It seems that after failing in thetr attempts to get married a day or two ago, Dr. Hicks being a divorced man, they met last night at the Inverness Irn to try to persuade a clergyman who is staying there’ to perform the ceremony. The clergyman refused. This morning they mounted their wheels and set out to Lynn- haven Bay, where Dr. Robinson made them man and wife. Miss Spier’s brother fol- lowed the couple in a buggy, but failed to overtake them before the nuptial knot was tied. Miss Spier is said to be wealthy. An- other event of interest was a coaching party, given by Mrs. J. B. Brown Thurs. ful, its rougher feature having long since been worn down, while its slopes are cov- ered with grass and trees. There are many beautiful walks and drives about here. The Bear's Den, a rough ledge of rocks drop- ping abruptly off into the Shenandoah val- ley, is_a favorite picnicking ground, while from Eagle’s Rock one commands a mag- nificent view of both the Loudoun and Shenandoah valleys. The first big dance of the season was held at the Blue Ridge Inn last Tuesday even- ing. There were visitors from all the sur- rounding counties, and some two hundred were gathered to pass away the evening in merrymaking. This is a great point for black bass fish- ermen. The Shenandoah is hard by, and some excellent catches have been made this year, although the river has been rather muddy recently. Juvenile Ball, a Reversible, Cake Walk and Concerts Entertain the Guests—Late Arrivals. Special Correspondence of The Evenlag Star. OCEAN CITY, Md., August 10, 1897. The much-talked-of children’s ball at the Atlantic came off last week,when the juve- nile elerent here was at high tide, and it wes a howling success, particularly in its prelude, when the floor was ziven over to the infant population of Ocean City. The ball opened with a very pretty march and drill, under the direction of Miss Alma Smoot. There were upward of one hun- dred children in line, led by Miss Edna Breesee and Miss Emily Upshur. Con- spicuous among the small men and women on the floor were the Misses Christine Fox, Ellen Mildred Fearn and Master Richard Lee Fearn of Washington. A novel and extremely ludicrous enter- tainment of the past week was the ‘‘Re- versible” at the Atlantic, which was the occasion of much hilarious enjoyment. The Idea was to confuse the spectator as to whether the participant was going or com- ing. The affair wound up in a cake walk, the cake, which=was carefully concealed beneath a snowy napkin, proving to be a carpet foot stool. It was awarded to Mrs. Thomas Smythe and Miss Clara Young. The Plinhimmon Casino was crowded :o its utmost Friday night, the occasion being @ concert by the guests of the house. The hall was tastefully decorated with Chinese lanterns, flags and bunches of laarel. Those who, either by their vocal or in- strumental performance, contribited to the enjoyment of the evening were Messrs. Blanchard, Carter, Shaw, Hildreth, Leutz- burgh, Nichols, and Mesdames Shaw, Nica- ols and Mason. Rev. Father Payne of Warrenton, Va., Bave a young people's sailing party one af- ternoon last week, chaperoned by Mrs. James D. Power of Washington, who is one of the most popular matrons at Ocean City this summer. ‘Through the instrumentality of Mrs. A. F. Childs a weather bureau has been es- tablished at the Atlantic Hotel. The sig- nal flags float from its eastern balcony at all times and the weather forecasts are regularly ited on the hotel bulletin board. Mrs..John Talty of Washington, who, with her family, is spending the summer at the Plinhimmon, will build her own cottage here next spring. She has already purchased the ground adjoining the United States life saving station, which, by the way, is in the heart of swelldom. Miss Juliette Thompson, the Washing- ton artist, is at the Plinhimmon with her mother and brother. The full-dress hop at the Atlantic Sat- urday night was more than usually crowd- ed. Next Saturday it will take the form of a bal poudre. The program for the Atlantic concert to- night is an unusually fine one. With one eeeeion, the performers are Washington- fans. W. H. Babbitt and F. W. Clements, the tenor of the Metropolitan Church, and family are at the Swell. eee ES Special Officer Punished. Altras D. Cunningham, a special police ofticer, living on 11th street northeast, was today before Judge Mills on the charge of threatening to do bodily harm to John M. King, and also of disorderly conduct and carrying a concealed weapon. It was shown that the latter was a toy pistol, and that charge was dismissed, but he was fined $5 for disorderly conduct, and re- quired to give a bond in $100 to keep the peace. —_—__ Marriage Licenses, Marriage licenses have been issued by the clerk of the court to the following: White—William W.
