ATLANTIC CITY. August 21. 1**?.
Notwithstanding all varieties of weath
er during the early part of the week.
Atlantic City, lias not lost its good na
ture or its high spirits. The first thing
it did after the storm had rioted It
self away was to send the Atlantic City
Golf Club team over to Cape May and
beat the Tape May lofters ID to 9.
People slept under double blankets the
most of the week, and when the summer
girl wearing an ulster over her lingerie
dress was asked why ?he did not go over
to see the Ocean City carnival she
replied that she would really love to go,
but it was a water tr'p and she was
afraid of meeting icebergs.
The last of the week saw a gradual re
turn to normal pleasant weather, and
the people rushed into the surf in great
numbers, begrudging the day or two of
angry breakers that prevented them
earlier in the week.
A big storm struck Atlantic City dur
ing the early part of the week with the
wind blowing at the rate of thirty-six
miles an hour. Not to be outdone, the
old ocean got on a rampage and lashed
the piers and threw breakers and spray
up on the Boardwalk. It was the most
severe storm in Atlantic City since 1884).
The breakers rolled inward with great
masses of foam, and so rough was the
sea that no life guard boat was launched
all day, although there were several
hundred bathers who went in anyway.
A little child was brown through the
railing of the Board wail; and toppled over
on the sand below, but no harm was
done. Rolling chairs were blown over
and awnings torn to shreds.
A, serious accident occurred when a
rolling chair went over with a woman
inside. The woman's head was jammed
through the glass in the rear of the chair,
and her neck badly cut. The chaii
pusher slipped and the chair fell on him,
cutting' his han^s and arms badly.
The vast crowds of people who want to
go into the surf, and all about the same
hour, is making the bathhouse problem
rather serious. The bathhouse barons, aa
a rule, try to please their patrons, but
now and then some of the employes need
a calling down, and one of them received
it this week at the hands of an irate
Philadelphia man. It seems that tfce
man and his wife had engaged a com
partment for themselves, and after takin*
their dip in the surf, returned to dress.
In the meantime, the bathhouse man had
rented the room to a third party. While
the man and wife were in the early stages
of a toilet, the bathhouse man demanded
to come in and get the third party's
clothes. This was refused, for a time,
when the bathhouse man burst open the
door, while the lady inside was still
dressing. The Philadelphia man had him
arrested and held under $o,u00 bail to
keep the peace, and $400 to wait the
action of the grand jury for assault
Whatever the outcome, it is a timely
warning to too impetuous bathhouse lords.
Some of the wealthy class of people
here have instituted a new phase of bath
house. which bids fair to be very popular
with those who own automobiles. They
simply jump into their machines when
the bathing hour approaches and whizz
down to the foot of one of the fash
ionable avenues, to a spot near the water.
There they pull down the shades of the
automobile, don bathing attire, and go
out on the beach, leaving instructions
for this unio.ue movable bathhouse to re
turn at a stated hour. Some of the
machines are fitted up with every luxury
inside, and a maid to button and unbut
ton and readjust tousled chignons.
That the tremendous crowds which
throng to Atlantic City are making it a
very prosperous place needs no words to
affirm it when the sight of new exten
sions to hotels and new buildings of a
substantial nature arc constantly going
up. ' .
Down at Chelsea the P.rode property be
I tw^en Morris avenue and Chelsea avenue
i was purchased for $80o a foot, to be the
i site of a quarter-million-dollar hostelry
! by William II. Steble. a real estate man
1 oi" Philadelphia. The ground for the
hotel came to $200,000. the highest price
i over paid for ground in that section. The
! new hot- I will be a fireproof structure of
1 ""-anite, brick and concrete, and wM cost
s_'50,<?00. Work will begin shortly and
the structure will lie completed by July 1
of next year.
The Hotel Osiend. at Boston avenue and
the Boardwalk, in that same section, will
have a new addition containing eighteen
rooms and four baths, at arf estimated
cost to Mr. Clarence Bush, Its owner, of
$2i"i.000.
The Hotel Strand, on Pennsylvania ave
nue and the Boardwalk, is already build
ing a handsome new and substantial addi
tion. reaching to nearly the Boardwalk.
Under observation of Lieut. Hamlet of
the United States revenue cutter service,
members of the Atlantic City life-saving ,
station w -nt through their usual quarter-.
lv insDectiori and drill. Similar inspec !
t":ons are held every three months. The
drill includes the lowering of the surf
boat maneuvers of the buoy and line, and
I a test drill with the breeches buoy, as
i well as tiring tiie life line. All this great -
j lv interested the thousands of Inland
I visitors who were on the Boardwalk while
it was going on.

LONG BRANCH. N. J., August ill. 1009.
In every respect the week closing lias
been the gayest of the season. The usual
mid-August dullness has been eliminated
by the new attractions which have pre
vented the exodus to the mountains that
usually follows the horse show. Next
year it is proposed that some special en
tertainment be provided for every week
in the ten-week season, from July $ to
Labor day. An aquatic carnival is sug
gested for one of 'these. So great was
the interest taken in the swimming and
diving contests Wednesday that It would
be comparatively easy, it is thought, to
arrange a series of such contes.s lasting
several days, which would be more than
a state affair.

At the threshold of its greatest niid
summer carnival thousands qf visitors ar??
pouring Into the queen* report. All the
hotels and board 11 g houses are rilled, and
the lookout tonight is one to lttspiro un
restrained optimism on the part of the
hotel proprietors, v ho are rounding a
bad beginning into a veritable harvest.
Deal lake during the fete will present
an entrancing scene. From both hanks
of the water myriads of electric lights
festooned into a grand circle extending
the full length of the lake will give color
and beauty to the encircling lines of
decorated launches and small craft, yueeu
Titania and her fairies are presumed to
arrive from their fairyland haunts on the
night of the Deal lake carnival. They
will cross the waters uf the lake, and
first step foot upon the soil of the queen's
newly acquired domain. The approach
of the queen's barge will be announced
by buglers stationed around the lake and
her reception by the civil authorities will
be accompanied by a national salute. Ev
ery movement as planned will be made
with military nicety and precision. For
an hour or more the beautiful expanse
of Deal lake will be aflame with colored
tire. Several hundred dollars have been
expended in s.lver loving cups?the tro
phies for which the decorated craft of
every description and ringing organiza
tions will compete. Among the hotels
interest in the water fete has taken ex
pressive form. Decorated floats will l>e

hattan and Lafayette.
September 1 is to be masque fete night.
The masque fete, in connection with the
Asbury Park carnival, is the piece de re
sistance. Around the incidents of masque
fete night center all the enthusiasm of
Queen Titania's subject. They will frolic
with Puck, the inspiring figure of fun,
along the Boardwalk on Ocean avenue,
into the streets and highways, VJ3.0<?
revelers beat upon extracting from the
quickly passing hours all the fun and
pleasure possible to compass in a short
period. Puck will pass 'through the
crowd and touch upon the shoulder with
his magic wand those of the maskers
who are eligible for knighthood. They
will be brought several.y before the
queen, and upon bended knee receive the
order of distinction and try to realize that
it is all real.
Next Saturday afternoon and evening
the children's greeting to the queen will
take place in the amphitheater. This
event. Intended to replace the court ball,
a feature for former years, will enlist the
services of boo children, >\ho will give
"The Mocking Bird."
For the coming of Queen Titania and
her court into the royal realm a military
fete will be the feature Thursday night,
the details of which have been cleverly
worked out by President Ajres and Col.
Aymar of the carnival assoc'ation.
The greatest interest, of course, centers
in the nineteenth annual baby parade,
which will take place Thursday afternoon.

staff, together with a host of distinguished
