ATLANTIC CITY, August 4.-YesterdAy
al Atlantic City was heavy day for the
hotel keepers at this famous seaside re-
sort and at every house ell the available
space was occupied with cots, and large
numbers were turned away. From 10
o'clock to dinner hour the beach was
crowded from one end to the other with
bathers aud hundreds were deprived OF
dip In old Neptune by reason Of the lack
of bathing houses.
Year by year the popularity Of this
resort increases and the railroads have
kept pace with the growth, by the eddi-
tion OF frequent and fast trains, until
to-day II is but step from business 10
this most cosmopolitan Of all American
seaside resorts Indeed the facilities
offered by the Pennsylvania and the
Philadelphia and Reading railroads have
been the means of opening up to Allan
tic City a vast territory and 1t now vies
with the Massachusetts, and Rhode

New Jersey watering places.
