Slaughter Beach

"Big Thursday" this year i:
thought to have brought the largest
crowd here for years. 1t was esti.
mated that there were 5000 people
on the beach and 1000 cars parked
in every available spot. Most every
cottage was filed to capacity by
Wednesday night at which time Eye
old time fiddler" was holding forth
in the dance pavilion, where a
number of people amused the crowd
with the old zig" as we'll as the
modern charleston" On Thursday
night the hall wasn't nearly large
enough to accommodate the dancers.
In spite of the largeness of the
mixed crowd the day passed without
any apparent disorder.
Among the many visitors was no.
ted our old friend Will Cirwithian,
now of Philadelphia, who never
misses paying the old resort a visit
on this special day.
The hotel is filled at present.
