| Only with consummate tact and j diplomacy, did President E. M. : Sutton, prevent the meeting held i on Monday evening, under the nn- ' spices of the ('hardier of Tom-i I nirrre, from developing into sonic - I thing sensational, j Never was Mr. Sutton's skill in , i Ihc coil luct of a meeting shown t •! better advantage. Moments ofl1 intense feeling occurred and some sliarp and stinging retorts flow!1 hack and forth. The Boardwalk,1 merchants were present in strong '' numbers, evidently we'l prepared for all exigencies. ] At the outset. President Snttonii callc.1 upon Ewing T. Corson for a j i relative to the postal card ' I refcremltim. Mr. Corson stated It that -1000 cards had been sent out, 'i requesting the recipient to signify whether or not, they were in favor * of the sale of candy on Sunday. |t In all, a little over 1500 replies had f been rcecivcd, showing the follow- i ing results: For the sale of candy .. 1200 ' Against the sale 340 I A majority of 800 therefore had1' voted in favor of the sale of candy |c on the Sunday. Several persons | 1 had enclosed letters conveying f their reasons for voting the way they had, together with the card,;! several of which were read at the < meeting. j i Several persons inrluding Albert'" Monrrief, desired tq learn why ! I candy, more than any other com- t mmiitv. had been pennliicd. Presi- t dent Sutton undertook to interpret action of the City Commission- ( C rrs in reply. Ho referred to tfic |» time when the sale of practically j » commodities was prohibited in I R resort. To accommodate visi- ii however, a degree of latitude 1 was gradually conceded. The hire " of bathing suits was permitted, to- : P of thing pennitted, ,

. gcther with the sale of newspa■j soft drinks, ice cream, rigors, t ■ ;nnd finally candy. In process of i ■ time however, certain - merchants |i to abuse the inilblgenre. A t ',ho\ of cigars or a few pounds nf't I j andy were udded, merely as an j ( : evcusc to krep open on Sunday for1 tire sale of other merchandise. ' ' In view of these facts, the May- v or had come to regard the sale of ! ' I candy as a menace, which would!' eventually lead to an open Sunday i 4 and for that reason had detennin- ! " cd to prohibit it. In conclusion Mr. Sutton added ; J that hi his judgment the one so-ji lution to the problem, was the cs- I tahlishment of a mercantile tax. $ City Solicitor Boswell. at the re-'e quest of the chair spoke. stating| that the referendum would not in1,, i tlie remotest degree, change the r attitude of tlie City Commission- 1 f CrL !b Trie nrdinnncc regulating the ! ] sale of different commodrties on | ( the Sunday, had been framed and p passol to safeguard the city n-!i . gainst the abuses to which the 1 1 . president hml referred.

W. Wartl Beam has consented to conduct a class in physical train- . ang for ladies at the Studio de ; Dance on the Boardwalk. The . class will meet twice weekly on j Monday and Thursday at 10.30 a. As a physical director, and a past-master in the science, Ward [ Beam needs no introduction in this section of the country.

To ! counteract this defect, Mr. Beam introduces a remarkably long rep- " ertoire of changes into the lessons. ' A new lesson each class and a new " exercise each lesson. Furthermore, he lias succeeded • a degree equalled by very few 1 physical directors in introdndw the clement of play into the exercise. Members of his classes look forward to each succeeding lesaon as a form of real entertainment and amusement, not in the remotest degree conscious of weariness or fatigue. This in fnct is the secret of his phenomenal success as physical director of various educational institutions both in Philadelphia and Atlantic City. The classes will last an hour, in one of the most delightful places ' on the Boardwalk, the Hippodrome ' • Pier, and he strictly informaL !
