Mr. ' Stephen Wilson was then elected treasurer to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Mr. Millet. \ After a very interesting meeting the \ Board adjourned to meet again and take matters up further on next Tuesday evening. The Fourth of July exercises this year will prove better than ever before if the plans of the Board of Trade are carried out successfully. .The morning exercises will consist of water sports, motorboat racing and a baseball game, while in the afternoon a large parade will be over three miles in length, three bands having been secured for it so far. Patriotic floate and also floats depicting the various stages of Cape May from the fiounding by Captai*) Cornelius Mey in 1622 up to the present time. Some of these floats will represent the present attractions of the resort in- : eluding the bathing girts on the excellent beach, the local amusement houses smd-fcotels, the golf and yacht clubs and the baseball team.
