Atlantic City. May % (SpecaD.-The vanguard OF
the rapidly approaching summer hotel guests and
cottaEes already here is almost sufficient to satisfy
the desires Cor IL big season of the average Ameri-
can watering place. and yet this throng continues
to be augmented day after day by stream Of ar
rivals. The rainy weather of this week had no di-
mnishng effect upon this influx.

rate luncheon given Wednesday evening by the At
lantic City Pen and Pencil Club. This organization

The work of landing the lumber for the new walk
from two vessels that have transported it here and
now anchored about half a mile from the Deach
is going on. The tackle employed is rgged after
the fashion OF an endless chain, which works
through one pulley made fast to the schooner and
another under the pier The rope is kept in motion
through the pulleys by four horses. The lumber by
a staple in one end is attached TO the endless ape
at intervals of about thirty feet, and in this manner
drawn ashore. where 1t is received and piled \
small donkey engine will be substituted for the
horses.
The immense dragnet, which is hauled twice
daily from the ocean end of the big pier has again
been placed in operation. This week immense
catches Of drumfsh have been made in this manner.
