THE CAMDEN MINISTER'S VISIT THE
RESORT IN A BODY.

Atlantic City. N j., June 80 (SpeciaD-This re-
sort taken by storm to-day by about sixty
preachers members of the Camden Ministerial
Association and in the time they spent here they
took in all the delightful pleasures OF the city
They came down this morning on an early train
and were Immediately escorted by a committee or
the local pastors to the inlet, where they en-
barked upon the yacht Corinthia, loaned for the
purpose by Frederick Burke, Of Philadelphia, who
has the craft here for the summer. After they had
spent q couple of hours in sailing on the mighty
deep, they ashore again, and then the bal
ance of the day spent in looking over the
sights on the piers and taking trolley rides, and
some took dip in the surf The preachers, many
of whom had never been IN the city before. left
with better impression of the place than they
had when they came here. Some of them said thac
they would think twice before they swallowed any
more of the stories brought 10 their notice con-
cerning the terrible wickedness of Atlantic City.
That patch of the green board walk in front OF
the steepechase pier, which was painted late Fri
day night early Saturday morning. Is causing
a great deal OF comment among the promenaders
on the walk. Some of the paint has rubbed of
on the skirts of the women visitors. and now their
husbands considering the advlsabilty OF bring
ing suit against the city for damages 1t is said
that the proprietor of the Hotel Dunlop will also
paint the walk in front of his hosiery bright
emerald hue in the course of day or so One
man who does not feel kindly disposed toward the
scheme and who is not the best kind OF sailor
said that every time he walked across the painted
place 1t made him feel SeaSlck, because II re-
sembled the color of the water the last time he
went sailing.
Once more the question of moving the board walk
seaward is being agitated- The merchants feel
that their property holdings would be increased
by about 2Oc feet and argue that the public would
appreciate a closer proximity to the water The
bathhouse people also in favor OF the move
rnent, for they say their patrons object to walk
ing over such a large stretch Of sand before
they get TO he water. Those opposed to the
a
walk that could be moved. between New-4ork ana
Massachusetts aYes., and the only reason given
for moving it is one of personal gain. The water
now when the tide Is high, comes up almost TO
where the walk is at present, and they say II
would be a detriment to the place 10 nave the
promenade moved out any further.
