Entered at the Post Office at Ocean City, N. J., as second-class mail matter. OCEAN CITY'S GROWTH. It is scarcely credible to the ordinary visitor to Ocean City that the town has been developed within thirteen years, and yet previous to 1880 Parker Miller and Joseph Robinson were the only residents of the rich island that is now so well known over the eastern part of the United States. The island was originally known as Pete's Beach, but afterward, probably through error, it was referred to as Peck's Beach, a name that clung to it until the Ocean City Association in 1880 laid the foundation of what is probably destined to be the leading summer resort on the coast. When the first European settlers came to the island it was the stamping ground of the Red Men. Here the untutored brave left his rude hut to go forth to hunt, while doubtless the woods rang with the whoops of the painted warriors. In the year 1664 Charles II conveyed the island, along with much other territory, to the Duke of York, his brother. It is said that rent was to be paid in the amount of one pepper corn each year.

In 1680 a constitution, signed by the

people, was granted to the inhabitants of the western part of the State. Among the signers is found the name of Thomas Budd, and to him, in the year 1695, was made the first survey of Peck's Beach. Mr. Budd retained it for fifty-eight years, and had large droves of cattle grazing off its luxuriant grass, while he collected sassafras and other medicinal plants in great quantities, shipping them away to foreign ports. In 1750 John Somers purchased 500 acres in the northern part, and it remained in the possession of the family for over a century. This is the same family from whom Somers' Point derived its name. No other person held any of this tract until the Ocean City Association fortunately secured possession. About the year 1858 Parker Miller, with his wife and family, settled on the island and build the old house standing back on Asbury avenue, near Eighth street, that is so well known. Here he brought the cabin of a wrecked steamer, and used it as a kitchen. Twenty years went by, and no man had yet come on the island to keep Mr. Miller company. Mr. Miller devoted his time to raising cattle and oysters. About the year 1878, Joseph Robinson, who now lives with Mr. Miller, came to the island. This genial gentleman has many hallowed and pleasant memories of the by gone days, and Mr. Miller seems to know almost every foot of ground on the island.

On October 20, 1879, the tract passed into the hands of the OCEAN CITY ASSOCIATION, to the secretary of which, Rev. E. B. Lake, we are principally indebted for the development of Ocean City. They began at once to issue stock and William Lake surveyed the land within a few months. Streets and lots were staked off, and a large wharf built. The Pioneer cottage was the first building to be erected, and others quickly followed. The Brighton Hotel, called the Ocean House originally, was the first large hotel. The Pleasantville and Ocean City Railroad was opened in the fall of 1880, and a steamboat also placed in service between Ocean City and Somers' point. A church was soon after built. The first newspaper established was the Ocean City SENTINEL, founded by Rev. W. E. Boyle, in April, 1880, who placed it in the names of his sons, under the style of W. H. Boyle & Bros. In October, 1884, Rev. E. B. Lake purchased the paper and continued to edit it until the following July, when Fenton & Robinson succeeded him. In November Mr. Fenton withdrew, and in 1886 started the South Jersey Review and Ocean City Spray, which he published for eighteen months, and then discontinued. Robert Fisher began the publication

of the Ocean City Standard on July

24, 1884, and after several months it ceased publication. The Weekly News followed on December 14, 1892, with H. B. Adams as proprietor and editor. No attempt as been made to establish a daily paper until the REPORTER appeared, the brief history of which is familiar to all. No place on the Atlantic Coast offers more general advantages than Ocean

City. Every essential of a high class

seaside resort is here perfect. The recuperative properties of the air are wonderful. Malaria, typhoid, consumption and asthma have never developed; and the many sufferers from these and similar dread diseases who have come down here have invariably returned in perfect health when their conditions were not absolutely hopeless. Hundreds whose cases baffled the skill of their physicians, and who were merely removed to Ocean City to pass their declining days in esae and quietude, have returned to their astonished friends in a state of physical vigor.

The moral atmosphere of Ocean City is its special pride. No liquor will ever be sold on the island, and that provision is a part of the borough charter, and is embodied in every deed. It is a notorious fact that roughs will not congregate in a place where liquor can't be had, and to our temperance

principles is somewhat due the success of the town. Such excursions as some of the churches have brought down here of late years would not go where the sale of liquor is allowed, but look on Ocean City as a place where they can thoroughly enjoy themselves, without the distressing incidents common to some other places as a direct result of drink. The reeling sots, drunken brawls and frequent insults are not a part of our town, a fact that proves a greater drawing card year after year to select visitors and excursionists. The beach is the finest on the coast, excelling even that of Cape May. Here all may dip in the surf without any chances of falling into holes or encountering any of the other dangers incident to many resorts. The number of drowning accidents in the history of the place has been most surprisingly small. The beach equals the most ideal picture a giftest artist could paint. The opportunities for various kinds

of sport are not surpassed. Fishing

and crabbing are attended with the most satisfactory results. Gunning is very popular, as great flocks of wild geese, ducks, and other birds are found in the vicinity of the ponds. The Excursion House is located on the beach at Eleventh street. It is a large and handsome building, and contains every convenience for the excursionists and visitors. It has an immense balcony, where hundreds can sit under cover and watch the waves roll in. A first-class dining saloon is attached, as well as several ice cream and refreshment stands. Here may be procured the best dinner that the market can provide. A large and fine mer-ry-go-round is also here, and furnishes amusement to the young people. A good bath house is connected with the Excursion House. In the course of a few weeks a novel amusement in the shape of a "bicycle railway" will be completed and afford endless pleasure to all. The Casino is another large amusement place situated further up the

beach, and here a merry-go-round,

candy kitchen, etc., are in operation. Billiard tables, shuffle boards, etc., furnish amusement to such as are fond of these games. The main boardwalk is a magnificent promenade of ample width, running along the beach for several miles, and of strong construction. Numerous smaller boardwalks are to

be found in various parts of the town.

Fine sidewalks are everywhere laid. The roads are of substantial construction, and make magnificent drives.

The hotels are unsurpassed in every

way. Large, spacious and magnificent, they are particularly noted for

their appointments and cuisine.

Ocean City is distinctively a select place, and the fact is becoming more

and more realized by the people of the Middle and Eastern states every year. A more detailed account of the early history of the island may be found in Mrs. Rush's Ocean City Guide Book

and Directory, to which we are in-

debted for some of the above facts.

Formally Turned Over the Road. The Pennsylvania Railroad has formally turned over the possession of the

Philadelphia and Seashore Railroad to the recent purchasers, composed of a syndicate of capitalists, of whom Logan M. Bullitt is the head. The name of the road is changed to the Philadelphia, Sea Isle and Cape May, and the work of putting it at once into active operation to Sea Isle City has been begun. The road is officered by the following: Thomas Robb, president; Logan M. Bullitt, vice president and general manager; Thomas H. Wilson, secretary; Thomas Robb, John H. Wheeler, E. A. Tennis, James M. E. Hildreth, James E. Taylor, Dr. Marcy, Dr. James McCray, Morris Boney and Thomas E.

Ludlaw, directors. Several other names

will be added to the directory.

James E. Taylor has assumed the

acting management of the road, and W. Grant Wilson, a former superin-

tendent of the road, acts in a similar capacity under the new management, and will prepare the schedules and arrange for the connection with the Reading at Winslow Junction. The road will be formally opened for travel to Sea Isle City not later than July 15th, and probably earlier. Contractor Tennis, with a force of eighty men, is at work putting the road in condition from Petersburg to Sea Isle City.

Incident on the Trolley.

The laughable sight of an electric car with its trolley off lying quietly on the rail awaiting the return of the cur-

rent, which was imagined to be turned off, was witnessed on Saturday. The

crew had been notified before leaving the Excursion House, that the power would be turned off upon their reaching the steamboat wharf. While crossing the trestle on the curve the trolley "jumped" the wire, and the motorman

observing the loss of power, concluded

the current had been discharged at the

power house, and accordingly sat down to await its return. Every few minutes he was observed to turn the controller

to try the current. After about half an hour some of the passengers concluded to leave the car when the fact was discovered that the trolley was not resting on the wire. It was immediately adjusted, and the car proceeded on its way.

Paper hanging, decorating, painting,

graining and sign writing. All work guaranteed at Smith's, 6th and Asbury. The Union Transfer Company Baggage Express will call at residences and hotels in Ocean City and check baggage

through to destination, whereby the

passenger will avoid all trouble of checking at railroad station. Orders for baggage can be left at railroad depot. J. P. MURPHY, Gen. Supt. JOHN REEMER, Agent. Crop Reports. Reports from the counties embraced in the First and Second Congressional

Districts have been obtained, and differ

materially as to the present condition of the crops. In some sections of Bur-

lington county, and also in sections of

Gloucester county, indications are very unfavorable for the sweet potato crop, while in other sections of the same counties the truckers anticipate a good

yield, the vines looking thrifty and the

potatoes setting well. The farmers this year have been troubled with the insect pest, as usual, and the potato bugs and cut worms have wrought great havoc on sweet potato vines, white potatoes, corn, toma-

toes and other vegetables.

In the trucking districts large quantities of Paris green have been used on the vines, and to this is due a very large extent the saving of the crops from the ravages of bugs and worms. In the early part of the season vegetation suffered greatly from the dry weather, and for a time it was feared

that many of the crops would be al-

most entirely destroyed. During the past two weeks the lower counties have been favored with a number of showers, which were of inestimable value to the farming districts. In the sweet potato and watermelon growing districts of Gloucester county the farmers feel considerably encouraged, and now think that they will have fair crops.

Many of the smaller streams, which

were almost dry, are now reported somewhat filled up, and the condition of the crops generally, in all the coun-

ties, is stated to be more encouraging.

In Gloucester county, some of the early tomato growers have picked a few baskets of tomatoes, and they consider that the yield will be an average one. In the same county the crops in one

township are reported very promising, while in the adjoining township the

farmers state that some of their crops are almost ruined. This is, of course,

due to the showers which have only reached certain distances inland from the river, leaving the other sections of the country to suffer from the hot sun.

Reports from Burlington county state that the hay crop is comparatively a

very poor one. Late corn is pronounced in Camden and Gloucester counties as looking very fair, while the grain crop

in Cumberland county is also said to be an average one.

How It Is Made. While many have watched with curiosity the preparation of salt water taffy

and the other candy at the kitchen in

the Casino, the ingredients of which it is composed are not very generally known. Thomas Kenney, whose deft fingers manipulate the popular sweetmeats for Mr. Adams, explained to a SENTINEL representative the process of manufacture last evening. The principal ingredient is sugar,--not the ordinary article we use to sweeten our tea and coffee with, but a much finer brand, known commercially as "Confectioners' A." The sugar is placed in a large iron pot, diluted about one-third with water, to which a small quantity of cream of tartar has been added, and then boiled into a pasty consistuency. The property of the cream of tartar is to chemically confirm the

boiling, and prevent the sugar from crystallizing again. This is technically known as "killing the grain." When the sugar has been sufficiently boiled, it becomes a cream colored dough, and is placed on a table and goes through a process similar to kneading. The flavors are now mixed. It is next thrown over a large hook on the wall,

and pulled and stretched until it be-

comes sufficiently light, after which it is cut up into the proper shape and

placed on the counter for sale.

In the manufacture of this, as well as other candy, it is of the greatest importance that nothing but pure, veg-

etable flavors and coloring be used, as most of the chemicals used for such

purposes are absolutely poisonous; as,

for instance, chrome yellow, Mr. Adams exersises the utmost vigilance

to see that no deletorious substances go into his establishment, and all who purchase of him need have no fears. Mr. Cross, who also sells salt water taffy and other candy, is similarly careful. Proposed Large Excursion. Charles Cross recently made a trip to Beverly, to confer with Rev. J. Morgan Reed, of that place, in the matter of a large excursion to Ocean City about August 1, the question of which has recently been agitated. It is proposed to run the excursion train from Trenton, stopping at Burlington, Beverly, Palmyra and other places. Mr. Reed is now in communication with the railroad company relative to the matter. Mr. Cross also made a visit to his two daughters, Mrs. Mary Jordan, of Beverly, and Mrs. Anna Rodney, of near Burlington. Testing the Hose. A committee of the fire company Thursday evening put to the test the merits of the new hose. A section was attached to a plug at Eighth and Asbury avenue

about nine o'clock, and the water

turned on. The force pump was not in

operation, but a stream of water was ejected to a height of over fifty feet, and the result was satisfactory. The hose is 1,000 feet long, and was purchased in Philadelphia at a cost of about $650. The hose carriage came from Burlington, and was obtained for the sum of $350. The hose is covered with canvas.

Recognizing the need of Ocean City's honor being upheld upon the diamond, there has recently been organized by several of our rising youth ball players a team that is expected to make a record for itself. At present the team is composed of the following players: E. Irving, H. Thomas, E. Boyle, B. Thatcher, L. Buffington, J. Champion, W. Massey, B. Plowman and Somers Burley. The above membership is subject to change, as the manager proposes

to retain only the best players. Ocean City has taken many rapid strides to the front rank of seaside resorts, and only in base ball, the National game, has she proven lacking. One of the leading attractions of Cape May is its famous ball team, whose brilliant success is, in a great measure, due to the hearty support tendered it by the residents. Their ball park is one of the finest in South Jersey, this also being an important factor of their success. Ocean City should also have a base ball ground, as no team can do itself justice without suitable grounds on which to practice. One of the locations for a base ball park is directly east of the Auditorium. This could easily be graded, and converted into a model athletic field at small expense. A young team always needs encouragement. Visiting teams will see that we are alive on the subject of athletes, and be given a chance to parof Ocean City's hospitality. The team has received challenges from the crack clubs of Cape May, Atlantic City and Cape May Court House, but it is feared that they cannot be accepted, owing to our need of grounds, although there is still time, if energetic measures are taken. "Start the ball a-rolling," and give the boys a chance. L. T.

Merry-go-Rounds--Their History. Merry-go-rounds are a very import-

ant feature of a seaside resort, but while

so many, young and old, delight in fly-

ing around the circle to the music of

some deafening organ, very few have probably had the curiosity to inquire concerning their manufacture and cost,

or anything else connected with them.

The merry-go-round had its origin

with the circus, years and years ago,

and traveled around from town to town

in company with the side-shows. In

those days it was known as "flying horses."

The primitive merry-go-round had no platform, and consisted of a single row of horses, camels, etc., suspended from a rod overhead. It was made to revolve by the operation of a large crank, worked by hand, which was afterward superseded by a horse. The "music,"

when there was any, was usually furnished by a hand organ. In the course of time the "flying horses" became more popular, and were introduced into the small towns and on

the vacant lots in the cities, by Bohemians who brought no other attraction

with them. By the Centennial year,

marked improvement had been made,

and it became a standard amusement

at the seaside resorts. The platform

had been added, as well as a second

and third row of "animals." Then

came the era of the rings, and the steam engine followed.

When the great impetus was given

to the New Jersey seaside towns, and

Ocean City and other resorts had be-

gun to develop, the character of the

patronage of the merry-go-round un-

derwent a change. Instead of the

moving hobby horses for children, it

became the exhilarating amusement

for the young men and women, and

the older folks soon caught the fever.

The name "carousal" was adopted, and

soon varied to "carroussell," etc.

Most of the merry-go-rounds in this

part of the country are made by C. A. Dentzell, of Philadelphia, Louff, of

Long Island, and a Boston house. Dentzell's "animals" are generally conceded to be the best, and he does an enormous business. It requires great

skill to carve out the formidable looking beasts that adorn the "hobbies," as they are familiarly called, and the cost of this kind of sculpture is tremendous. The price of a single figure is $100, and as there are from fifteen to twenty on a row, the enormous cost can be realized. The big organs that grind out the "popular" airs are a heavy item of expense. There are two kinds in general use, the reed and the pipe organ, but

the number of the latter is but small

as compared with the other. In the reed organ, the keys are struck by the pins of a revolving cylinder, resembling that of a gigantic music box. Perforated cards, into whose holes spindles enter, are sometimes used. Most of the organs are from Germany and Italy,

but the "piano organ" is made in Lon-

don. For years the four-row merry-go-round at Coney Island was the largest in the country, but now the Columbian Exhibition claims one which far surpasses it in every way. Atlantic County Court. Law Judge Joseph Thompson, at the solicitation of Prosecutor Samuel E. Perry, has called a special term of the Criminal Court of Atlantic county, to

sit July 14th. It is the first special ses-

sion for the disposition of criminal cases ever held in this county, and is done under the sme law which permits this county to have a Law Judge.

The coming session is called to try only those prisoners who have waived

the right of trial by jury. They are

John W. Turner, larceny; James Johnson, arson; Robert V. Maholland, assault and battery; D. P. Jones, assault; Albert Van Brocklyn and James Robertson, assault and battery; John Barr, assault and battery; Mrs. P. P. Brewer and daughter, larceny; Mrs. Selby and Mrs. Mary

Parker, larceny. Other prisoners will

await the regular September term of Court.

Driving Road to Atlantic. A movement was agitated some time ago to construct a driving road between Longport and Atlantic City. A subscription was started and grew to a certain length and then stopped short. For awhile it appeared as if the plan would

have to be abandoned. But it is said

that John R. McFetridge has come to the rescue with an offer to contribute $25 for each one of his lots along the line of the proposed drive. There is now every reason to picture as a sure

futurity the spectacle of fine carriages spinning down to Longport and back over as clean a stretch of road as can be found anywhere on the continent. Wanamaker's. PHILADELPHIA, Monday, July 10, 1893. Closed Saturdays at 1 p. m. We have taken advantage of the market to prepare a series
