BOARD OF TRADE MEETS ANNUAL MEETING A SUCCESS He* Officers Elected, Importait Resolutions passed, and Cheer-; iag Remarks Hade Tbe annual meeting of xhe Board of Trade of CapcJMay Oity, occurred on Monday evaninsr In tbe Council Chamber and was attended by a number of prominent business men. Dr. 8, P. Ware, president,; called the meeting to order [and made a abort address in which he dwelt upon the fact that none Jof those who were : active during the past two years in doing the work of tbe Board of Trade bad received one dollar for[ their services and when viaita away from the city became necessary, (members acting upon committees or in other capacities; had always paid their own way without a penny's assistance from the Board of Trade. He might have added that tbe printing for the base ball season bad been [donated by the Star and. Wave and that all of the commissions which could be obtained upon all of the advertising placed for the Board bad been returned to the treasury of the Board by the same concern. These contributions plus the cash subscriptions made by employes of the Star and Wave aggregate over $100. During the past year, therefore, everybody actively assisting in the Board of Trade has done it for the good of tbe cause, solely, and at no small expense to themselves. At the conclusion of bis remarks, a motion prevailed that "We go into the nomination of officers" and tbe chair appointed I. H. Eldredge ana John W. Thompson as tellers. A. T. Haynes was nominated for president and the Dominations closed. On motion the secretary cast the ballot and Mr. fiaynea was declared elected and was escorted to his seat. He made a few remarks about his willingness to serve to tbe best of his ability and solicited tbe active cooperation of all tbe members. He then called for the nomintion for vice-president and O. A. Merchant was nominated and elected. He called for candidates for secretary and Charles L. Brownmiller was nominated and no further nominations being made, the nominations were closed and on mofon the ballot cast by S. P. Eldredge. T. W. Millet was elected treasurer without opposition and following directors were nominated and elected : I. H. Eldredge. S F. Eldredge, A. W. Hand, F. W. Wolff, A. C.- Gile, O. A. Swain, J. M.

Thompson, as chairman of i be Comiqfttee on Amusements spoke upon tbe na^esaity for seeking and providing amusements and alluded to an enterprise which he was endeavoring to promote upon which he would give more information at a.later date. A. C. Giie, as chairman of the Committee oo Entertainment, explained the matter of the Fourth of July celebration and his work in connection with it L. C. Ogden offered no report on City Betterment. President Haynes announced that he would name the [new committees at ' the next meeting. On motion it was agreed that "when we adjourn we adjourn to meet in the Council Chamber next Monday evening." Mr. E. W. Lloyd then presented two resolutions as follows : Whereas, The Beach Boardwalk is tbe foremost attraction and main asset of the City of Cape May, and Whereas, Cape May City can never attain its proper and full development until the Boardwalk is made attractive by night through modern methods of illumination, ana Whereas, The present method of lighting by means of electric arc lights is obsolete, inefficient, unsightly and expensive ; therefore, be it Resolved. That tjiis Board of Trade strongly commends and endorses tbe proposed method of lighting tbe Boardwalk by means of tungsten electric lamps suspended from concrete and wood arches,' pi soed at a distance of three hundred feet apart, to occupy, tbe places of the present arc lights. Further Resolved, That it is the sense of this Board that these arches should be built and completed by the Oity Council before tbe opening of the season of 1910.

ON THE BASKET BALL FLOOR Millrllie Champions Succumb to Superior J Work by Cape May A. A. j ' The largest crowd of toe season ; turned out on Saturday night to wit- [ ncss the basket ball game at] Excelsior \ Skating Rink, and they acclaimed ' their delight at the splendid exhibition they were treated to in a sten- ' torian manner. Many of Cape May's _ representative citizens were in attendance. and conspicuous; in the[gather- | ing were the large [number of ;iadies, ; who are generous supporters of the game, and joined heartily in . the applause at the numerous good plays '} made during the evening. | The speedy Millville Champions, who I have gained much prestige on tbe basket ball floor this year and for i several seasons past, were the invaders , of the Cape May stronghold, and they , arrived with tbe avowed purpose of ^ taking a fall out of the A. A. team, ( who by their splendid showing this year ; bid fair to become usurpers of their [ title. The Champions carried themselves with the regal bearing of conquerors which tacitly proclaimed that 1 mere rumor of Cape May's prowess' could not shake their confidence in | I their ability to lower the colors or tbe local squad. From tbe beginning of the chase ! - Cape May had tbe sign on Millville, I . and blazed a distinct trail .which was I , exceedingly difficult to follow.and when I the smoke finally cleared away at 1 tbe end of tbe hunt the pursuing I Champions were trailing wearily far j • in the rear. I Cape May took the lead early in the , game, and truly it can be siated never did they hesitate and were alive to the situation every instant. They | - registered seven points in rapid succession before the visitors awoke to ' the true state of affairs. Then they - took a brace and fought stubbornly to recover tome of the lost ground an^ during the remainder of the half ' contrived to .make an even break, tbe half ending 15 to 8, with Cape 1 May carrying tbe heavy end of the ■ In the second Cane May continued to run away from their opponents, and by fast, dtiappy passing, mixed 1 with fine team work made Millville - look a trifle slow. They repeatedly worked the hall near the basket with apparent success, annexing il more points. Millville also did some.excellent 1 passing, but the Cape May guards • stuck close to their men at critical i moments, and the Champions, driven desperate under tne close surveillance, | took long cnances at the basket, but 1 the loca bunch were too fast for them. - only one goal of the fo:tuitous order I being the result. The final count was 26 fo 10. Vanzant put up his usual strong game at forward, and carried off the | ' honors1 in the goal securing line having j > five to his credit. Shields, the High | , School player who has made an en- i . viable record this season, made his J " debut at forward with the A. A. team i He caged the sphere twice and other- ! I wise put up a clever game. • At center Benckert bad it on his opponent, out jumping him about two to one, while[Tenenbaum at guard put ' up a fast game and was particularly ■ strong in the mixup. These two players were always in th$ thick of the struggle and did much to keep the ball from ' where it could be scored. Mennie, was transferred to guard i andjwas the star performer of the even- ; ing. His speedy work predominated throughout tbe game, and he fre- • qoently went go down the floor t for a shot, getting four field goals. > He gave a splendid exhibition of 1 dribbling, and his shifty method of getting the ball down the field was ' highly pleaBing to the crowd, i Marts was tbe star player for the I visitors and put a splendid all around game, and secured foar of their five : field goals.
