OPENING OF SEA ISLE CIIK BANK (Continued from Page One.) J Bank, of New York, and Hiram S. Mowrer of the first National ( Bank, of Ocean City. Gordon Landis presided before the window, appointed the receipt of Christmas club deposits. The First National Bank of Sea < Isle City ,i> established in a cen- , tral location, and occupies what , was hitherto known as the home , of the late Morris Boney of Hiila- , delphia. Kumor has it that the , palatial residence -was built by | Mr. Boney with the view of pre- < renting it as a gift to the late , Grover Cleveland, when President of the United States. The architecture of the house. . and particularly the internal decorations lend color to the rumor. , Few financial institutions are there, boused in quarters possessing so much which appeals to the artistic sense aad the instinct of! the beautiful. The 'Women's Civic Club of Sea Isle City, honored the auspicious occasion by sending a beautiful liasket of choke flowers to ornament the establishment, and wBen later a delegation appeared before President Amett to convey the felicitations of the society they represented. The delegation of ladies included: Meadames James J. Ilagan, L. J. Downey, Thomas Node, Henry Brooks, J. C. Gallon, Turner Pope Gray, William G. klemm, George Soeder and Mrs. William Joeher.

On the day of opening a total of *6,500 membership was received, this in addition to the *125,390.16 given as the amount of the first day's deposits. The great dajr terminated in a banquet and band concert. The dinner was given in the Bellevuc Hotel, to visiting bankers and dty officials.
