ATLANTIC CITY. NJ, August "a 1894.
This week there has been a slight de-
crease in the number Of people here. and
although the larger hotels are still full and
have many engagements ahead lasting
through September. yet among the smaller
houses. those who quarter the business
people during their two or three weeks
vacations. many leave this week. their
time of pleasure having expired. The
weather this week has continued beautiful,
In fact. has been preferable to that expe-
rienced in the early part Of August. not 50
warm. and just right for solid outdoor en-
joyment. and there is no doubt that those
here who can stay through September will
undoubtedly do so.
This Sunday will be the final one Of the
immense crowds that have characterized
this August. OF course. many one-day tour
lists will be down next week and the next
and so on, but as far an unQuarterable
arrival is concerned we will have 10 more
of that this year. and every one who HES
himself to Atlantic City from now out will
find ample and satisfactory accommoda-
tons for comfort and pleasure.
The regular variety of entertainments
have come of this week, and those here
that they. did the week before-dances here.
euchre parties there, tally-ho parties. crab
bling, fishing. sailing, side trips to Brigan-
tine and Longport, through the country,
sc. Fishing especially has been very good
and the catches reported this week surpass
those of any time during the summer.
Weak fish and sea bass are always In the
majority, and both make very fine sport.
The cunning season Is now coming In, and
a great many gunners will come down next
week ready to battle with the snipe. cur
LEWIS. gray duck. teal, &C. Later, about
the LIST Of October, the wild geese and brant
know that they make excellent sport.
! have been treated to some very good
exhibitions of base ball at the Inlet Park.
the Pittsburg league team being here on
Wednesday, and our local boys gave them
a very strong game. the score being to
Z in the leaguers favor and at that they
had to put in two pitchers before the game
was won.
, A very interesting exhibit is now being
made by the Association of American Flor
lists, who are holding their annual conven-
tien In this city. The floral exhibit is very
complete and beautiful. and thousands Of
the visitors here have visited it, note
worthy exhibit are the water lilies. which
were sent by Mrs Cleveland from the Ex-
ecutive Mansion, and of course, are at
tracing a great deal Of attention.
The city council is arranging to have all
legislation passed so that at the close of
the season the contemplating of the paving
II
fore the visitors reach Atlantic City again
they will see this work under way. Another
improvement, which there is little doubt but
what will be a reality before the waning OF
the season Of "a, is the boulevard drive
down the beach from Atlantic City to Long
port. which, when completed, will undoubt-
eddy prove one of the most attractive fea-
lures with the fashionable life at the shore,
and private equipages next year will be
numbered by the score.
