OCEAN CITY. Md. July 1s. 1901.
This last week has been undoubtedly the
most successful Of CUR Ocean City season.
Not the most discontented could complain
of the heat, as the mercury has amused
itself by gravitauing between sixty-nine and
seyenty-two or three. A brisk ocean breeze
has invigorated us and the sun has often
graciously consented to retire from active
life. thus enabling us to dispense with
some of our sunburn and blisters. The
little town by the sea is constantly taking
more residents IN her embrace, and at
nights the boardwalk presents quite bril-
liant effect when the four hundred stroll
by on dress parade. Many excursfonists
this week have been vastly impressed and
are spreading our fame abroad. Two nun
dred of these arrived on the b., {. and A.
road Sunday, and some three hundred the
following Tuesday On the NJ. \. Z. \. The
greatest crowd Is expected today on a
general excursion train and one special
from Wilmington. Also quite an lnnnx OF
people has been caused by the nineteenth
annual meeting of the American Pharma-
ceutical Association. A swimming match
was billed for Wednesday noon. and
number of enthusiastic swimmers partici-
pated in the 1O0-yard dash, or rather
splash in which first prize was won by
Butts of Washington.
Surf or deep-sea fishing is more than
popular, while the golf enthusiasts are en-
loving the privileges OF course which Is
not only swept by ocean breezes, but which
is within twenty minutes OF the most DIS
tant hotels, and which promises fine sea
bath at the end of the eighteen holes. Ine
moonlight sailing parties are already be-
ing booked for the next full moon. and in
the interim a clam bake at the golf club
is we'll in order. The date Of the open golf
tournament has been set for August l and
9 and from the list of entries it looks as
though a qualifying round would have to
be played
