Atlantic City. n. J., Dec (SpeciaD.-This has
been week of changeable weather In Atlantic
City. The storm of Tuesday and Wednesday did
considerable to keep visitors away, but this had
been more than made up by the crowds drawn
here Sunday and Monday by the beautiful
weather Of those days Finer weather than that
Of Sunday could not well be imagined. The air
was warm that overcoats generally dis
carded. and all through the sunny hours Of the
day the Esplanade crowded. The trains which
came in the morning of that day in
two sections TO accommodate those who wished to
enjoy the day by the sea. The railroad officials
say that the number OF people carried beyond
| that of any off day in the history of the
resort Many of those who here spend
Thanksgiving holidays extended their visit until
the first of this week, and this also helped to
swell the crowd.
Mayor Stoy has named the men who to
compose the committee to arrange for bringing the
Grand Army Of the Republic National Encamp
ment to Atlantic City. The members OF the COM
mittee held meeting this week and appointed a.
subcommittee, which will go to Chicago to lay
before the executive committee Of the Grand Army
of the Republic Atlantic City's claim for the en-
campment.
Harry KuemmerIe the builder will within
short time break ground for a hundred
room hotel in South Carolina-ave. The owner of
the house is Anna E. Mcfarland According
to the plans the hotel is TO be fine one. and mod
ern in every respect. The front will be of stone
and the building will be five stories high.
Several owners of fast horses have been having
brushes the strand this week. South At
lantic has been the scene of most of the racing
and large crowds have gone down there on every
occasion when they thought there was a chance to
see of the fast ones go for records James
Evans Aileyboy has so far had the best of the
sand horses as they are called but he has had TO
do good trotting TO save his laurels
In their annual report the New-Jersey Riparian
Commissioners state that they have doubts as to
of unoy being A
lantio City TO acquire the beach front for city
park. It is to be hoped that some way may be
found in which the city legally get possession
of this ground the beach front park idea Is con-
ceded be good one. At present Atlantic CltS
beach front stands risk of being spoiled by some
owner who may build outside the walk. Many OF
the landowners who gave their iands TO the CIT!
on condition that the board walk should be moved
further toward the thus giving them aouitoei
land, are now insisting that the walk snail De
moved. Some Of them offer TO hear the expense OF
the moving themselves in exchange for the land
which they will acquire.
