled and the cOmers
and gOers were numerous all the time
in fact the night time was not much
of an exception.
The BayVieW dance pavilion had its
opening on Memorial night and that
was the drawing card for the young
people and may further add a very
large number of older ones.
The general opinion of many who
were present on the occasion was that
a larger assemblage of people were
never before seen there for the pur-
pose of enjoying a dance, as the dance
floor was filled with patrons until the
wee small hours of the morning. The
new orchestra that is employed for
the season dispensed music for the
dances in a very acceptable manner
and received the plaudits of the pa
irons in general. The dances are con-
and the attendance each evening is
quite encouraging to the management.
The last weekend was practically
the opening of the hook and line fish
ing.
The fans were here in large num-
bers, so much so that it took fifty or
perhaps more of the motor boats to
convey them to the fishing grounds
where they enjoyed their sport.
The best of all, the fish took the
hook freely and all boats reported a
good catch and some of them extraor-
dinary catches.
One boat with a party of five fans
from BOyertOwn, Pa, brought in 256
fish of fine specimens of trout and
crOakers; another boat that a Will
mingtOn party hired, landed 150-and !
another Wilmington party brought in |
240 and so on. When the weather is |
at all favorable there will be hundreds |
of the lovers of the piscatory sport |
with us all the time, as many have re- !
mained or come in during this week |
so far and who are having extra sue
cess in their catches.
The fact is well known among the
fans that they will be well cared for
here and at all times, as there are Ov-
er one hundred boats in operation.
Miss Naomi Farber has closed her
school and returned to her home in
Milford She was an acceptable teach
sr, loved by her pupils, admired and
by the parents and the COM
nunity in general and the wish of all
who are directly interested in the
school is that she will return for an
,ther school term at least.
The closing exercises were held on
May 29th, composed of
singing, recitations, dialogues, select
eadings, by the pupils, which was
to the children and exceed
ngly so to the trainer. This was fol-
owed by a picnic, where young and
Id enjoyed the abundance of ice
ream and cake.
