The Edge Of a cyclone.

night that beggars description. And one
that will live In the memories OF those
wto witnessed IL for years to come.
The thronRs OF spectators who crowded
tha poreles avd windews Of The preap
iront hotels and cottages, and the others
who ventured on the flooded avenues and
lots adjacent to the boardwalk, saw
enough tonight TO verify the worst i'm
port OF the above predictions, and are
still gazing in awe and wonder at the
terrible onslaught of wind and waves,
and cogitating as to whether, when the
irall beach structures have succumbed to
the inevitable, 1t will become necessary
Tor them to remove to higher ground.
| One monster breaker carried away
iully two squares OF the stout boardwalk
from In front OF the Chalionte. below
rennsylvania avenue, up to within few
feet OF Maryland avenue. The planks
and pilng were thrown into the air like
80 many match sticks, causing a wild
rush among the spectators. Then the
water dashed in around the hundreds of
bath houses in that exposed vicinity,
and the work of undermining began, the
fronts tottering and twisting as the sup
porting posts weakened and finally gave
way.
The hotels all around are surrounded
by water, aud on many Of the avenues It
has been forced as far up as Pacific ave-
nue., while at Rhode Island and Massa-
| chusetts avenues, where tho distance to
the beach is not 90 great, the water has
pounded lite way up to Atlantic avenue.
While the effects of the waves arc
worst in the vicinity Of Jackson's estsb.
lishment,- there are other points along
Inc strand where the sea has made dam
aging encroachments. This 10 particri-
larly the case from Illinois avenue down
70 Michigan avenue, which embraces the
Iraymore, the Brighton aud the Chill
dren's Seashore House, the latter being
the place which was 60 badly wrecked
during the destructive storm OF Noyem-
ber 25th. On all these avenues the water
is up as far as Pacific avenue, and fully
a loot of water surrounds the Windsor,
Brighton. Traymore, and other houses
10 that section, and Easements and yards
generally are inundated. The guests of
these houses were Obliged to use horses
and carriages to get TO aud from Atlantic
avenue.
The outer end of the Fortescue flying
horses pavilion was torn out, as was the
greater Fart Of the bulkhead in front Of
the Disston Villa. Al Lees Ocean Ter
race the cuts made by the waves are so
wide and deep that several houses on
that elevated plane cannot possibly stand
over night
Owing to the inundation of the car
tracks at the inlet, the electric cars were
unable TO reach their terminal point, and
simply made trips up and down the CEN
tral part of the avenue.

wind storm that has wrought such havoc
along this coast during the past AZ hours.
People unaccustomed to such sights who
are now visitors at this place seem ap-
palled at the magniAcence Of the spec

Deal lake to Iillagore's pavilion, great
drifts OF sand are heaped up under and
over everything that is built of timber.
Inc strain has been enormous, and the
timbers have yielded, so that at o'clock
tonight the entire stretch of promenade
between life-sayinR station No. and the
extreme eolth end of Ocean Grove ia
strewn with drlftwood and three-Inch
p'aDks that formerly constituted the
great boardwalk.
