ATLANTIC oITY.
The Pennsylvania Railroads Great

The Pennsylvania Railroads Great
Facilities for Reaching the Re-
nOwued Summer Resort.
The prospects for brilliant summer
season at Atlantic City were never so
bright as at the present time. The ex-
traordinsrily liberal patronage which it
has gained during the winter and spring
season, largely due to the magnificent
transportation facilities maintained by
the Pennsylvania railroad, is still mani
Testing itself in the well-hlled hotels,
which bid fair TO hold their visitors we'll
through the early summer season. The
city by the sea is In better condition to
entertain and amuse its friends than ever
before. New hotels have been built aud
older ones remodeled and enlarged. The
great ocean boulevard has been COM
pleted, 80 that Atlantic City now pos
sesses the abandonment and most attractive
ocean front of any seaside resort in
America. ALI indications point to the
largest surlmer season in the history OF
the place.
9he Pennsylvania Railroad Company
has kept well in line with the spirit OF
| improvement which has Peryaded the
sesshore. Its facilities for promptly and
comfortably handling large numbers of
people have been increased so ~ to sup
ply any possible 6omRnd; the road-bed of
its double line has boon improved greatly,
and the terminal facilities both at Phlla-
delpbia and Atlantic City have been
enlarged and improved. Tho betterment
of the tracks will enable the management
to materially reduce the time between the
Delaware river and the sea, and the oum
mer schedule will present the quickest
best equipped, safest, and most satisfao
tory service OF trsins for everybody evei
enjoyed by the hosts of Atlantic Oity'i
summer patrons. The comprehensive
system of excursion tickets leading from
oil pointa on the Pennsylvania system
will bs available, as in the past years, a
the exceptionally low rates that havt
heretofore prevailed. It would be wei
for our readers to remember that q sum
mer trip that does net include Atlantic
City lscka the spice that would make /
memorable.
