ATLANTIC CITY.

| Don't miss seeing "Wonderland' on
| the Boardwalk opposite Iron Pier, At
lantic City-Only 10 cents.
The Atlantics defeated the Cape May
nine at base ball on Friday by score OF
II to 3 and again ON Saturday by IL
| to 4.
Richard L. DAILY, discharged porter
at the Algonquin Hotel was arrested on
Sunday charged with setting fire to the
hotel.
Timothy Kelley, of Philadelphia, was
drowned while bathing in the surf at
| the foot of Missouri avenue Sunday
afternoon.
The "crooks" are quite numerous this
season, but the most of them are spotted
by our detectives and invited to leave
before they have q chance to play their
nefarious vOcations.
The everlasting fight between the city
and Richard H. Lee and between Lee,
Riddle and Cathcart concerning the re-
spective right and alleged invasion of
rights on the lower boardwalk, still con-
tinues to rage and has long since become
public nuisance.
Samuel Musselman and Mrs. Edith
Willets, the couple arrested upon the
charge of adultery, have been taken to
Mays Landing, to remain until the Sep
tember term of court. They could not
get anyone to go their bail. The man is
reported as being considerably worried
and haggad, while the woman is as
happy and clipper as ever. Prison life
does not seem to worry her in the least.
In fact she is gaining in weight.
The Press says there is a pneumatic
boat up at the Inlet that resembles a
horse yoke, is made of rubber, inflated
with air, and is propelled by the webbed
boot of the navigator who lOuDger as
easily upon his water cushion as if upon
a Tongue. The pneumatic boat has
been known to gunners in Southern
waters for some time and, decked With
reeds, passes for floating bush in the
eyes of the wary duck
The Saturday and Sunday arrivals
broke the seasons record. The two
railway systems brought down alto
gether in the two days nearly 10000
thousand passengers-the Royal Read
ing line bringing 21.120 and the West
Jersey and seashore lines 1890. Such
number constitutes a veritable army,
but they are scattered over a wide
territory, from the Inlet to the EXcur-
sion House, and there seemed to be
room for as many more. If the weather
proves favorable some Sunday in August
will probably break all previous records
of travel.
Atlantic City had as distinguished
visitors Sunday, Seven State Sena-
TORS who sailed down from Beach
Haven, where they have been the guests
of Senator Engle, proprietor of the
Engleside Hotel, at that resort. In the
Senatorial party, which made it's head
quarters at Haddon Hall, were Senator's
Stokes, Thompson, Rogers, DAILY, Kuhl,
Williams and Gould. Senators Stokes
and Thompson remained at HaddOn
Hall over night, and the other members
of the party sailed back to Beach Haven.
They had a splendid sail and greatly
enjoyed their visit to the Gty-by-the-Sea.
Mrs. Emeline Girard Taylor, for the
past twenty years resident OF this city,
died at her home, 143 south Illinois ave,
yesterday morning, aged 81 years. The
deceased during her residence here de-
voted much of her time and wealth to
deserving institutions. She built the
first edifice of the Ascension Protestant
Episcopal Church when it was located
on Pacific ave below Michigan, and
supported it literally until it became
self-supporting. She also gave several
thousand dollars to assist other churches
and to send the gospel to unfortunate
ones in hospitals and prisons.
That Atlantic City yachts are equal to
any in the State was again proven at
Riyerton on Saturday, when three local
craft of the halfrater model captured the
three prizes offered by the Riverton
Yacht Club, despite the fact that a
number of other very speedy boats were
entered in the contest. The local yachts
in the races were the halfraters owned
by Law Judge Thompson, School Direc-
tor Warren Somers and Prof. VIM. B.
Loudenslager, and they finished in the
order named, defeating every thing in
sight. Quite number of city officials
and other prominent citizens went to
Riverton. A surprising fact in connec-
ton with the Atlantic City yachtmen's
victory is that Mr.. Platman, the orgina-
tor of the halfrater model, sailed a
yacht built by himself in the contest,
and only got fourth place, Judge ThOmp-
sons speedy racer, the first to finish,
beating him by fully twelve minutes.
The prizes were handsome and costly,
the first being a silver tea service OF
sixty pieces; the second copper urn,
and the third, beautiful water color.
Atlantic City leads all other resorts in
the State in number of particulars.
