CITY'S SEASON.
ENORMOUS CROWDS ON THE BOARD
WALK AND THE HOTELS FILLING.

y
June the Queen City by the Sea is now in full
| summer bloom THE season is in earnest,
{ everything is moving along with the old famlilar
/ time rush and hustle, the Boardwalk
crowds enormous, the hotels are filling up rap
idly, and. in short all conditions point to the fact
that summer at last has actually begun.
And yet there is probably not single person In
! Atlantic City to-day who could say just evactly
when the change from spring TO summer took
| place. Slowly, the days have heightened and
the air become warmer the promenading throng
the Boardwalk-that great barometer which IS
! the surest indicator of the resorts conduon-nas
: undergone a change, until suddenly 1t Is reahzeu
that the crowd is no longer that Of the springtme
/ but that it is composed principally OF vacation
| seekers who come here for pleasure alone.
With the beginning of the actual summer season
! FATHERS have become much more numerous. ana
! with the coming of the bathers the thrilling
rescue stories have come. OF all the hundreds OF
! persons assisted by the nfeguards and others
/ during the bathing season, nearly every ono Is
caused by some foolhardy attempt at an exhibition
/ os skill; and the lifeguards will be kept busy Tor
! the rest Of the summer looking after the peo-
! pie whose lives only worth saving because
/ their drowning would alarm others not familiar
! with the circumstances There is no safer place
! for bathing in the world than on Atlantic Citys
beach and it is rare that bather with good COM
mon sense gets into trouble
