City cgn i« realised. Ju.-t atop to |. consider thnt one hundred new build- | ings has been the average in this resort for the past few- year.-. This fJ year one man, alone is building half „ the yearly average. „ K-' M." Kent, the builder, so far this „ year has erected thirty houses and seven bungalows ami will take out ,j permits in a few days for thirteen more new buildings. Some of the u larger building operations by Mr. Kent w are seven Vqltage* at Fifteenth and ((] Central avenui\thre« of them for I eon ^ M. Leopold and \>ur for Casper Gar- b] rett.

two-story houses for John M. Simon. Another large operation Is five, two-family apartments for George S. Idell at Corinthian avenue and 1'enn- . lyn place. The building activities of Mr. Kent this year hare covered the entire island.

Mr. Kent, whose office is at 413 ' Ocean avenue has been a builder in 1 Ocean City for about twelve years. In C a conversation with him it was learn- [ ed that one of the chief difficulties in construction work here was the fact !" that it was hard for mechanics coming 1 into the town to find suitable resi- ' dences for their families. He was of c the opinion that a group of twin J! houses erected in some inexpensive Io- " cation that could be rented the yea'round for not over $30 a month would ' be n paying investment.

Barclay, at 1082 Simpson w avenue, went to Philadelphia Monday 0 for the purpose of buying lire turkeys i *' which will be shipped to him in lime jl to be killed ami dressed to order for ! I1 Thanksgiving. You can go to Mr. Bar- « clay's place, pick out your turkey as it ; li struts around the yard, and then o: watch it being killed and dressed ir ir you so desire. He will also have chick- j ol ens and ducks dressed to order. Mr. Barclay was formerly of the j '« firm of Jelferies and Barclay and sev- j V eral months ago entered the butter, jv eggs and poultry business for himself.! •' . ; u - o HICKMANS IN FLORIDA .

Tbe exhibit wa- held under the auspices of the "Slate and City Departments of Edui ration. 1 The purp<ise of the exposition is best ' outlined in' the following paragraph: "America is a land of people, gathered from many countries. AIL hare 'come (waring gifts and have laid them on the altar of America." To ' show this gathered treasure is the purpose of the Exposition — that each of us may better understand the other and realize more fully the ideal* country. New York was the first u- realize"" idea. It has been such a complete success that other large citties are going to continue it. The exposition divided into booths, each one conby some of the natives in nacostumes and showing the contrithat each ha* mule in art. literature, science, invention, agriculture. manufacture, etc. Each evening was devoted to one country. An average of 7.000 people attended daily. Tuesday evening. November sth.

Johnson in a letter .to the ' Sentinel says: "Since last April when they . began calling meetings for the preparation , of the exhibit Dr. Johnson has been ( coming up to help them. It was sup- , posed to be worked up by the NewYorkers hut the Chairman "in hi- , speech, in excusing the fact of calling J in a Philadelphian to write the booklet. , playfully remarked that they were , compelled to go to Ocean City to hunt up the one man who knew enough of ; Swedish- American history to concentrate three centuries of it into a small ,| hook. Another historian present said t lie had never seen so. much written in „ i such concrete space. , "I think you are aware that all j ^hi* notes to I* used in the preparation ,| lost in the fire and had to be ,j collected from all over the country I since September. This, added to hit health which, even before the fire , had forced him to the decision to re- ^ . sign from teaching and devote his „ to writing, accounts for the fact j of hi* complete retirement this fall jj Ocean City. He has written most of it Jying on his back. - "Now that this is over they are asking ss to opti.J the winter in New in order to have Dr. Johnson " write a history of their State, but ™ whether he is well enough ami agrees this or not we shall be back in City in spring. = "Wednesday night was the French p I have seen many beautiful pageants and historical tableaux both and in Europe but nothing to compare with the display of the evening. Some of the foremost artists of France came over to design the scenes and customes. . "A jewelled «word, the gift of the of New Y'ork. was presented to Marshal Foe he who, however, could not be there m person. The French .
