LIKE SUMNER BY THE SEA.
EVERYTHING BUT CROWDS OF FATHERS
AT ATLANTIC CITY-PEOPLE
AT THE HOTELS

Atlantic City n. J.. May 10 Especially. -According
to the almanac the beginning of actual summer
is still month distant. but look at the Atlantic
City Boardwalk to-day gives the impression tnat
the solstice has already arrived The
promenadng throng, the rolling chair brigade the
readers and dozers In the Boardwalk pavilions, the
happy couples and groups on the strand an ihu-
the beginning OF the summer season. Ihe oniy
real feature that is missing is the vast
throng of surf bathers: but this can easily
be supplied by the Imagination. there have been
a number of adventurous spirits to brave the chill
of the water this week.
The two or three hot days early this week caused
people in the large cities think of their summer
vacations and the number of applications for
commodations at the various hotels has increased
accordingly. The influx of visitors was not quite
so heavy as It would have been if the warm wave
had continued throughout the entire week. but. at
the time the floating population of the resort
has been materially Increased during the last seven
days.
Everybody nowadays spends every available hour
outdoors and the parlors and exchanges Of
the hotels. which have been popular during the long
winter months, are now comparatively deserted IN
the daytime. Even the evening hours. which for
merly found the vast majority of people indoors,
spent on the Boardwalk or the piers, eX-
cept when progressive euchre party or some other
special entertainment has been arranged the
Country Club is popular rendezvous these pleas
ant days. and many are the Journeys that are MADE
TO Northield for game of golf or a few hours
among the trees and green fields. For, II tnere is
one single thing lacking make the attractions
Atlantic City perfect, it is plentiful sup
ply of trees and other vegetation.
The country road between Nentnor and Long
port which has been in course of construction over
a year. has been finally accepted and was thrown
open to the public a couple of weeks ago The new
highway is a fine one. It connects with excellent
roads already in existence, forming a continuous
drive from the Inlet Longport, nearly nine miles
the being IN sight the greater portion OF the
way.
The rolling chair was not ended with the increase
of the license fee for the chairs. A committee or
the City Council is now engaged in drafting an
ordinance regulating the of the vehicles on the
Boardwalk, and 1t is pretty safe to say that the
professional "pushers' who have made themselves
obnoxious by their carelessness, will have to be
q little more mindful of the rights of pedestrians
this summer.
