on Now at Atlantic City.
ESPECIAL TELEeRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.l
ATLANTIC CITY, June 27.-The chief charm
about this place to the metropolitan visitor
is the fact that everything goes, and just
now everything is engaged in going with a
rapidity that proclaims that the season al
the Queen resort of the Atlantic coast is al
ready in full blast. 1t has been predicted
that the present season will be the most
prosperous one in the history of this most
prosperous watering place, and it is not toe
early to assert that the chances are all in
favor of the prophecy. At any rate the sea-
son is far in advance of that of previous
years; there are more guests on the island
than is usual at this time of year and the
number of daily arrivals is proportionately
larger.
The adjournment of the international
Homeopathic Convention last Monday made
quite large gap in the colony of sojourners,
but the deficit was more than remedied by
the later arrivals, which included the Penn
sylvania State Editorial Association, nearly
800 strong. The visiting newspaper
men me arrived arrived Tuesday afteTnoon' headed i,d
New Bloomfield Times, newspaper man OF
25 years experience and the President OF
the association. The scribes remained until
yesterday afternoon, and during their stay
enjoyed varied programme of entertain,
ment, which included such delectable details
as a visit to the elephant at South Atlantic
City, and discourse on on"CountryJournali
by Colonel A. K. Mcclure, the white haired
nestor of the Philadelphia craft.
Fish Are Beginning to Bite.
Fishing, which, until the current week,
had not been first class, is beginning 10 i'm.
prove as the weather grows warmer. and it
will not be long before stories OF
big hauls are heard on the hotel
go ~
the backwardness of the fishing season,
the spring months, is disappearing, and the
fish are forsaking the Southern waters for
the North. There is q little sport to be had
in outside angling just now, but in the Inlet
the game is not worth the candle, or rather,
the bait. In the Thoroughfare however,
there is moro inducement to the patient
angler to acquire coat of sunburn, for
fairly good catches of weakish, by far the
most toothsome of the denizens of these
waters are being made at the proper. tide.
One day this week, a guest who had the
courage to get up at the unholy hour of 3 A.
NJ, to catch the early tide, was rewarded by
reeling in % large weakfish within an hour.
The fishing from Young and McShea's
ocean pier, which since its extension has
become great rendezvous for anglers,
is also improving, kinghsh being the pre-
vailing species of victim. The other day five
drumfsh, weighing on an average 20 pounds
each, were hooked from the end of the pier,
but the distance from the deck to the water

the presence of obstructing sandbars. Last
season the favorite locality seemed to be in
the vicinity of the foot of Pennsylvania and
Virginia avenues, and there were bathers to
be found in the greater number, but the
crowd will now be compelled to seek other
localities, for during the winter an immense
sandDar mas been formed, which, at ordinary
tide, establishes an immense lake of still
water, where once the rolling billows broke.
The owner OF the large bathhouSe at this
spot has endeavored to remedy the situation
by building long pier, extending from the
boardwalk out over the lake beyond the bar,
