commodations that offered, and were soon housed
somewhere and somehow, but almost invariably in
a comfortable manner.
This oVercrowded condition Of the hotels during
the Easter holidays has been foreseen for some
time, but not until this week did any realize
that the crowding would be great as 1t really
was. Early in the week, however, II was seen that
the popular hotels would be by means
able to accommodate Gn who were sending In ap-
plications for rooms, and arrangements were made
with smaller but, in many cases. equally de-
sirable houses TO take care of the overflow. This
has been done most satisfactorily. so that although
Atlantic City is crowded neither nor any other
resort was ever before crowded at Eastertide all
of the thousands of visitors are being taken care
Of in a manner that will make each and every one
of them forever friend of the place.
EASTER EXPECTATIONS.
If the splendid weather which has been the rule
during the last couple OF weeks continues to-mor-
row there will be immense throng of prom
enaders on the boardwalk. The Easter Sunday
parade of fashion has become one of the features
of the spring season, and its importance this year
will be commensurate with the size Of the visiting
crowd If present indications any criterion, the
boardwalk will be scarcely large enough to hold
ali who will wish take part in this great annual
function either participants or spectators 1t Is
safe to say that there is not single person here
who will not make his or her appearance on the
boardwalk tomorrow, if that person is able to
walk ride or be carried out of doors, for visit
to Atlantic City at Eastertide would be incomplete
with hour two of mingling with the brilliant
assemblage that Will make the beach front proto-
type of the most fashionable promenaders of the
large cities.
The annual rumor that President Mckinley is con-
templating a visit to this place has made its ap-
pearance, but just how much foundation 1t has
must be decided by the future alone. Captain
James s. Edwards and Louis D. Wine, of Wash
tngton, the latter of whom is said to be close
friend of the President, were guests at the Sea
side House early in the week and 1t is reported
that they intend try to induce Mr.. Mckinley
to run down for at least few days next month

Mabel Mckinley, who has also passed many happy
days at the shore. President Mckinley made par
tial arrangements to here couple of years
ago his plans were put all awry by the break
ing out of the Spanish-American War, and he was
unable leave Washington for any extended vaca-
ton. But it is hoped that nothing will interfere
this spring If the President does decide to pay
visit TO Brighton of America this year he will
be assured of hearty welcome
THE GOLF CHAMPIONSHIP GAMES WANTED.
The Atlantic City Country Club will doubtless
make strenuous efforts TO have years Ma
tionaI championship golf games played on their
links at Mortified. This has practically been de-
cided and IL may be depended upon that the mem
bers of the club will make vigorous campaign
when the proper time arrives The project has been
quietly discussed for time. but 1t received
an added impetus last week, when the golfers who
took part the spring tournament of the club be-
came quite enthusiastic in their praise of the
Northaeld links and number of the promi-
nent players promised TO their influence toward
having the 1901 championship games take place
here.
The growth of the Country Club has been phe-
nomenal Originally organized mainly addi-
tional source Of amusement for the guests of the
leading hotels il has become the pet and pride
of it's organizers who have all been infected with
the golfing fever and among the most
enthusiastic frequenters of the links. The club is
now one Of the largest in this section of the

Changes among the beach front hotels not
frequent, except when a new house is erected but
an important change has just taken place at one
of the old Established hostleries. The familiar
name OF Bew's Hotel has disappeared but the hotel
itself is still there, being conducted under the
name OF the Hotel Tarton. The hotel has long
enjoyed the reputation of being Of the best

tained by the new proprietors. The Tarlton which
is located directly the boardwalk, Illinois
