place of amusement on the board walk was
kept tightly closed last Sunday, the author
tiles having threatened to raid every place
found open on that day and to take into
custody not only the proprietors and en-
ployes, but also every patron found on the
premises. The amusement men now
threaten to retaliate by bringing action
against every saloon keeper who transacts
business on Sunday, but they have not
made any public move in the matter as
yet, although 1t is said that some of them
visited number of saloons last Sunday
and bought drinks for the purpose of Sc
curing evidence.
Every year the cry of hard times and bad
season is heard, and this year is no oxcep-
ton to the rule. Several papers in different
parts of the country have published heart
rending accounts Of the lack of visitors to
this resort and the consequent distress of
the hotel men; but as a matter of fact,
these stories have absolutely no founda-
ton. The hotels are all crowded with
guests. and many applications for accom-
modations are refused because there is no
room for the applicants. The Union Trans
fer Company during the month Of July
handled 5000 pieces of baggage more than
1t did during the same month last year.
Last Saturday and Sunday the Pennsyl-
vania railroad carried 5000 passengers to
this city, and the Reading railroad brought
$1,000. making a total of 5000 visitors
brought into the resort in two days. one of
the best records ever made. This certainly
does not indicate a dull season.
Life Guards Peter Parker and James
Neill and Special Officer Farmer report
having seen the sea serpent Tuesday mora
ing. The monster is described being
shaped like an immense cutie fish, with
tremendous green tentacles and large eyes
that CLEAN with phosphorescent fire in
manner to frighten the boldest. The WIS.,

but have not yet caught sight of him.
The little folks are delighted with the tri-
weekly children's carnfvals that are given
on the ocean pier. The youngsters are
given place in the grand march and each
one is presented with pretty souvenir. 1t
is hard to tell which pleases them the most.
Another place that is quite attractive to
the children Is dog and pony show that
has located on the beach. The little ami
mails display an intelligence that seems al
most human.
