ATLANTIC Cry, N. j., Aug II.
The greatest elements of earth are water and
air-most universally dispensed, most indispen-
sible to life most powerful and most utilized.
Both are here in abundance. The air is remark
ably inyigorating, and IN three days you feel
like new being. 1t is 10 degrees cooler than
in Wilmington. Your Spring clothing is needed,
and sometimes your overcoat. The rarity and
purity OF the atmosphere render you more wake
full at first, but by the came qualities, it is 30
much more inyigorating and you are 30 delighted
in extraordinary exercise that you are firht
strengthened to endure, and secondly made
healthily weary, that you enjoy refreshing
rest and sound sleep. You eat two or three
times as much, wondering at snch inclination
to yoracty, and that you so easily digest such
quantity. You think the very caterers have
conspired with the elements to load your stomach
with the most digestbe food under the condi-
tions most favorable to digestion, and then de-
lightfnlly help you along with the burden. AS

prefer in bathing, as in eating, to be guided
somewhat by instinct. 1t is no use to talk
about the majesty, snblimity aud grandeur Of
the ocean-go and see it. II you don't get
enough of it in meditatiye seat upon the
beach, or in diving beneath the briny and
surging waves you can

As for
THE WOMEN
Such noble, healthy, intelligent and discreet
women Yon can but say the men who selected
| them had intelligence, means aud an open and
| large field for choice. They must have been
profound in the science of courtship. The ar

Young ladies', the of society, is an attrac-
| ton in which Atlantic City il in no measure be-
| hind hei sister resorts.
TWO CASES OF DROWNING.

4 north OF the island, who could not swim but per-
| sisted in going out where there WAS strong un-

An attractive girl OF II years had intrusted her

| had no greater discretion than to venture out
with her to too great depth when they hepafa-

corpse, soon after, drifting ashore. THIS is the
| purport of the most plausible story but the
| fact was the fellow was drunk and was most
| heartily condemned for trusting even himself LII
| the water, much less the young lady.
| THE BOARD WALK,
after supper, is crowded with IN array of beauty

miles, and sight it is to interest all students OF
human nature.
