ATLANTIC CITY, April 24.-The season, 1t
may be said, has now been formally opened
kt this popular seaside resort All the lead |
ing hotels have swung open their doors, re-
fitting their interiors and in most cases |
treated the exteriors to well-needed coats OF |
paint The influx OF summer visitors VIII |
soon begin. In the meantime the permanent
guests are enjoying the beneficial and exhil-
Grating effects of the seashore in April. The
majority Of these are from Philadelphia, al
though there are representatives from New
York, Baltimore, Pittsburg and Lancaster.
Every year the reputation Of Atlantic City as
health resort increases, and each year the
number of winter boarders TO this Florida Of
the North increases. Since last season over
one hundred new houses and cottages of all
descriptions have been erected here. Every
thing at present points TO the coming season
as brilliant and successful one, financially
and otherwise. 1t has been settled now that
the Fifth Maryland regiment will hold their
annual encampment here. With this and
hundreds of other attractions the coming sea
son must surely excel all former ones
THE TAMMANY cHIEFTAIN.
Among the more notable people who have
| been here recently il the Hon. John Kelly,
| of New York. Mr.. Kelly come here for the
benefit Of his health, but to all appearances
without success. The old Tammany chief
tain is certainly very sick man. He is not
the same person physically that was so promi-
| nent during the first stages of the last presi-
| dental campaign, and who held for so many
years such a powerful grip on New York city
politics The man whose command meant
immediate performance, and who swayed
the city-aye the state--at his will is here,
broken down in health and spirits. To him

ance wonderfully. The once full, ruddy fact
is now pale and pinched, and suffering ha'

Every day when the weather permitted, h'
took long walks along the shore, wrapped al
in heavy blankets and accompanied by hi
personal friend, j. J. Mooney. Nervou
prostraton, from which he is suffering, seem
J to have taken firm hold on him. The fami

ments had been made by the family, tina

wife, who by the way is niece of Cardini
McCioskey, of New York, Is his constai

health resort shortly.
