Still further a subtle temptation be- • i- the path of the entertaining city. 1 order to make our guests feel completely at home, to impress them with a hospitality, and to win their peranum patronage, we might lie un- ■ n-clously lest to lower the barriers a little, over-ready to indulge antt con- ' and thereby .establish a precedent, which it wit) he impossible to bioak, ami which eventually will damn tin- fair name of tne city.

Mr. Bosweli had taken, throw--ing in the weight of his influence as one of tha leading citizens of the city, • as the chief executive of the ma- • " conization in the city. _ With every citizen behind llfccity administration we may halm the ■ ciitcheon down to posterity, un- - allied ami unstained, as we receiveil it from the founders of the city.

That Ocean City possesses as splen- / did an array of amateur musical talent us any city in the land, in proportioh to its population, was clearly demoni rated during the Faster season, in the very creditable performances given . in the various churches. The term amateur is used advisedly, , not as an indication of inferior quality ' f voices anil performance, but merely i " ii -criminate between the paid pro- -• ional, and the voluntary member. Why should these voices be unheard "iiNide of Ocean City, and the gift* of their directors unknown to all excepting ourselves? Could it not be arranged, to" have each choir give a pA-formancc upon mile Sunday eveq0g, at the city music pavilion during the season, ••urly or late? The dules fo teach choir could be amicably decided by drawing lots, and the chpice of a work left to each director. \ Possibly too, an evening could lie 'levotcd'vto a mass choir, of all the churches lest for the occasion hy an out-of-town musician, whtv could tie invited for the occasion. An eCenirg could also l>e devoted to the soloists of i he several churches, as done last year at on inland lake resort. The evening program on the occasion was entitled. Aii Evening With Handel," and each , -inger contributed a song or two, from the work* of the great master. Duets ( nad quartet* might,. be arranged. The movement would advertise another side in the life of Ocean City, and perHaps materially help to solve 1 •lie problem of summer music. An ounce of home talent developed i' worth a ton bought. Alus, the old frog pond is doomed to go, and another landmark will disappear. If the process of improvement and beautification continues, "me of the older settlers will feel themselves strangers at home. Tlic song of the bull frog will be heard no longer in the land. Of course, it requires the imagination of a John BunMghs to hear music in the monotonous croaking of the frogs. Nevertheless, it had a familiar i sound,- and will be missed.
