New-York tribune., 1901-07-07

fences provided for both spectators and exhibitors
and Atlantic Citys third annual horse show prom
ises to be of the most successful events or the
kind that has been held anywhere this year.
The GLORIOUS Fourth of the greatest
days in Atlantic City's history. The crowd was
enormous considering the fact that the real sum-
has only just opened in earnest, and
the entertainment provided for the visitors was
of nature that all could enjoy and appreciate
without the annoying restrictions and extra
charges which frequently a part OF patri-
otto celebrations.
There two reasons for the presence OF an
extra large crowd here Independence Day. One
was the notice given that big exhibition Of fire
works might be expected and the other was the
killing heat. which dealt death and misery In the
large cities and caused all who could get away TO
rush off to the seashore and other resorts for
breath of air. 1t was hot enough here, by the
way. but the heat nothing compared with
what New-York, Philadelphia and other large
cities suffered. Even when the thermometer was
at the highest there enough air stirring to
make life worth living. and the nights were cool
enough to make sleep possible. The boardwalk
filled every evening with people who were
amazed at the difference In temperature between
the inland towns and the city by -the-sea.
The fireworks exhibition without doubt the
finest ever seen here. The extreme end Of Young's
pier. a full haf-mile IN the ocean. was utilized.
and proved an excellent place for firing the bombs
and rockets A large portion of tho structure
roped off. that the general public could
get within hundreds of feet of tho men in
charge Of the fireworks and every element OF
danger TO the spectators thus removed. Thou
sands paid for the privilege Of sitting the deck
OF Youngs pier and the auditorium and steel piers
to witness the spectacle. but their only advantage
over those who gathered the beach and Board
walk was feeling Of exclusycness. The display
confined entirely 10 aerial pyrotechncs which
visible from every part of the city. The
Boardwalk throughout the entire five miles Of it's
length was an excellent vantage point from which
10 view the exhibition while the soft sand OF the
beach furnished comfortable seats. And The whole
thing cost the spectators not penny. the expense
being met by voluntary subscriptions the part
Of patriotic citizens and business men.
SUNDAY LIQUOR SELLING QUESTION.
Judge Hendrickson's edict against Sunday liquor
selling universally obeyed last Sunday. and
the town was absolutely dry" for the first time
in its history There was and IS. a strong protest
against the Judges action in compelling Mayor
Stoy to close the saloons. but some OF the more
conservative people are beginning 70 think that
perhaps the severe measures taken viii not be
such a bad thing. after all It is almost unver-
sally admitted that the city Council has been en-
tirely too liberal in handing out liquor licenses
There too many saloons located on or close 70
the beach and it is alleged that a number Of per
sons to whom have been refused licenses In other
places because of the manner in which they COZ
question before they have resided in the city long
enough TO become legal residents. This. OF course
Is a sad Of affairs, and II is believed that
the strict enforcement Of the Sunday law will not
only force some OF these persons out OF business,
but will also act a warning 70 the City Fathers
to be more careful hereafter in granting licenses
The financial loss sustained by the closing of the
bars will fall entirely the propretors of saloons
and cafes. the additional patronage Of the best
class Of people will probably than compen-
frr.r
main away from the resort simply because their
supply Of goods is cut off Sunday.
AS soon as the horse show is the baseball
season will begin the summer series of games at
Inlet Park opening Monday July Is. Many of last
years favorites have been again secured 10 play
the local nine this season, and the places OF
others have been filled with first class men selected
principally from the leading college teams. Games
have been arranged with number Of the best
semi professional teams of the country and many
interesting and closely contested games may he
expected.
The much talked OF benches for the boardwalk
have last arrived and being put In place.
Contrary to expectation. the seats will not he
placed along the walk proper, but will occupy
spaces in pavilons and az street intersections
where there are wide platforms. But no
matter where they situated, the benches will
be acceptable to tired promenaders. for whom the
seating capacity of the paviions has always heen
Arrangements are being completed put a wire
less telegraph system in operation here about the
middle of July station Is being built
Young's pier. which will be the terminal In this
city. and the use OF the signal masts the gov
ernment life saving stations between here and
Cape May has been secured for receiving and
transmitting centres. Every effort will be made
to have the line in operation by July 15 and it will
no doubt attract great public interest and estab-
Hsh public confidence in the system of trans
mitting messages through space.
There will be free turnpike the
meadows to the mainland this year State Road
Commissioner Budd having vetoed the proposition
TO purchase the present private road Mr. Budd's
decision meets with general approval, as It
the general impression that the price agreed upon
by the County Board OF Freeholders was entirely
too high.
