party who went over to Atlantic City yesterday to spend the day.

place "trying his luck." Mr. Vannaman has registered at the Traymore.

The Atlantic City Minstrel Troupe furnished amusement for the many fre-

The strollers on the beach last even-

ing were given quite a musical treat. Miss Edith Mills, of Philadelphia, was

On Thursday evening next a Pro-

gressive Euchre party will be given at the Brighton. The affair, which is

open to everyone, will undoubtedly be very successful, as a large number of the Brighton's guests are interested in it. An entrance fee of twenty-five cents will be charged, the money to be used for the purchase of suitable prizes.

"Uncle Sammy" declared the other day that he could determine the weight of every fish he caught as soon as it was landed. When asked how he weighed them Uncle Sammy explained: "Waal, ye know, I gen'ally find a purty smart lot of scales on his back." Whereat Sammy laughed his own infectious laugh, and combed his Vandyke beard with his finger nails.

A fine catch of bluefish was made Monday by Samuel Scott Stinson, a guest of the Traymore. Mr. Stinson has fished at every point along the coast and declares that the bluefishing at this place is the best he has ever found. He was successful yesterday in landing twenty-eight fine fish--weighing in all about 175 pounds. This is probably the largest catch of the season.

Dr. W. L. Yerkes, of Tuckahoe, a graduate of the Philadelphia Dental

College, has received a certificate from the New Jersey State Board allowing him to practice his profession in this State. He will shortly open an office in this city, being with us one day in each week. He comes to us highly recommended, and guarantees satisfaction in his work. Give him a call.

A collection of volumes lying on the office desk of a seaside hotel reveal a variety of tastes to say the least. A text-book on Astronomy, a treatise on the Origin of the Human Race, Dickens' "Tale of Two Cities," Alexander Dumas' "Three Guardsmen," Rudyard Kipling's "Plain Tales," Ouida's "Moths," and one or two others of the stamp of Laura Jean Libbey's "Master Mechanic's Oath," form a rather unique collection.

An Ocean City Miss says that the latest popular fad is for a young lady to

have one of her white kid low shoes painted artistically over the top, thus making an unusual and taking pin-cushion to present the most favored of her admirers. Well, this might do for Ocean City's girls, but for some others--for instance our sisters in Chicago--per-

haps another kind of pin cushion would be better.

Two hundred and fifteen looms in the May's Landing Water Power Company's cotton mill at May's Landing were ordered to stop running, throwing out of employment over 125 operators. The mills are owned by R. D. Wood & Co., who also own the cotton mills at Millville, which were shut down Friday. It is said the whole mill will be shut down next week. This mill employs over 400 hands, and is their only dependence. It is not known how long the mills will remain idle, but all improvements, have been ordered stopped. Notes from the Campers. The Columbia Camping Club, of Philadelphia, who are at present camping at the point of beach, wish to ex-

tend a very cordial invitation to the residents of Ocean City to call on them

at their quarters. The club, which is composed of a brown-faced and hardy set of young fellows, who are not tyros in the experience of camping life, has been visited by a number of people already, and no doubt many more will enjoy their courtesy during the stay. The colors of the Columbia Club are old gold and blue, and each member wears a handsome gold button in the lappel of his coat with three C's engraved on it in blue enamel. The boys were sitting in the tent eating their supper, when the severe squall visited the Island. The supper table was covered over with a blanket and all hands repaired to the stakes, but the little canvas homes stuck fast in spite of the fact that they were builded on the sand.

The officers of the club are as follows: Harry Croll, president; Charles Hess,

vice president; John Anders, treasurer; William A. Gray, secretary. John An-

ders also officiates as captain, and Lee Danaker as quartermaster. Lee Dane-

ker is the son of Mr. Daneker who has a cottage at this place.

The Brighton's Donkey Party. A "donkey party" was given on Saturday evening at the Brighton. There was the usual amount of fun provoked by the odd places in which the blind-folded participants placed the missing tail. The lady's prize, a Japanese cup and saucer, was won by Mrs. McKinley, and the gentleman's prize was captured by her husband, Mr. McKinley. Prizes were also provided for the little ones. Among others taking part in the merriment were:

Mr. and Mrs. Sawyer, Mr. and Mrs. McDowell, Mr. and Mrs. Jones, Miss Mathews, Miss Helen Richardson, John Overn, J. M. Woodruff, Fred Ruckdeschel, W. N. Boyer, J. H. Saight, Miss E. R. Keim and Master E. S. McKaig.

False Alarm.

Considerable excitement was created Sunday morning at about 3 o'clock

when an alarm of fire caused the fire company to rout themselves out and tear through the town like mad with the hose carriage in search of a fire. But no fire was in evidence, and after returning the "machine" to its quarters the lusty firemen returned to their naps.

It seems that at the last meeting of the fire company it had been decided

to give a false alarm in the near future to test the company's efficiency. The

alarm was to have been given by the chief, but as a result of a misunder-

standing, some one took it upon him-

self to anticipate that officer, with the above result.

The Yacht Race.

The race-meet of the Ocean City Yachting Association, which took place

Friday afternoon, and was the occasion of a large gathering of interested spec-

tators. promptly at half-past two the starters gave the signal, and six whitewinged yachts sprang from their moorings at the yachting wharf and started on their twenty-mile spin.

The names of the yachts and their captains are as follows: Irene, Captain

Gilbert; Elsie, Captain Lake; Brighton, Captain Sooy; Elma, Captain Willets; Beulah, Captain Robinson, and

E. L. Sack, Captain Risley. Captain Gilbert seemed to be the favorite in the

judgment of the on-looking yachtsmen, and the ladies were decidedly in favor of the Irene.

Unfortunately for Captain Gilbert's yacht there was little wind, and as the

Irene performs best under a heavy wind on account of being larger and

heavier than her competitors, the best she could do was to come in third. All

of the yachts sailed inside of the time limit, excepting the E. L. Sack and the

Elsie, the latter running aground off Longport, breaking her centre-board, thus obliging Captain Lake to discontinue.

In spite of the drizzling rain that fell during the greater part of the afternoon, much interest was manifesten in the race, and long after the sprightly

little boats had started the spectators looked after them through their glasses and made vague guesses as to which one led.

At 4.30 o'clock there was even a larger crowd awaiting the arrival of

the racers, and as the white sails drew nearer and nearer the young ladies

grew considerably excited and wagered boxes of candy on their favorite--Cap-

tain Gilbert.

Finally, however, the victorious yacht drew near enough to be distinguished,

and the admirers of Captain Sooy's trim little craft, the "Brighton," smiled complacently as with a dip of the bow and a coquettish flirt of the sail she

crossed the line a winner in the good time--all things considered--of two hours and twenty minutes.

The yachts came in in the following order: First, Brighton, 2 hours and 24 minutes; second, Elma, 2 hours and 28 minutes; third, Irene, 2 hours and 29 minutes; fourth, Beulah, 2 hours and 32 minutes; fifth, E. L. Sack, 3 hours and 18 minutes.

The conditions of the race according to the rulings of the Association are as

follows: Each yacht is paid for the time occupied in racing. No entrance fee being charged, the winning yacht re-

ceives a money prize as well as the championship of the Association.

The race of Friday was so much enjoyed by the attendants that another

one will probably be arranged to take place some time next week, when it is hoped the weather will be more favorable. The officials of yesterday's race were: Starters, Samuel Sampson and

John Carroll. Time-keeper, Marshal Harry L. Conver.

Camp Services.

A Holiness Meeting was held Monday morning at 9.30, in charge of Miss Lizzie Sharp.

At 10.30 a. m., the regular morning service was held. Prayer was offered by Rev. T. J. Shaw, and a sermon fol-

lowed by Rev. John R. Mason, of Sea Isle City. His text, taken from St.

John xxi:22, was as follows: "What is that to thee; follow thou me." Mr.

Mason in the course of his sermon said that although every man had his own work, he should not allow himself to forget that his chief aim should be to

serve God. He ascribed as reasons for neglect of this duty, the influence of one's surroundings, and undue and false sensitiveness.

At 3 p. m., Rev. J. T. Heilenman preached a sermon, taking the text "Quench not the spirit," from Thessa-

lonians, v:19.

At four o'clock in the afternoon an attractive children's service was con-

ducted by Miss Sharp. This service, which was well attended, was, as all meetings of children are, a most beautiful one.

The regular evening service was held at 8 o'clock, Rev. T. J. Shaw, of Cam-

den, delivering the sermon. His text was from St. John 1:29, "Behold the

Lamb of God." In explanation of his text Mr. Shaw said that beholding the

Lamb of God is the true way; that this is not a creed, nor a church, nor an ordinance, nor beholding Christ merely as a teacher--but beholding him as the Lamb of God.

The work of life, he said, is to make one's personality a voice proclaiming

the way--by our words, business, money and character. The sermon was

earnestly delivered and was received with enthusiasm by the congregation.

An after meeting immediately fol-

lowed the sermon, during which Rev. Mr. Clinsman, of Camden, sang a solo, amid the shouts of the worshipers,

while Rev. Mr. Burns exhorted the

people to come forward to the altar. The meeting was continued until a late hour amid great religious fervor.

Progressive Euchre Party.

A most enjoyable progressive euchre party was given at the Traymore Tuesday evening. The games were well played and the contests for the prizes very close. The ladies' prizes were won by Mrs. W. J. Perret and Mrs. A. S. Russel, and the gentlemen's by Harry

Bennett and G. A. Fairlamb. Among those present were the following: Mr.

and Mrs. J. E. Huston, Mr. and Mrs. Jerome Keely, Mr. and Mrs. C. H.

Bennett, Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Perrett, Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Harbach, Mrs. S. A. Russell, G. A. Fairlamb, Harry Bennet, Roy Hyde, the Misses Mohr and Mr.

and Miss Keeley. Mrs. J. T. Harbach and James Huston were the winners of the booby prizes. The prizes were all handsome and appropriate.

The Care of Shoes.

If you would have your shoes retain their pristine freshness longer than a

week, do not treat them with polishes and dressings, each one of which claims

to be the best and least injurious. As soon as you come in from a walk, dust

them carefully with a soft flannel kept for that purpose. Let them air, as you do your underclothes, and when they are dry stuff them with soft tissue paper; button or lace them over this. In this way they will keep their shape for a long time.

When they are so worn that they must be brightened, rub them with a flannel cloth and a little vaseline. Ap-

ply the grease carefully, not merely smearing it over the surface of the

leather, but rubbing it in. When it is completely absorbed, rub briskly with fresh flannel.

Do not wear your walking boots in the house, and do not walk in your slippers. Keep a pair of shoes suitable for each occasion. In this way, though you may seem to have an extravagant supply, you will be really displaying an economical spirit. Shoes worn indoors and out not only lose their brightness and neatness, but last only about one-third as long as if they were occasionally relieved.

Have low canvas and russet shoes for summer games--boating and the like.

Have a pair of stout, full-length boots if you are a mountain climber or a record breaker in pedestrianism. For such feats as those the ankles require

all the support they can obtain. Have a pair of patent-leather shoes for your

calling and ceremonial affairs, a pair of slippers for general morning wear

and a pair of extremely dainty ones for evening wear. With this supply rightly treated you will find yourself properly prepared as to shoes for any emergency.

Two Frisky Horses.

Considerable excitement was occasioned Tuesday morning, by a runaway team belonging to Harry Canfield, Sixth and Asbury avenue. The team, which was standing at the depot, started away

without any apparent cause of alarm, turning into the alley between Asbury

and West avenues, smashing in one corner of Peter Murdoch's barn, and continuing down the alley to Sixth street. Here they turned into the lot opposite Mr. Canfield's residence and ran into a tree upsetting the wagon, and fastening one horse to the ground, while the other freed himself and continued the race. Mr. Canfield liberated the horse held down by the wagon, and mounting him,

rode after the other, which was caught at the point of beach. Neither of the

horses was hurt, and but little damage was done to the wagon, which was a heavy express.

Visiting His Old Friends. William H. Elwell, a former agent for the West Jersey Railroad at this station, who has been traveling in the West for some time past, has returned and is now visiting friends in this city.

While the gentleman has lost considerable flesh, yet he reports having had a most delightful time and is pronounced in his opinion of the country west of Chicago. "Billy" is always sure of a warm welcome when he visits Ocean City, where he has an army of friends.
