Independence Day Celebrated By Grand Patriotic Rally In Boardwalk Music Pavilion THOMAS F. ARMSTRONG- OF OCEAN CITY AND PHILADELPHIA DELIVERS A MASTERLY INTERPRETATION OFVTOE FUNDAMENTALS OF TRUE AMERICANISM MAYOR JOHN HANDLEY PRESIDES KIWANIAN PRESIDENT. W. H. COLLISSON LEADS AUDIENCE IN « SINGING OF PATRIOTIC SONGS — V1NELAND BAND GIVE VERY EXCELLENT PERFORMANCES

Bearing in mind the significance of the day, commemorative of the greatest event, not only in the history of America, but also in the history of the worlil the City niu^c pavilion should I have been Tuesday morning crowded,, to the very doors. A stranger from an alien land, happening by might have with all justification concluded, judging from the number of vadRtt chairs in the auditorium, while thci crowds promenaded the Boardwalk, that the fires of patriotism were bunuiiR very 'ow the bosom of the average American. With painful reiteration were the words of Count Ivan Tolstoy, the son of the great Count Leo Tolstoy, recalled to memory. "You dear American people are so accustomed to the liberties you enjoy, that you do not appraise them at their true worth! Had you been born under the tyranny of the Romanoffs, you would know what the deprivation of liberty means. My poor Russia would become demented with joy, over a thousandth part of the liberties you enjoy, but which you so lightly valued." What the meeting lacked however, in point of' numbers, it compensated for fully in sincere patriotic pride and enthusiasm. The auditorium echoed with "songs of freedom born in the smoke of battle." sung by the audience!' under the baton of the president of the Ki- j waiiis Club, W. II. Collisson, Jr. Mayor John Handlcy presided. Oh no! Dr. John Hundley has not resigned the pastorate of the First Methodist Episcopal Church. Circumstances of a peculiar nature having arisen, which made it advisable for Mayor Joseph G. Champion to be elsewhere. Dr. Handlcy deputised for him for the occasion. N Very probably. Dr. Hhndley will return to civilian life' before Sunday, or otherwise, Mayor Champion will presumably take his place. Be that as it may, it must be conceded that Dr. Handlcy filled the position as if to the manner born, and with a little more practice, would make as excellent a mayor, as he does a pastor and prcttcher. The program began by the singing of "America" led by Mr. Collisson with Miss Louisa T. Corson presiding at the pianoforte, after which Rev. Chas. F. N. Voegclin delivered the invocation. The audience again sang the stirring strains of "Columbia, the Gem of the Orcan." In his introductory remarks. Dr. Handlcy paid n tribute to Ocean City, which won nn instant round of applause, from an audience in absolute agreement with him. Notwithstanding the fact that his life was largely interwoven with other places -along tlie coaet. Ocean Grove, and Anbury' Park, there was no place which held as secure a niche in his ' affections as Ocean City. Dr. Handiey paid a touching tribute

f also to the boys of South Jersey, who - distinguished themselves in so con- j f spicuous a manner during the greet I { He cited several instances of their ' j_.valor and heroism in the Argomic, and other centers of bloody strifeTand the ' - part they played in battles which have ■ - become historic. i The chiel speaker of the occasion j ( - was a singularly happy choice, an!T I demonstrated the wisdom and the " - sagacity of the committee who. had • e made the choice. Thomas F. Armstrong, recently ap- IJ e pointed to the important office of a purchasing agent for the city of I'hiia- ] - dclphia, is as Dr. Handlcy put it, one i of the staunchest friends Ocean City I o haii. His pride in, and affection for,: r Ocean City, is equalled only by Ocean ! r City's pride in, anil "affection for, ! u Thomas F. Armstrong. ' Mr. Armstrong's address was a scholarly interpretation of the funda- j " mental p>£ciplcs of true American- ; b ism. Deep and sincere patriotism pul- 1 ' 4 sated through every word uttered. i It begun with a splendidly concciv- i ' cd and executed resume, of the histor- ! j icai development of the principles of ; government, which America typifies! .'.and embodies; it concluded with an: s impassioned appeal for grater fidclty ( and consecration, t o> the duties and j r obligations of citizenship. it was moi%orer the pronouncement { of w tkieere Christian man, who interp rets ted history in the light of tbe ( " Christian teachings and revelation. ! With ail due deference to the mini-.j sters on the platform, neither of them : ' could have traced with greater-1 e cogency, and with more reverence, the e imprints of the hand of God, in the 1 r making of America and American history than did the speaker. 1 In this respect the oration was a 1 '• delightful exception from the style,;' usually heard at a Fourth of July}1 meeting. It was preeminently the type 1 of speech which only a person who- ~ has traveled extensively, read much, d and thought more, could have de- ' d livcrcd. * In^rief it contained only one un- ' necessary feature, the apology with '* which it was prefaced. / II The Fourth of July commemorates, j 1 e said the speaker, one of the greatest ' days in the history of the world. ' History has its calendar of great 1 days. Christinas Day, whan in BethIch me, the Savious of the World was . f born, and Calvary when the Saviour 1 died, were two great days; the day;1 r" when one hundred and forty-six years ; ago- the Declaration of Independence j H was signed, was a third. e Through" the long centuries God had ' been preparing a peculiar type of:' * manhood for America, through whoi* ' T He intended to inaugurate a new, !' . f|Kirh in the history of the race. i !

Mermaids and Mermen Sport and Gambol In Ocean City's Beautiful Swimming Lagoon . • 1 1 MISS ETHELDA BLEIB'I'REY, AMBASSADOR CLUB INSTRUCTRESS GIVES THRILLMtt; EXHIBITION— MISS ADA TAYLOR STARS IN AQUATIC GYMNASTICS— CHAMPION IN CHAINS WARD BEAM, "MARK TWAIN" OF THE CARNIVAL i MEMBERS OF THE OCEAN CITY BEACH PATROL MAKE FINE SHOWi . ING IN SWIMMING CONTESTS— CAPTURE FOUR MEDALS IN VARIOUS WATER EVENTS

The clerk of the weathgr must have j suffering acutely, from an attack ! of biliousness on Monday, and visited his ill-humor with a vengence upon ' the large crowds gathered at the i Ocean City Yacht Club, to view the I celebrated water carnival. The people however, were in a fesjthl mood; they had come there to en.jjoy themselves whatever betide; and , the rain failed utterly to dampen their . , spirits, or water-log their enthusiasm. The various create were watched, with appreciative eagerness, and with i unflagging interest until the very end, and each exhibition of skill was rc- , } warded with rounds of generous ap- , plause. I The announcement that Miss Ethelda 1 Blcibftev, coach of the Ambassador | r Club, Atlantic City, and the world's champion, would give exhibitions of swimming, had raised expectations , high. Nor were they disappointed in the remotest degree. Miss Bleibtrey dem- ! i nnstratcd her skill and prowess in the water, to the satisfaction of the most , critical spectator. | Every movement was grace personi- i . fled, and the exertion did not in the . ! mar the artistic beauty of her f performance. ( : Miss Bleibtrey was accompanied by . | several members of the Ambassador ' i Clul), who participated in the cmMest 1 I arranged for them, or gave cxlrouonj , of the different methods of swimming1 'and diving. Another very interesting perform- j ;ancc was that of Miss Ada Taylor. Her demonstration of log-rolling and! somersaults in the water was cleverly | executed. Miss Alma Mann, Champion of thej • Panama Zone, and a member of the famous Red, White, and Blue Troop, gave an exciting exhibition of swimming bound hands and feet in chains. During her stay at the coast, Miss Mann js the guest of the Ambassador Club, Atlantic City, The 80 yards race between Lee Jarvis, Champion of the United States, south of the Mason and Dixon Line, and Pat Riley, former Middle Atlantie States Champion, was a spectacular event, ending in the defeat of the local participant, Riley. - • The exhibition of Fancy Diving, given by both men and women, captivated the spectators completely. This perhaps was to most the stellar performanee-of the carnival. | The performers leaped andetavorted ''into the pool in all imaginable attij tudes, and doing alf conceivable stunts j liesides the styles of diving which I have become classic. Another most pleasing feature in the carnival to Ocean City boosters, : was the skill demonstrated by tbe | members of tbeBeaeh Patrol. In the fifty yard race for men, the guards carried off the three medals; land In the 100 yards race, PawlTng i gave the Mason and Dixon line camIpion, all he could do to keep first piaee. Had not Pawling gene a tittle out 'of his course, and slowed up' to get

e his bearings, the Southerner would ; c have returned very probably without I the prize. i W. Ward Beam, the popular nthe ietc, and sports director, proved an e invaluable acquisition to the carnival. It is a question in fact, whether . the spectators were not more inter- . ested in what Mr. Beam had to say, j and his witty sallies. than they were r in the events. W. Ward Beam was the Mark j, Twain of the occasion. With an inexh haustable fund of humor at his com- ! If mand, a wonderful vocabulary of sup- _ orlatives, a happy gift of saying the . right thing at the right time, and 1 brimming full of genial goodfellowa ship, he kept the crowds convulsed, r , with laughter. g In addition, his executive ability, f and experience in sports, attributed s' no small part to the success of the . water carnival. - c Ewing T. Corson acted as timekeep- . er and starter with unqualified suee cess. J. W. Morrison, elkirman of t the sports committee, was on hand • supervising affairs. 1 The ladies of the Ambassador Club e who participated were in raptures over r the lagoon. In their judgement it was >an ideal place for swimming, and y should be developed into a great swim,r ming center for the coast it !

e FINE PERFORMANCE 1 : OF THE HIAWATHA BY ^ SNELLENBURG CHOIR :- PROF. HENRY GORDON THUNDER I- AND HIS^PLENDID CHOIR J y SCORES FINE TRIUMPH The second annual concert of the . N. Snellenburg Company Choral So- > ciety, given at the city music pavilion, ^ last Sunday evening, measured fully up to expectations. .| e Prof. Henry Gordon Thunders repu- " tation as a musician and conductor p was more than sustained, it was a signal triumph in musical 'art. The interpretation of the several classics ' included in the program was superb, I ' the intonation and the phrasing, ( throughout splendid. ^ f The massed voices were well balanc- j ^ cd, the attack in the fugue and semi- 1 1 s fugue executed with faultless preci- a r : sion, and one or two of the numbers t rendered reached the acme of perfec- s " tion. i * Particularly effective was the "Greeting to Spring" rendered. The o rhythm of the music maintained ii faultnessly and the presentation of u the theme scholarly. s Coleridge-Taylor's beautiful musical } ' setting, to Lonfellow's immortal song o to Hiawatha's Wedding Feast, was Ia memorable performance. Seldom has \ the difficult work been given so t | thoughtful an interpretation. The mysticism of the Indian Cluirac- Iter, the breath of the prairies, the 1 i S magic of the night, #wcre all most | r I faithfully reproduced. ' r. Prof. Thunder hns succeeded to ah degree that is rare, even for conduc- ■ tors of professional choirs, to instill j| J into the minds of tlic singers, a very I < , clear conception of the imagery of | , the wonderful poem. . Prof. Thunder's choral arrangement t of Sullivan's popular song, "The Lost ( Chord," is a work of real genius, to c d ; whidi the choir did ample justice. The r ,j accompaniment provided by the Snell- ( , cnbarg Band left nothing to be der sired. c n George C. A. Detwiler, the buss,, ! soloist, gave an artistic rendering of , ,r the "Invictus," while Horace Clem- ] t .. ent's rendition of Verdi's "Celeste | f Aida," was very satisfactory. ' N . CITY FATHERS PRAISED : FOB STRONG ACTION UN : BOARDWALK SITUATION PUBLIC DEMAND IMMEDIATE ' r, STEPS BE TAKEN TO RE- i « MOVE DANGER * The action taken by the City Com- j missioners to remove a perilous situation on the Boardwalk, is meeting 1 with universal approval. '' * The narrow space on the Boardwalk near Morris Johnson's property was ' the scene of what pradtcally amount- ' ed to a riot Sunday evening, with a T crowd of over 800 people jammed to- i ' 18 gether, many in danger of being d trampled under foot, or hurled over to the ground below. The assistance of the police was ' 8 called. The City Commissioners were 1 beseiged on every hand to take action. Several Boardwalk merchant" are 18 reported to hare threatened to enter 19 suits against the municipality, if 18 nothing was done to remove the crisis. ' The City Commissioners were reluctant to force the issue in view of '■ the fact that the appointment of a ' commission of condemnation was ' '* pending. Names had been submited to Judge , Donges, by Andrew C. Boswell, for the 1 municipality, and Jddge Cole representing Johnson.

MASSEY "IT YVILL NOT BE COMPANY'S FAULT IF BRIDGE IS NOT FREE AUGUST 15" P. ENDICOTT DETAILS WHAT ATLANTIC CITY PAGEANT SHOULD MEAN TO OCEAN CITY AND WHY OCEAN CITY SHOULD PARTICIPATE

The second Membership and Civic i ! Banquet, demonstrated that ! , City is keeping step with the ' i genius of progress. It further demonstrated that when ! j thej Chamber of Commerce initiates Movement, for the advancement of j the community, it is capable of pursuing the objective, with a tenacity:: f. purpose which brooks not defeat.}1 At the first banquet the Chamber,: of Commerce embarked upon an am*!' hitious program of development. Vari- j ous projects were launched amid ' scenes of great enthusiasm. Too frequently However, in the case j - of similar organizations and public the enthusiasm seldom sur- : vires the night. The perfervid ora- • tions dissolve into ccholcss silence. Ocean City's Chamber of Commerce} proved a happy exception. Dur- 1 1 the interregnum various com- j mlttees have been at work, and were; able on Thursday to report material ! • ' and substantial progress. The spacious dining room of the: 'Lincoln Hotel presented an inspiring, The spirit of good-fellowship reigned. All differences of opinion, and of class distinctions, all petty | thoughts of rivalry and selfish com- } petition, were engulfed in art infinite j rxperienonof-united effort mid unani- ' mity of purpose, for the greatest good the greatest number. Ocean City occupied the first place evidently in the minds of ail present; ! ' self, and self-centered interest" were of vary minor significance, if not altogether forgotten. All were in a festal mood. There' was mirth, jest, and a genial inter- j 1 change of banter; nevertheless under- f lying all was felt a seriousness of ! objective indicating that the company J i had met for another purpose, than that of trifiing away an idle hour. ! I ! It was a meeting of busy men seri-| i j ously bent upon serious problems, and j j endeavoring with considerable success : to blend work with play. Clayton Haines Brick sat in the i Toastmaster's chair, and filled it admirably, in more senses than one. As a master of the ceremonies for such an occasibn, Mr. Brick could not be excelled. With * ready fund of wit and repartee at command, keen and shrewd, a man accustomed to eon- , duct business in a business-like maniiprand with dispatch, respected and able to command respect, be maniput iated the rains of authority with , splendid dexterity, and not a moment , lacked interest and enthusiasm. ^ Before entering upon the evening's program, the president E. M. Sutton, t railed the Chamber of Commerce to , order for a brief business session, and ■ requested W. E. Massey to make a! * statement, relative to the situation r . ppertaining to the automobile bridge, f Mr. Massey mule it clear that the matter now rest* entirely, with the state legal authorities, f The title deeds and all necessary ( documents were in the hands of the ! Attorney-General. The Automobile

: Company had done everything t humanly possible to expidite the free- > ing of the bridge, and it would not be the fault of the Company, of the i bridge was not free by the date ani | nounccd. r Speaking in behalf of the Company, . Mr. Massey added that there was not r nn officer or a member of the diree- . toratc, who did not desire tbe bridge r free, as devoutly as any peraoi in the - 1 community. Howard J. Slocum, chairman of the I j committee followed with a report ap- ^ pertaining to the beach-front hotel sj project. Mr. Slocum volunteered the s information that Mr. Mayer, a rep- - } resentative of the Hockenbury System - was in the city, ready to launch the | finance campaign. It transpired further 4hat Mr. - Mayer was present in the room, and - at the call of the chair, was introduced t ; to the assembly. 1 Mr. Mayer in briefly responding to } the cordial reception accorded him, e } stated that in a few days every perg son in the city would know the Hockp f enbury men were on the field. Judging from the enthusiasm prai- ; vailing in the meeting apropos the - hotel, he predicted the campaign would s | far exceed their most sanguine ex- - [ pcctations. ] If any doubts or fears existed in the minds of any person present at * s ' the banquet relative to the advisability ~ ; . and feasability, of the city undertake ing to erect a mammoth hotel on the [-'beach- front at this time. Mayor Joeeph G. Champion's speech must have e ' scouted them to the winds. - No doubt exists in the mind of tbe -, Mayor. He .realised the days, just f about twelve years ago, when Oeeen f | City embarked upon the daring exn pcriment of building a bungalow. The . mere suggestion of building a brmga- , low or an apartment bouse, was red ga riled by many as a symptom of mild 8 insanity, and by others as courting financial suicide. By today there are e hundreds scattered over the dty, and I- all are most profitable investments. The time was long ripe for a beach' r front hotel. When one had been eotn- * pleted, and the public saw the success ' of the project. Mayor Cham plow vend tared to predict, that the dty would ■ build a hotel every year. " Almost every community has a d hotel before it has anything else, said the Mayor. On the contrary, Oeeen ■J aty has almost everything else ra;t quired to the making of a dty, but , has no hotel. 8 Mayor Champion scorned the Idea '• that the hotel would prove a financial " i failure. Ocean aty had never failed i in any project it had undertaken. •I Thomas P. Endieott, Direetor-Geo- " eral of the Atlantic City Pageant, was B- the next speaker; called upon by the e Toastmaster to explain, what the pag- " cant would mean to Ocean Oty, and ! what would it benefit the dty to pery tidpete in the pageant 8 It (ii(L.«st fake Mr. Endieott kmg to * (OoMlnnad sn Ktflh fw]
