ure Resort for Stays of
Various Length.

weather at ms resort QuTllS lue past
week has been delightful. and although
there were a few days that were some
what COOL still there was a great deal
of bathing. 10 the delight of those
whose business it is to hire out their
robes 10 the public While there has
been bathing from the early part of
May until the present time, there are
great many of the visitors TO this re-
sort that do not believe that the ac
tuaI bathing season commences until af-
ter the Fourth of July. But the bath
ing began earlier here this year than
it has for several years past, and almost
every fine day there have been large
number of people that have taken ad
vantage of the superb weather and
taken p dip in the old ocean.
Water Very Warm.
The water is very warm, but the fact
that the atmosphere is still somewhat
cool deters many from taking their first
dip. There have been no bathing acci
dents thus far this season. and very
little work for the life guards beyond
watching over the field of bathers and
seeing that they did not get injured or
drowned as the result of foolhardiness
or carelessness.
This year the beach is regarded as be-
ing better than last. Especially is this
noticeab BILE above the Steel Pier. Last
year there was a very strong undertow
in that part of the bathing beach, and
people were often caught there, and it
gave the life guards a great deal of
work and worry This year that beach
has been filled in a great deal by the
action of the tide and waves. and the
undertow is matter of history.

The League of American Wheelmen

Pier. Next there was the meeting of
