PLANS FOR COACHING PARADE
A NEW YACHT CLUB HOUSE.

among the necessities for evening strolling the
boardwalk early in the week. The promise of
warm weather given last week was not fulfilled
until Thursday. when the thermometer again be-
gan to mount upward. Cool days and cooler even
ings were for time the rule, and anxious glances
were cast at the daily weather predictions by some
Of the hotel and others who thought il nearly
tine for hot wave TO send people hocking to the
shore. But the weather has been fairly pleasant
and the fact that the thermometer ranged little
below the normal cid not greatly trouble those
who here for pleasure and recreation alone.
The charity bail given at the Hotel Rudolf last
evening for the benefit Of the Jacksonville sufferers
was the leading topic OF conversation and the sub
ject OF much pleasant anticipation society
throughout the week Great preparations were
made for the event, and its success fully warranted
The elaborate arrangements. The attendance
large and comfortable sum was realized for the
unfortunates who lost their all in the flames
Proprietor Charles R. Myers. who gave the use of
the hotel and all its facilities together with the
services Of the Imperial Hungarian Orchestra also
went TO deal of expense in having the ballroom
and hotel exchange magnifcently decorated. The
gowns worn by the women were splendid. and
bned with the brilliant lights and decorations to
make beautiful scene. The entire affair. in short.
may be considered the crownng event of the spring
social season here by the sea.
COACHING PARADE ENTRIES

classes are exhibition IN boardwalk store. and
are attracting much attention from promenaders-
The parade VIII be followed by an old fashioned
clambake and a series of horse races on the beach
al Tentnor
Promenaders on the boardwalk were treated to a
rare sight last Sunday evening when the tide rose
10 an unusual height The spray was dashed over
the walk in places, flying fifteen feet higher
than the deck OF the structure while the heavy
waves caused the soidly built promenade TO tremble
as they rolled in and broke against the bulkheads
in exposed places. 4 number Of the avenues were
inundated in the Inlet section, and the trolley
tracks were submerged place for an hour
or more. The tide Of the kind that would have
damaged the old boardwalk seriously, but the pres
ent structure is strong enough TO Withstand hun
dreds Of such assaults.
The new Atlantic City Yacht Club has awarded
the contract for the erection Of its clubhouse. The
building will stand on the side Of Gardners
Basin. facing the inlet. II Will be handsome
structure, 80 by GO feet in dimensions, and three
stories height, and Will be equipped with every
comfort known 10 modern clubdom a roonny slip
viii be built in the basin. with wharf accommoda-
tons for least half dozen large boats. Floats
and steps from them to the clubhouse VIII make
the yachts lying there easy OF access. The club is
in a hourishing condition and will assist material
" in maintaining the city's reputation for hospital

new clubhouse viii be ready for occupancy about
August /
NEW COTTAGES. LOWER RENTS.
There is some encouragement for cottagers in
the statement that houses rent for the summer
season are rather plentiful than usual at this
time This is not because the demand for such ac-
conTnodations is any smaller, but because the
ply is larger. Rents have gone 10 an almost
@ser-.-a sr rta last
years on account of a scarcity Of available houses
and il is believed that the effect Of the large
Der Of buildings recently erected is being felt
and that rentals viii az least stop soaring for a
time

mer assembly Of the Jewish Chautauqua has been
