Review.

ened the noise at the depOts caused by

a standing nuisance to all incoming pas

'The excursion to this city in June of
the delegates to the convention of the
International League of Press Clubs, to
be held in Philadelphia during that
month, will bring here fully 500 jour
nalists, representing press clubs with a
membership of u, 800 newspaper men,
and all OF the leading journals of the
country.
The convention was held in Atlanta,
Georgia, last year, and as result of
the handsome manner in which the
scribcs were entertained the city secured
much valuable advertising. This year
the Pen and Pencil Club Of the Quaker
City will make it interesting for the jour
nalists. The business of the ten days
convention will not consume over three
days and the remainder of the time will
be spent in seeing Philadelphia and
vicinity, Atlantic City coming under this
head.
Arrangements will be made to spend
day and a night here, and it is very
much to be desired that all citizens, the
hotel men especially, cooperate with
Mayor Stoy and the committee of the
Pen aud Pencil Club in rendering the
visitors q warm reception and in making
their sojourn just as pleasant as possible.
Among the delegates there viii be
some from inland cities, who perhaps,
have never seen the ocean. They will
fully describe their trip in their papers,
upon their return, and ii their visit here
is pleasant one, as it cannot fail to be,
Atlantic City will get free advertising
for which $4,000 would not pay"
pIucky dog belonging to Captain
Elmer Strickland, Of this city, killed a
porpOise after a fierce battle on Wednes-
day afternoon.
Captain Strickland was out sailing in
his staunch yacht, accompanied by his
fayorlte dog, and when about half mile
OF the city saw pOrpoise cavOrting in
the waves. Captain Stricklauds canine
friend has a reputation as a fighter, but
the Captain never before had the oppor-
tunity OF placing him against porpoise.
at a word of command the dog leaped
from the yacht and fiercely attacked the
pOrpOise. The denizen of the sea was no
match fer him and the dog won an easy
battle, escaping with slight injuries.
