ATLANTIC CITY, August 28, 1909.
Atlantic City haa been blessed with the
most perfect weather that can well be
imagined, and the midsummer vacationist
should send us a vote of thanks. Clear,
cool air, bright sunlight and a pleasant
breeze, and. best of all, the surf Just the
right temperature for bathing, have made
the resort the magnet for throngs.
Everything is overflowing with people.
One goes to the theater and every seat is
occupied, or to the piers and has to hunt
for chairs. The beach chairs are all
filled and the Boardwalk and beach
packed.
Next month Atlantic City will welcome
the Knights Templar, and the Atlantic
City Commandery of the Knights Tem
plar are already training for the big
street parade and costume drills to be
given here, when thousands of Templars
from all over the state will invade the
resort. ,
The Templars will come to the shore
during what has been designated as "Ma
Sonic week," when the city will have as
its guests a distinguished visitation from
nearly every branch of Masonry.
With the Templars there will be the
Shriners, the Tall Cedars and others.
It was a crisp, cool, sunshiny morning
this week when we strolled into the tent
village at Chelsea. Some curiosity as to
how the tented city had withstood the
recent storms led to some questions: "Oh,
storms, we just enjoyed them; we have
been coming down here for four years
and rent these comfortable tents," said
one old lady, who was standing in the
tent doorway. "I love the restfulness of
the life here; the very worst cases of In
somnia are sure to be cured here. There
is nothing more soothing than to go to
sleep with the sound of the tent curtains
gently flapping in the sea breese and the
long, soothing sweep of the breakers on
the beach. Even rain on the tent roof
sounds soothing and pleasant, for we are
dry inside.
"Yes, there must be several hundred
of us here. We return year after year
and are all very sociable."
One of the mysteries of human nature
is the great audiences that sit watching
the base ball played on the record board
at the Million Dollar Pier and Young's
Ocean Pier. These people have come
down from the city ostensibly to get away
from former interests and to luxuriate in
out-of?door sport and the sight of the
great ocean. Instead, they coop them
selves up in stuffy auction rooms and
haggle over dusty rugs, or sit inside the
pier watching the records of the national
game.
The great out-of-doors, with its many
offerings of surf bathing, sailing and fine
vistas of water to refresh city eyes, all
goes for naught. Being indoor people
nine-tenths of the year they cannot shake
off the habit.
Atlantic City being in the throes of a
Sunday-closing proposition it is hard to
predict what effect an edict of that sort,
really enforced, would have on the place.
Many outside papers predict dire things
if the Sunday blue laws are enforced. No
one can prophesy with certainty. It would
really seem as if there were enough out
door attractions to offset the saloon al
lurements, but the sight of the auction
fiends and indoor base ball cranks gives
us cause to doubt.

Toledo Herrate, minister of Gautemala,

A WEEK OF FESTIVITY
1,500 Decorated Boats in Water
Carnival.
500 BABIES IN THE PARADE
Moonlight, Weather, Crowds and
Everything Are Just
Bight.
Special Correspondence of The Stnr.
ASBURY PARK, N. J., August 28, 1909.
Fifty thousand people who are spend
ing the week In town have on two occa
sions had their proportions swelled to
twice this number in attendance upon
the baby parade festivities thus far run
off. These were the Deal lake carnival
of Thursday night, and the children's
festival, a new feature of the carnival,
run off this afternoon in Ocean avenue,
where, upon an open stage, 800 young
sters sang and appeared in tableau.
Again tonight there will be a great as
semblage, when the opera, "The Mocking
Bird," is given in the open air, and then
an interval until Tuesday night, when
Queen Tltanla will be crowned in the
amphitheater. The masque fete of the
following evening and the baby parade
next Thursday afternoon will mark the
close of the festival.
It got a splendid start this Thursday
with the Deal lake event. Rain, which
had been threatening in the afternoon,
went elsewhere, leaving a clear moonlight
evening, and tremendous crowds gath
ered around the Allenhurst and As bury
Park shores between the Park avenue
and Main street bridges. Great grand
stands, extending from the Park avenue
bridge nearly to Emory street on the
south side, were filled with thousands
that had come In large parties, repre
senting clubs and hotei delegations, and
bent upon having as lively a time as
possible. The carnival differed from
last year's lake fete in that the tableaux
on the stage, which, at best, can be ar
ranged so that a mere fraction of those
assembled could view it, were omitted.
Entertainment came chiefly from the
remarkable spectacle, that of 1,500 gayly
decorated boats, most of them lighted
with Japanese lanterns and some with
tiny electrical apparatus, as they plied
to and fro In serpentine figures. Maj.
Gen. P. Farmer Wanser ran off the event
with military precision, with the aid of
nearly a full regiment of National Guards
men and a battery that saluted her high
ness, Queen Tltania, with a volley of
twenty-one guns and from time to time
fired signal guns for direction of the pa
rade.
It was the young queen's first appear
ance as such. She was dressed in a God
dess of Liberty costume, made chiefly
from an American flag of silK. With the
queen, who appeared upon a barge, and
who is known otherwise as Miss Henri
etta Biker of South Orange, appeared the
members of her court, all In court cos
tume. Among them were Miss Marie
.Leonard Cassidy of New York, Miss Mil
dred Louise Burton of Asbury Park, Miss
Marian Adele Scuville of Brooklyn, Miss
Marjorle Antoinette Hatch of Rochester,
Miss May Elizabeth Crombie of New
York, Miss Edna Katherine Mincho of
Brooklyn and Miss Alice Strobridge of
Baltimore, who is known as the Princess
Cinderella of the carnival.
Of course, the greatest event of those
to come is the baby parade, which prom
ises this year to be participated in by
about 800 youngsters. At present the list
is close to the 500 mark, and experience
has shown that the large proportion of
entries come in in the last few days of
registration. The parade will be run, as
heretofore, upon Ocean jivenue, carpeted
wi.h canvas from the casino to the sta
dium, already erected at the foot of (1th
avenue. The distance is two-thirds of a
mile, and gives an opportunity for 00,000
or 70,000 people other than those who may
have grandstand seats to witness the
babies as they are marched up and down
