Pittsburgers take the same trip, but 1t Is
from the Quaker City that the great swarm
Of seashore pleasure seekers on the national
holiday comes. In that city the custom Is
rs ancient and as traditional as the equally
generally observed habiS OF ~asmng tne
front door-steps every morning.
In some years nearly 100000 visitors have
incurred into this tight little island on the 30
and 4th of July, and when the innux OF guests
has fallen far short OF this figure 1t has peen
on account of unfavoTable weather. Anu
what makes the enormous patti onage tne
more wonderful is that no attempt is maue
by the local authorities to increase the at
tfactiveness of the place by making any spe-
cisl rroCramme of ceremonies for the cele-
bration of the day, nothing being offered the;
visitors but that which they can enjoy on
almost any other day during the season. rms
year for instance, the day was marked by
mt one distinguishing feature, superb
exhibition OF fireworks at the Base
hall park. Apart from tnlsl the

I1repsrations for their entertainment, but
as the ordinary amusement field OF Atlantlc

Something New In Amusements.
There is one new amusement which bids
fair to become immensely popular, and
which has been besieged by thousands since
it was put in operation the other day. 1t Is
called the Observation Roundabout, ana Is
novel and unique contriNance, invented
ny the creator of the clothesline stretcher.
II consists of two immense wheels, each
about ~ feet in diameter, securely fastened

scheme that catches the fancy of the crowd
the inventor of the Roundabout seems TO be
in for q good thing.

Recklessness of the Bathers.
Bathing continues to grow popular as the
fiogdsvs approach, and almost daily is some
.ncautious swimmer ,pulle1 out by the
watchful lifeguards. There were several ex-
citing rescues this week, but fortunately
there have been no drowning accidents SO
lar. Ii is not To be expected, however, that
the season will slip by without several
.ltalities as the bathers of Atlantic City are
notorious for foolhardy reckiessness. If the
:ocal authorities were to establish an Ordi-
;.fnce making it an offense for people to
lives would he saved in the end, and at the
same time an indignant protest would be
directed against this Infringement on per-
soma! rights But if the law obviated the
,iaayer OF drowning accidents, the authori-
ties could well afford to put up with the pro-
test.
Fishing grows better every day. Very good
catches of blue fish are being made by
those who are hardy enough to venture out
side, while those of less daring spirit find
good sport in Grabbing in the thoroughfare.
