ATLANTIC CITY, July l6.-Since last
wear there have been many changes ut
This place, and it seems TO be growing
more dignifed. Some years ago, and
not a great many either, many persons
who would scarcely take a drink at
home, would never visit the city by the
sea without getting drunk but now a
nerson in state of intoxicatl0n Is sell
dom seen. Even on the Fourth of July,
when 10000 excursiouists were here,
there was very little drunkenness and
mot IA single row of any account. The
city is filled with visitors, and more
seem to be comming by every train,
while scarcely day passes that there
lis not an excursion arrives from some
point.
These people enjoy themselves, and
furnish world of amusement for
others thew play like children on the
sand, or roll in the waves, and general
ly manage to bring up so tired at night
that they are glad when the time comes
for the train to start for home. People
come here to enjoy themselyes,a and they
seldom go away disappointed. The ho-
tells are still well filled, and those who,
6n former seasons, rushed ava as soon
,s the excursionis,s commenced to
rou., seemed to have changed their
minds, and a strong sprinkling of the
fashionable clement still remains.
Every effort is made by property owners
hnd hotel prorrietOrs to make the city
Is btautifui and attrac i've rs possible,
10 as to keep as many permanent resi-
leni, as can be retained for the season.
There is plenty OF room here for all
khat come, and the accommodations
cannot be surpassed by any watering
,lace in the country, while the health
Ewing climate is unrivaled. Ten years
hgo there was little to attract visitors,
Ind many were deferred from coming
by the miserable water and the detec-
i've drainage, but to-day there is no
6ity thai can boast of better sanitary
arrangements. A Board of Heal Ii has
been formed, and to their nntiring et.
forts, aided by liberal contributions
from the hotel keepers and wealthy
zeal estate owners, the change in the
Banitary condition is no doubt III
grea, measure due. An ordinance re-
Cently passed provides for the remova |
bf sewage and garbage. BY this meth
Dd every species of refuse will be re-
moved four miles out of the city, and
bitter undergoing fl liberation, thrown into
he thoroughfare as the tide is running
but.
The walks along the beach have been
greatly improved, and the ugly bath
ny sheds which have for years been an
eyesore are removed, and in their places
Al t.,l MT
II graceful culors. A bathing house that
has been erected since last season at
khe foot of South Carolina avenue is
,aid to have cost $1,000, and contains II
large number Of bathing rooms, forty
bf which will he used for hot sea water
baths. Some care has also been be-
btowed on the shanties with which the
beach is lined, where oysters, assorted
Shells and other things are sold or pie
lures taken. Many of the old eyesores
have been removed, and places erected
in their stead that, like the bathing
houses, are al adornment to the beach.
The pier is "A great object Of attrac.
fion. and since the orchestra plays there
fwice every day is crowded with people.
The conductor, SigDor Lanichelli, is IA
musician Of wonderful power, and was
Formerly leader Of the Naval Band at
Brooklyn. Every Sunday Levy, the
great cornetist, will have charge of the
hu,ic, and it /, safe 20 say that few who
Visit mere on that day will fail to hear
him.
The beach presents an animated scene
IN the morning, and it is IL beautiful
sight to witness The many groups of
happy children playing in the sand, or
bhying shells al the sea gnlls Many of
them, am informed, We're weak and
Bickly when they came here a few weeks
6Ago, hut now their little faces are bron-
Ged with the sun, land their cheeks wear
|the ruddy glow of health.
n While almost all the hotels have been
Enlarged, there is considerable talk
9bout- erecting al immense building
capable of accommodating an indefinite
humber of people, but thus far it has
not taken any definite shape.
There is excellent fishing within easy
feach and boats are always ready to
convey the disciples of Isaac Walton TO
he grounds. The boats are provided
with the necessary tackle, bait and
Everything else requisite, and all you
have to do is TO take your seat, pay
your money and he taken to the fishing
grounds where, if you don't catch any
ish, YOU can generally buy mess aud
bo one need hr any the wiser. There
IRE some remarkable fish stories told,
put the regular visitors take very little
)tork in them, as they know the univer-
BAL tendency OF fishermen.
