ATLANTIC CITY, n. j.. August IS, 1894.
Every day during the past week the visit
ors poured into the city. and every incom-
ing train has been run In sections. 1t is es-
timated that over 10000 visitors are In At
lantic City at the present time. and the no.
tel proprietors claim that their rooms are
all engaged for the month CT September by
people who were compelled to defer their
visit owing to the lack of accommoda TONS
This is naturally going to lengthen the sea-
son very materially, and from present ap-
pearances, the gayety. life and hustle which
are evident in all parts of the resort will
continue later this year than we have ever
experienced In previous ones.
Social life has been most active. There
has been no lack of dances. euchre parties,
whist parties, package parties, in fact. all
kinds of parties, but never have the social
leaders experienced repetition of the old
time saying that "Smarty had party and
nobody came" for, on the other hand there

the "Venitzia' and Ma scotte," two of the
visitors. The Ethel won in the schooner

and OF the most artistic workmanship.
Weak fish are being caught ct a lively
rate these days. and visitors are having
great sport with this popular pastime.
Bathing as Ii has been this year has
never been known in this vicinity before
1t Is estimated that an average of 10000
bathers a day have gone into the surf along
the four miles of beach ever since the 18th
day of July. Walking along the boardwalk,

stretched in every attitude, and. in fact,
the strand Is entirely ca-peted by the bath
ers between the hours of IL and /.
Washingtonians still continue arriving in
town by every incoming train, and some
one said the other day that two-thirds of
the pop llation of Washington had visited
Atlantic City this year.
Some of the leading hotel men are ar
ranging for grand tennis tournament to
take place here in early September and as
many VI TIE DcSt prayers often come to
Atlantic City. it will not be vepy difficult
to have representation of the leading ten
mis- experts in case the match comes off. in
fact, Malcolm Chase did his early spring
training entirely on the Haddon Hall court,
which, he claims, is one Of the finest he has
ever played on.
