Evidently, if rumors in circulation * are trustworthy. there were features associate.! with the celebrated outing of the Kiwanis Club to Tuckerton. that were-to, say the least a. trifle spooky-. There was an element of the weird and the ghostly, which perhaps only' Con an Doyle and Sir Oliver Lodge -could solve. \ To aggravate the situation, moreaver, the whisperings are very contradictory ami conflicting, for a mere journalist. During the fishing contest, it transpired that Dbctor Allen Corson hooked an oceanic monster. The Doctor is . reported to have named it a drum fish. Some, however, say it was a whale of a whale; others, it was a prehistoric monster of the Pliocene age, called an ichthyosaurus;, while a third partycontend, it wak a ninth cousin on,the. mother's side, ta -the TaTibjsjis/'aniA phibian, which is recorded to have, furnished Janah with a 'three days' trip and lodging in the deep. .. A fourth party affirm, in - hushed and awe-riven tones and with a nervous twitchirg of the eye-lids, that it • was a spooky denizen of the waters, invisible to mortal eye; and are speculating whether or not Doctor Coikon • 1 is a seventh son of a seventh son, or ; made his advent into this world of ■ tears and fish yarns at the bewitching ■ hour of midnight; for it Is generally - supposed that such persons, are en- 1 dowed with occult powers of com- 1 • munieation, with the world of spooks 1 and wraiths. ' ■ Still a fifth party claims that the < catch was a momentary hallucination. I It appears that some lasses were I sporting themselves in the briny writh- I in the range of vision, clad in the fascinating and* demoralizing ono-piecer. One maiden in particular, was endowed, so it is said, with a wonder- | ful collection and combination of physical charms; and this party is prepared ta .solemnly swear before a ■notary public, that the moment Dr. Corson's glance fell upon the siren, he gbvo the line a terrific tug which , nearly capsized the boat. Hence the • As said rumoss are very conflicting, and perhaps in due time Dr. Corson will give publicity, to the true facts of the case. Another peculiar element In the program of festivities was the sudden ap- ' pearance at the dinner table of the ' • Tuckerton Yearly Scream. 1 Roy L. Burgeois and J. J. Foster an supposed to be responsible for the 1 advent of the remarkable publication, ■ though many declare that the literary ■ "soldering" of the journal indicate an- ' other source. Be that as it may, the Scream had .- some rattling good stories, inter- ( speraed here and there with a wicked i left hander, at some members of the I cult. I The outing to Tuckerton was, not- I withstanding, a memorable event in the history of the Kiwanis Club of { Ocean City. ■ Fro mthe start to the finish things., went apace with a vim, and those who , were able to tear themselves away from the cares and woriea of business, enjoyed a royal time. ■ The winner of the auto race was 1 the popular young realtor, Ewing T. - Corson, who was awarded the first prize, a beautifully engraved windshield cleaner, with an automatic attachment. It appears, however, that a protest has been registered against the award by Kiwanians Burkhanit, Smith and Burgeois, upon the ground that the race was supposed to have been /ui auto race, and not an aerial flight. It transpired that Ewing -T. Corson gave a wonderful exhibition at one stage of the journey, making the car leap .some say six feet and some sixty feet, into the air and across a yawning gap by the bridge. It was a daring performance; nevertheless, rumor has it, that the decision | of the judge is to be hotly contested, if needs be in the Supreme Court. The prize for the fastest time made «n the road, was awarded to City Chnmisaionei' Everton A. Corson, two, handsome silk embroidered banners, hearing mottns eminently suitable for the feat. = Fred Adams won the prize for the slowest time with perfect ease, and no competition, a pair of pliers and a monkey wrench. Another competition which was hotly oon tested was won by Clinton L. Breckley. Reuben W. Edwards and Alfred Sapp entered the competition but were outclassed from the very The fishing expedition was, of course, one of the Star features of the program, and ever since fish yarns of prodigious elasticity have been going the rounds. The boat captained by Dr. Allen Corson returned about the hour of noon. The boat skippered by Roger Williams, by reason of the weight of the fish it carried .was only with difficulty, and by dint of superhuman efforts, brought in by three o'clock. The prize for the largest fish fell to the lot of Roger Williems, who also won the pool for the first fish, anil the most fish caught. The baseball game umpired with the matchless skill and knowledge of a l-andis, by Chairman "Bill" Collisson, was the crowning event of the outing. The teams, named respectively the White Sox, captained by Capt. Alfred Smith, and the Black Sox captained by Ewing T» Corson, displayed a brand of ball the like of which has never been seen within the boundaries of the state before. Capt Smith ,who took "the mound for his team, twirled an ugly curve which kept the Blacks guessing for the coming of a wallop. Sap* and Williams registered, some dMgink bingies, while Doctor Corson demonstrated his base-stealing proclivities in mid-summer form. For the Black Sox. Burgeois starred In the eutfield .while Ewing T. Corson exhibited a speed-limit hurt, — B I - ; I -

If Beginning with the first grade. , |\ taught by Miss Sarah Goff, it was al- \ most .unbelievable, that some of the work shown could have been executed [g by- mere babies. The cutout designs were exceedingly 1 well -lone, particularly the silhouette : designs, one or two examples of , which 1 could' have been passed off with ease as the work of a child of twelve years. - ,y The flower cutouts were also very • le daintily -lone, indicating that the teachers had, in some occult way in- l ,. comprehensible to a lay mi nil, awak- I ■d ems! in the min-i of the infants, an ' ■v artistic interest in the work above the* - mechanical part of rutting paper. j> There were some figure pencil draw- > ,s ings showing most careful tracing, I r- particularly one of old&inta Claus. 1 g Grade two. ohviouafv showed a little 1 more advanced in character anil exe,f cution.
