Miss Tot- i ten i hd ample justice both to the ! iharacter and work of one of the I outstanding figures upon the stage | of European politics. t An oration on "The Power of I Music" by Miss Elizabeth Redrew t Sinkinson was a worthy tribute I both to the speaker and her teach i ers.

: TROUBLES s DELAY OPERATIONS ;; ON GARDENS TRACT d * FOR FIRST TIME ELECTRIC f POWER TO BE USED IN OPERATING HUGE DREDGE n The fiyiuent break downs of the r. Little Giant sand dredge, which is I- filling in the large tract of land in '- thc Ganlens :,*tion for the Mcy l.-iughlan-Conover Company, has delayed llio improvements to that e tract, so that it :s live months hc- - hind 011 thc work. ;® Tl is operation will require nears ly a million cubic vards of sand. e 1; 00, 000 yards were to have been jj ilcpositcil 011 thc trary hv July 1st, ® hut the actual work of pumping did not start until March, instead ^ of January, as expected. Since then trouble with tlie maf thinery has been frequent and .. there have been many days when , no sand has heen pum|<cd. Now a , new pump has been installed ard it t is expected that thc work will go . on with less trouble. Within a week or so a new system will be installed 011 the dredge ( ami when that is completed there j, • ught to be 110 further delays. A I, > 500-horse power electric motor has , , leer, purchased which will drive , | the pump by electric tower, to be h . furnished by the local company. 1 1 , This will do away with the steam | , I oiler and engine, which has given 1 . so much trouble in the past. j 1 This will be thc first time 'that 1 1 : electric power is used i.i operating sand dredge and its effect will 1 dredge will c

watched with interes'. It isl likely that the Hill Company will! . equip their other sand dredges j with motors if this works out sat- , isfartory. With thc new pump and thc 500 5 horse power motor it ought to lie ■ . possible to pump sand at the rate - : of 200,000 cubic yards a month, - | and if this is accomplished, the , first division of thc McLaughlinConover tract will be completed in . H. Y. Clouting, who has the con- ] tract for the street work and re- ; ment curbing and sidewalks, has ; large gang of men on the job 1 ' and expects to complete several ' , streets this week. The McLaughlin-Conover Com- < pany regret that thc work has not I progressed more rapidly, but it ' heen no fautl of theirs, as the contracts were aawrded last No- ' vemher for thc work. It is expect- j ed that deliveries to the lots will > start within a week, of the lots ' which are now filled to grade and ' where thc sidewalks and streets are now being completed. CARD PARTY J A delightful card party was . at the Ocean City Yacht Club , on Tuesday evening, for members , ami guests. A large number at- . tended.

Day Will Be Celebrated With Ambitious T Program Of Festivities . PLANS INCLUDE BAND CONCERT, PATRIOTIC MEETING WITH PROMINENT SPEAKERS. SWIMMING EVENTS, YACHT J® RACES AND A FINE PYROTECHNIC DISPLAY In . . ....

Day will lie prop- 1 ls crlv observed and celebrated this; year with an ambitious program of festivities. Thus was made certain at a meeting held in the Com- 1 missioners' Room, City Hull, en i I Monday evening, when represenu-l '• tives of various civic organizations | " in thc city met to deliberate over ' and outline plans. Jj The celebrations this year are; sponsored by the Chamber of Com- 1 mcrcc. At the last meeting of the 1 : Chamber, President Sutton named 1 ] II Elmer Jackson Pearl as chairman ! " of a committee to that effect, and ! . J it was in response to an invitation 1 1 - sent out by the latter to all other1, 5 organizations in the city, thc meet- ! | ing was held Monday evening. Mr. I'carl hud evidently given | the matter considerable thought, , ' . and came primed with tentative t L plans. It was vitally necessary, j 'I said Mr. Pearl to hold some form I s of celebration. Ocean City was . ' facing a critical periotl in its his- 1 • and every means which might r 1 1 serve for purposes of publicity and s > a means of bringing visitors into e the city, should be heartily sup- 1 t ( ported. r As a liasis for deliberation Mr. b I outlined a very full program 1 ' Pearl program

s! which Included among thc usual I 'features of a Fourth of July colcs j brutlon, a surf casting tournament, - an adult or baby parade, and a ten nis tournament. D In response 'to the chair Mayor e Joseph G. Champion pledged the1 B support of the Commissioners and j !, a most substantial appropriation ; e from the dty treasury. Discussing the program sug1 gested however, thc Mayor considered it too elaborate. In his jurigc- - ment a parade was impracticable. . He favored a patriotic meeting, < swimming events and a fireworks > display in the evening. They should | not overlook the fact, he said, that anything which tended to draw the: . crowd away from the Boardwalk,1 t invariably met with strong oppo- : sition from that quarter. . Thc Mayor added that he could . not promise great financial aid . from the city funds. The advertis- | ing appropriation was la-coming 1 exhausted, with several other, I events anticipated before the sea-' 1 son closed. Several other speakers n greed with thc Mayor in thc main j including Mr. Harry Ellis, representing the Ocean City Yacht Club, , Drs. Buck and Voegelin, Messrs. } Ibrchfield and Tinkler, representing , , the Anglers' Club, Commissioner Campbell, Bertram Darby and J.I, R. Jones. Bearing in mind that the last year's festivities had resulted in a deficit, it was decided that thc com ing ceremonies should be on a more modest scale. The majority ' present favored the engagement of : one good hand for the day, rather than two or three playing in difparts of the city, ami divid- 1 the crowd. Borne discussion arose concern- 1 ing the most fitting time for the , patriotic meeting. Some favored 1 the afternoon, others the evening 1 just before the fireworks. Harry Ellis stated that on Julv i the Yacht Club invariably . 1 s

"| kept open house. He also felt cers j tain that arrangements would also j 11 i Ire made for a scries of yacht and - i boat races on the bay. -I All favored swimming events in 11 thc lagoon in thc afternoon and cf- - forts will l>e made to secure the s I presence of celebrate,! swimmers r | to give exhibitions. ; Mr. Pearl appointed the follows | ing to act as a general Sports , - 1 Committee: Messrs Kirtz, Harry | 7 Ellis, Ewing T. Corson ami Leon ! 1 'Leopold. ] John II. Jones and Harold Paris 1 1 I were appointed a committee on , ' | music for the day. John R. Jones ; " , was also named as chairman of the ' Finance Committee. , 'Hre program thus outlined will r 1 Like thc order as follows: Band I ■ concert in the morning. During s 1 the afternoon from 2 o'clock until r • 4 o'clock, swimming events in thc < followed at 4.30 o'clock by 1 a patriotic meeting held in the 11 Music Pavilion. A speaker of prominence will l»c secured, and a \ special program of music arrang- v ed. In the evening at 9.15, a ( pyrotechnic display, consisting of s 128 magnificent pieces, proceeded :i a hand concert. f

Howard Slocum, one acknowby hotclmcn to he one of the most successful hotel managers the country, the project therefore cannot fail to prove a very lucrative investment Having raised approximately the remaining $350,000 should present 110 formidable task. There are a sufficient number of persons, whose property holdings have increased enormously in value, through the Flanders Hotel, while even in process of construc>t- construc-

-d tion, who have so far not purchassy ed a single bond, to raise twice 11 ' the amount in an hour. Ocean City ic expects every man and woman to e- do his or her duty. This is the >n slogan which spells victory. 11 Eight team captains named W. E. Massey. C. C. Read, E. M. Sut1- ton, J. R. Jones, John Foster, 8. B. :r Swan, T. W. Mould and Floyd C. r- Sums, have been selected, each ly in command of ten salesmen. The 1- drive is on. Civic pride, and a sense of duty should be suffhjfler ' a to prompt every person -erfCited, Id to do his or her utmost to make y thc campaign a triumph. 1 The captains and their respective 1- teams will moct at the Normandie Hotel for final instructions. An .f opportunity will be given those c «'ho have not subscribed to do so, I, and those who have not subscrib- |. ed to the extent they can and i, should do, to increase their oblic gations. I, Mr. Slocum anticipates that a j part of the Hotel at least, will be ready to receive its first guests on July 20th, providing of course that P no unforseen obstacle arises, r The opening will be celebrated by the greatest festivities ever witnessed in the dty. At the banquet, the team which succeeded in disposing of the greatest amount of stock, will be given U[e table and place of honor. Rivalry already runs high and I the competition promises to be very keen. With Dr. Allen Corson as general chairman of tlie campaign, infusing into it his inexhaustablc enthusiasm and energy, there can be no question concern- • ing the final results. His vocabulary contains, or is capable of Including every word in Webetars, hut the word defeat and its syno-

• Not only will the Flanders Hor tel prove a profitable investment, 1 which is of far greater mo- - ment, it will prove the means of clevuting thc resort to a higher f level of social prestige and infiu- • ence, than it has so far attained. t wilt furnish thc one thing neces- . to give the resort a metropo- . tone, and make it a great I city. It will atiract the one dass 1 of patrons needed to add dignity i the dty never before poMiiiMiied ' All persons having property interests in the dty, will of neces- - sity benefit from this; therefore an - equal responsibility rests upon all, ' support and make possible ita speedy completion. When solicited therefore, let every patriotic person bear in mind that Ocean Citv expects him J or her to do his .or her duty. CLASSIFIED ADVS.
