Bowers Beach

Greater preparation was never be-
ing made here for any coming occa-
sion than is being made for the Mem
orial occasion on Friday and the COM
ing weekend.
With favorable weather at that time
we are reasonably assured of hun
dreds of visitors at that time from the
engagements made by the prospective
visitors and the reservations made by
the caterers and caretakers to care
for them.
1t has been the rule heretofore for
the opening of the hook and line sea-
son here on or about that time, but
the wonderful success that the ang-
lers have been having during the two
weeks past when the weather was at
all inviting have been broadcasted and
the fans have and are making ar
rangements to be on hand at that
time.
The hotels, the restaurants, the
quick lunch places, the roOming and
boarding houses, are delaying no time
in preparing their places so as to be
fully prepared to take care of all
comers, at that time, or in fact at any
JULIET LlLuE huEA d ldAS6 COuIluSEuL
is likely to drop in on then.
There seems to be greater run of
fish in the bay this season than has
been for several seasons past and
trout fish, more especially, seem to
predominant.
Our fishermen are doing much bet
ter with their seine hauling than for
a number of years.
There are ten large seines being Op-
Grated here and all hauling in lots of
fish and taking them as an aggregate,
the amount of fish brought in is as
tOnishing, yet the demand is even
greater than the supply and prices
are such that the haulers are well re-
munerated for their work.
Those who are engaged in the bus
mess of Transporting hook and line
fish fans believe that this season is
going to be far above the average of
former years, on account of the fish
being much more plentiful in the bay
and the success that has already been
attained by those who have been out |
in quest OF them.
y The mechanics have completed and |
equipped large transportation boat |
for Willis Davidson and are about |
ready to have it launched. This is the |
fourth boat of about the same dimen- |
siOns, that these mechanics, Tribbitt |
and Flack, have built this season.
The proprietOrs of the Bay View
dance pavilion have everything ready |
for the opening on Friday, Memorial
Night, when big crowd is expected
to be present.
They have employed an orchestra of
syncOpaters from New York who come
highly recommended.
This will give the young people and
a considerable number of older ones
an opportunity to trip the light fan
tastie which they will do from the
opening on.
Mr.. and Mrs. J. Fred Martin and
daughter Ruth of Fox Chase, Pa, were
weekend guests of Mr.. and Mrs. w.
S. Davidson. Mrs. Davidson returned
home from Philadelphia, where she
had been visiting for several days
with them.
There were great many visitors
at the shore on last Sunday; many
visiting friends in town, others in
quest of cottages for certain periods +
during the season.
A fact noticeable a number of !
Philadelphians were here for that
purpose that had never occupied cot
tages here, but expressed a desire to
spend a few weeks at this resort. I
Mrs. D. H. Humphrey returned to
her home in Philadelphia last Sunday
after having spent a week here with T
her mother.
Miss Marguerite Cartright returned '
to her home here after weeks visit
with relatives in Wilmington. ~
John H Leek of Philadelphia has
secured place to operate his cruller
machine here, and moved it down and +
getting it in place. This is new fea-
ture here and the proprietor assures p
the public that he will supply an eX- L
cellent cruller in any quantities and r
at any time. a
Miss Mary Fisher of Washington, D. t.
G., and Mrs. Bessie Richards of Cam Il
len, N. j., spent the weekend here e
with their mother, Mrs. A. B. Fisher, s
