deed, it is not out of the city instead of in;
therefore the hotel men were totally I'M
prepared for the 32.oco visitors who came
pouring in last Saturday and Sunday The
embarrassment, however. WIS only mo-
nentary, and in little while all were pro-
vlded for. although several of the beach,
front houses were crowded that they
could not accommodate all who applied, a
condition of affairs unheard of in Septem-
Der.
A large proportion of these unexpected
visitors were from Washington and Balti-
more, having been patrons of the special
excursions conducted by both the Penn
sylvania and Baltimore and Ohio railroad
systems. Although the tickets sold were
good only for two days, yet many of the
eNcursionlsts were SD fascinated with the
resort that they have remained here

neen SO prosperous that even some of the
largest hotels are planning additions
from among these is the Garden.
