MANY DOINGS AT FENTON'S BEACH
FENTON'S BEACH, July 2.

The auxiliary bark R. C. Rickmers, from Bremerhaven, which went aground this side of Marcus Hook on Friday night is now laying off Fenton Beach taking on that portion of her cargo that had to be lightered in order to float the big vessel.

The reason the bark proceeded as far as Deep Water Point was to prevent possible grounding on Cherry Island flats.

The vessel is bound for Hiago, Japan, laden with 190,000 cases of refined petroleum. She is one of the largest sailing vessels in the world, registering at 12,000 tons. As soon as her cargo is again completed she will proceed.

Work on laying out the baseball diamond in the park back of the beach will be started tomorrow. A fence twelve feet high will be erected back of the home plate.

A piano was placed in the dancing pavilion yesterday. There will be dancing for the first time on Fourth of July afternoon and evening.

Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Stayton have placed a piano in their cottage.

Mr. and Mrs. Elwood E. Siemen have named their cottage the "U and I."

Lewis A. Bower went to Philadelphia on business today.

Captain William Spead, the lighthouse keeper has a vegetable garden that is the envy of all the residents on the beach.

Members of the German class at the Wilmington High school on a two weeks vacation at the beach, had a potato roast on the sand last night and the tubers were much enjoyed.

Pipe has been purchased to run the delicious water from the farm back of the beach to the grove and to the cottages along the beach.

Captain Norton, of the Fenton Beach boat "Anna" says there is a barber at Penn's Grove who cuts hair on bald heads for ten cents. The barber's name is Walker and his acquaintances call him "Goodie." He says it is misfortune enough for a man to lose most of his hair without insulting him by charging the regulation for a hair cut.
