OF the glorious summer OF 1895 here by

transported oceanward $4,000 people. which throng.
added TO those already here, made Atlantic City the
entertainer of over one hundred and seventy five
thousand visitors. host whose numbers broke all
previous records of past successful seasons. While
the highest point has thus been reached. the season
is by means terminated. and. from every indi
cation. the summer will gradually work into the
fall with perceptible lull in the characteristic
seashore life and activity. great majority of the
hotels will remain open for the reception OF guests
for a month to come and many Of the large hostel
ries hold bookings for quarters that will keep them
comfortably filled until late into October. Contrary
the usual rule of watering places. Atlantic Citys
cottage contingent remains until late in the fall.

all sides continues undated. The temperature OF
the ocean is al that II could be to make the sport
pleasant and exhilarating. Everybody battles al

alone over fifty thousand people were battling with
the breakers during bathing hours. new idea in
this line has sprung into existence since last
season, and that is the custom of bathing late In
the afternoon. between the hours OF and 6, and
for the further protection OF those who plunge
at this time. the public beach patrol now remains
on duty until shutdown
