Items From the Rock.
 It was a day of consternation at Sav- in Rock yesterday, and the fact that Deputy Sheriff Wheeler was incapaeit- ated by reason of illness from serving the little bunch of warrants in his pock- cts alone served to ease the minds of the dozen saloon keepers there. It is remarkable how reliable the memory of each and every one was upon the date canvass of the saloon keepers on the shore shows that upon that particular Sunday each and every one was suffer- ing from some peculiar yet distressing malady, consequently their place was closed to all business.
 The most popular sickness upon that date seemed to have been cholera, hay ing rheumatism as a close second, and headache and malaria in the field.
 Said an officer of the police last night to our reporter: We are willing to make all allowance for a person who has a hotel lincense and thinks he should be allowed reasonable latitude, but when you see three or four busloads of people drive up to place on Sunday, all with a thirsty look on their faces, you can bet they don't fool the police, even If they do make hay early in the summer.''
 The most thoroughly satisfied boni- face upon the shore seemed to be John Cox, proprietor of the Surf house, just below the Rock. He had just finished examining plans for his new hotel to be erected this fall, and to the reporter stated his plans for improving his pop ular resort.
 In the first place, the present hotel will be moved back upon the lot he owns and a handsome four-story struc- ture will be erected, containing all the modern conveniences of a shore hotel. There will be a reading room, billiard room, ladies drawing room and offices on the first floor and single rooms and rooms en suite on the remaining floors for those who desire to make a pro- tracted stay.
 To enhance the charms of the excel lent sea bathing at this point electric lights will be strung over the water and a full brass band from stand in serted in the facade of the hotel will discourse appropriate music, and linked with the sweet melody of the surf the soft strains of the music will furnish a fitting accompaniment for the acquat- ic pleasurers of the many devotees of ole oceans waves.
 Plans for the new hotel have beer submitted, but the details have not as yet been perfected; but one thing is as sured--that only the best will be select ed and the edifice as decided upon will be credit to the beach, making new enterprise in-this popular resort.
 ''There are lots of things at the shore you haven't noticed yet" said an ole fakir to the reporter as they sat 1T Malinger's cafe and chewed away a' an alleged steak Did you know there was faro game in full blast not s stones throw from where you are sit ting?"
 This was somewhat of a surprise bu under the pilotage of the fakir the two wended their way through back street and up flight of stairs
 A door was opened few inches in g cautious manner, but word from the guide gained ready admission, anc the two were soon inside. There was a ful fledged faro game, with box, dealer ane half dozen interested players
 Not a word was spoken, and no sound broke the silence but the click of the chips. Among the players was wei known clothing merchant of this city and another was hotel keeper at the shore. After a short stay the reporter and his friend withdrew with heighten ed appreciation of the varied attrac tions of the Rock.
 This afternoon the Elm City ball nint will play the Sacred Heart T. A. B club. The Elm Citys are putting up 2 pretty good game and are confident O victory.
